A/N: I thought the other story was rubbish, so I deleted it. But this one is for the feels*evil smirk*.

Sleep

Everything you've done I know now for me,for Camelot,for the kingdom you and me built,I wanted to say,something I've never told you before:... Thank you.

Arthur felt how his life leaked away. It was like he was tired,so,so tired. The hurt in his side had went numb. He wanted to close his eyes. Just let go and sleep. He felt the warm comfortable mists of death all around him,they wrapped themselves around him and he just wanted to slide away,let himself be covered by these white pillows of why shouldn't he? The battle was won forever. He would be able to see his parents again,he could really get to know his mother,Ygraine. Hd could meet Gwaine,but there was another thought,something important... MERLIN!

Yes,Merlin Emrys the greatest sorcerer ever to walk the earth,Gaius had said. His servant,his saviour,his adviser,his friend!

Merlin.

He couldn't go,Merlin would be alone,Merlin shouldn't be alone,he shouldn't hide anymore, he should just be allowed to be himself,

Merlin.

Far away, he could hear someone cry"I can't lose him he's my friend!"

Merlin.

Arthur felt like finally falling into a warm be after a very long and exhausting day. And it felt good.

He drifted away,slowly. Fog being everywhere around him. And he searched, with his eyes closed. Sometimes there appeared silhouettes,but they stayed silhouettes and they also disappeared where fast. And then he found. His mother and his father. Sleeping,hand in hand and between them was enough room for one person. Their child.

Arthur.

He laid himself between them,crawling himself like a child in its mother's arms.

Arthur.

He slept,but it wasn't right,because,there was always someone missing.

Merlin.

And Arthur dreamt. The dreams were like the silhouettes. You forgot about them as soon as the passed by. But in them there was always one constant person.

Merlin.

And then he began to wake,slowly gliding upwards,if that even existed there. Because someone called

Arthur.

Merlin.
