The Rise of The King

Notes: This  is  entry  for  a Contest.  It's what I see  Arthur  coming  back  to the future  and  seeing Merlin again. Merlin is  still  young here.  It is  also  Merthur.
Declaimer:  I don't own Merlin
Pairing:  Arthur/Merlin



Merlin's POV



Years  have  gone  by when   I  mean years    I mean  many.  So  much that I  was starting to lose  count.   Even with years  I never did  age  since the  day  Arthur  left me.   What  do  I have  to say  for  myself? What  have I done  for everything  that  my life  seem to   count for  back then?     The Dragon  had said   Arthur was  the Once and Future  King and that he would   return  in the time  he  is  needed  again.   I vow   from that day I would  wait for him.    

Who would know that would take  years. That  royal  prat  always did  take  his time now didn't  he? He  always  did  make  me wait forever, he   did what he  wanted and  when he felt  like  doing it.   Much as  the prat  drove me mad he was  everything to me.

That everything was  taken  so   fast from me.   A   regret  I never  forgave  myself for. I  should have  tried harder to save him. Since when did I  ever listen to that   darn dragon.  For once I did   and  Arthur dies.  Why did I choose that time to  listen  to that  old  dragon?  I   spent     many  years     fighting  with myself  over that fact.  


This  year  is  2013,  fresh  new  year  to some that is.   I  guess we   made through that   end  of the world   theory  2012.  No  Zombies, no Apes  or   Zombies  apes  for that.  

I can ramble  on  forever now  couldn't  I?  That's  not why all of you  are here now is it?  You came  to hear about the  royal prat himself  coming  back. Aren't  you?    Did  say in the  title  that the King will rise now   won't  he?  Well  let's  just see shall we?

I made  my way  down  to the lake of  Avalon  where  we  should  find  Arthur himself.  Keep in mind he  will take his  time   in doing so.  The    dragon himself  said  he would  come when he  most needed.  How  could  one man  help  fix the many  problems  of this world? All the war and  hate in this world.  Someone  had to  least   give it all college  try now, am  I right?  

Let's   find  some  good  seats now shall we?      I  made    my way over the lake  side and took a seat  to wait. What  is  bit more  then? After all these  years of  waiting for him.


I could  just stare in that lake  for  rest of the world  for him.   Long as it took for him to come back.  So I could tell him how much he means to me. How much he always means to me.  Just one of my many  regrets.  Never  being  able to tell  him just how much I love him.  Right you heard  be  correctly.  I do love him always have.  It is  what    keeps me   waiting each and every day and  each and every  years  too.


Like  I always knew  he would take his  time. It was  close to midnight that night when I started to  notice the   water of the lake  move  as  someone was rising  from  the water.    At this  time I  stood  up to my  feet  waiting  for him to appear  before me.
 

I  could   only stare  as  I see the   familiar  head    rise  above the lake.    You see   watching this was  like watching a angel rise  in front of you.    All  I could  hear  was the pounding of  my heart  in my chest. He  had  finally  risen   like    what  was told to me  so many years  ago.  That moment was  here   at last.


I got   myself  down on my knees  as I bow  down to my king.  The Once and  Future  King himself.

I  didn't move  at all  till I  felt his  very hand  resting on my shoulder.    You  could look  up and see   Arthur  looking down at me.  Like he  had always had  so many years  ago.


"  I told you didn't have to do that anymore"  He tells me  with a  warm  chuckle.


"Yea  we  don't  want you get use to   that  kind  of   royal treatment now do we?" I   joke with   grin   spread across  my face.


" You  will never change will you Merlin?"Arthur asked me as he  pretty much pulled me to his  chest.


"No I won't" I state. " What   good  would it be if I did change? You would  just hate it".

"Shut  up Merlin"  Arthur  smirks  as he  pulled my head  closer  to his and  captured  my lips  in  kiss.  


I  really am  a sucker  for  romantic   ending like this?    Girlish   you say?  Well hell I love it! When the    hero  gets the   Prince Charming in the end  don't you?   Now  it  is time my  King and I had some time alone  if you know what I mean.
