So here's the last chapter. I hope you guys like it. Sorry about the late upload, I was busy yesterday and couldn't get to my laptop. So about this chapter, ITS THE MAKE UP PART! I wouldn't have a clue if this would ever happen in real life, nor do I have any experience in this field(Romance in general). Also I suck at writing Gwen so yeah... I would like to thank you guys for reading and Jason for editing this whole piece. Enjoy!

Merlin woke up the same as he usually did. It has been two weeks since Arthur had left the note. Merlin wasn't much better, in some ways worse than he was then. He didn't care how he looked now, he had a layer of stubble across his face, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He was also thinner, since Arthur broke up with him, he hasn't felt like eating.

Merlin gets up and takes a shower, as he comes out of the shower he dries his hair with a towel, and he doesn't even bother to comb his hair. He throws on some old wrinkly top and an old pair of Jeans. Merlin grabs his bag for afternoon classes and leaves his flat.

He stops at a coffee shop. Something he's been doing a lot lately, making coffee reminds him of Arthur. Merlin steps in the shop and orders a cup of coffee from the barista and exits the shop. He usually walks around town until class starts with coffee in hand. He notices all the people being happy and joyful. He hated seeing people so happy.

Merlin decided to look at the ground and hope that counting the cracks may keep his mind off of the happy people. It was a bad idea though.

Merlin felt the contents of his hot coffee land on his face. It started to burn, but he noticed a scream of pain from another person too.

"What the bloody hell were you thinking? Watch where you're going you…" the voice started to trail off.

Merlin looked up to see the person he just collided with. It was a face he never expected or wanted to see ever again. It was Arthur.

"Merlin?" Arthur asked.

"Hi Arthur…" Merlin said barely above a whisper as he stopped wiping the hot liquid off his jacket.

Merlin was surprised to see Arthur, and who he was linked arms with. It was a girl with dark skin. Her eyes were a dark brown and her hair matched. She had a soft smile on.

"Arthur are you going to introduce me to your friend?" The girl asked.

"Oh… Uh Gwen this is Merlin, Merlin this is Gwen" Arthur motioned to each of them accordingly.

Merlin nodded to Gwen, and she smiled back. After about a minute of awkward silence, Arthur broke it.

"So uh… We better be going then. Right Gwen?" Arthur said awkwardly.

Gwen nodded. Merlin, though had enough of this. If he didn't asked now, he would never know. He had to ask why.

"Why?" Merlin blurted out.

"Why what?" Gwen asked confused.

"Why did you leave me Arthur? I assume you're with her now?" Merlin asked tears brimming in his eyes.

"What is he talking about Arthur?" Gwen asked getting more and more confused by the minute.

"Merlin we had to. I did what was best for us. You wouldn't understand." Arthur said sternly.

"You never asked what I wanted. I could handle it. I would rather be with you than without you, and I don't care what the press would think of us! I've lived like this for years. All that mattered to me was that I had you!" Merlin yelled in anger.

"Merlin you would barely see me. I am inheriting a company, and I would have to work long nights. I couldn't put you through that!" Arthur retorted.

Gwen stood awkwardly watching the argument unfold still confused. Arthur turned to her and explained to her how Merlin and him dated for a year and a half.

"Oh" was all Gwen said.

"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you Gwen." Arthur said apologizing.

"It's fine. I really didn't feel this working out too well, and that bloke Lance sounded pretty nice." Gwen said trying to make the best out of a bad situation.

"I'll be leaving then Arthur." Gwen said and walked away.

"So…" was all Arthur said.

"Was she just some show to make you look better then? You didn't even love her!" Merlin said still angry.

"Look Merlin I did what was best for you-"

"NO YOU DIDN'T! YOU NEVER ASKED WHAT I WANTED!" Merlin started yelling.

"Merlin, calm down you're making a scene."

"LOOK AT ME ARTHUR! I'M A MESS! I'M NOT BETTER!" Merlin continued to yell.

Arthur stared at Merlin. He noticed all the changes in Merlin. He saw the tired eyes that Merlin had, and the stubble that circled his mouth and chin. Arthur then looked at Merlin's eyes. The once crystal blue eyes that were always filled with light, were now dull. Arthur realized he did this to Merlin. He remembered the promise that he told Merlin two weeks ago. He promised he would always, not matter what, love Merlin.

Arthur then wrapped his arms around Merlin. Merlin stiffened for a second before wrapping his arms around Arthur, returning the hug.

"I am so sorry. I didn't keep my promise." Arthur whispered to Merlin's ear.

"I thought you forgot" Merlin smirked as tears came running down his face.

"I just needed a little reminder"

Arthur then pulled Merlin into kiss. They stood there kissing for what felt like an eternity. They pulled back and stared into each other's eyes. Arthur could see the dullness in Merlin's eyes already fading.

"I promise I will never let this happen again" said Arthur.

"Okay" Merlin whispered back before going in for another kiss.

Thanks for reading! :)
