A/N: Hi, guys. Ummm, okay. So, I worked all day, and now I have a nasty headache that Advil doesn't want to help. Irritating. Long day ahead of me tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure my mom said something about going to see Sherlock Holmes 2 after I get done. EXCITEMENT!
Okay, so this started being a drabble about Meghan, then it turned into an AU of the last one, then it became something based on a gif-set I saw on Tumblr a little while ago. Prompt doesn't really fit, but my list is getting kind of short as these things are starting to wind down. Enjoy!

91. King
He didn't care anymore. Whatever Arthur decided to do to him, it didn't matter. Merlin was tired of lurking around in the background, having to hide his magic in the shadows.
He was definitely being bold and reckless as he all but stomped into the King's chambers where Arthur was finishing his breakfast.
"Merlin! What the hell are you—?"
Without warning, Merlin's eyes flashed gold, and tiny flame appeared in his hand.
For the longest time, Arthur didn't speak, just stared.
Finally, he met Merlin's eye.
"It's you, isn't it? Who's been looking out for me?"
Merlin nodded. "Always."
Cheers!
