Hey guys! This is my first multi-chapter story in the Merlin fandom! So I'm really excited!

Warnings: depressed, and suicidal Merlin, and tons of fluff between him and Frey, as I ship them so hard.

I'm also aware that these chapters are really short, there more dabbles than anything.

Anyway! He's the first chapter

Merlin sighed as he closed the door behind him. He looked through the crowded classroom, desperately trying to find a quiet spot at the back of the room. No such luck. He finally set his books down on a somewhat quiet table and adjusted his sleeves, not wanting anyone to see the slowly fading scars that covered both of his arms. He was pulling out his notebook when someone plopped down into the seat next to him. He payed no attention to it, since he had no friends, even on the second month of school. But he was shocked when the person next to him started talking

"Hi, my name is Gawine. I noticed that you have no one to hang out with, so I was thinking that you could hang out with me."
Merlin was shocked when he finally registered that there was someone sitting next to him. He'd been at this school for three years, and this was the first time anyone had sat next to him because they wanted to. Gwaine seemed to realize that I really didn't know what to say. (It had been a long time since I had someone to talk to besides my mom.)

"What's your name?"

He asked pulling out her notebook as well and making herself more comfortable in his seat. Merlin then realized that he was actually serious about sitting with him.
"Merlin."

He murmured staring down at the only visible scar, the one that started in the middle of his left hand, then continued all the way up to the joint in his shoulder. The scar served as a visible reminder of how close he had come to dying.

"Well Merlin, would you like to sit with me and my friends at lunch? I'm sure that they won't mind you coming with me."
Gwaine asked him, just as the teacher came in, and silence fell. Not able to speak in fear in of getting in trouble, Merlin just nodded. The rest of the period passed quickly, and before Merlin new it Gwaine was looking at him expectantly, he then realized that he had said something.

"Sorry, what did you say, I wasn't' really paying attention."

Merlin asked, feeling horrible for not listening, he always tried to make other people happy, especially since he never seemed to be able to manage it himself.

"I was telling you the names of my friends, but since you weren't listening I'll tell you again."

Gwaine said smiling and hitting Merlin with her shoulder.
"First there's Percival. Only way to explain him is that he's really quite and loyal. I'll just let you figure out his personality by yourself. Next, Arthur. Arthur has a wicked sense of humor, well I guess that makes him and Percival, anything you say will be turned into a joke. Last there's Leon. He is extremely blunt, but sometimes he surprises us all and be caring, but it doesn't happen a lot."

By the time Gwaine had finished explaining his friends, they had reached the cafeteria. Gwaine finally shut up and lead Merlin to an empty table and sat down. Merlin sat down next to him and pulled out his sandwich box. Several second later the table around Gwaine and Merlin filled up. Merlin hated sitting in crowds, so he scooted a little close to Gwaine, the only person that he knew in the school, and watched his friends

"Hey guys."

Gwaine said smiling

"This is Merlin, my new friend.
