63. I Won’t Give Up
A week before class starts, Arthur busts into Merlin’s room, looking all serious, resolute and maybe a little bit upset.
“I talked to my father.” He states matter of factly.
“Okay.” Merlin replies confused, waiting for him to continue.
“He said that neither him nor Susan mind if we’re dating, and, more importantly, that you already knew that.”
Okay, so the little bit part was quite off. Arthur was completely pissed off.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
She shrugs, looking anywhere but him.
“That’s not a very good answer, Merlin!” He sounds frustrated. “If you don’t want be with me, just come right out and say it alright? Don’t hide behind our parents.”
“I’m not hiding, it’s just…” Merlin trails off with a frustrated sigh. How could she explain it to him?
Arthur moves closer to her, pulling Merlin into his embrace; one arm around her waist, one hand cupping her face. He presses his forehead to hers.
“All you have to do is say a word, Merlin. Just say it and I’ll leave and never bother you again.” He whispers; breath tingling her skin. “But if I think there’s even the slightly chance for us… I’m not giving up. I’m not giving you up. Ever.”
His gaze is firm and sure, staring at her eyes expectant.
It would be easier if she ended things already. In this very moment. But Merlin can’t.
Her throat is completely closed; her voice doesn’t work. She doesn’t want Arthur to give up. She doesn’t want to give up.
Arthur smirks. “That’s what I thought.”
He kisses her tenderly; barely touching her lips and pulls away, smiling wide and open.
“See you tomorrow, Merlin.”
