This moment came to its end in the form of Hold On To What You Believe. Merlin hated that he adored Mumford and sons. However they did it, they made him think of Arthur. Merlin threw his alarm at the wall, scaring his silky black cat. She lept down to defend her kittens who were snuggled in the bottom of his t-shirt drawer.
Merlin couldn't sleep again. The cd alarm kept going. Right through Babel to Bonfire hearts and into Timshel and time of our lives. All the songs that reminded him of Arthur. To be fair, the cd was a mix tape of all songs that reminded him of his king. But it made him upset and Gwen the cat was getting hungry. She swatted at Merlins nose to get him up. Merlin stroked her between her silky ears.
"Five more minutes!" He muttered.
He had to put some effort into shoving Gwen away, then rolled over to try and get back to sleep.
