Reactions of the Idiot King

Chapter thirty- rushed

"You could have told who yourself?" Gwaine asked, looking at his friend, worried as the warlock fell to his knees, tears just coursing down in face as he looked at the ground in pain, ignoring the King, who stood in front of the man with a worried expression.

"I could have told you what happened myself, but I was in shock." The torment on the warlock's expression stunned the King in front of him, "You see, I had finally come back, to see that you guys cared about me still, I almost thought it was some sick cruel joke."

"Why would we do that to you Merlin?" Gwen spoke, her eyes glimmering with unshed tears.

"It scared the hell out of me, I was worried it was an act to hurt me, to kill me again." Merlin spoke without a trace of emotion running in his expression, nor his voice, but what shocked everyone most was the lack of emotion in his eyes as he looked into the King's own pained eyes.

"Never again are we going to allow something so cruel happen to you, Merlin." Arthur spoke as Gaius let out a pained sigh.

"Do not make promises you can not keep, Arthur Pendragon." Merlin said as he stood, his eyes flashing gold as Arthur stepped up to Merlin, suddenly unable to move as the warlock stepped back in disgust.

"Stay away from me, Arthur, or I fear I may just hurt you yet." The threat in the air had everyone's breath stopping in it's tracks as Merlin scowled at the man in front of him. "You may say that you are fine with who I am now, with what I am." Merlin spat, "But I will never be able to forgive you after you banished me."

The King could not fathom what the man had gone through, unable to say anything back to the man he believed once was his most loyal and trusted friend when Leon stepped up, "It was a mistake Arthur highly regrets, and you are going to punish him for something so trival?"

"I know it was a mistake, I know he regrets it." Merlin snapped, "Now, you had best leave to Camelot to save the thrown, or else Camelot will fall, and she will win." With that, Merlin vanished.

"Why is he acting like this?" Arthur snapped, "I didn't think he cared about my past mistakes."

"Arthur," Gaius spoke up sullenly, "The Merlin we knew is gone. He's scared, alone, and heartbroken. It seems the time has come for him to see no hope in his destiny, Arthur."

"Why would he see no hope?" Arthur asked, sounding confused as Percival sighed in deeply. A deer walked up into the clearing, coming right up to Arthur as he recognised the deer.

"Sadie." Gaius murmured, the deer perking her ears up at the old man, then looking back at Arthur. "Arthur, follow her, please."

"Why?" Arthur asked, looking into the deer's eyes, seeing a sort of recognition fall through the doe's expression.

"It's Merlin's deer." Percival murmured, "She's the one that's never come up to us."

"Why would she be here?" Gwen asked, looking at the doe with awe.

"Merlin's in trouble, Arthur, he's scared. You are only but half the coin, Merlin the other." Arthur looked at them, feeling some hope spark up as the deer walked off, Arthur looking nervous.

"Merlin needs us, princess. Bring him back." Gwaine spoke as Arthur sprinted after the deer.

The warlock appeared in a small cave, immediatly falling to his knees, his hands gripping his hair as he screamed his pain. He had threatened the man he had vowed to protect, he had already forgiven the man for his mistakes, so why did it hurt so much when he confronted the King? It made no sense to him, he couldn"t place the feeling at all.

Looking up, a young deer had slowly crept her way to the cave entrance. Merlin looked at the deer with a pained gaze. What had he expected in actually going to them when he knew what was going on? It led him to Mordred's death, and Aithusa's betrayel to her own kin.

Closing his eyes he ground his teeth, closing his eyes as he ran a hand through his hair, silently cursing himself for letting himself slip back into this depression he had fought so hard to rid himself of as he came back as Agnien. It had almost worked, he was happy, and sure that he could forgive Arthur and fufill his destiny without a single problem.

A choked sob escaped his lips as he sat down criss cross, leaning against the cave wall as he closed his eyes, the tears still falling from his face. Never before had he been so disturbed. It was very badly that he wanted to just forgive Arthur and forget.

It was only when he heard the stunned intake of breath that his body froze, the man turning his head to see the King, who looked out of breath and worn down, Sadie, the deer, shorty behind him, nuzzling the younger doe. Merlin turned his head away as Arthur stepped into the cave, cautiously.

"Merlin-" He murmured, sitting beside the warlock, hesitating as he did so.

"Don't." He whispered, "I don't want to hear how sorry you are."

"Merlin, just hear me out." Arthur murmured, pain striking into his heart as he saw the man tense up.

"No." Merlin snapped, turning to face Arthur as he flinched further away, realising how close the man was to him. "I-I can't.. Arthur it's-"

"Merlin, calm yourself." Arthur murmured as he pulled the younger man into an embrace. "You're safe here."

"No, I'm not," Merlin cried, turning away from the man. "You don't understand the danger you are in Arthur, being around me right now."

"Why is that?" He asked the man, who had pulled himself away from Arthur, backing up into a corner, looking oddly like a trapped dog.

"I'm scared of losing control Arthur." Merlin whispered. "If I killed you-"

"You won't, Merlin, please." Arthur snapped. "Listen to me, please."

"I am, you just wont listen to me." Merlin snapped. "You never have."

Arthur sighed, rubbing his temple as he realised Merlin was shaking, whether in conceled anger or sadness, he could not tell.

"Merlin, it tore me apart after I banished you." Arthur murmured, "You do realise that?"

"yes, sire." Merlin muttered, sounding defeated as Arthur took a deep breath in, silence falling over the two.
