Warnings/Spoilers: Spoilers for 1.10, Moment of Truth
Summary: A series of one-shots written based on scenes/lines from Moment of Truth. Kind-of sequel to Rescuing Arthur.
Merlin knew he shouldn’t have been listening. But when the girls were lying so close, it was hard not to. Especially when it was a conversation such as this.
“Why do you think he came here?” Gwen’s voice was cautious, as though already knowing the answer, but wanting to hear it verified.
“The same reason we did. Merlin. Arthur may act like he doesn't care, but... he wouldn't be here if he didn't.” Morgana sounded so sure, and Merlin threw his arm over his head, covering his ear.
His mother had thought so, too. But no. Arthur couldn’t care for Merlin, not like that. Merlin was finding it hard to believe that the prince was even here in the first place. Merlin couldn’t imagine Arthur ever doing anything like this just for him.
At least, not without an ulterior motive.
Maybe that was it. Maybe by saving Merlin’s village, Arthur thought his life debt would be repaid and Merlin could stop serving him?
Yes, that’d be it. Arthur just wanted Merlin out of his hair.
Well. Merlin wasn’t complaining.
