Author's Note: Here's another one. This one features a three year old Arthur. The concept would not leave me alone. They're bound together by destiny after all. Just be aware that, as always, this is not meant to be slash. I just like to think they're connected. I hope everyone likes it! Also, on another note, I'm running out of drabble ideas, so suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Anyway, read and review!

Disclaimer: I do not now, nor will I ever, own Merlin.

Chapter 36: Connection

With a smile, Gaius watched the prince play. Arthur giggled. "What dat?"

"What Arthur?"

"Tickled. Warm." He touched his head, then his chest.

Gaius, becoming concerned, felt his forehead. "Do you feel sick?"

Arthur pouted. "No sick. Nice. Feel 'gain?"

Gaius thought it odd, but disregarded it as a child's imagination. "I don't know what it was. I'm afraid I can't help you."

Arthur looked upset, but accepted it and resumed playing.

However, it was at the exact moment that Arthur had felt the warmth that a newborn in Ealdor opened his eyes for the first time and cried out.
