Don't expect this from me again. Sometimes I forget.
Now something a little different from me. I haven't written anything really this Merthur before.
Title: Rise
Characters: Merlin, Arthur
Paring: Merthur
Word Count: 372
Summary: Merlin has another chance with Arthur.
The reason that he knew that he was back was the fact that Merlin wasn't an old man any more. The years of waiting had vanished and he rushed down to the lake as quickly as he could. It had been too long and even he started to give up hope that he would ever return.
The reason for his return was unknown to Merlin but he was just so happy to see him again when he walked out of the lake. Arthur wondered out and Merlin brought him into a hug. It confused Arthur when a car when passed and Merlin told him that he would explain everything. Merlin shook his head and started to wonder what to do as Arthur was in his armour.
They travelled around, looking for Gwen and the knights. They found them all but only a few remembered the lives that they had led before and those had new lives. It was just Merlin and Arthur. Merlin had made Arthur into a rather modern man. They settled in London as a base but still continued to travel around, nether of them being able to sit still for long. It seemed like everything had turned back to normal but it hadn't. They weren't servant and master but the best of friends as it should have been from the start.
But then again, maybe feelings that always had been there, started to emerge. Merlin had always told himself that he looked out for Arthur because it was his destiny. Maybe there was always something more to it then just bring about Albion. Maybe there was something deep down inside them both that they had pushed away because it was illegal in their time but it wasn't now. Merlin enjoyed it when Arthur pulled him closer to kiss him.
Merlin found out that he was very good with a camera and started to photograph Arthur at every opportunity. Arthur would tell him that he hated it but Merlin knew that he liked subtly posing for the photos he took. He knew that he would lose him again so at least he had to have something to remember the times they had together this time around.
