A King And A Barista- Coffeeshop AU (of sorts.)-
Arthur had always known he was different, since he was a small child, every night he would have dreams filled with tall trees and bandits. Kings and sorcerers. But, it wasn't until he was a teenager that one dream changed his life forever. One might not believe what dreams tell you, but Arthur always had.
A woman dressed in a purple dress came to him and showed him a life he had once lived before, as a king, a long time ago. And suddenly, after that dream, everything made sense. Why he always felt different, why he was assumed to be older than he was; he had lived a whole life already. The woman in purple told him one more thing, however; that he had to find someone, someone named Merlin.
Merlin, Arthur had dreamed of him before, in these dreams Merlin was a sorcerer and was always picking on Arthur. But for some reason, in these dreams, Arthur was always happy to see him nonetheless. As the years went on Arthur started remembering Merlin more. Not just as the boy who picked on him in his dreams, but the man who had done everything he could for Arthur.
As Arthur grew into an adult he started his searching. However, he had no idea where Merlin might be, it was a big world these days and he could be anywhere in it. By the time Arthur was 25 he had given up searching for Merlin and got a nice desk job right next door to a little coffee shop, just so he could get his fix each morning before work.
That's what Artur was doing on this particular morning, as he walked into the shop and got in line.
