Summary
Merlin sighed and looked to the side, his shoulders pulling in uncomfortably. Arthur just watched in confusion and didn't understand.

Summary
Every time Arthur calls him useless, daft, an idiot, a clumsy oaf, Merlin takes it. He listens to him, believes him. Because he always believes Arthur. Because he listens to him even when the king thinks otherwise. Because after hearing something enough times, you eventually start believing it. Sometimes Merlin wonders why he doesn't simply sack him. Why he puts up with him every day. He tells himself it’s because destiny makes sure they stay together long enough for it to be completed, but he doesn't want to believe it. He doesn't want to think that's the only reason. He wants Arthur to at least care about him. At least a little. It would be enough for Merlin's gentle little heart.
