The irresponsive silence (4/4)

[anonymous]

"Oh," Merlin feels something in his throat tighten and his eyes feel hot. He wishes he'd blown out that candle, but only stares down and nods. "All right, Arthur. All right."

Arthur cards his fingers through Merlin's hair, softly, carefully, and brushes his thumb against Merlin's cheekbone. "Thanks," he says softly, breathlessly, like Arthur means for everything.

Merlin looks up at Arthur and thinks that maybe he really does.

**

The next morning Merlin wakes up groggy and disoriented for a second before Arthur noses against his ear and mumbles an endearment so quiet Merlin can't quite make it out. They stay in bed until Merlin has to get up and jams his elbow onto one of Arthur's bedposts.

"How are you more coordinated than I am?" Merlin snaps, unthinking.

He's deeply afraid for a second that he's ruined everything, until Arthur throws his head back and laughs for the first time in a year. Merlin's chest swells with feeling and Arthur drags him back into bed, claiming they can stand another hour before he's needed.

Merlin kisses Arthur's right shoulder and agrees as he feels Arthur's heart stutter in his chest.

"With some improvement you could almost be as bad as someone missing an arm."

Hahaha, I'm glad Arthur finally gets his sense of humour back.

I enjoyed this story, particularly the bits about Arthur's grief and recovery.

I'm so pleased you liked it. I was worried I went too far with the arm slicing or something.

Can't leave the boys without a happy ending. I am too much of a wuss for that. :D

"You're still my king," Merlin whispers

That line was absolute perfection ♥

So good.

Poignant and gorgeous and sweet. Ugh, heartbreak seems to be the theme of the Merlin fandom these days, and this is beautiful. Loved how Arthur is slowly learning to stand up on his feet again, and I think it's so important that losing an arm does not mean he's an invalid.

Most of all, I love how Merlin, Morgana, and Gwen were there to lend him support. Really, really wonderful. Thanks for sharing. ♥
