Summary: Arthur decided that he was done with feeling pathetic. No more backing down. If Merlin was going to reject him, he'd have to do it clearly and to his face, only then would he accept defeat and try to move on.
And if by some miracle Merlin didn't reject him? In that case, well… he'd cross that bridge when he came to it.

Alternatively, a reborn Arthur Pendragon faces his toughest challenge yet: telling Merlin how he feels.
