A/N: I need help! Give me prompts! (this is a continuation of the Gaius's-death idea)
Arthur was not an openly emotional man very often; there was something distinctly weak (he felt) about sharing thoughts… The exception being Merlin. Because despite claims to the contrary, Merlin was brave and bold. Not a girl.
Therefore, Arthur went down the stairs.
He went into the physician's chambers.
Hearing the soft crying, he went into Merlin's room and sat at the foot of the bed, and waited to be needed.
And when Merlin finally looked up at him through red, pained eyes, Arthur simply offered a small smile and said, "I don't want you to feel that you're alone."
