At least I don't have to work tonight. That would suck after just posting this.

Let's Go On An Adventure
"Come on, Merlin!" Arthur roped an arm around the warlock's shoulders. "Come on!"
Merlin collapsed. "I can't, Arthur. It's too late."
Arthur fell to his knees and pulled Merlin into his lap. "Don't be ridiculous, Merlin. Now get up!"
Merlin panted. "Arthur... Meeting you, being your friend... I've never been happier..."
Arthur slapped his face lightly. "No, now isn't the time to be saying your goodbyes, because you're going to live."
"Will I... get a day off... if I do?"
"Three."
Merlin's eyes closed. "Sorry, I'm gonna have t' decline."
-Merlin will never get his day off *sniff*
-Gaius told Arthur about Avalon, but he can't see it since he's not the one dying.
