it had been awhile since billy had a moment to actually use any one of his powers and to actually have that moment made him almost overflow with excitement. he made his way to an alleyway, checking over his shoulder to make sure no one was around before he held out his hand and slowly opened it, a small flame appearing in the palm of his hand as a smile spread on his face.

           magic was something merlin lived & breathed. even in this world, he could feel the ebb & flow of it pulsing through him. even here, magic was still present & merlin was still the center point of it. so maybe it’s connection to it that has him catch the boy with his back to the world, huttled in an alleyway. it all seemed normal --- save for the flicker glow of flames that danced on the walls beside him. easily unnoticed by others, but caught by the young sorcerer. curious, he tip toed closer, peering around the boy’s shoulder & a smile tugging across his face.         ❛   you --- you use hands. sorry, thought i wouldn’t find anyone who didn’t flick around one of those sticks these days.   ❜        he let out an awkward chuckle before realizing the boy, who was clearly hiding merlin recognized that much, was bound to be startled by him.      ❛   oh. um ---   ❜      he held out his hand, fist closed.       ❛   bæl on bryne.   ❜       with a whisper of the ancient words, merlin’s eyes flashed gold for just a moment then as he uncurled his fist a flame, similar to the boy’s own, ignited in his palm. he glanced up at the other, smiling sheepishly.

“okay,” lily luna sat on the couch at the book shop, “have you heard of the HARRY POTTER books? bought the first one myself. did you like them at all? i kind of need opinions here— should i read them?”

             merlin, busying himself with books on arthurian legend in the book shop, glances over at the girl. he gives her a shrug.     ❛  i’ve --- heard of harry potter. not really the books so much so i can’t tell you if they’re good or not but . . . i��m sure the story’s good. if you read them, when you’re done, could --- i borrow them from you?  ❜

     new york city had proven to be better than stonefield albeit a little overwhelming. nowadays she’s lost in her thoughts more often than not. does merlin occupy a good chunk of those thoughts? of course. her only issue is that she’s a little short in the friend department and it’s not like she can talk to godric about merlin. she’s sipping on a smoothie that she nearly spits out at his question. “sorry?” no, she’s not jealous. it’s not like she’s been overthinking what they are or might be or whatever. and if he’d met someone else. that was fair. she was the one with a son in the future. “uh, well, you ask them out. on like a date? you can go out to dinner or a film or just coffee.” she smiles and hopes that he can’t tell something is wrong. “that’s when you usually get to know them better.”

                dates. dinner or coffee. didn’t he already do that with astoria? weren’t they doing that at this very moment? they did things together all the time --- maybe not explicitly dinner & coffee but other things & didn’t those things count just the same? maybe he could go for more flourished events with her . . . but was he really known to be some romantic type? ------ wait. he was brilliant with this. he was the coordinator for nearly everything gwen & arthur did. if he could set that up how hard was it to do it for himself?       ❛  alright . . . if, uh --- if i asked you on a date, hypothetically, um . . . what would you want to do? dinner or coffee? i mean, i like t’ think i already know you pretty well but if i were trying to court you we’d still have t’ go on dates, yeah? jus’ --- spend more time together.  ❜

            ❛  erm --- odd question but, uh --- jus’ sort of thought about it. thought i might ask ---  ❜     it’s not odd. nor is it something he just thought about. this is something he’s thought about before but he just --- well, he pushed it aside. it was foolish to think about but . . . they kiss now. strangely often. they spend so much time together that he thinks taking a bit of advice from godric for once might be helpful.      ❛  how’s courting someone work these days?  ❜

    “What on earth are you babbling on about?” The young witch raised her brows and huffed– waiting for him to respond, quickly she hoped.

          old spell book in hand, merlin was only trying to finally perfect a spell when he was interrupted. which --- made him jump at first, honestly. he knew this was a different world, one where he wouldn’t be executed at the sight of doing magic, but he still tried to do it quietly or in private & away from strangers. once he relaxed, though, his face set into a frown.    ❛  ‘s not babble. i’m doing magic . . .  ❜

“Merlin, I knew that my dissaperation needed work when it came to getting my landing right but I didn’t think it was this bad. Do you reckon my parents can still receive my letters if I try to let them know I’m okay? My mom’s a bit of a worrier. Come to think of it my dad can be a little as well…”

           ❛  i dunno. i mean --- about anythin’ you just said. i don’t know what dissaperation is. really, i don’t know why you’re telling me all this . . . or how you know me. guess there are a few people who know me in this town that i haven’t met yet, though. ------ unless . . . you were using merlin as an exasperation . . . weren’t you? right . . . really not sure i’ll ever be used to that, sorry.  ❜

would you mind astoria being romantically involved with someone that isn't you?

