Flip, I have "I'll Just Wait Here Then" stuck in my head. Great, get the unrequited love song stuck in your head when you are trying to post something romantic.

Disclaimer: I like to see the glass as half full; someday, I may just own Merlin.

Prompt: From me: Arthur tells Gwen the truth about his magic.

Rating: T

Genre: Angst/Romance

Characters: Arthur, Guinevere, mentions of Uther and Merlin

Time Frame: "Glass" series; Season 2

Summary: "Glass" series thing. Arthur, faced with the prospect of losing Gwen should his magic be discovered by Uther, tries to break it off with her. However, it won't be easy.

Let's Go On An Adventure

Some see the glass as half empty...

"I'm sorry, Guinevere, but I can't see you anymore."

Guinevere's smile faltered. "Is it something that I did?"

"No!" He quieted. "No, it isn't you."

Arthur suddenly pulled her lips against his own, and his magic reacted to the sudden surge of emotion in his heart.

"It's me."

Arthur couldn't bear to see his father blame her should he lose control again. He'd already lost Merlin.

He wasn't going to lose Guinevere, too.

...

But others see it as half full.

"It's us," she corrected.

Freya: I'll just wait here then, that's what I'll do. I'll just wait here, then. Wait here for you.

Yeah, I need to rewatch "Fan Fiction" (the 200th Supernatural episode). I've only been listening to those four songs...

*ahem back to this*

Anyway, that was Arthur's reveal to Gwen. In "Glass Shards" and "Shattering Glass," Arthur is shown to lose control when he has a powerful surge of emotion, whether it be grief, anger, or fear (yesterday's drabble). Even positive emotion, like love, is hard to control. He knew this and went against his heart in an attempt to keep Gwen safe. However, she doesn't want him to be alone.

*cries because the CW website doesn't have "Fan Fiction," so I'll have to watch it on Netflix later*
