Merlin has a bag beneath his bed that is always packed. Gaius thinks it is for if he had to flee the city, his magic discovered.

It isn't.

Some nights, there are too many ghosts and worries that keep Merlin awake. It is those nights Merlin takes his bag and walks out of the city.

It would be so easy, he thinks, staring at the road. So easy to just walk away and not look behind him. But he doesn't. He returns to his room to stare at his ceiling until morning. He stays.

The bag, however, always remains packed.
