Let's Go On An Adventure
Arthur's heart nearly stopped. "No, Merlin, stay awake. Stay with me."
Merlin's eyes fluttered open just slightly. "You know... Arthur... you're pretty sucky at goodbyes."
"I'm not saying goodbye, you idiot," Arthur whispered. "I can't do this without you."
"Maybe." Merlin's fingers fumbled around his neckerchief. "I have somethin' to tell you... I'm a sorcerer... I have magic."
Arthur laughed. "I already know... and I forgive you."
Merlin smiled gratefully. "Thank you." He fell limp.
"No, no, Merlin!" Arthur hugged his friend, sobbing. "Come on you clotpole! Wake up!"
There was no answer.
-As if the show needed to end more painfully.
-More warped quotes; the return of "I forgive you."
-And nothing further to be said.
