At the Top of My Voice [I will Sing Your Praise]
“Why can't you just let this go already? Why can't you just let me go?”
“What are you even talking about?” Merlin asked, bewildered. He took a slight step forward, stopping when Arthur stepped back. “What do you mean by ‘let me go?’”
The prince sighed, his hands pressed against the wooden table, his back hunched. “We both know my father's words are right. I'm not… made to be a king, I’m not capable enough, strong enough, worthy enough.” He stopped and looked directly in Merlin’s eyes, his voice hollow and bare. “I don't deserve your praise. Or your belief. Just… let the version you believe I am… go. Because it’s not true, it'll never be true. And I don't want to falsely make you believe it ever will be.”
Merlin, his hands shaking and his heart seething, took another step closer, ignoring Arthur’s hesitation. When Arthur didn’t step away, he took another step, and then another, and then another before finally standing right in front of him.
His shaking hands met Arthur’s pale ones as he looked directly in his eyes and said, “I will always believe in you Arthur. There isn't a thing you could do that would change my mind. If I have to sing your praises, shout them to the heavens I will because, damnit Arthur, you deserve to feel loved and strong and worthy. You deserve to have all of that and more and I won't stand for you believing you don't.”
Or:
After Arthur and Uther get into a heated argument, the prince is resigned to the idea that he’ll never be good enough to be king.
Luckily, Merlin’s there to remind him of how fantastic of a person he is and how much he is truly loved.
I hope you liked it!
