A/N: This chapter will show Leon's character more. I hope you like it!
Our conversation had stilled, and we had fallen into a companionable silence. One which I didn't really want to break as it was both comfortable and comforting.
As I looked around Gaius', memories of Merlin hit me and I couldn't help but giggle as I remembered how I kissed Merlin when he had come back from the dead and how he had reacted. He was so shocked!
I tried to stifle my giggle but Leon had noticed it and looked at me amused and slightly curious.
"I was remembering something..." I told him, smiling.
Leon looked even more curious and I knew that I would have to tell him. If only, for him not to think I was going insane.
"I remembered when I kissed Merlin!" I told him, my smile dropping from my face but a blush creeping on it instead.
"Really…?" Leon, asked me. Although, his tone conveyed his surprise and amusement, there was also something else in his tone that I had never heard before.
I nodded at him, and I started to tell him how it happened. However, I knew that he didn't need to know all of what happened as I didn't want to embarrass myself.
"I thought he was dead. I was happy he wasn't." I told him, elaborating.
Leon looked sceptical and I knew that he wanted to know more.
"I miss Merlin. I think I could have dealt with Arthur's death more if he was still here…" Leon admitted to me. He looked scared as if he had upset me but I wasn't.
If anything his honesty had opened a door for me. I knew that I could talk about Arthur and Merlin which felt like all the weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
"I do, too…" I admitted to him, "…but I don't know if I would hate or blame him for not being able to save Arthur."
I did miss Merlin but the thought that I would hate him for his actions in Arthur's death, terrified me. It would ruin our friendship forever and I didn't want that to happen.
Leon looked at me with pity, his eyes clouding over as if he was too remembering something.
As the look on his face past, I put my hand on his to comfort him as Leon's face looked full of sadness and hurt.
At his look, I remembered Mithian's words to me about Leon and at that moment I felt guilty that I had been so obsessed with my own hurt!
"You know you can always talk to me and I am always here…" I told him, and I knew that I was echoing Leon's words but I knew he needed to hear it from me.
Leon smiled at me, and I could see his relief.
"Only if you do the same to me…" He told me, sincerely.
At his words, I didn't feel as uncomfortable as I had thought I would and I decided that I would talk to him.
Leon's next words shocked me greatly as he asked me about King Ayden. I had believed that King Ayden had fooled him and Gaius but perhaps not!
"Has King Ayden done something to you or said something?" He asked me. His tone seemed normal but there was a hint of anger in his voice which I wasn't expecting.
I couldn't defend my feelings about King Ayden but they were so strong, I felt like I needed to.
"Well- He hasn't done anything and I've kind of been ignoring him since he asked me about you. The only reason I disliked him when he was talking to me was because he was impertinent!" I told him, seriously.
I knew that him calling me by my name wasn't a crime but it felt wrong to be addressed so informally.
Leon's eyes narrowed at this, and it wasn't long before he asked me how he was.
"He called me 'Guinevere'. I knew that I shouldn't be bothered but it felt like he was disrespecting me by not addressing me by my title." I told him.
