Merlin (TV)
by SynthesisNexus
“Sorcerer,” the accusation came hoarsely from the king. Any other person might only have seen the fury and betrayal. Merlin, however, could see Arthur’s world all but shattering behind his eyes. It was like a knife to Merlin’s heart.“Yes,” Merlin confirmed in a voice much steadier than he felt.“You lied to me.”“Yes.”“You deceived me.”“Yes.”“You betrayed me.”“No.”Arthur’s brow furrowed in the beat of silence that followed.“No?” Something hardened behind Arthur’s eyes. The shattered pieces of Arthur were swept to the side, and the King took control. Arthur’s jaw tightened as he raised his chin. The blad was pressed harder into Merlin’s throat, breaking his skin. The iron scent of blood wafted into Merlin’s nose as he felt the steady but slow stream of something wet run down his throat. A ‘drip, drip, drip’ began echoing through Arthur’s chambers, and glancing down, Merlin saw his own lifeblood run along Arthur’s blade before being overtaken by gravity. “Enlighten me,” Arthur cruelly mocked.Or:Merlin finally confesses his magic to Arthur, and our boys has a lot of things to work out.
