Summary: A little drabble set within 1x11 and based on the end of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Present tense, Merlin's POV.
I dash forward, your name spilling from my lips, my heart in my throat, and the bastard is talking, but I have no time for him. The goblet may be empty, but treacherous poison lingers on your full soft lips. I lick into your mouth, find you painfully warm and welcoming. But I can taste the bitterness of your death, and I only hope that these few drops I steal from your breathless mouth are enough. A sob tears from me, clawing from my chest, and my throat closes. I do not know if it is fear or grief or death that chokes me, and I do not care. I feel my arms give way, and then I am collapsing into your chest, sunlight fading from my eyes as I succumb.
