Last day of 2016. Let's end it with a bang...or maybe not; I'd rather not get blown up. Instead, I present to you this drabble that I will probably name when I'm actually posting.

I have a new kitten, and I swear that she is Merlin in cat form. Their personalities are identical. My other cat, Rose, would logically be the alpha, but Annie doesn't care. No, she just hisses right back and is like, "Screw the rules."

Disclaimer: If I owned Merlin, would I have killed Gwaine off?

Prompt: From goodgirl275: Merlin get's drunk and Arthur takes him home. Merther if you feel up to slash.

Rating: K+

Genre: Friendship

Characters: Arthur, Merlin

Time Frame: It doesn't matter, does it? However, my vocabulary dictates that this occurs sometime in the same universe as "Excuses" (AKA, Drabble 5 if you need a refresher). Yeah, I totally had that planned out. Obviously. Did NOT just decide that they actually fit well together! I wrote this with "Excuses" in mind. Obviously.

Summary: Arthur can't find Merlin anywhere, so he goes to the tavern. And actually finds him there. Drunk. So he takes him home. Merthur if you squint just enough.

Let's Go On An Adventure

Arthur ducked his head in through the door (just out of habit). He was surprised to find his quarry here.

"Merlin?"

His manservant swiveled his head, eyes bloodshot. "And there he is! Arthur!"

"Gaius sent me looking for you," Arthur said gruffly as he roped an arm around Merlin's shoulders. "Let's get you home."

"I don' wanna," Merlin whined.

Arthur ignored him. "Come on."

They left the tavern. Some stared in bewilderment; it wasn't everyday that you saw Prince Arthur carrying his manservant.

Or maybe it was.

Arthur didn't care. That's what friends are for.

I also did not just scrap the original version of this drabble and rewrote it from scratch.

Someone help! I was talking about Merlin with my brother, and I started ranting about the "totally unnecessary death in the finale," and my brother randomly guessed Gwaine (his reasoning being that he wanted to say Gwen, but then he remembered that she is still alive by then, and Gwaine's name is so similar to hers). I wanted to strangle him (but I think I covered it up just enough).

And do you want to know what happened? This Christmas for my family alone, we ended up with 5 Xbox Ones, 6 TVs, a desktop computer, and a laptop. Yeah. People need to learn how to communicate gifts with one another. My brother owns two of the Xboxes alone. My step-dad owns two. I own one (lucky me). Then there are the TVs *laughs nervously*. I'm trying to convince my mom to just get another cable box so that I can use it (since no one else watches Supernatural, Game of Thrones, or Humans). So far, nothing.

So, what I'm getting at is, does anyone need an Xbox or a TV XD just kidding.
