I'm sorry, I tried to stop myself but I just couldn't sop myself from updating (I know it's he third time today and hardly anyone reads this BUT I'M BORED!) Okay it says it's a little while later, idk how much later it is but Uther is still alive and Morgana still doesn't know he's her father but Arthur has kissed Gwen. It is slightly AU so not everything that happens in the TV show actually happened in this story. enjoy xoxo :)

Magic Chose Us

Chapter 3

-A little while later-

Working with Morgana had been a dream come true for Merlin. He finally had someone he could confide almost everything with. Almost. Of course, after being able to share his magical secret with more than just Gaius a new secret had began to burn within him. And he couldn't find the courage to discuss this one with even Gaius.

He liked Morgana. More than liked; he loved her.

Everything she did made his heart flutter inside his chest. When he played with her hair or smiled or laughed. She looked like an angel with everything she did. And when she started on the topic of magic, angelic didn't begin to cover it. He loved the way she would become immersed in the spell he was trying to teach her and how she would persistently stick with it until she had gotten it no less than perfect. It was refreshing to be able to work with her.

The more Merlin taught her, the more powerful she became. Morgana was beginning to have more control over her magic and although she couldn't control her dreams, now she knew what they were and who to go to with them; Merlin.

Let's not forget that the more powerful Morgana became, the closer she got to Merlin and Arthur wasn't oblivious to their growing relationship, even if he didn't understand it.

One day, when Merlin was teasing him about his infatuation with Gwen, Arthur decided to bring up Merlin's relationship with Morgana.

'How was it with Gwen today?' Merlin asked light heartedly as the prince returned to his quarters.

'Probably not as good as your day with Morgana,' He replied with an evil grin.

Merlin felt the tips of his ears go as red as his neckerchief, 'I don't know what you mean.'

'I'm not oblivious to you spending all your free time with Morgana,' Arthur stated.

'We're friends,' Merlin said simply, trying to keep his true feelings out of his voice.

'Hmm, I find it hard to believe that the king's ward and a lowly servant could be friends.'

'She's also friends with Gwen... As I can remember you've said it yourself that you consider me a friend. And of course, two can play at that game; I find it hard to believe the future king of Camelot and a lowly maid can be more than friends.'

'Shut up, Merlin,' Arthur growled.

'What have you done this time, Merlin?' Morgana asked as she appeared in the room.

Arthur scowled at her, 'Why are you here, Morgana? You'd have a fit if I dared to come into your chambers.'

'Because a gentleman doesn't go through a ladies things,' Morgana replied, 'I actually came here to tell you that Uther has requested your presence.' Arthur growled in annoyance but left to go to the throne room anyway.

'Is that really why you came here?' Merlin asked when he was quite sure Arthur was out of hearing distance.

Morgana smiled, 'Partly.'

'What's the other part?' Merlin asked.

'I wanted to see you,' she smiled.

Merlin chuckled, 'what do you want a spell for this time?'

Morgana pretended to be deep in thought, 'I don't want to learn any spells today, and I just wanted to spend time with my friend.'

Merlin didn't know how to feel about that. He loved that he and Morgana were friends, despite the fact that she was indeed the king's ward and he was just a servant (though a very powerful one at that). But at the same time he didn't want to be just her friend.

They made their way to Gaius' place and Merlin asked, 'So if you don't want to practice magic what do you want to-' He was cut off by morgana's lips crushing into his.
