chapter4
I have died every day waiting for you, darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years, I'll love you for a thousand more.
Morgana was in the kitchen, she wanted to slap Arthur right now. She had made Merlin a sandwich so he could have something to eat, but Arthur told her to just pop a pizza in the oven. Now a perfectly good sandwhich was on the table and Merlin was going to have fun eating the pizza she bought for lunch tomorrow.
She ended up smiling. Merlin was adorable though. She couldn't say no. Her smiled slowly faded. It pissed her off to think of what Uther had done to the boy all these years. She could just take a stick and slap him herself with it.
She looked towards the living room where she saw Arthur putting Merlin to sit on the couch and watch TV. She walked over and smiled at Arthur who seemed to be annoyed yet enjoying himself at the same time. He handed Merlin the remote then walked towards Morgana.
"Is the pizza done yet?"
She shook her head. "Five more minutes." She looked at Merlin. "He seems to be enjoying himself."
Arthur nodded. "I think it's a good thing." His sister looked at him. "Morgana, do you realize that it would take a person years to get over something like this. Merlin... he seems to be getting better real fast."
Morgana smiled and nodded. "That is a good thing then. But credit is due." She looked at Arthur. "You're doing great with him and he trusts you. That's why it's working."
"Merlin come on, pizza." Morgana called.
The boy raised his eyebrows and stood up from the couch. He walked over to the kitchen nearly dropping Morgana in the process.
Arthur pulled the pizza out of the oven and lay it on the counter in the middle of the kitchen. He grabbed a knife and cut it into triangles for the three of them.
Merlin looked towards the table and smiled wide.
Morgana eyed the boy as Arthur placed three plates on the counter. "Uh... Arthur..." She laughed.
The blond looked at Merlin and he sighed. "Merlin, I thought you wanted pizza."
The boy looked at the food. "I'll take that too." He said with his mouth full. He walked over and pulled a slice, letting the cheese stretch. "This is a good sandwich." Merlin moaned nodding, then took a bite of the pizza.
Arthur's brows raised.
"Oh! Merlin here." Morgana quickly handed him a cup of iced tea.
The boy grabbed the cup and took a long gulp. His eyes widen and he took a deep breath. "That's sweet." He took another bite of the pizza, closed his eyes and moaned.
Morgana laughed again, this time Arthur had to join in.
After the huge dinner, the three sat on the couch watching TV, where Merlin quickly fell asleep on Arthur's shoulder. The blond chuckled. "I should take him to bed."
Morgana shook her head. "No!" She whispered. "You'll wake him up. This is the first nice sleep he's had in... who knows how long. Let him rest. We can all sleep here anyway. Like we were going to do with our friends."
Arthur nodded in agreement. He slowly pulled away from Merlin and lay his head on the couch then lifted his feet so his thin body took the whole couch then pulled a blanket over him. The blond walked over to his sleeping bag and lay down, then fell asleep watching Merlin's sleeping form.
