And for the final chapter my people!
Hey; weird question but; Haven't you ever accidentally wrote Arthur instead of Author or said Arthur instead of Author? Because it has to me and it`s becoming a daily occurrence...I have a theory it`s a decease that comes along with being a Merlin fan O.O ! ! !
2 days...it had been 2 days again he was`t going to get away with this.
When Merlin opened the door to the roof top Arthur was waiting again like last time with a glare on his face. When Merlin closed the door and turned around to Arthur the first thing he said was: "Is this going to be like some kind of habit?! Because I can already tell you I don`t like it!"
"Sorry..." Was all Merlin had close to a come back.
They sat down and they eat in silence it wasn't an uncomfortable silence it was all the opposite quite nice and comforting actually.
Then before he knew it his mind drifted back to the past 2 days. He had`t meant to it just happened. He found out they had arrested his father for driving drunk killing 2 people in the accident not to mention they had come to Gaius house to ask him questions before they actually did anything...he knew how that had gone. They had probably arrested him for what he had done to him radder that for the accident, no actually he knew. He had heard of other not getting arrested for the same things so he knew why it had happened.
And the thing was he had`t been able to bring himself to care. He felt guilty and then free, guilty again...Why did he felt so heartless? He knew it was`t in him to feel happy for the unfortunate things that had happened to his father but he could`t bring himself to stop smiling. To not think "I don`t have to see him anymore." "I don`t have to feel trapped anymore." "I don`t have anyone I fear anymore." and more importantly "I don`t have anyone close to me that can remind me of the past."
Then he felt how wrong those toughs ere he had no right to feel like that... Just like his father had said he should have never been born...at least not this way. "Merlin?" Arthur called his name worry could be heard in his voice. "Merlin...?" Merlin the snapped out of it and looked at Arthur. "Yeah?"
"Why are you crying?" He had`t noticed the hot tears that fell from his eyes not until now; maybe it would had stayed like that if Arthur hand`t told him about them; he tried to stop them but they just kept coming. "I-I..." Merlin sniffed and tried to not hiccup "I don`t know." tough he failed at it.
Arthur sighed. "Merlin, don`t try to hide it. I know you cut." Merlin looked back at Arthur wide eyed. "I have known for a while; well since the bridge in the park thing actually..."Arthur brought himself close to Merlin and placed his arm on Merlin`s shoulder bringing him close to him. "You can tell me you know. I find it highly unfair; you know everything about me and for me to hardly even know who you live with."
When Merlin calmed down he started to think about Arthur`s request... "It`s kind of a long story..."
"We have all day..."
"The bell sounds in 10 minutes." Merlin gave him a questioning brow. "If you go into the classroom looking like this they will think I was bullying you or something."
Merlin sighed in defeat. "Fine." He stayed silent trying to figure out how he was going to tell Arthur anything at all. Then he said what seemed to be the most easy way to start saying things: "You know those people that are born cursed?" Arthur frowned at him. "Cursed? You mean the ones that can do magic?" Merlin nodded. He took a breath in and murmured. "I can do magic." Merlin did`t looked at Arthur to see his reaction he did`t wanted to. What if he hated- "I don`t think they are cursed. Society rejects them because they are stronger and different. If you tough I would hate you Merlin . You were wrong it takes more than that to get rid of me." Arthur smiled at him and Merlin returned it.
"My mother died." Merlin continued. "Because of me."
"She died giving birth to you?" Arthur raised an eye brow in disbelieve. "No, she committed suicide because she radder die than continue living with me." Merlin said sounding more bitter than he intended. "My father had always being an alcoholic and he had always abused of me. When my mother died about 4 weeks ago I came here to move in with Gaius. I could`t take it anymore; I felt like a coward I was running away but I hated being and feeling trapped. 2 days ago my father got arrested and I felt happy about it even tough I knew it was wrong to feel such way I could`t help but to feel that way and the rest is history I guess. Do you still think I`m not cursed?"
Arthur was in loss of words...what was he supposed to say? Now he felt weak for wanting to commit suicide for such trivial matters. He had lived this long and it was because Merlin had given him the courage to. But then what about Merlin? Who was helping him? He had no-one telling him everything was going to be alright. He had, Merlin had been there. But then what about him who was there for him? Merlin needed someone more than he did.
Then something hit Arthur. "Arthur, I don`t know what you have been told. But, your mother loved you."Arthur`s reaction, he looked at the sky to not see it as tempting as it was he knew Arthur was`t one to cry in-front of others. Much like him then..."How can you know and say that?" Arthur asked voice broken; it made Merlin`s heart hurt to even hear it. "Because she gave birth to you, her love to you was unconditional no matter what you may think of it. She loved you and she always will. She would be sad if you took your life away because of her, you can`t do that to her." How could he even stand saying that with his mouth!? It made Arthur sick to watch a person like Merlin go trough all that. It started to sound ridiculous how much of a good person Merlin was, it made no sense ! How could he be like that with such a crap of a past?! If he did`t knew Merlin`s mother was dead he might have killed her personally after he showed her how much good of a person Merlin was! How could Merlin think so lowly of himself!? It made him feel sick, if he wanted to keep Merlin out of harms way before there was no way to describe how protective of him he was feeling right now.
Arthur's grip on Merlin had tightened and he hand`t know he still had his arm around Merlin if he hand`t done so. "You are not cursed. I doubt that a cursed person would stop me from killing myself from-" Arthur was cut of by the sound of snoring when he looked down at Merlin he found he had been fast asleep. Arthur glared at the body beside him. "You idiot...I`m here trying to make you feel better and you pay me back by drooling on me?!"
"Shut up Arthur." Merlin murmured in his sleep eyes closed. Arthur sighed he did`t know what life had planned ahead of him but, if it was going to help him protect the little idiot then he guessed his life was worth it. "night Merlin..."
