Eyes Open- Taylor Swift
Arthur felt their gazes everywhere he went.
The trustful watching of his people, the critical eye of his father, the stern judgment of the knights, the conniving, calculating gaze of the nobles.
It seemed every time he turned, every time he so much as sneezed, the entire Camelot was watching, judging him for it, waiting for him to slip up, waiting to condemn him.
Sometimes he reveled in it- the attention, the glory he received when he did something they approved, the cheers and adulation, the praise.
But when he failed, when he slipped and stumbled, he wished to be anyone besides the prince of Camelot. Because he could see their disapproval every time they passed by, feel the weight of their disappoint every time they looked at him.
He still had the scars from those times.
He felt as though as he could never close his eyes for fear of letting them down.
Make you feel my love- Adele
Morgana didn't think Merlin understood just what he meant to her. Every time she looked at him, she would see a blissful future unfolding in front of her, see a long, happy life filled with him.
Every time her gaze rested on him, her heart would skip a beat. She had always wondered what love felt like. Now she knew.
She would do anything for him, be anything for him, to make him understand, to make him feel her love.
She would give up her position in Uther's household if that's what it required, go live the life of a peasant on a farm if that was what Merlin needed.
She would live for him, make him happy. She thought she could.
Sometimes, when he looked at her, she thought he felt the same way.
At other times, she thought that it was the farthest thing from his mind.
And so that was why she pushed him away- because she had magic, and she was a danger, and she could never hurt him.
