Merlin crossovers (short stories)

It had been three months later since -by now his boyfriend- found out about his regressed mind and let's just say he is as protective of him as the others. It warmed his heart actually and he was feeling really happy about this. But there had been times were everything got too much and so he ended up going to his hiding space.

Which he was right now as well. It was just a bit overwhelming sometimes. Merlin wasn't sure why he was feeling overwhelmed, but he was overwhelmed right now. The only ones who knew about his favorite hiding place were, Gwaine and Arthur. So he was right now rolled together and trying to hide himself from the entire world.

"Hey, come here."

He sniffed first and peeked out shuffling now into the arms of his boyfriend. It was just too much right now and too many people. Arms hugged him now and he buried his face into the male's chest.

"Everything is alright. How about we go to my place and just cuddle?"

He nodded and feeling himself soon picked up. This was one of the reasons he loved the male so much. Not even once he had pushed him away and he always looked after him. And that was something that made him feel at ease. They ended up cuddling into his bed and he snuggled into his warmth.

"You feel better now?"

Merlin peaked out and nodded but went back into his chest not wanting to deal with the outside world. Arthur made him feel safe and secure.

"I guess not, huh?"

He heard a chuckle, and this made him feel his cheeks heat up at this. Maybe he still wasn't feeling that better. By now Arthur could instantly tell his moods as well when he was still in his 'small space' even before him.

"We have time, my cute warlock."

Dang him with his nicknames. It just made him feel even more flustered and he hid even more into his chest.

"Arthur we- oh. Sorry for disturbing you but there have been some issues."

Issues? What issues and why wasn't Leon telling what issues it was? This just made him feel anxious.

"What issues? You don't need to hide this from Merlin."

He let out a sigh and with this, their cuddle time was cut short. Whenever there were some issues it always was like this. So that he left and sat up as looking at Leon with curious eyes.

"Sorry but I think it's better not for Merls to know."

This meant just one thing...it was something gruesome. And he let out a huff as he had seen his fair share of gruesome things.

"Leon just because I have a regressed mind doesn't mean that I haven't seen my fair share of bad things. Trust me I have."

Arthur knew this and that was why he wasn't hiding things like this from him. Leon let out a sigh and started to explain.

"The kidnapper has struck again. It was again a male."

His gut felt queasy and he wasn't sure what to do now. Someone was kidnapping people and they usually were males. The males each had the same hair color; black.

"Get Gwaine and you Merlin stay here."

He pouted at this but nodded as knowing when not to argue with the male. Not to mention that right now he was still in not entirely in his 'big space'. He watched the two leave and he was bored. This was way too boring for him.

Merlin come...

A female voice calling him. It sounded mysterious and like honey. His brows furrowed at this and he was confused.

I need help Merlin...

The same voice was in his mind so he decided to sneak out. After all, there was a female who needed help. It was rather easy and right now his mind was naive which he realized soon.

"Oh look at this he came. How naive."

A chuckle was heard, and he froze as seeing now Anastacia. Out of instinct, he stepped aside, and he felt his breath shudder now.

"Aww look at this he is scared."

His breath shuddered even more, and he felt his body shaking now. Before he could react, something hit him on his neck, and everything turned out black.

(A/N: I forgot what I wanted to do with this. Kidnapping so just think that they found later out that it was the second person with Anstacia who had kidnapped black-haired males. I did finish the 6th part so yeah XD I am a scatterbrain.)

---

Eyes slowly opened and he felt confused now. This was a different place and he was feeling his body tense up. This was a cell and he had something around his neck and as well one of his ankles was chained as well.

'What is this? Where is Arthy?'

A shiver went through him as he looked around and felt scared. This wasn't something that he liked, and he hated this. His mind couldn't even think straight as he was too scared.

'Em, can you send a magic impulse? We are trying to find you.'

That was the voice of Mordred and this made his body relax now slightly. At least people were searching for him. But the problem was that he had no idea how to do this, or at least not in his 'small space'.

'But how? Merlin dunno how, Mordy.'

Merlin could hope that the man would get his thoughts, but it seemed that he hadn't. So he felt helpless now.

