Moments, Thoughts and Shadows

by The Penultimate Ending

A music meme inspired by shuffled song lyrics. Each chapter is a thought or moment involving an established relationship between Arthur and Merlin from either POV in rough order hopefully making some sort of plot. Varying levels of fluff, smut and angst.

3. All I Saw Was A Pretty Blonde

Hello again! (I'm writing 'again' because I've assumed that you've read 'chapters' 1 and 2. If you haven't, I think you probably should!)

Well, third time lucky, hope you enjoy! Sorry for the shortness of the chapter, I have no excuses, but I promise the next one is longer! :D

'I looked in the mirror last night and all I saw was a pretty blonde'

Merlin padded softly into Arthur's chambers, preparing silently for the Prince's awakening. Catching sight of Arthur's sleeping face, relaxed and free from all the worries that plagued his waking hours made a smile lift Merlin's lips. For someone outwardly so arrogant, so sure of himself, he wondered how his Arthur, the realArthur, was so insecure. How could he look in the mirror and see so little? How could he not see the greatest King to ever live, waiting just under his skin? How could he not see the man that Merlin loved with all his heart?
