I'm so sorry for the glitch guys! Hopefully this is better
xXx
Rupert is fucked, and not in the good way like a girl just had a rumble in the sheets with him, not even hanging out with his friends getting wasted, worse than forgetting his projects at home, worse than getting dumped. Yes Rupert was a dead man, quite literally by the look of the dog chasing him through the woods. All he wanted to do was to have a quiet hike like he does every day before he finished his report on Arthurian legend. Right Arthurian legend, which means this dog, is all Merlin's fault. Because Rupert is normal, no one noticed him except Merlin. His own mother forgot about him most days. Why Merlin took a liking to him he will never know.
"Don't kill me! Please! Good doggie!" It was a good thing Rupert was in shape but even he couldn't outrun this dog forever. Breaking through the tree line he tripped over a root and landed hard on the ground, opening his eyes he came face-to-face to a shape.
"Holy shit!" Rupert scurried up to his feet, "That's a body, oh my god! There's a dead person out here, oh god! Please don't let me be next!" Rupert leaned down to inspect the man, still staying far enough away.
"Merlin" The body mumbled and Rupert definitely did not let out a high shriek, there are no witnesses to say otherwise. Rupert is not a paranoid kind of person, but recently Merlin has been telling him to watch his back and wait! Rupert's train of thought derailed.
"Did you say Merlin? I know Merlin! He's my uncle." Rupert pulled out his phone ready to call Merlin, just his luck that he didn't have reception. Rupert made up his mind; he would bring the man back to his flat and call Merlin then.
"Alright then, up we go" Rupert grabbed the man's arms, when he hoisted the guy over a shoulder he almost collapsed with the weight, spend more time at the gym Rupert made a mental note
-Line Break-
After a few attempts and a lot of sweating later Rupert practically threw the man down on his couch, grabbing his phone he dialed Merlin's number.
ring, ring, ri- "Uh, Hello, this is Colin. Uh I guess leave a message and I'll get back to you- Rupert am I doing this right? I feel idiotic."
"Of course just..." beeeeep.
"Oh wow Colin, I can't believe you ignored my call. I hope it was because of something important, anyway-" Rupert looked down at his phone, it just got cut off.
"What the fuck?" Rupert sighed and sat down on the chair beside the couch. He really needed a drink, and his girlfriend. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes, letting out a deep sigh he settled into the chair.
-Line Break-
"Oh my god! Rupert!" The woman's shriek sounded throughout the room, Rupert immediately shot his head up, alert and ready to go.
"What the-" He couldn't move, he looked down and saw rope tied around him and a man with a kitchen knife swinging it back and forth between both him and the woman, his eyes wild.
"Mary! It's ok, don't call the cops ok!" Rupert looked at the man, "You said Merlin. I know Merlin." The man looked at him with wild eyes
"Ru, what is going on, Merlin is fake, a myth made up." Mary looked scared.
"Mary, look at me. Go to your sister's house and stay there until I call you ok, and Mare. Don't call the cops." Rupert watched her leave and he turned about to the man.
"Yeah, Merlin is my uncle. Well not really, He knew my very great grandfather. His name was Sir Leon. Yeah Merlin says I look like him, my name is Rupert." He nodded vigorously; the man lowered his knife, his eyes still wild.
"Hey mate, how about you untie me. Can you speak? I found you in the woods. I tried to call Merlin but he didn't answer."
"Merlin" The man whispered and came over and raised the knife.
"Don't kill me! I saved you man!" Rupert shut his eyes tight and his last thought was he was going to haunt the shit out of Merlin for this, then the ropes slackened, "Oh thank god." Rupert let out a long sigh.
"Where's Merlin." The man said hold the knife near his chest.
"He's in America, how about you give me that knife... Or not, it's good you can keep that one." Rupert stepped away, "What's your name mate?"
"Arthur"
"As in Arthur Pendragon, the once and future king?! Oh my god! You came back! I knew you would, you have no idea how long Merlin has been trying to get to you, oh he's gonna be so hap- oof" In his excitement Rupert started walking around his apartment that he hasn't changed since he moved in there and ended up tripping over his toaster, "Uh, Arthur. Why is my toaster on the floor?"
"What is a toaster?" The man cocked his head to the side in confusion.
"Oh lord give me patience," He looked over Arthur, in ratty cloth, "We have a lot of work to do."
-Line Break-
"Yo, Colin. We are gonna hit up the bar down the street, you coming?" Dean questioned stepping into the other man's motel room.
"Sure, let me get ready." Colin smiled and stood up from the bed. In 5 minutes they were at the bar, Sam and Dean looking like they always do in their jeans and plaid, while Colin donned black skinny jeans and a deep blue and black plaid shirt, they fit him perfectly. His hair was perfectly styled to make it look like he just rolled out of bed. Dean let out a laugh.
