~Meanwhile in Camelot~

Merlin was doing his chores set to him from Arthur, he was doing them for as long as he could to avoid Arthur, which didn't work as well as he thought.

Arthur- Merlin!

Merlin heard Arthur shout for him. He groaned and stood up, he walked to Arthur's chambers.

Merlin- Yes sire 

Arthur- Come here

Merlin walked towards Arthur's desk and stopped about a meter away from the table.

Arthur- So Merlin why do you think I have asked you to come here?

Merlin- No idea sire.

Arthur- Merlin what have I told you to call me when we are alone?

Merlin- Clotpole?

Arthur- No Merlin, I asked you to call me Arthur

Merlin- Right, so why have you called me here for then?

Arthur- You have been avoiding me

Merlin- I don't know wha-

Arthur- Don't bother denying it Merlin you have been avoiding me and I want to know why

Merlin- I can't tell you

Arthur- Well why not?

Merlin- I just can't. You will hate me for it

Arthur- Please just tell me Merlin, I won't hate you.

Merlin- Can we just drop it. 

Arthur- Merlin I just want to know.

The door to Arthur's chambers opened and Morgana made her way towards the two boys. 

Morgana- Sorry for interrupting boys, but I couldn't help but overhear your little conversation, I could've ignored it but I know both of your secrets. 

Merlin- Please Morgana don't

Morgana- Merlin, he ought to know 

Arthur- I ought to know what?

Morgana- You both like each other and Merlin has magic, now I must take my leave.

Morgana walked away with a smirk on her face, feeling very proud of herself

Merlin was in shock, he couldn't believe Morgana had outed him like that but he was snapped out of his trance when Arthur stepped in front of him.

Arthur- Merlin is this true. 

Merlin- Yes it's true.

Arthur looked really happy at the fact that the person he's been in love with for the past two years likes him back. The two of them were talking about everything (including Merlin's magic) when Gwaine walked in 

Merlin- Gwaine what are you doing here?

Gwaine- Well I just saw Morgana walking away from here muttering about how you two are idiots and oblivious so I came to see what she was talking about. 

The three of them laughed. Gwaine left after a while promising to not tell their secret to anyone. Merlin went back to chores and Arthur watched him sometimes making what some might say as mean comments.
