Hi guys. This is the chapter 26. Not really interesting, I think that this chapter is one of my good ones as writing. It's way short, but there wasn't much more I could say on this topic.

Really romantic 3 3 and Mergana-ish.

Tell me what you thought !

I don't own Merlin.

"Arthur" Morgana ran to the exit following Arthur who had left with Gwen.

"Morgana" Merlin went after her "It's no use, he's gone" he folded his hands around her and held her close to him. She was slightly trembling and sobbing. Slowly she followed him inside. Mordred was waiting for them.

"He will come around" Merlin assured her. "We are right in this. Faster or later, he will realize it ad he will understand that we were actually telling the truth."

Morgana nodded. Merlin sat up and went to bring some tea and biscuits as Mordred went to the balcony for some fresh air.

After ten minutes the tension from Arthur's outburst had been eased and they sat together at the living room again to resume their talk.

"Now you will tell me the story, from the beginning. Leave nothing out. I want to help." Mordred announced.

Two hours later

"Whoo" Mordred sighed. "That's much to take in in only one night."

"Imagine having to live through it" Morgana joked.

Mordred sat up and stretched himself. "I think I should be going now." He said. "It's quite late and I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Sure" Morgana went to walk with him to the door while Merlin lied on the couch and turned the television on.

"Have a good night's sleep, dear." Morgana told him as she shuffled his hair.

"Come on, Morgana," Mordred laughed. "I'm a university student; you don't have to treat me like I'm 9"

"True" she agreed as he left. "Good night"

She came back to see Merlin on the sofa, watching a TV show. His brow was furrowed and he looked adorable in her eyes. She brought a blanket, lied next to him and wrapped it around both of them.

One hour later

"Merlin" she poked him on the arm.

"Yes" he said sleepily. The dull TV show had taken effect, obviously.

"What time is it?"

He reached for his mobile to see the time. "It's eleven p.m, why?"

"It's late" she said, simply. "I'll go to bed, I think" she lazily started to get up.

Merlin stood up, too. He went to the bathroom to change into his sleeping clothes and then made his way to the bedroom, expecting to find Morgana there. She was not. He looked around in the house and Morgana, like always, surprised him.

Morgana was in the balcony looking outside, at the city below them. She was wrapped in a sleeping robe but it was obvious that it didn't provide her with all the warmth she needed for a cold winter night. Her skin was pale like always and emphasized by the moonlight, but her cheeks were rosy from the cold. Her long raven her were flowing freely on her back, long until her waist and curly. Merlin put his hand in his pocket to ensure that he still had it on. It was the right time.

"Morgana" he whispered as he had leaned closer to her and placed his hands on her waist.

"Hmm" she turned to him.

"What were you thinking about, I wonder?" he said, not raising the tone of his voice.

"Many things" she stroked his arm. "Never mind, nothing interesting"

"I need to tell you something" Merlin started. "Ask you, actually"

He had her full attention now. She was looking at him with her bright jade eyes and he couldn't help but remind himself how beautiful and perfect she was. She melted his heart with the adoring gaze she was giving him.

Morgana looked at Merlin. The amazing man that had come into her life by chance and had found a special place in her heart. She had given him her whole being, she would give everything and do anything for him. And he had helped her when she needed, he had loved her like no one had ever done before, and had given her comfort and safety when she was at her most vulnerable. To say that she was in love with him would be an understatement.

Merlin kneeled down on the hard earth of the balcony, in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat. She knew what he had in mind, or so she thought. He was looking at her, and she felt as if he was staring right inside her soul. She didn't feel uncomfortable at the thought. She even wished he really could she inside her, as it was the only thing she could no share with him. She wanted no borders whatsoever in their relationship. He took her hands in his and gently stroked them with his thumbs,

"Morgana Pendragon Le Fay, will you do me the extraordinary honour of becoming my wife?" he spelled.

He knew what her answer would be before she opened her mouth to give a reply. The way she was looking at him was more than enough. Her eyes were teary and she was giving him the brightest, most brilliant smile he had ever seen.

"God yes" she said.

He took the ring out of his pocket.

He took her hand in his and slowly placed it on her ring finger, to come to a perfect fit.

"Merlin, it's beautiful" she told him.

"It's yours. It was my mother's she told me to give it to the one who manages to steal your heart. And you have achieved that, Morgana Pendragon Le Fay."

Morgana looked at the ring that was now gracing her finger and then at Merlin. She was happy, for once. Not momentarily, or just ignoring her troubles. What she was now feeling was overwhelming joy. She didn't want to hold back her feelings. And she didn't. She crashed her mouth on Merlin's.

"Thank you so much" she mumbled against him.

"What for?" he grinned.

"Being you" she breathed.

So, it's official. They proposed. Yay! Chapter finished on a happy note!

Keep reading, more drama to come ;)

Yours always
