Eleven Song Drabbles
Once again, THIS IS NOT MY FAULT!!! I blame silverindie80 . I was forced to do this!!!!
Eleven Song Drabbles.
Song - Everybody hurts, R.E.M
Arthur knew grown princes didn't cry, he knew he shouldn’t cry but the tears were like rivers, forcing through and covering his face as he fell to the ground.
Merlin was gone, disappeared into thin air like the sweetest summer dream.
Where he had gone was still a mystery and probably always would be.
Song: It's all your fault, Pink.
Arthur sat at the table of the casino, his eyes fixed on the young lad in the corner. The guy was gorgeous, his ruffled black hair covered the right half of his face and his clothes fitted tightly to his skinny body.
Suddenly the guy walked over and whispered into Arthur’s ear, his breath hot on his cheek, "Hy."
Arthur swallowed and replied, "Hy."
Song: Fly on the wall, Miley Cyrus.
Arthur wanted to follow Merlin everywhere, he wanted to know what he laughed about with Gwen and he wanted to know if he flirted with other men.
Some might of said he was obsessed, others that he was simply in love.
Song: Smile, Lily Allen.
Merlin didn't stop crying for a month after Arthur dumped him for that tart. Sophia from next door. He'd met her at some swimming pool - the one day Merlin had been I'll after he got food poisoning!
Now Arthur was always begging him to take him back, nearly crying. Of all the things, no lies, Arthur told him one was especially funny.
Arthur claimed he loved Merlin. Funny way of showing it. Not that Merlin cared, he had Lancelot now.
All this just made him smile.
Song: Missing, Evanescence.
When Merlin traded his life for Arthurs he hoped with all his heart that Arthur would not forget him.
Once he was gone would Arthur remember him as a pest or as a friend? Would Arthur understand that he had done all of this not to prove a point, but to prove that he loved him.
Nimueh didn't kill him - she did the exact opposite. She stopped Merlin from ever aging or dying; she forced him to see every single re-birth of Arthur and made him watch every death of Arthur.
She made him unable to save his love from all his deaths, from Mordred to his suicide. She made Merlin powerless.
Song: Nobody, Amy Studt.
Nobody cared about him, Merlin decided. Nobody would care if he jumped of this bridge straight into the cold, inviting water.
Gwen had Morgana, he didn't have any family left and Arthur was just cocky bastard who didn't care who he hurt. It had started off as a fling, a bit of fun but Merlin had never intended to fall in love.
A car quickly parked just metres away, Arthur, Morgana and Gwen got out swiftly.
"Merlin!" Gwen cried as she saw Merlin sitting on the wall of the bridge.
Arthur slowly came over, he muttered something about being sorry and that they should give it another chance.
"So what about it?" Arthur smiled putting his hand out for Merlin to hold.
Merlin smiled back and simply said a quiet "nah" before letting go and jumping...
Song: Why do I feel so sad, Alicia Keys.
Arthur knew Merlin would be back one day, when he was king and magic was allowed in Camelot again.
It could be months or years before he saw his idiot again, but he knew the moment he felt his lips again, when he held him tight in his arms, it would have been worth the wait.
Song: Head over feet, Alanis Morissette.
Everything Arthur did was perfect. From his walk to his hair. Arthur was the thing that filled Merlin's dreams.
Arthur filled Merlin's head every second of the day, he was the reason Merlin got up in the morning.
"God Merlin!" Gwen giggled, "You really are head over feet in love!"
Song: Things I'll never say, Avril Lavigne.
Merlin stared in the mirror. Why the hell did Arthur Pendragon, the man he'd loved for nearly six years, want to go for dinner?
maybe he likes you, a little voice called hope whispered. Merlin grinned, had Arthur finally notice him?
At dinner Arthur looked every bit like a sex God. Merlin kept reminding himself to breathe.
"There is a special reason I asked to see you Merlin," Arthur started making Merlin's heart go dangerously fast, "Do you, em," The moment of truth, "I don't know how to ask," he took a deep breath, "Have Lancelot's number?"
Merlin nodded, wrote the number on a piece of paper and listened to Arthur babble on about how much he liked Lancelot. After about half an hour he made his excuses and left.
As soon as he got home he broke down in tears. It was never going to be him was it?
Song: Like a star, Corinne Bailey Rae.
Since Merlin had entered his life Arthur he had changed. Morgana knew how Merlin felt and she knew some day Arthur would realize he felt the same.
Till that day Merlin would continue following Arthur like a lost puppy.
Song: Should've said no, Taylor Swift.
Arthur knew he had to stay loyal to Merlin, he was his one chance of happiness - he had to make sure he didn't mess it up.
But surely, once wouldn't hurt? Merlin would never know. If only Arthur noticed Merlin sitting in the corner with Morgana, if only he had know Merlin had seen them kissing and them wondering off all over each other...
Maybe if Arthur had said no he would still have Merlin, but we'll never know.
