Forbidden love; A Mergana story

Flowers

"this has to stop" says Arthur. Merlin turns around to see Arthur emerge from the shadows.
"The king would have your head if he found out, and there's no point denying it"

"denying what?" Merlin replies, praying Arthur didn't know the truth behind today's events, about Morganas magic.

"Your affections for the Lady Morgana"

Merlin chuckles at him. "Right" he replies as he turns to walk away.

"Take abit of advice from someone who... knows about women" Arthur replies as he grabs Merlins shoulder.

"Well if such a person existed i would" He jokes back

"Stick to girls who are... how can i put it... on your level"

"thanks"

"She can't be your friend, let alone anything else" Says Arthur as he reflects his own affections for Gwen.

"Yeah i know"

"You can't hide anything from me Merlin" Arthur says as he walks of

Merlin gulps. "wouldn't dream of it"

That night, Merlin lay in his bed reflecting on Arthur's words. sure, Merlin thought. Morgana was beautiful, and she did have magic, like him. But he'd never really considered her that way before.

He continued to think about Morgana, and tried to decipher why Arthur thought he liked her. He caught himself smiling at the thought of her. Maybe he did like Morgana a little bit. But who didn't? Her overwhelming compassion and love was sure to make any man attracted to her.

Shorty after this Merlin drifted to sleep. And that night he dreamt about her. A picnic, just the two of them, they sat and gazed into eachovers eyes. They inched closer together until their lips softy touched. Until the need grew and both of them kissed eachover harder. Morgana wrapped her arm around him and ran her fingers through his hair. Merlin kissed softly down her neck and...

Merlin woke up to Gaius banging on the door.

"Merlin you are going to be late!"

"I'm awake i'm awake!" Merlin shouts as he sits up in his bed. He tries to dismiss his dream but catches himself thinking about it again as he dresses. He puts on his usual attire, A blue tunic and a red scarf. And he scoffs down his breakfast as fast as he can. He had something to do before going to Arthur.

He roams the nearby woods looking for bright flowers to add to his bouquet. And when he is satisfied he rushes to Morganas chambers. He was desperate to arrive before Gwen so he could speak to her alone.

He knocks on he door and Morgana answers in her night dress.

"Merlin" she says suprised. "I was expecting Gwen"

Merlin chuckles "Well, i wanted to give you these" He pulls the bouquet of flowers from behind his back and Morgana looks at him questioningly. She wondered why Merlin was bringing him flowers this early in the morning.

Merlin read her mind and says "I know you haven't been sleeping well since you've discovered your... magic so i wanted to cheer you up a little.

Morgana smiles at Merlin. He had always been so good to her and his heart was so pure.

"Thank you Merlin, it means a lot to have such a loyal friend"
