Notes: Decided to have my own take on the sweet scene and make it..well, sweeter. Arthur's POV sort of. :)
You bite your lip, sealing away emotions behind piercing teeth, swallow any words of love that should cause tears to fall.
You clutch at your chest as you hear something shatter, feel it ache. You didn’t even say goodbye.
The whisper of your name replaces the sorrow of a friend’s departure with panic.
You point your blade at the source, only to be met with an unmistakable smile that glistens in the moonlight.
You sink to your knees. Merlin is here. Nestling your head in the dip of his neck, you hide the relief that sweeps over you.
And cry.
