A/N ~ I got a bit over excited when this was requested, since this is one of my favourite songs. Ha. You decide whether this is slash or friendly... Either way, I'm the polar opposite of a slasher, so take that into consideration if this is a load of rubbish.

Ship: Merlin/Arthur

Song: The Light Behind Your Eyes ~ My Chemical Romance

Suggested By: RavenclawMerlinFan

Merlin sighed. So long to all his friends. Every one of them met tragic ends. Guinevere, left alone, alive but barely breathing; Morgana, spirit dead long ago; and Arthur... Arthur. He couldn't think about Arthur. With every passing day, he'd be lying if he didn't say he missed them all tonight. And if they only knew what he could say. So sorry, so regretful, his whole destiny... When it came down to it, he couldn't save Arthur. If he could only see Arthur once more... He'd stop himself, never let them take the light from his eyes.

And as they would fade in the dark, to him, they would always be burning bright.

He needed to be strong. They'd say goodbye today. And everyone was sorry it had to end that way. And if he could be with him today, he'd sing him to sleep, never let them take the light from behind his eyes. Never let him fade in the dark. To Merlin, they would always burn so bright. The light behind his eyes... Sometimes they must grow stronger, and you can't be stronger in the dark. Arthur is here no longer, but Merlin has to stay stronger. Remember to always burn bright.

And if Arthur was here tonight... He'd sing him to sleep, never let them take the light from his eyes.

Because when it came down to it, Merlin failed. He lost the fight.

A/N ~ This was probably AWFUL but keep reading.
