READER IMAGINES [1]

Merlin x Reader

For @Jenny_DiCaprio :)

"This can't be happening," you breathe, "what the hell is going on?!"

You sit up in your bed as your hands continue to shake. You're going into shock so your hands are shaking and your forehead is sweating. You're breathing heavily as you look at your hands.

Suddenly they start to tingle and you get worried.

"No, no! Not again!"

You close your hands into fists but as soon as you do the candles in your room explode. You shriek and start to cry.

"Stop it, please stop it!"

You get out of your bed and begin pacing around your room, hands still shaking. You've found out a couple days ago that you have magic, but you haven't been able to control it.

You shut your eyes and try to calm down but as you open them again your glass mirror shatters. Tears stream down your face as you fall to the ground.

"Make it stop!" You shout.

Suddenly a knock can be heard at your door. The noise distracts you from your raging magic and you stand up and walk towards the door.

"Who is it?" You say, voice a little hoarse from shouting.

"Merlin." Comes the reply.

You gasp.

"Merlin!"

You swing open your door and practically drag Merlin inside your bedroom. You shut the door and turn to look at him.

"You don't know how happy I am to see you, Merlin."

He smiles and scratches the back of his head.

"I, uh, heard shouting. Are you ok?" He asks.

Merlin knows about your magic. He said that if you ever needed to talk to someone about it you could talk to him. You're happy that you can because for some reason when you're around him you can control your magic.

"I am now." You say, "My magic was out if control again, but it has stopped now."

Merlin nods and walks over to you, seeing that your hands are still shaking. He holds your hands and suddenly the shaking stops. You sigh and smile at him.

"Thank goodness." You breathe.

Merlin smiles at you and then tucks your messy hair behind your ear. You must look horrible; you've been crying and you have bed hair. Nevertheless, Merlin's touch calms you down.

"Thank you, Merlin." You say.

Merlin lets go of your hands and backs away slightly.

"You don't have to thank me. Just trying to help." He says.

"And you're helping me so much. You don't even have magic but you can control it better than I can."

Merlin shuffles awkwardly and smiles at you again.

"I just wish I wasn't the only one." You whisper.

Merlin hears your whisper and looks down at the floor. After a moment of silence he looks back up at you.

"(Y/N)," He begins.

"Yes?"

"What if... you weren't the only one with magic... what if you're not alone?"

"Oh, I highly doubt that, Merlin. Uther has destroyed all magic here in Camelot. I'm just lucky that he doesn't know about me."

Merlin is silent again and you can feel the tension rising in the room.

"Why?" You ask, "Do you know someone who also has magic?"

Merlin looks up at you and nods.

"Who?!"

You can feel your heart leaping out of your chest. Someone like you! You really aren't alone!

"Me." Says Merlin.

You hold your breath. Merlin? He has magic, too?

"You do?" You ask.

He nods again. You smile and walk closer to him.

"When did you find out?" You ask, again.

"A long time ago, but I've kept it a secret." Merlin says.

"Who else knows?"

"Only Gaius. He's actually helping me with my magic."

"Can you control it?"

Merlin nods and raises his hand. On his palm a flicker starts until it becomes a full fire in his hand. You gasp and smile at his magical talent.

"See, (Y/N). You are not alone."