             ❛  no. i mean --- i don’t really see how i’ve a say in it at all. an’ ‘m not --- we’re not romantically involved right now. why would i ------ even if i were . . . romantically interested in astoria . . . she’s got loads of better choices than me, ‘m sure. someone who’s from this century for one. --- look. ‘s not like i’ve got any charge over who she chooses t’ be with an’ who she chooses not t’ be with. ‘m just her friend. an’ ‘m happy bein’ her friend, if that’s what she wants from me . . .  i jus’ want her t’ be happy.  ❜

The question had Godric staring at Merlin with a look at disbelief on his features, gaze narrowing as he tried to work out if he was pulling his leg or not. “Yeah, all the times you went. I mean, you went into all the houses and I wasn’t even first.” It wasn’t that Godric cared that Merlin went to Hogwarts more times than he should have – they did become quite close – but to know that he didn’t go to Gryffindor straight away hurt the wizards feelings slightly. And his hand is running over his head as he studies the male, his grin falling back onto his features with ease as he decides Merlin was just messing with him. “So, who’s the pretty brunette? She wants to know about your time at Hogwarts.” Godric’s nudging his friend. “I do hope you’re courting her, because you don’t treat women how they get treated these days.”

             he went to school --- more than once? why? he supposed it couldn’t have done any harm & . . . well school was never a bad thing. not to mention there’s the idea he probably didn’t have much to do. he had to keep himself occupied somehow. but then that also raised another question: why did this man keep going to school with him? houses. merlin was told about houses. he was in slytherin, everyone he had met from the wizarding world told him that.     ❛  sorry.  ❜     he’s not sure what he’s apologizing for. the entire concept of the houses was never really explained to him but he says it anyway, a smile smile after it before his face falls again & he clears his throat. at the mention of a girl -- at the mention of courting !!! -- his face flushes quickly.     ❛  wh -- what? no, i’m not courting anyone right now. an’ --- she’s not the only one wantin’ t’ know about my time at hogwarts. i haven’t been there yet. t’ hogwarts, i mean. not in my time. ------ so i really don’t know who you are either, actually, you might want t’ start with that one.  ❜

          There’s a soft giggle from her and she pulls back to a safe friendly distance. “It’s fine! Really. Don’t let me stop you from talking. Like I do it all the time and it used to get me into trouble in school. And my sister’s friend once told me to talk less and smile more. So yeah!” She glances up at him and realizes that she’s the one doing that very thing. “And now I’m doing it. Sorry!”

             she pulls away & he can feel air rush in the space. something about the new distance is almost sad at the same time, though. he didn’t mind being so close. actually --- he didn’t mind it at all. he very nearly liked it. but, he won’t say anything because, well --- friends, right? friends don’t ask the other to come closer after they just kissed. friends didn’t do that. it was upsetting . . . but he’d rather them be friends than him make a mess of this. it was easier that way, wasn’t it? if you kept yourself at a safe distance then --- then things never hurt as bad. he grins, easily masking any of his straying thoughts.     ❛  ‘s alright !!! --- i like you talking. an’ smiling !!! sometimes you smile when you talk too. that’s the best, obviously.  ❜

the sentence cut off too soon, leaving damien confused. he glances over at the man, watching his facial movement. he almost wonders if he should have knew the man, by the way he looked at damien, he knew him. “ No, sorry. ” he pauses briefly “ Perhaps in another life. ” but he knows there wasn’t another life, he will only live this life.

              another life? that has merlin scoffing before looking the guy over. another life . . . he wonders if he was allowed to take that literally. he was told arthur would rise again, he was never told how or that he’d still be completely arthur.  --- it was worth hoping for, wasn’t it?   ❛  well if you were arthur it would be in another life. ------ sorry !!! ‘s just . . . you look like someone i used t’ know. jus’ like him, actually.   ❜

And the male would recognise that face anywhere – he’d seen it for enough years that he’d honestly be disappointed in himself if he didn’t recognise it. So the wizard is hurrying along, strong arms wrapping around the shorter male in a tight hug once he’s reached him. “Merlin!” The other’s name is said with such enthusiasm and warmth that it make it almost hard for Godric to let go over the elder male. “I’m glad you’re here – and don’t be mad. I might have told this girl who knows you that you were a pain in my ass at Hogwarts.”

             as famous as he’s come to learn he is  ( which is shockingly so )  merlin really wasn’t often recognized. mostly because people seemed to expect draping robes & a long white beard & a pointy hat rather than a scrawny clean shaven boy in a neckerchief. no one said merlin was good at living up to expectations. the fact that he’s hardly recognized, though, is something that makes being shouted at then enveloped in a large hug even more shocking for him. the hug is bone breaking & the only thing he could compare it to were the hugs percival gave when he got a little too overjoyed. but if this were percival it wouldn’t be so strange. if this were percival then merlin wouldn’t be about as confused as ever at strong arms clinging to him. he wants to say the man has him mistaken but --- he said his name. how many other merlins would there be in this town? the man must have known him.     ❛  he--hello.  ❜    merlin managed out with the air he had left from the hug. when he was let go, merlin stumbled to find his footing but when he regained it he looked up at the grinning fellow.     ❛  you --- knew me at hogwarts?  ❜      he’s heard of the school, of course. he’s even heard that he attends it !!! it’s how his immortality was riddled out. but to actually meet someone who knew him? it draws for curiosity merlin has had bubbling inside him for sometime now.

              sitting outside with her was, by far, his favorite activity. it was peaceful & he felt like he could breathe when safely outside of the magicless prison of the cream house. a deep breath fills his lungs & then is let out in a soothing exhale before he glances at her --- then to her hands. he doesn’t speak or even warn before the action, he only just reaches out quietly & lets his hand fold around her’s only to readjust & make it so their fingers lace together. yes. he thinks. this is a reason to live. a good one. he glances up now, from their hands to her eyes, a small smile on his face.     ❛  want t’ see some magic?  ❜