"It's karaoke night!" Dean smiled at Sam, "your specialty" Sam just hit him upside the head before Dean put a hand on the back of his neck in a form of apology, squeezing then letting go.
When they were significantly drunk about 4 hours later, Dean had gone up and sung about 3 times and Sam went up once, they were now shoving Colin up there.
"Good man!" The announcer said when the boys shoved him up on stage, "Do you have a special someone out there just waiting for you on this special day of love?" Shit Valentine's Day, or as Dean likes to call it, Single Awareness Day aka Single Chicks Looking to get Boned Day.
"Yeah I like to think so man, but I don't know." Colin mumbled into the microphone, the announcer smiled.
"We have just the song for you." He handed the microphone over to Colin and went off the stage. The first lines of the song played, a piano being played in a slow rhythm. The words appeared on the screen and Merlin let his mind go on autopilot as he opened his mouth to sing.
"You say love is what you put into it You say that I'm losing my will Don't you know that you're all that I think about? You make up a half of the whole
You say that it's hard to commit to it You say that it's hard standing still Don't you know that I spend all my nights Counting backwards the days 'til I'm home?
If only New York wasn't so far away I promise the city won't get in our way When you're scared and alone, Just know that I'm already home
I say that we're right in the heart of it A love only we understand I will bend every light in this city And make sure they're shining on you
If only New York wasn't so far away I promise the city won't get in our way When you're scared and alone, Just know that I'm already home
When life takes its own course Sometimes we just don't get to choose I'd rather be there next to you Promise you'll wait for me, wait for me Wait 'til I'm home
All I have is this feeling inside of me The only thing I've ever known
If only New York wasn't so far away I promise the city won't get in our way When you're scared and alone, Just know that I'm already home
If only New York wasn't so far away I will be there every step of the way And when you're scared and alone, Just know that I'm already home Just know that I'm already home"
The bar burst into cheers, Colin looked at the screen. The song was over, the song that made the hole inside him just that little bit bigger, he fled off the stage and went outside.
"Colin, you ok man?" Sam asked him when he found him out there 5 minutes later
"Yeah, I think I'm gonna just walk to the motel though, I'm not feeling to good" Colin pushed himself off the wall that he was leaning against
"I can give you a ride, or Dean can" Sam pointed back to the bar.
"Nah, the air is good for me" Colin turned his back to Sam and waved him off as he started walking into the crisp air. The wind bit at his skin and blew through his hair making it lose its put together look. Colin of course knew the song that he sang in that bar. It's one of Rupert's favorites. The band's name was something about the world, Colin couldn't actually remember. But the songs name is Already Home. As Colin continued on his way back to the motel, he wondered if he sang that song to Mary this Valentine's Day
-Line Break-
In the week leading up to Valentine's Day Rupert had got dumped by Mary, committed felonies, dyed blonde hair to brown, came up with a fake name, taught a crash course of world history in 2 days, taught another crash course of technology in 1 day, and spent a lot of money. After dropping Arthur- now named Bradley- off at the airport Rupert went home and poured a glass of whiskey, turning his stereo on, Already Home by A Great Big World started blaring. Rupert enjoyed listening to the song while making breakfast and when Arthur first heard it he instantly fell in love with it, not listening to anything other than this song. Rupert sighed and switched it over to his jazz cd.
After everything that happened this week Rupert felt himself start to relax, whiskey and jazz will do that to you. He decided that he wouldn't go anywhere tonight, would just stay right here on his super comfy couch. This decision was true for about half an hour before he got a call, from the airport police. Apparently Bradley hadn't even gotten on his plane yet and was detained for almost knocking a guy out when he started to pat Bradley down.
"It's like he's never stepped foot in an airport." The head officer explained.
"He has always lived here in London and never travelled, Sir" Rupert sighed, "I'll be there is about 5 minutes." Hanging up he sighed again. Hadn't he done enough? Apparently not. He packed a weeklong bag and grabbed his passport and Merlin's extra credit card. If he had to fly to America it would be on Merlin's money. Finally taking care of Bradley at the airport the boarded the plane.
"Next stop, America." Rupert smiled and settled in for the long flight, as the plane went down the runway gathering speed Arthur gripped Rupert's arm, as the plane started to lift off the ground Arthur let out a shuddering breath
"What is happening?! Oh lord, what is this thing? Let me out!" Arthur went to go stand up but Rupert stopped him.
"You can't get out! We are flying in the air! You know, like a bird?!" Arthur sat back down eyes wide and breathing wild. Rupert sighed for the umpteenth time today and shook his head, looking over at Arthur he had one thought.
"This is going to be a long ass flight."

Does anyone know why it would glitch like that? Because I didn't use different fonts or anything so I'm just super confused. Thank you for letting me know, sorry I didn't see it earlier!
I hope you enjoyed this new addition to the story and reviews are always welcome! :)
