Merlin is owned by the BBC, not by me.
The final part to my story, it is now based on Merlin's birthday.
"Merlin, time to wake up!" Gaius shouted out.
Merlin groaned, slowly opening his eyes. His body was being shaken, which was what he hated. Merlin knew that this day would come. He looked up at Gaius.
"Next time, don't shake my shoulders." Merlin requested.
Gaius chuckled. "I'm sorry." He simply said.
Merlin sat up, roaming his fingers through his short, black hair. "I guess Arthur will need my services…" Merlin moaned.
"Actually, no he doesn't." Gaius told him.
Merlin raised an eyebrow. Why would Arthur not need him today? Merlin looked at Gaius.
"He what?" Merlin asked.
"Arthur wants you to have the day off." Gaius answered.
"Thank God." Merlin whispered. He clambered off the bed, flinging on his jacket.
"Happy birthday, Merlin." Gaius said.
Merlin groaned, that was exactly the reason he wasn't looking forward to waking up. He breathed out, looking up at Gaius.
"Thank you, but you didn't have to say it." Merlin insisted. He opened the door, heading down the set of steps. Gaius soon followed him, closing the door.
Gwen burst the door open, jogging slightly towards Merlin.
"Gwen!" Merlin exclaimed.
Gwen had smiled at him, and she held out a small box for Merlin to take.
"Happy birthday, Merlin." Gwen spoke softly.
Merlin had smiled at her, and he carefully took the box. He unwrapped it, and then opened the box. He looked inside, his blue eyes glistening.
"Wow." Merlin quietly commented. He pulled out a thread necklace. It held a sapphire stone, attracting to the eye. Merlin balanced the necklace on his hand, examining it so carefully. Merlin then smiled, his hand slowly closing to grip it lightly. "Thank you, Gwen." Merlin soon responded.
Gwen had smiled, and she quickly gave Merlin a hug. Merlin had returned the hug, breathing in. He soon pulled away, looking back at Gwen.
"Arthur wishes to see you in his chambers now." Gwen spoke.
Merlin nodded his head, walking past Gwen. Looking back at the door, Gwen smiled and soon followed him out.
Arthur stood in his chambers, he was looking out of the window. The door soon opened, with Merlin stepping inside. He walked forward, standing near the table.
"You wished to see me, Sire?" Merlin asked.
Arthur turned to face Merlin, a grin across his lips.
"Yes, I did, Merlin." Arthur responded. He walked towards Merlin, and he smiled. "You have the day off today." Arthur announced.
"Thank you, Sire." Merlin said. He smiled widely.
"It is your birthday today, so that is a good reason to grant you this day off." Arthur commented. He looked at Gwen, who soon walked. "There is also something else for you, but you need to go to Morgana's chambers." Arthur added on.
Merlin had breathed in, feeling his body tense up. But he soon nodded, and he walked out of Arthur's chambers. Gwen looked at Arthur, and she smiled at him.
"Did she say yes?" Arthur asked.
Gwen nodded her head, a wide smile across her lips.
"Of course she did. She's glad that you gave Merlin the day off." Gwen answered.
Arthur smiled, walking towards Gwen.
"I'm glad." Arthur commented. He slipped his arms around Gwen, embracing her so gently.
Morgana sat on her chair, facing the small mirror. She looked at herself, feeling nervous. A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. She turned her head.
"Come in!" Morgana shouted calmly. She looked back at the mirror, swallowing nervously.
Merlin stepped inside, closing the door. He walked towards the middle of the room, breathing out. Merlin froze on the spot, looking at her back.
"Arthur sent me here…" Merlin began to explain.
Morgana had smiled, and she soon stood up. She looked at Merlin, walking towards him.
"Good." Morgana simply said. She stopped in front of him, taking his hands in hers.
Merlin had looked at her, his left eyebrow slightly arched.
"Why is that good?" Merlin asked her.
Morgana chuckled at him, moving her hands to hold onto his waist now.
"Because that means, we get to spend some time together." Morgana answered. She planted a kiss on his cheek. "Your birthday present is me, there is no need to unwrap me." Morgana explained.
Merlin had chuckled, taking her face gently in his hands. His thumbs started to brush gently across her skin.
"You're my best present so far." Merlin commented.
"Well, I'll make sure you are happy, Merlin." Morgana promised him.
Merlin kissed her lips, and then pulled back to look at her.
"You always make me happy, just by looking at you." Merlin commented.
Morgana had blushed lightly, her green eyes looking up at his ocean blue eyes.
"I love you, Merlin!" Morgana beamed. She smiled widely at him, her arms going around his neck.
"I love you to." Merlin softly responded.
"Come here you gorgeous Warlock." Morgana said.
Merlin raised an eyebrow, his lips parting slightly.
"Wait, how did you-?" Merlin began to asked.
"I knew ages ago. You have to remember, that I am a Seer." Morgana answered straight away.
"Fair enough." Merlin commented.
Morgana smiled at him, breathing out so gently.
"As I was saying…" Morgana began to speak. She kissed his lips quickly, and looked up at him. "Come closer you gorgeous Warlock." Morgana finally said.
Merlin leant his lips closer to hers, feeling the attraction between them. Their lips touched, not pulling away from each other. Merlin kept a strong, but gentle grip around her waist. He loved this kiss, and would never ever want to let this go.
Morgana felt so happy to be in his arms, so happy to be in love with him. They may be different from each other, but they had a lot in common with each other. Morgana wanted this to last, wanted to feel this passion continue. Morgana knew that Merlin was the one who would make her feel safe, the one who would love her for who she was. All that mattered to her, was that Merlin did love her.
And that's the end of the story, what did you think?
