Merthur/Merlin one shot

What if not just Merlin but Arthur had magic as well?

Arthur always had magic, and it was like breathing to him. Soon he found out that there are two kind of people with magic. One which have to practice to get stronger and the other ones were the ones who were born with it.

And guess what? He was the second one, a warlock. It was for him like breathing and not even Uther knew about it. No one knew and he would try everything he could to hide this. And so far no one had found out, and he really wanted this secret to be kept until he would die or until Uther would not be king anymore.

The first thing he would do is to change the stupid law of no magic is allowed. Magic wasn't evil and he could never agree with Uther. He let out a frustrated sigh wanted to use magic. It was in his blood and it wasn't fair that Uther was punishing all sorcerer and warlocks, for one person. And this person had warned his father. How did he know this? Well, he found the sorcerer and talked to her. She told him her story and got was he furious at his father.  But he never told him that he knew. Knowing his father, he would just think that he got bewitched and maybe end up in the dungeons. 

(A/N Was tempted to write he would yeet this law out of the window, but that is a word he would not know XD)

Right now he was alone with Uther. His manservant, Merlin who usually was with him, was right now doing the work he gave him.

"I want you to go alone to hunt. You can take Merlin with you when you want to."

Why was it always that he had to go alone? Like he could end up, Idk dead maybe, or maybe ambushed by bandits. Every time he had to go alone when hunting. And every time Merlin and he were ambushed. He would this time take Gwaine with him. He couldn't go alone. He had enough with his father. Sometimes he really wished that this prat would be dead. The risk of him dying was too high or worse Merlin dying. Arthur could never forgive himself when he would die.  By now he was good friends with him, even when he was his manservant. He was a good person and he enjoyed his company even when he can be a bit annoying.

"Understood father."

With this he turned around and going to Gwaine first. He had to rant on him first before they go. Because hew as slowly losing it with his father. This person kills innocent people, and god had Arthur enough. This person was such stick grieved with hatred to magic, that he doesn't even realize what he did was wrong. He told Gwaine to get ready for hunting and then Merlin.

They were right now walking around the forest and all three were talking. Him and Merlin sometimes bickered and Gwaine was amused at them. A snapping sound was heard. Which made him put his hand up, to signalize that they should be quiet. Both of the other male's stopped and were now like him on high alert.

Not too soon later all hell broke loose and a bandit group started to attacking. He cursed under his breath as he pulled out his sword and both Gwaine and Merlin copied him. He started to parry and halfway through he was noticing that a knife was getting thrown at him. As an instant he used magic, his eyes turned into a golden shade like always. At the same time he looked at Merlin who now had the same eye color. They both stared at each other and when the gold was done, they said at the same time...

"Okay I can explain.."

Merlin the one he trusted the most has magic. The one who his friend has magic. The one who was clumsy can use magic. He just used it to protect him.

"Guys! Not now. You can talk about it afterwards."

He opened his mouth but closing it again. Gwaine was right and he let out a sigh as nodding. With this he started to fight the bandits and when they were finished he saw Merlin stare at him.

"So princess you have magic? And it seems like Merlin has as well. So you're both being sorcerer's?"

Gwain asked after they were a bit more away and he huffed out and again at the same time, him and Merlin said.

"I am a warlock not sorcerer."

Both looked now at Gwaine and he blinked, at this. Merlin soon stared once again at him and he stared back. In the end, all three started to crackle as it was too funny.

"I guess we both are then. I am not even mad at you for hiding this nor am I disappointed. I did the same thing so we are quit and Gwaine."

The mentioned male looked at him as waiting for him to continue.

"Tell anyone this and we will have a problem."

Merlin was silent for a moment and still hadn't said anything other than looking really nervous.

"Don't worry, princess. I won't tell anyone. I wouldn't want to lose my two best friends."

Arthur saw Merlin still not moving and by now he got a bit worried for his friend. For him, he was by now his best friend. That Merlin had magic and was as well a Warlock shouldn't be too much of a surprise. Now it made sense why suddenly branches fell on people, people ending unconscious, or simply swords ended up slipping out of their grasp. Or people suddenly unconscious.

"W-wait what?"

He snickered and Gwaine as well. God, Merlin looked adorable right now.

"We both are Warlock's and I won't tell anyone. I am sure that you wouldn't either, so we have a secret. The three of us and when I am king I will make magic legal."

With this, they started to talk and both got a better understanding of each other. Gwaine as well and they were now closer than ever. To the point where you almost never saw the three alone. People started to call them the three musketeers. At some point, even love bloomed between the two warlock's and everything ended up well. After Uther's death, Arthur made magic legal and both of them told their secret to Camelot. Happily ever after. 

A/N I have to thank -Line-28- for this idea. There are many more to come from her/him. I really liked this idea and it is a bit shorter than the others. I hope you guys still enjoyed it. When yes give this a vote, please. It helps me to see that people liked it. Oh, and I will make a second part of this.
