IDOM.
Rectify:
Arthur looked on as Merlin polished the boot in his hand. Something had seemed off about the boy for a few days. It was slightly unnerving to the prince. In the time Arthur had known him, Merlin was always so full of life, always had a smile waiting. Though he wouldn't admit it, he had been missing that smile. To see him so down….it was worrying. So he decided to rectify it. He sat down next to his fri- servant. "Something's been upsetting you, hasn't it?"
A short pause. Then, "Maybe."
It was a start. And that was enough.
Ok, an advertisement. I'm planing on do a series of one-shots centering on Will and Merlin in their childhood and teenage years. This leads me to a question: do you think Will is older or younger than Merlin? And by how many months and/or years? I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks for reading!
