Don't Leave Me

Notes: Small Drabble. Its Arthur/Merlin. AUish, Gwaine in this story is Merlin's older brother. Warning character death.

Declaimer: I don't own Merlin

It wasn't fair. He didn't have to die. But he did all the same. To protect someone close to him. He was always there for his baby brother. Now he took one brave step, and gave his life up so his brother could live.

Now Merlin found himself in empty world. Feeling lost and alone. Gwaine was his older brother. Someone who he could always count on. Gwaine has always been there for him. Now Gwaine was gone. Merlin didn't know what he would do. All Merlin could do was sit there staring down at the fire. Tears forum in his deep sad blue eyes. Merlin then closes his eyes as tears leak from his eyes.

"Gwaine was good guy" Arthur speaks up. He sighs. Arthur moves next to Merlin. He pulls Merlin close in his arms. Arthur runs hand through Merlin's dark hair. " It will be okay Merlin" he whispers to Merlin.

Merlin stays still as he leans in Arthur's strong arms. " Don't let go…" he says quietly. Merlin keeps his eyes closed as he feel Arthur lay down with Merlin safely tucked in his arms.

Arthur places loving kiss on Merlin's forehead. " I won't ever leave you" he tells Merlin. " Gwaine always with you too" he says softly. Places loving kiss on Merlin's lips.
