Masterlist 81. Confrontation
Arthur follows the path he had seen Will take and catches sign of the boy shuffling through the contents of his locker.
“Will.” Arthur calls, but the other doesn’t acknowledge him. “Will.” He tries again, louder, firmer, but receives no answer. “William, stop being a prick and look at me. We need to talk.”
“I have nothing to say to you.” Will retorts coldly, trying to pass by Arthur.
“Good! Because I rather if I did the talking.” Arthur says matter-of-factly, grabbing Will’s arm to prevent him from leaving.
They are more or less the same height, but Arthur is obviously stronger and Will doubts he could struggle his way out of the other’s iron grip. He would have to listen to whatever Arthur had to say, because, if the adamant look on the blonde’s face was any indication, Arthur wouldn’t let him leave otherwise.
“Fine. Talk.” Will says begrudgingly; being rewarded with the release of his arm.
“I don’t like you.” Arthur starts in his best non-nonsense tone. “I never did and I sincerely doubt I ever will. I could care less if you never spoke to Merlin again; actually, I’d be glad if you never did, but this isn’t about me. Merlin loves you; you’re one of her closest friends. It pains her the way you’re ignoring her and obviously, I don’t want to see her hurting. So take your head out of your arse and talk to her. If you really like her, that is.”
After he finishes his little speech, Arthur stalks out, leaving a bewildered Will behind. His words were blunt and honest, but their hit their target. Will was feeling awful by the way he had been treating Merlin.
