(chorus) Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Arthur had been gone for months. 6 freakin' months. Yeah, he called every once in a couple of days and it will only take Arthur some other months to come back, but Merlin still missed him, a lot. But lately, he hadn't been getting the usual calls of Arthur and Merlin had a weird feeling, one between "Has he forgot about me?" and "I should call him".
"Maybe he is with someone else…" he thought feeling a jealous rage in the idea of Arthur with another person "Stop!". Merlin sighed, Arthur was just his friend, and he knew that that was impossible to change or if it did, it would be for worst. Like now.
And now, He was lying in bed remembering how they first met a few years ago. At first it was like pure hate between them, and it was until days later (when the teacher assigned them to do a work together) that they started talking and though they were different, they got along well.
He was about to get up and look for his earphones and distract himself a little when his cellphone rang. Merlin looked at the number. It was Arthur. He was about to decline but, how could he?
"hi?" he said "Hello, Merlin. I'm sorry I haven't called in the last couple of days, but I need you to go to the park near your house, ok?" Arthur told him. Merlin hesitated. Arthur sometimes had crazy ideas and some times Merlin had to blame himself for them in order to get Arthur out of problems with Uther. "Ok" he answered on the phone "but…" he was interrupted by a quickly thanks and goodbye from Arthur. "Whatever" he thought. Merlin got out of his house wondering what kind of plan the blond had thought of this time.
Outside, he noticed people selling heart-shaped balloons, chocolates boxes, teddy bears and roses. He had completely forgotten it was Valentines Day. He hurried up to the park, trying to avoid sellers and couples in the way. All he was able to see when he arrived was a bunch of guys with instruments. He was tempted to call Arthur again, until he heard the first notes of a song he and his friend like to hear with a voice he recognized quickly.
He came closer to the band as he watched amazed how Arthur was singing, "I miss you". He finished the song as he stepped closer to Merlin
-Did you like it?- he asked- This is why in the last week I wasn't able to call (or answer). I had to look for friends and a way to come. And to convince teacher this is for a project…
-Yeah! It was awesome- The black haired said, forgetting all about the has he-forgot-about-me thing he had thought about earlier – but, why did you do it?
- You know?, some people would take it as "Would be my valentine?"
Merlin's mind went blank as he blinked, not believing what Arthur just said. To be his valentine.
- Merlin? Are you ok?- Arthur wondered
Instead of answering Merlin crushed his lips with Arthur's. Rough and unexpected, it was the best both of them had ever tasted.
-Arthur?- he asked after breaking apart
-Yeah?
- I've missed you
- I've missed you too- he said- Wanna go for something? A Burger?
- I would like that- Merlin said, with a smile across his face as he took the other boy's hand and went down hill while the guy who helped Arthur cheered the couple
