The Reason is you, Guinevere

Summary: Alternate ending to 'Sweet Dreams,' (Lady Vivian) Arthur sings to Gwen, fluffy, one-shot. Possibly OOC?

Disclaimer: I don't own "Merlin" and I don't own the song "the reason" that's why this site is called fan fiction

Gwen entered her house and spotted a single red rose lying on the table. She jumped hearing a voice.

'I thought I'd better deliver it myself this time,'

Gwen turned to see Arthur Pendragon leaning against the wall watching her, she said nothing as he stepped forward, standing before her.

'I'm sorry for, what I must have put you through,'

'No,' Gwen found her voice 'You have nothing to apologise for, I too have caused my fair share of hurt,' she looked down slightly.

'You must understand,' he spoke again, sounding almost pleading 'that my ... feelings, for, Vivian, were not real,'

She looked up at his next words

'I've never loved another,' his words were sincere, 'I even, uh, well, just listen, please?' He actually blushed

Gwen nodded with a smile and Arthur reached to where he'd left a guitar by the wall, he started playing and then started singing softly, looking into her eyes. Gwen listened, mesmerized

'I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

and the reason is You[x3]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you'

He stopped singing and spoke 'and the reason is you, Guinevere,' he murmured

Gwen had tears in her eyes, she put a hand on the side of his face 'Oh, Arthur,' she whispered, her heart breaking knowing what she must say 'One day you will be king, and I cannot be your Queen,' she murmured, closing her eyes and feeling a tear slide down her face, Arthur took her face in his hands, wiping the tear away softly with his thumb.

'Gwen,' her eyes opened, meeting piercing blue 'things will change and if you,' he swallowed 'if you ever love another...' apparently he could not continue so tried again 'I will never love another.' he said softly 'One day, when I am king, if my feelings for you are reciprocated, you will be my wife, have faith Guinevere, have faith in us,'

Arthur used his hands to tilt her head up and lowered his lips to hers. The kiss was soft and filled with love; Arthur pulled away after a few long moments and dropped his hands, taking a step back.

'One day Guinevere,' he whispered, and then was gone. Leaving Gwen standing where he had released her

'I will wait for you,' she murmured as the door closed behind him, knowing he had heard her.

Okay so that's that, what did you think? Good, bad? Okay-ish? Do review and tell me. I was just listening to this song and thought of them, I wasn't happy either, when Arthur just left at the end of 'Sweet Dreams' but then again, I'm a big Arwen fan and don't much care for the legend, anyway enough of my babbling, thanks for reading and is a review too much to ask? The explanation is that Arthur was a prat and, well: see 'the dragon's call' and is going to change because of Gwen, the hurting her is the Vivian episode, so yeah...
