Arthur walked back to his chambers in a daze. He'd been in Gaius's rooms for the third day in a row, waiting for Merlin to wake up from the coma he'd suddenly fallen into, and when Merlin had started to show signs of coming into consciousness, Arthur felt a wave of joy flow through him. Merlin had opened his bewitching blue eyes, and Arthur had just about kissed him out of happiness, when Merlin opened his mouth and spoke those two devastating questions.
"Who are you?" Arthur had been shocked, but before he could reply, Merlin looked around the room, and confusion settled across his features. "Where am I? This isn't Ealdor."
Arthur had looked away from his beloved's face, and called out, "Gaius, come here, now. It's urgent."
Gaius had bustled into the room, his face lighting up when he saw that Merlin was awake. "Ah, finally, you're awake!" he'd said. "How are-"
Merlin interrupted him, saying, "Who are you?"
Gaius's face fell. "I'm Gaius," he said slowly. "Do you not remember me?"
Merlin shook his head. "No," he said.
"What's your last memory?" Gaius asked.
"I remember going to sleep in my home," replied Merlin. "My Mum was nervous about something. Then I woke up and I was here. Where am I?"
"You're in Camelot," said Arthur, when Gaius didn't answer. "Gaius is the Court Physician, and you're his ward. And I'm King Arthur of Camelot." With that, he got up. "Gaius, I'm sorry, I have to go," he said, and walked out.
When he got to his chambers, he closed and locked the door, and slumped down against it. His love didn't even remember him, he thought, as he felt his heart break. What was he supposed to do now?
Should I continue this? Keep in mind it wouldn't be updated regularly at all, because I'm juggling a lot of WIP's.
