Summary:
When Gaius retires, a new physician takes over, one that quickly kicks Merlin out of his room and takes it for himself, Arthur finds Merlin sleeping in the stables..and it's winter.
It's been long since I've read a sweet hurt/comfort FF and I forgot that it's actually a nice thing to read (when it's good written and not exaggerated).
And yeah, it was. You know these little stitches you feel in your chest when something hurts that you read? I had them and it was nice for once.
Basically, Arthur finds Merlin in the stables and lets him sleep in his bed. That continues on for weeks, even though Arthur agrees to find Merlin another place, since Merlin's scared that Arthur will find out about his magic.
And sometime's it's just ... too comfortable sleeping near Arthur.
