Summary
It was when Merlin was peeking over the edge of his glass with a dumbstruck look on his face that Arthur finally saw him. The second their eyes met a cold shock ran through him, petrifying and powerful. He took the first breath he could remember since so long ago. It was like he had been splashed with water, finally waking from an uncanny dream. His eyes locked on blue and suddenly time made sense again.
Then those heavenly eyes continued their path, not hesitating for even a breath, and some part of Merlin broke.
Arthur didn’t recognize him. Of course he didn’t. This wasn’t the Arthur that he used to know. He was someone who was born into this modern life, growing and learning separately to Merlin.
There wasn’t anything that they shared together anymore.
That was when it was finally too much for him. Merlin had to get away. Fuck common sense, fuck destiny, fuck his lovesick heart, - he couldn’t do this. He couldn’t spend any more time looking at the eyes of a man that meant everything to him when they couldn’t find a single spark of familiarity.
