Authors Note: Okay I am so sorry it took me so long to update, i had a broken leg.. and school work, but you will get the next chapter faster than this I promise. I'm also working on a Glee/Merlin crossover idea, which i may put up some time in the near future. Oh and finally, do feel free to talk to me on tumblr, my name is the same as my author, extremely-good-finder.

Apparently Merlin COULD hide away forever. Arthur woke to the sound of Gwen bringing in his breakfast.

"Morning Sire"

Morning Gwen..ivere"

Gwen came over, carrying his clothes for the day. Arthur sighed as she kissed his forehead. Why couldn't he just feel that way towards her? Then everything would be so simple.

He heard a cough behind him.

Merlin was standing there, face cold and unmoving.

"Erm... I'll come back later."

"Merlin!" Arthur shouted.

But he had already gone.

Seeing Arthurs hurt and frustrated face, Gwen stood up, and walked out, calling, "Merlin?"

Merlin walked back down the corridor, breaking down into tears again. God, he was stupid. How was he going to cope when Arthur and Gwen were actually married?

"Merlin."

Merlin turned to see Gwen standing there, confusion and worry etched all over her face.

"Merlin, what's going on?" Her voice was quiet, but insistent.

"I..I… I don't know what you're talking about." He managed to stammer out, avoiding eye contact.

"Merlin. I can tell when you're lying to me. You AND Arthur have been acting really weirdly and I want to know what is happening. "

"I.. I can't tell you."

"Did you finally tell Arthur you love him or something? Merlin? Is that what happened?"

"WHAT? GWEN I.. WHAT.. YOU.. I..YOU… KNOW?"

Merlin looked at her with wide eyes. She coughed, a laugh threatening to erupt out of her mouth. He realised what he had said.

"I mean erm… told Arthur what?"

"Merlin. I know. "

But.. you and Arthur, you love him and"

"Merlin, shut up and listen to me. Yes I love him. As a friend. And I am totally happy to help him figure out whatever self-denial sexuality crisis he is going through. But I know you and him will end up together. EVENTUALLY. Once you stop being so stupid and finally tell him how you feel, let me know."

Gwen walked away.

Merlin sighed. He slid down the wall and sat on the floor. He seemed to be doing a lot of that these days.

"Gwen."

Merlin pouted as he realised Gwen was ignoring him.

"Gwen."

She turned away from him and continued folding the sheet in her hands.

"GWEN!" He shouted exasperatedly.

"Yes Merlin? "She replied smoothly.

"Can I talk to you?"

Gwen hid her smile and replied

"Of course."
