Arthur turned to Merlin who lay fast asleep against him; his breath was slow and gentle, soft and calm.

Arthur didn’t have the heart to wake him; his gaze was fixed on the man’s face, calm and collected.

As the day lagged on Merlin woke to the sweet smell of pancakes, humming in delight, Merlin leisurely got out of bed and wondered into the kitchen to see Arthur cooking.

“Morning!” merlin cheerfully announced.

“Good Morning, my beautiful.” Arthur said with a fond smile, putting down the spatula, he turned around and gathered Merlin in this arms.

Merlin smiled tiredly and hugged back weakly. “Smell’s great…”

“That’s good to hear.” Arthur breathed, eyes closed, his chin against Merlin’s raven hair.
Moments passed and they ate.

“Merlin…” Arthur called in a grave tone, looking up at his lover as he ate.

“Mmmmmm…?” Merlin hummed, eating a mouthful of pancakes.

“I’m sorry to ask you, but when Gwaine died, how did you know that they…passed on?”  

Merlin gulped down his food, quiet and irritation rising.

“I got a call comforting it, I visited the scene when they were killed and I saw them being zipped up into a black bag, bloody.” Merlin said, his eyes cast away, distant.

Arthur reached forwards, holding his hand. “Sh…I’m sorry, you don’t have to say anymore.”

Merlin nodded and they spent the day cuddling on the sofa with a blanket.

“It was strange....” Arthur murmured. “I woke and your phone was ringing, I answered and it cut off…” He said thoughtfully, His hand stroking Merlin’s hair.

“Was there a number?” Merlin asked in a slurred tone, half awake.

“Was too tired to check, here’s your phone if you want to see…” Arthur said and Merlin took it as Arthur passed it to him.

Merlin looked through the recent numbers and soon one number caught his attention, making his eyes widen in shock and sit up, frowning in disbelief.

Arthur sat up, frowning. “Love?”

“It’s………Gwaine’s number….”
Merlin and Arthur enjoy a meal and questions are asked and a mystery unfolds.
