Summary
“Is just the new routine, okay?” Ilya pleaded, his voice breaking. “The pills were working and now there is more stress so I just need to get used to it and will be fixed, okay?”
“How bad is it?”
“Shane, please.”
“Ilya, you promised no more secrets, no more hiding. How bad?”
He covered his face in his palms, his elbows resting on his knees, and took in a shuddered breath. “...bad.”
OR

“Hello, little one!” Merlin used the same high-pitched voice that he usually used on babies and kittens. Arthur would never admit that he found it adorable. He lifted his hands to get a closer look at Arthur, who found it strange to be so close to his face. Merlin smiled at him and gently stroked his back with one long finger.
And so the day went by, with Merlin believing the King was off with his knights, and the knights believing he was in the armory with Merlin. No one would notice that their King was missing until dinner time, or even late evening depending on their schedules.
