“Time may twist us, and lives may break us… but I promise we will be together.” Merlin said convincingly.

“You can’t be —” Arthur protested.

Merlin interrupted him, trying to sway all doubt from his mind. “Arthur, I promise.”

“So… it’s time then.” Arthur weakly whispered.

“Yeah, I guess it is.” Merlin replied. His smile as weak as the words he just heard. Arthur closed his eyes, letting the final drops of blood leak from his wound.

“See you on the other side.” Arthur groaned before letting out his last breath.

“Not if I see you first.” Merlin whimpered and he lowered his king onto the oak floor. Merlin closed his eyes and waited, waited for the day that he too would step through the door and chase after Arthur once again.

I’ll see you soon.

“Hi! Hi, there… I’m, uh, I’m Bradley. We’re gonna be working on, uh, Merlin together.” Bradley awkwardly put his hands in his pants pockets, blushing. Something about Mer… Mer? Something about Colin seemed familiar.

“Right right! Well, I’m Colin. Nice to… Nice to meet you.” Colin gave Bradley his biggest smile. Something… something about him was familiar.

It’s been a while.

I’ve missed you.
