Summary: “Merlin! Where have you been?” Arthur, oh god it was Arthur, charged down the hall at him, looking every bit the young king Merlin had watched die so many lifetimes ago. His hair fell shaggy across his forehead, his eyes were flashing with confusion and frustration, and Merlin was pretty sure his heart was going to explode. Arthur reached him and stopped dead, as if he was finally seeing him, and looked him up and down. “What are you wearing, Merlin? And why are you smiling at me like that?”
Author's notes: Extra special thanks to my beta and cheerleader janescott! This story definitely wouldn't exist without her help. Second thanks go to our team of amazing cheerleaders, etharei, xsilverdreamsx and bookgazing, who pulled me out of numerous holes to get to the end of this. Thank you all!
And of course, thank you to dylan_mx for creating the lovely art to go along with my story. I love it!
Title is paraphrased from "King and Lionheart" by Of Monsters and Men