'Alright, how about you try to concentrate on what you feel on the inside. Try to tug on it.'

Oh, so he had heard his thoughts. Thank god. So at least he could still communicate. He closed his eyes and did what Mordred wanted him to do and he tugged too hard so that the room shook.

'Oh, poop. That was too much.'

It was soon afterward that the door got opened and he ended up backing into the corner and making himself as small as possible.

"Hello little guy."

That voice was a male and sounded friendly. But he didn't like this and didn't trust him. Even when he was sounding friendly so that he shook his head.

"H-hi. Are y-you here to hurt Merlin?"

There was a pause and he heard the pair of footsteps walk up. When he peaked out, he saw two males. One with teal-colored hair and a slightly darker teal eye color and on the shoulder was a cat-like creature but in violet. At the end of the tail was a round reddish yet pinkish colored ball. Next to him was a guy with brown hair and brown eyes. The two both looked friendly, but he couldn't be sure.

"We are so sorry. My sister had a childish temper tantrum and decided to kidnap you. I can't apologize enough."

Eyes staring up at the two with a weary look. There was just no way that he could trust the two. Arthur after all always told him not to trust strangers. The cat-like creature was jumping down and nudging him.

"I am Jaden and this person next to me is my boyfriend Jesse. I am kind of his menservant."

Eyes turning towards Jaden who was now crouching down. The man looked at him in a friendly way and unlocked his chains.

"There."

This was confusing to him. Why was taking his chains off?

'Merlin got help. Two nice people are helping Merlin.'

He wasn't sure that they were kind, but they helped him. The cat-like animal was snuggling into him and he petted it with a small smile.

"How about we go upstairs and get you something to eat?"

His head turned towards Jesse now and still looking wearily. The male could harm him, and he wouldn't manage to do anything about it.

"Hey, I know that this is scary and all, but these two morons are not here to harm you. They are genuinely there to help you."

A new voice talked suddenly. It was a female and she sounded both exasperation and fondness. She looked like a female, but she had wings and was floating. Not to mention that she was transparent.

"Yubel really? I am genuinely trying to make him feel at ease."

Head turned back to Jaden and he had to look twice as the two started to bicker. His head turned back to Jesse but chuckled now.

"Let's just go. These two will continue to bicker for a while."

Merlin bit his lips and was still unsure but decided to go with the teal-haired male. It was clear that they were trying to make Merlin trust the two. So that he stood up, but not without picking up the animal and putting the cat on his shoulder.

"O-oh okay."

So, he followed the other male and looked around with curiousness yet caution knowing too well that this could be a trap.

"I once again apologize for my foolish sister. She caused some serious harm and I didn't think that she would do this."

His head turned now towards Jesse and he could tell that the male meant it. The cat snuggled into the side and he couldn't help but giggle as it tickled him.

"B-but why had Anastacia done this to Merlin?"

His head now as well titled as he showed his confusion. Jesse let out a sigh and looked more guilty.

"She didn't get what she wanted. Don't worry she got punished by father for causing this mess and we even will try and talk to your king. The letter should by now have arrived at Camelot."

Oh so they weren't involved in what Anastacia had done? Now he felt his body relaxed and he could feel another tug from his magic.

'Alright, good to hear. We just got a letter from the Crystal Kingdom. They apologized. We will head there and will be there in a week.'

Oh no. An entire week without anyone he knows. An entire week with strangers. This was making him even more stressed out.

"You alright?"

He wasn't sure what to feel and felt anxious now. This stranger was genuine and kind but how could he trust him?

'Oh and warn Prince Jesse or Jaden about your regressed mind. The prince and his manservant are known for being accepting like Arthur.'

Now he bit his lips as he knew that he could trust at least the two. So, he shook his head and played with the sleeves of his clothes.

"How about we head to one of the guest rooms and talk about it there?"

He nodded and followed Jesse but still feeling anxious. This wasn't what he liked, and he wasn't sure what to do with this all.

As they entered the door closed and he saw another cat-like creature but this time in pink, bigger, and as well something in the middle. It looked like a stone.

