A Happy Future
Disclaimer: I don't own the wonderful My Merlin trilogy.
"I hate my brother, Ryan. I didn't use to. But now... I have to hold back and he gets to do whatever pleases him." Matt closed his eyes, his body shaking with soft sobs. I touched his forearm.
"I'm conflicted, you know that." I whispered. "But I wouldn't mind if you stop holding back, because then I won't have to hold back either." His lips curved into a smile even through his tears.
"Promise me Ryan. Promise me you won't go to college with Vane."
"I have no plans to... He hasn't asked or anything."
"But he will."
I sat on his lap and his eyes widened. His expression softened. "I think I may be in love with you." I murmured. Matt gasped.
"Are you okay?" I asked him. He nodded, staring off into space. After a minute or so he blinked and his smile widened.
"I just had the most wonderful vision." He said.
"What was it?"
"We were getting married. It felt so real, so beautiful..." It could be. We both knew his visions came true.
I smiled. "I'd like that very much."
