bbc merlin| In your hands my heart rests (Ch. 6/a)

[ca_te]

After hours, the battle is over, the last Mercian soldiers have surrendered or run away. The grass is slick with blood and Merlin feels so weak he is surprised he still manages to stand. He can feel the weight of Arthur’s gaze on him, as that of Gwaine’s, Leon’s and all the other knights. They all saw him, they all know now.

It leaves Merlin torn

I know Arthur was shocked and hurt but Merlin had just saved his men and Arthur himself so this swift, stiff punishment is gutting. Merlin has never lived on his own and now he's been set loose into the world without a friend or a place to go. I know he can protect himself, but his heart must be broken.

I know, I am sorry for all the angst I have thrown in there, but I figured Arthur would have been pretty shocked and hurt. I hope you'll like the end of the story, though :) Also, thanks for reading and for all the comments you left! It meant the world to me! <3
