Mordred's POV

Today was going to be the first day that Emrys and I could see each other in a while. I couldn't be happier, I've missed him so much. We've made plans to meet at a nearby river for a picnic. I was getting dressed to head that way. He told me that he wanted me to meet him there so he could have time to set everything up. I was going to show up just a little earlier to surprise him with some flowers. It was girly, but I knew he'd appreciate them.

A little while later I was making my way to the river, but when I got there no one was there. I know I had the right spot. Maybe he got caught up with Arthur or Gaius?

Emrys? Where are you?

No answer. What was going on? Was he ignoring me? I felt my stomach twist at the thought of him ignoring me. It made me incredibly sad. I needed to find him.

"Gaius, have you seen Merlin?" I asked when I ran into him in the hall. He looked a little confused.

"He told me he was going to be with you today, sire."

"Well I was supposed to meet him at the river beyond the walls of Camelot, he wasn't there."

"Maybe check the kitchen. He might have forgotten to make something for you."

I nodded and thanked him before heading to the kitchen. My brain was going a mile a minute. I'm sure there was a reasonable explanation for it. There had to be, right?

I was approaching the kitchen when I saw the girl from the other day go inside, looking around before entering. I stopped and decided to wait for her to come back out. A few minutes passed and she didn't come back out, I figured she might be doing some chores. I walked to the door and opened it, walking inside. My heart fell to my stomach and it felt like somebody was punching me.

"Merlin?"

He had the girl pinned to the wall, kissing her. He stopped when I called his name and looked at me. He tried saying something, but I could only hear my heart beating loudly in my chest. Tears started down my face as I ran out of the kitchen and down the hall to my room. When I reached it, I slammed the door shut and locked it. I slide my back down the door and began to cry harder, feeling my heartbreak into a million pieces. Why would he do that to me? What did I do wrong?

Merlin's POV

I felt my heart break a little when I watched Mordred run away, but it stopped pretty quickly. I did feel bad about hurting him though, it wasn't my intention. I turned to Morgan and apologized before going after Mordred. I needed to at least say sorry to him.

I reached his door and tried to open it, but it was locked. I tried using an enchantment to try to open it. It didn't work, he must've spelled the door.

"Mordred, let me in please," I said while knocking. I didn't hear him say anything.

I know you are in there, Mordred. Open the door. I'm sorry.

I heard the lock click as it opened. I pushed it open and stepped inside. He was sitting at the foot of his bed on the ground, he was crying. I stood there awkwardly, not really sure why I came here in the first place. The damage was done, I couldn't fix it. I loved Morgan, I wanted to be with her.
