Prologue

Arthur and Merlin had been best friends since they had met in preschool and had been joined at the hip all through their lives. They came from two different back grounds Arthur was rich and could do anything he wanted while Merlin was middle class and had to work for everything he had. Merlin was very smart he was practically a genius he was a senior in high school just like Arthur when he should have been only a Junior he was but he had a secret that only Arthur was privy to and had known since they were children and that was that Merlin had magic and he was very powerful. Merlin and Arthur were also both gay and they had only told each other of that fact which had shocked them both.

Merlin's seventeenth birthday was coming up in tomorrow but he was very sad about it and Arthur could not figure out why he also could not figure out why his best friends and the man he secretly loved was avoiding him and would not even talk to him for the last three days. Arthur had had enough so after school Arthur grabbed Merlin and dragged him to a secluded part of the school grounds and once they were alone started his interrogation "Merlin why the hell have you been avoiding me for the last three days, you won't answer my calls or texts, you see me walking towards you then you walk the other way until you lose me. What is going on did I do something wrong or what just tell me?" Arthur was close to tears when he had finished Merlin did not look Arthur in the eyes as tears spilled out of his own as he said "I'm leaving. My mother is sending me to live with my uncle Gaius in the England. We both know I can barely control my magic anymore and my uncle Gaius can help me. But I won't ever be coming back I also am going because I have already finished all course work here and they will send me my diploma in a few weeks I got a full scholarship to the best university in the county Camelot university no one has gotten a full scholarship there in over two decades. The reason I am avoiding you is because I know you ask to me stay and I can't and I also know that this separation will be equally cruel to both of us if stayed in contact. As time goes by we grow distant and I can't handle that so better just to say goodbye now and end it. It is the hardest thing I ever had to do because you are the only one other than my mother who knows of my magic, had stuck by me through the years, you been the only thing keeping me sane a lot of the time. You are the only one who knows I am gay I can't bear to lose you slowly because of this. So I am saying goodbye and ending it because it will be less painful for both of us that way and we can just move on with our lives. I don't want you to try and find me or get in contact with me but I hope that you can find someone to love and if ever get even passing glance of you and your happy then that will be enough for me. I hope everything works out for you so take of yourself Arthur Pendragon and know that you will always have place in my heart and I'll never forget you so goodbye." with tears streaming down his face Merlin turned and ran hearing Arthur calling out his name telling him to wait but Merlin did not stop and he did not turn back nor he hear Arthur's last words "Merlin no one else will replace you because I love you. I won't look for you but one day I know we will find each other again and I will wait for you. So goodbye for now and be safe My warlock."

The next day Arthur watched from afar as Merlin boarded the train that would take him all the way to England where his uncle lived. Merlin had not known that after graduation Arthur was moving to England himself so he knew their paths would cross again.
