A/N: It's my shortest one yet

Best Friend: the one friend who is closest to you.

Gwaine triumphantly leads the knights of the round table to the nearest tavern. Well the knight plus Merlin.

All the work is done, for the day at least. It's their first opportunity to relax as friends.

Gwaine doesn't plan on just getting drunk though. Oh don't worry that is still high on his list of priorities, Gwaine is just going to get Merlin drunk enough to answer him truthfully. Not that Merlin can lie but he is very good at deflecting questions.

A few meads latter and Merlin doesn't mind answering any questions.

"So Merlin, who's your best friend?"

The knights lean in closer for the answer.

It must be Arthur; he's known Merlin the longest.

It's Lancealot; he knows Merlin's deepest secret.

Or it could be Gwaine; Gwaine after all would help Merlin with anything.

"Will" Merlin slurs. " It will always be Will"
