magic reveal
and it just breaks arthur
because he's been betrayed and lied to and had the trust he had in other people, important and loved people, just thrown back on his face
he's been angry, he's been sad, he lashed out and yelled and screamed and slashed his sword
but it didn't fix how hurt he felt and it didn't fix anything
but at least through all of that, he had merlin
until this. until merlin sits across from him, his eyes wide and wet and desperate, the whispered confession hanging in the air between them in arthurs chambers and it tears him apart
and instead of lashing out, instead of being angry at merlin or suspicious or sad or anything...
he just nods, hangs his head and says okay and goes to bed, leaving merlin sitting in the chair, unsure and waiting. he doesn't respond when merlin calls his name, when he prods for an answer, when he begs for him to say anything.
because this is worse. Worse than if arthur had thrown him out, locked him in the dungeons, tied him to the pyre, exiled him from the kingdom, called him a monster or a liar.
knowing that it was this that tore the fight out of the man that is his destiny. arthur who is golden and furious and brave, who throws himself into battle, who stands up for his people, who learns and grows and keeps going even through the hardships and hurt and pain
merlin watches arthur close off like his father had when morgana betrayed them and it hurts worse than anything else arthur could have done

Whose your master?
twst an fate/ cross over
(twst icons brought to you by @psychicxhearts-blog1)
no one asked for this but me an my own brain so I'm making it!
warnings/triggers: blood, violence mentions of sex traffickers(don't worry they all die)
"Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall. Let the four cardinal gates close.
Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate.
Let it be declared now; your flesh shall serve under me, and my fate shall be with your sword."
Then the the use of either your blood or the blood of something else in the form of the circle after words the mana from the grail helps conjure a servant from the relic you have brought....at least that is how it is normally done.
"HAHAHA JADE LOOK LOOK LOOK!" Floyds voice shouts with flagrant excitement as he holds the wrist of a rather angry looking individual.
said man whips his hand out of Floyd's grasp rather easily "Oi! Who the hell are you? you the dumbass who summoned me!?"
Jade couldn't help but chuckle it would seem the grail chose someone a little to similar to his brother way to amusing for him "about time you summoned him Floyd, Azul was getting worried that you'd be left behind" he said with a smirk
Floyd only laughed as a response "he worries over nothing i told him it'd summon something when I'm in the mood an i did!"
"enough yapping!" voiced the man that the two of them could tell was a berserker "I'm itching for some killing when can i start!?"
"very eager hu? me to! hay i know where some of the lackeys are want to come play with me it'll be way more fun with more people!" Floyd practically skipped thinking of the carnage he was about to unfold.
berserker had a sharp toothed grin about him "now your speaking my language what are we waiting for" the berserker ran after his supposed master leaving Jade in the dust.
"i was going to tell them that we had to report to Azul ah well" so he said but he seemed to enjoy watching them leave with such glee on there faces.
"master" an appeared out of his spirit form bowing in front of Jade his long dark hair gliding across the tiles of the roof they stood upon as they watched Floyd an the berserker run onward "should i keep an eye on them?"
"that won't be necessary when Floyd's mood drops he'll be bursting threw the door asking for a snack an a nap" he says with all do confidences while Floyd isn't exactly predictable regardless of what he does during the night or day he always returns home.
-
"AHAHAHAA!" Floyd kicks the door to there hide out so fast it shatters in to splinters shredding threw out the entrance hall of the place they're invading. Berserker doesn't waste time an charges in killing anyone in his way. "hay no fair! getting a head start!" Floyd seemed to almost whine as he said that.
"you snooze you lose!" shouts the berserker as he started cutting down the enemy at breakneck speed.
Floyd eventually caught though he wasn't using a weapon just his barehand's he squeezed there necks or faces shattering them like glass. "hahaha! hay hay what number are you at lets keep score!"
"You Bastard!" one of the enemies shouted "we're under treaty you have the audacity to break in here a slaughter innocent men"
"hehe innocent? that's a funny way of referring to sex traffickers" the man grew still as Floyd spoke "Azul was yapping about it the other day while he lectured me using the treaty in the hopes we'd take are eyes off you long enough an you creeps started to kidnap kids?" Floyd points an laughs at him the man growing angry pulls a gun out to shoot.
in that second there was a sound in the air though not of gunfire but of slashing then of screaming. "AAAAH Y-YOU SON OF BITCH AAAHGGG"
Berserker picks at his ear watching the man writhe on the ground "quit your shouting all i did was cut off your arm" Berserker kicked him in the gut causing him to slide an smash into a wall.
"hehe you know i was gonna come in here an kill you anyway all you did was put more fuel to the fire! hay hay berserker what's your name?"