"Amethyst what did I tell you about entering the guest rooms?"

Eyes staring at the big cat. This was making him feel nervous and subconsciously hid behind Jesse.

"I was just following you, Jess."

What in Camelot's name was going on? In front of him was a freaking speaking cat?

"Holy this is awesome. Did that cat just talk?"

He stepped aside and looked at the animal with childish awe. By now he had forgotten entirely what he wanted to tell Jesse.

"Yeah, they are special creatures which I connected with me. I was chosen as their master, but I see them more as my family."

Oh, so that was why she talked. The smaller cat was by now jumping down and nestling itself into the cat-like creature.

"I can tell that you're different. Are you like us a magical being?"

The pink cat talked again, and he bit his lips. Mordred told him that he could trust Jesse and from what he could tell he was nice.

"Merlin is a warlock and Merlin has a second name Emrys."

Now the pink cat stared at him and he was fidgeting feeling nervous as well. There was as well Jesse who stared at him with wide eyes.

"Wow, the Emrys ended up in the hands of my sister. Jesus, you are lucky that she got stopped. Glad to see that she hadn't ended up doing some damage. I apologize deeply once more for her foolish behavior."

It was clear that his name was known but he hadn't expected that now even Jesse knew his other name. But he seemed to be trustable. He would have reacted differently. Not to mention that this male seemed like a genuinely good person. So, he gave him a bright smile.

"Don't worry about it. Merlin can tell that you are a good person. So, Merlin can trust you."

The person next to him stared at him and giving him a grin now and the pink cat was chuckling and looked softly at him.

"I was wondering that before why are you talking in the third person?"

This was something that made him feel nervous again. It wasn't usual and he knew this. So he bit his lips and played with his clothes sleeves.

"Merlin has an age regression. Sometimes I am like a ten-year-old. Like right now. It usually happens when I um am overwhelmed."

He could see the horror now on the expression of Jesse and that made him feel even more nervous. What would he say now? Would he end up getting yelled at.

"My bloody sister had messed up. I will make sure that she will get an earful from father. I can just hope that the king will accept our apology."

Ah, so that was why. His head tilted to the side and he hummed now. There was no way that Arthur wouldn't forgive them for something they had no idea what Anastacia had done.

"Arthy is kind and he will forgive you, but your sister is a different story. I can try to talk him out from executing her but can't promise anything."

Jesse smiled softly now at him and he felt now more at ease. That mess started after all with him not listening and now he felt awful.

"Oi, how dare you leave me. I had- did something happen?"

His head turned now toward Jaden and he couldn't help but feel confused. That question sounded concerning and he wasn't sure what to tell the male.

"You two argued again and I knew how long it would take for you to finally break up. And not really but he explained some things. My sister messed up badly."

The door was softly closed, and something came flying towards him and he barely managed to catch it.

"Kuri!"

What kind of animal is this? It's clearly not a normal animal and he felt magical properties from it.

"Um, h-hi?"

Was all he could tell and the brown fluffed ball -with wings- flew out of his hand and snuggled it into his hair. Expression blanked as he stared question now at Jesse.

"This here is the partner of Jay, Kuribo. Seems like he likes you."
The expression changed into understanding and he grinned now brightly. This was cool, and he couldn't help but feel a warmth bubble into him.

"So what did your moronic sister do this time?"

The tone in exasperation and he could see as well a concern. By now arms were folded together and waiting for an explanation.

"So, it isn't enough that she kidnapped the manservant of Arthur the king of Camelot, Merlin but as well a manservant who has age regression. Then there is the fact that he is Emrys the warlock we heard from the Druids."

His expression was the same horror and found himself in a sudden hug by Jaden. Why was he hugging him? It wasn't that he minded but he still found it strange.

"So sorry. I should have known when I felt your emotions that you were right now not really in your normal age."

Oh. So that was why. A soft smile came over him as he hugged back. He was pretty sure that he would like these two people.

"It's fine. And you can feel emotions?"

This ended up with the two in an exciting chatter. Soon he started to get back to his 'big space'. At least he was sure that he could trust the two.
