Last chapter, I said that this takes place during the finale. No, I am not rewriting Arthur's death or anything.
Does that mean that this won't be terrible? No, it doesn't.
Disclaimer: I am only 48% sure that I don't own Merlin 100%.
Prompt: From me: Gaius had Merlin's favorite meal waiting for him. But what if he didn't come home?
Rating: T
Genre: Tragedy
Characters: Gaius
Time Frame: Post Season 5 Episode 13
Summary: Gaius won't accept that Merlin isn't coming home.
Let's Go On An Adventure
Gaius could not help it as his eyes lingered on the wooden bowl on the table. The food had long since gone cold after he had cooked the meal days ago. The lumps of vegetables in the thick stew were soggy and probably not edible, yet Gaius did not clear away the dish.
People have tried to get Gaius to clean up the mess. Even Queen Guinevere had wandered in, grieving and lost, and implored Gaius to let it go. Merlin wasn't going to come back to Camelot without Arthur.
Gaius wouldn't accept it. Merlin will come home.
Was this REALLY necessary? No. No it wasn't, I know.