"are you some sort of dumbass? you were literally holding onto my book!" Berserker shouts at him
"oh that thing i was just reading it to pass the time" he said with a carefree smile
"Edward Hyde!" Berserker shouts "don't you go forgetting now you got that!"
"Pufferfish!" Floyd says with glee as he steps on the bosses head intent on crushing it.
"you deaf or somethen! i said Hyde!"
"your so silly pufferfish!"
"Hyde!!!"
as they argued a shot was fired grazing Hyde's cheek "you're gonna regret that!" Hyde charged soon followed by Floyd after all he wanted to to tally there kill score by the end of this night.
-
that next morning was met with 4 hour lecture from Azul to Floyd an his new servant on how it may have seemed like a good idea at the time but charging in an making a mock of things is gonna suck for them in the long run.
"we killed all the witnesses what's the big deal?" Hyde said yawning
"That is not the issue here you were only just summoned what if a mage or someone from the church saw you!" Azul argued
"but they didn't! i didn't sense any familiars while we were having fun" Floyd said with a lazy smile clearly used to being scolded.
"annoying this is a pain I'm letting you deal with this boring stuff!" before Azul could ask who he meant Hyde's hair seemed to soften an fall flatter his eyes turned from red to green an his teeth became much less sharp "ah~" a noise that no one could imagine berserker to make the sigh sounded to soft for him "he always does this if he doesn't want to deal with something tedious he drops it on me what a troublesome fellow though i guess it's my fault he's like that i am the one who made him after all"
Jade's servant came out from hiding "that's impossible"
the man got up off his knees from where he was sitting wiping them off "oh Assassin? ah i guess this does feel a little confusing to you after all my normal rules there should only be one Assassin per team but you see Hyde an i are a special case" he said with a polite smile "sense Hyde so carelessly introduced himself it would only be polite of me to do the same Master, associate's of my master an fellow servants it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance i am Dr. Henry Jekyll"
after the room collectively picked there jaws off the floor they started asking questions.
"how come pufferfish turned into nurse shark?" Jekyll points at himself "funny way or referring to others you're calling me nurse shark master?"
"who else would i be talking about" Floyd pouts "where did pufferfish go?"
that caused a small chuckle to leave Jekyll's lips "not to worry master 'pufferfish' is still here with us he's just taking a back seat while i'm in control" a voice that only Jekyll can hear rings out in his head 'You think this is fucking funny! why do you get to have the cool nickname! that's not fair!!!'
Assassin spoke next "a duo servant? is that a thing?"
"i asked the counterforce the same thing but it assured me that it's not a unusual occurrence though rare very similar servants like myself are a thing though usually they are two separate people instead of one servant but considering my tale you could imagine why we can't exactly be separate can we?" Jekyll walks over to the table jade was sitting by "may i?" Jade nods an Jekyll sits across from him
"in this form you can hide your presence like Assassin but you have the strength of berserker" Azul grinned in a way that could be clearly read as 'we can use this'
"what an interesting team I'm apart of where are the other Master's an servants on this team of ours?" Jekyll asks rather curious as he started to make himself some tea.
"on patrol my caster is with them you'll meet them later this evening" Azul said now sitting back at his desk looking over his paperwork "you're free to go this time Floyd"
Floyd jumped up "haaaaay nurse shark lets play something fun come on" Jekyll looked at him quizzically "you were up all night surely your tired no shouldn't be resting?"
"I'm not in the mood for sleep" he was leaning hard on Jekyll's shoulders though Jekyll didn't budge from his spot "commmeee onnnnn Nurse shark play with me"
"Only after you get some rest not getting any sleep is bad for your mental an physical health" he simply said taking a sip of his tea an putting it on the table "i would have never thought to put truffle oil in tea very unique flavor" Jade smiled at that remark
"so if i got to sleep you'll play with me when i wake up?" he asked his arms flopped on Henry's chest Floyd pressing his cheek against a rather chill heroic spirit considering his circumstances. Jekyll took a deep breath before giving the answer he knew would make his master the happiest "yes"
what he did not anticipate was being lifted into the air an into his arms by said master. "hehe then lets take a nap!" Floyd now holding the heroic spirit bridal style down the a hall "Master this is unnecessary as a servant i can go into spirit form i do not require sleep like you-"
"whose your master!?" he says pouting again at him Henry could only aquite his attuid to a spoiled cat "you are but-"
"then i say we take the biggest nap together an we play a hole bunch when i wake up by then everyone else will be back an we will have way more friends to play with!" he could argue but his master seems much to happy about this so he won't crush his dreams besides one nap won't hurt will it?
To be Continued~ ?
