The next day Gwen opened her eyes a little disoriented and feeling heavy. She groaned as she tried to adjust to the light. Her eyes hurt and she had a bad a bad headache. She realized she was in Arthur's room and in his bed. Memories of yesterday returned and tears began to fill her eyes again. She ursed wiping the stupid tears which refused to stop.
Suddenly she felt the arms around her tightening and she snuggled in wishing the tears to end. He had chose what he wanted. she was not going to cry. She shouldn't be crying yet she couldn't help it.
"Shh, its going to be alright."
"It hurts." She said softly. Her heart felt like it had vacated and on its place was a void.
"It will get better. I promise you." said Arthur gently kissing her forehead.
Gwen looked up at him into his blue eyes. He stared back intently at her as if taking her in and she blushed. "I must look a sight."
"A little." He said with a lopside grin and she hit him playfully on the chest. "You will be fine Guinevere. I will always be there for you."
"I know. thank you Arthur for everything."
"Hey no need to thank me. remember when you took care o me when I was drunk after Vivian dumped me?"
Gwen laughed. "How could I forget! You couldn't even walk! Merlin had to help me to carry you!"
"Not one of my best moments." Said Arthur with a grin. "So what should we do today?"
"I would like to stay in for a while. I don't think I can face the world just yet."
"So a day in it is."
"You don't have to stay in with me…"
"Hey, no saying that. I am going to be here to keep you company and feed you ice cream and chocolate." Said Arthur knowing it was her comfort food.

Gwen giggled as she watched a comedy with Arthur. instead of sitting on the couch, they were on the floor their backs leaning on the couch like they always did. Gwen's hair was up in a messy pony, dressed in a grey t-shirt and black sweatpants, sitting cross legged with a container of ice cream and a spoon in hand.
Arthur thought she looked really cute like that. He sighed wondering when he would ever get the courage to tell her how he felt. She turned to him as if sensing she was being watched and he had to force himself to look away from those warm brown eyes.
"What?"
"You look so cute like that." he said smiling and delighted in seeing her blush.
"Don't think flattering will let you worm your way into my ice cream Pendragon!"
"Wouldn't dare." said Arthur and Gwen giggled. Arthur was glad she was smiling again and he knew she would be ok. she had really loved Lancelot and he knew how that must have felt for her. He was going to be there for her but this time, no other man was going to ask her out before him. He was going to tell her how he felt and maybe soon.

"So Pizza or Chinese?"
"Arthur I cant eat any food. My stomach is full of Ice cream!"
"Which you refused to share."
"It was too good!" said Gwen with a pout and Arthur laughed rolling his eyes.
"Well I am hungry so I will get some pizza." He said getting up and going to the phone.
Gwen leaned back and sighed. She hadn't cried since this morning and truly she knew it was Arthur. He always managed to make her feel better even without trying which was one of the things she loved him. He didn't push her to talk, he knew what she liked and he didn't look at her with pity. He was just great. Morgana often wondered why they hadn't dated yet (just as she wondered why Morgana and Merlin weren't dating yet too).
Morgana was her best female friend from college. They had met first day as roommates and clicked immediately. It was great too since Arthur met Merlin so when she wanted girl talk, she went to Morgana.
Morgana had called her as soon as she texted her and they had planned a girls day out when Morgana returned from her work trip. She missed her friend a lot and was looking forward to the spa and shopping trip.
Gwen knew she would get over Lancelot. She loved him a lot but not as much as Arthur. it hurt a lot that he just left her, just like that as if she didn't matter. That was not right but well, she could move on to a better man meaning Arthur…she scoffed at that. she knew Arthur didn't feel that way about her but a girl can dream right?
"Ok, 10 minutes before I sink my teeth in my pizza."
"No mushroom I hope?"
"What is that? trying to steal my pizza?" asked Arthur laughing. Gwen hated mushrooms and pineapples on pizza.
Gwen pouted.
"Ok there are no mushrooms…or pineapples." He said and Gwen grinned.

"So did you tell your dad about Lance?" asked Arthur as they ate pizza. Well as Arthur ate.
"Are you crazy? Dad will pummel him."
"It's not like he doesn't deserve it."
"I know he deserves it but…" she sighs.
"You don't want anything to happen to him. You still love him."
"Well love judt doesn't go away. I mean I even thought we would get married (Arthur cringes at that). He was a great guy."
"Yeah but I still want to hit him."
Gwen smiled at that. "I know. that is why I love you. you are very protective and you care for me." said Gwen.
"Well I do love you." said Arthur and Gwen grinned. He knew she thought he loved her as a friend. he would rectify that soon.
There it is. Hope you enjoyed.
