Merlin sniffed and swallowed hard looking at him. He knew this was it, the last time, he’d ever see him. He had been there when he moved away from home, had accompanied him on many crazy endeavours, they had so much fun together and he had been his best friend all the time, never letting him down. Merlin knew it was time to let go, he was thankful for the time they’d had together but he needed to move on.

“Come on, Merlin.” Arthur gently put his hand on Merlin’s shoulder. “It’s time, hand the man the keys.”

Nodding, Merlin let go of the key ring that had accompanied him for the past fifteen years and with tears in his eyes he watched, as the man’s face lit up and he drove his beloved car away.

“Okay, make fun of me. I know it’s just a car, an old clonker, but The Knight was my best friend for so long…” Merlin sniffed again, knowing he was being silly.

“I’ll do that later.” Arthur smiled. “Come on,” he said again. “Time to make a new friend.” He steered Merlin over to the garage, opening the door with an electronic device and presented Merlin with his brand new shiny red sports car.



(We might find out if Merlin likes his new car next week…)

That was adorable! Time for a road trip.

Not sure if a red sports car is a Merlin-thing, though. They might have fun taking it for a ride :D

Poor Merlin! No matter how nice the new car, it's hard to let go of an old friend :)

*nods* He feels as if he just said goodbye to a part of his life.

Merlin will be smooched by Arthur in a red sports car, yeah? (they are still porning it up yeah even as old fuddieduddies?)

Merlin will be smooched by Arthur. Not sure what will happen then :D

of course Merlin would love and name his old clunker. I have a feeling this sports car is more to Arthur's taste than Merlin's.

[bunnysworld.livejournal.com]

I think so, too. He might not be too delighted about it.

What an original idea! I'm sure Arthur can find a way to christen the new car and make Merlin love it! ;-)

We actually do find out in the next drabble :)
