A/N:
Okay so this isn't the best chapter, certainly not action packed, but that comes next chapter... It's been awhile and I'm sorry. :(
But here is a chapter more about Arthurs jealousy, tell me what you think. I know I said stuff about how this was going to be strictly friendship, but if you guys want something more with Merlin and Arthur, tell me now before I proceed. Friendship or a little bit more? It wouldn't be too much but you will see. Anyways, try to enjoy.
————————————————————
Merlin was cleaning up Arthur's room when the King came in.
"Ah, Merlin!" The king said. "Just the man I wanted to see."
"You wanted to see me?"
"Well, yes, isn't that what I just said?" He exclaimed. "Well, enough cleaning. Get over here and take a seat."
Merlin hesitated, not sure what to do about Arthur's unusual behavior. But obeyed anyways. He slowly sat down in his seat. Arthur walked around the table and stood, leaning forward, palms resting on the table in front of Merlin.
"Is this an interrogation?" Merlin asked.
"No."
"Okay, what is it that you want?"
"I want to know what you know about Emrys."
The confident mask that Merlin had on shattered. What was left was fear.
"I thought you said this wasn't an interrogation!"
"Well, I lied."
Merlin scuffed. "And why do you think I, would know anything about this 'Emrys'.
"Because I know you Merlin, and I know when your hiding something."
"Took you long enough." Merlin mumbled.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
"Hm, tell me Merlin, truthfully, do you know Emrys?"
"No."
"Are you lying to me?"
"No!" Merlin yelled once more.
Arthur just stared at him. If he really paid attention to the man in front of him, then he would have see perspiration forming just about the brow. He would see the small twitch of his eye.
"Your a terrible liar."
"I'm not lying!"
"Go! Your dismissed."
"You can't just dismiss me every time I make you upset!"
"I can't?" Arthur said, his anger was boiling up inside him. "Well last time I checked, I'm the bloody king!"
Merlin's eyes shot open wide. He had never seen Arthur so angry.
"There's something else, isn't there?" Merlin asked.
Arthur turned his back on Merlin as the warlock stood up.
"Something else is bothering you, that's why your so angry."
"No, there's not. Leave Merlin."
"Does it have to do with... Gwaine?"
"I SAID LEAVE!" Arthur screamed as he turned back around. His face was an angry red.
Merlin's wide eyes moved down to Arthur's hand. It was on the hilt of his sword.
"Arthur..." He whispered, not taking his eyes off his hand.
