Summary: Merlin's giving up on Arthur
Setting: AU to 5x07
A/N: Warning this is a bit OOC for Merlin, but aren't all Angsty stories? I was honestly pretty angry with a lot of things in season 5, one being that Merlin was TOO subservient. He took whatever insult, accusation, or order like a servant would. There was bromance in season 5, but Arthur and Merlin were more like King and servant rather than best friends. I was also pretty angry with 5x07 for Merlin getting accused so easily. I guess this is a result of that. Remember, check out my community: The Best of Merlin for novel quality Merlin fanfics.
Angst 2: Given Up
"Merlin…what are you doing?" Gaius questioned his ward in disbelief. Merlin quietly sauntered around the physician's chambers packing a bag full of clothes and books. Merlin's face was ghastly pale, his eyes sunken and dark with circles of sleeplessness. Merlin's once bright electric blue were dulled and misty. The cheery innocent smile was all but extinct in the man's face.
"I'm leaving Gaius,"
"Where ever too?"
"I don't know does it even matter anymore? My destiny is as good as dead Gaius. Arthur…he's changed…he's become like his father again. Camelot's rules bend for no one; you're only a servant Merlin, what do you know; I can't ignore the evidence Merlin. Don't you see Gaius? There's no hope. Not for Arthur, not for Albion, and most definitely not for Magic." Merlin snapped at his mentor, so many, many bottled emotions resurfacing like a gushing geyser.
"I know you're upset about the Queen throwing you in the dungeon Merlin, but you know she's under Morgana's enchantment. She cannot help it,"
"Ugh, don't even remind me Gaius. No one but you seemed to believe my innocence. The knights, who I was actually foolish enough to believe were my friends, threw me in the dungeon without even defending me. And then Arthur is only convinced I didn't kill him because of a bloody alibi! I'm not upset Gaius, I'm angry.
"No, I've had enough. Screw Arthur, screw destiny, and screw this god damn Kingdom. I'm leaving, and I promise I won't ever return!"
So, do I have any drabble requests?
