Problem with setting up vertical lines in booktabs tables

As pointed out here it is important to use
multicolumn{3}{|l|}{}
in the following line of multicolumn.
Nevertheless I am struggling around with the same issue (unconnected vertical lines) and can't find a solution for it:
Here is how far I got. Any ideas would be great.
usepackage{booktabs}
usepackage{multirow}
usepackage{makecell}
{renewcommand{arraystretch}{2}%
begin{table}
centering
begin{tabular}{@{}ll|cc@{}} toprule
multicolumn{2}{c|}{multirow{2}{*}{}} & multicolumn{2}{c}{Text} \
cmidrule(r){3-4}
multicolumn{2}{c|}{} & A & B\ midrule
multicolumn{1}{c|}{multirow{2}{*}{thead{Text1 and \ Text2}}} & C & thead{1\and 1}& 2 \
multicolumn{1}{c|}{} & D & 3 & thead{4\ and 4} \
bottomrule
end{tabular}
end{table}} quad

The line between Text1andText2 and C / D maybe should stay as it is.

The issue is not the same as the linked question. The gaps you see is because you are using vertical rules withbooktabs. Thebooktabsdocumentation emphasizes "Never, ever use vertical rules". If you replace thetoprule,bottomruleandmidrulebyhlinethe gaps will close. Better to remove the vertical rules, though.

please look at the documentation for booktabs, the package author makes it clear he thinks vertical rules are evil and by design the package makes them unusable

Booktabs sets a vertical padding above and below its rules. You can set this padding to 0, and enjoy the other functionalities. Anyway, with arraystretch set to 2, do you really need it? If necessary, you can replace it with the setcellgapes command from makecell. I took the opportunity to slightly simplify the code of your table, with the multirowthead command:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{booktabs}
usepackage{multirow}
usepackage{makecell}
begin{document}
begin{table}
renewcommand{arraystretch}{2}%
centering
aboverulesep = 0pt
belowrulesep = 0pt
begin{tabular}{@{}ll|cc@{}} toprule
multicolumn{2}{c|}{multirow{2}{*}{}} & multicolumn{2}{c}{Text} \
cmidrule(r){3-4}
multicolumn{2}{c|}{} & A & B\ midrule
multicolumn{1}{c|}{multirowthead{2}[-1ex]{Text1 and \ Text2}} & C & thead{1\and 1}& 2 \
multicolumn{1}{c|}{} & D & 3 & thead{4\ and 4} \
bottomrule

That is true. I my case it doesn't. But if other (also) wonder how to add horizontal spcae: {setlength{tabcolsep}{2em} TABLE }
– KLJ
Dec 5 at 12:01
That is not a good way, this evenly added space everywhere, not really what we want. Often we want space between columns. I have a tendency to introduce extra columns just for this.

booktabs. Thebooktabsdocumentation emphasizes "Never, ever use vertical rules". If you replace thetoprule,bottomruleandmidrulebyhlinethe gaps will close. Better to remove the vertical rules, though.– Phelype Oleinik
