AN: I do not own the character of Merlin.
Lancelot was here again. He had come without a thought when Merlin had sent for him. He had come because his friend needed help. But now the battle was over. Merlin, Arthur and Camelot had won. Arthur was there, and Guinevere. Oh Guinvere, he hadn't changed in the time he'd been gone, and she was still just as kind and lovely as ever before. But she was Arthur's now. Then he remembered all the reasons why he left. But now, he was an official knight of Camelot, he couldn't leave after pledging his alligence. But Gwen...
What do I say? What do I do?
How will I ever hope to fare?
How can I stay so close to you
Knowing now that your place is
In another's embraces
In another man's care.
It was obvious how much she cared for him, and him for her. He made her happy, he didn't want to be in the way of that. Yet, he felt his very presence caused unease between them. Lancelot still loved her. He didn't know exactly why he put him self through the heartbreak of watching them together.
I should be gone far from this hell
Till not a trace of you survives
Yet I'll stay on, for I know well
Though you've left me behind you
One day troubles will find you
And when that day arrives
But Camelot needed him, and deep, he hoped, Gwen need him too. Morgana was still out there. If Camelot was ever attacked again he wanted to be there, to protect her. And if he honest with himself, he would admitt that he couldn't bear to be parted from her again.
I'll be there
For to me there's no sorrow
Worse to bear
Than a life lived apart
I'll be there
Come the mist on the morrow
I'll be there, by your side
And deep within your heart.
He hoped she would alwasy remember him fondly, for she was still His Lady. Merlin called him slightly mad, and maybe he was, loving a women who could never be his. The others poked fun at him from time to time, but it didn't matter.
I'll be there
Though I know that it's madness
Hard to lay bare
Stripped of pride, yet still proud
I'll be there
In the depths of my sadness
I'll be there ever steeled
Unyeilding and unbowed.
He would stay, because his heart told him to. But who was he kidding? Guinevere would never love him. But it didn't matter, because he loved her, and he always would. Not matter what. And if she needed him, he would be there. If she wanted something done, he would do it. He would lay down his happiness, his pride, and his life for her.
Is it me I'm decieving?
Mad or not, I'll stay true
I'll be there
Forever, he'd be there for her.
I'll be there, heaven speed me
By your side as you need me
I'll be there for you.
AN: Please review and tell be what you thought. I always feel bad for Lancelot. This is a song from The Pirate Queen called "I'll be There". I highly encourage you to listen it. When I heard it, I instantly thought of Lancelot. If some could a fanvid with this song of Lancelot and Guinevere, that would be amazing.
