Merthur/Merlin one shot

Arthur is jelly of Mordred

Arthur is always watching Merlin and Mordred and ends up jelly of them. But in reality, both aren't flirting but simply communicating.

Arthur wasn't sure how to react, and he felt more and more irritated at this. Why he wasn't sure and he felt confused about it. Like shouldn't he feel happy for his manservant and his knight? Like Mordred and Merlin were for each other made and that was making him irritated, but why? This made no sense and he was getting more and more aggravated with that entire thing. A huff went out as he watched the two have eye contact and both smirking.

Almost as the two were communicating with each other. And that was making him just feel like he was missing something. By now he knew about Merlin's magic and he wasn't mad at him. He understood why he hid it and he was really glad that he finally told him and trusted him enough.

"Merlin I need help now and stop eye sexing your boyfriend."

Gwaine called out and he couldn't help but stare at the man now. Why in Camelot's name would he say this? There were two reactions, one which looked horrified and embarrassed and the other one blinked and started to burst out in laughter. And soon even the older one starting to burst out into laughter. This made him just now stare at the two. Never had he seen the two laugh that hard.

"We aren't together."

At the same time and the same amused tone came from the two. It was making him just stare more. What was going on and why was he feeling more irritated now.

"Then stop looking at him like this or get a room."

He huffed out and narrowed his eyes at Merlin. The male blinked and stared at him now, but not saying anything other than the smirk he gave him. Almost as he knew something- which he wasn't known at the moment. The training continued and he started to get sidetracked and distracted which led to him ending up getting hit with the blunt sword.

"Ugh..."

He went down with a thud and now he was just even more confused at him.

"Shit really sorry Arthur."

A startled voice called out -Leon and he cursed under his breath for being a distracted mess. Arthur now realized something...he was jealous of Mordred. But why? This made no sense to him and he stayed there laying unmoved not realizing that by now Merlin fussing over him.

"Arthur? You there?"

A sudden voice in his mind was startling him. And getting back to reality just to see his manservant near him. Like really close. That close that he could feel the breath on him. It led to give him goosebumps.

"Y-yeah, sorry about this."

He was sure that Merlin would hear his thoughts. Blue eyes met his blue colored one. Ones which looked concerned at him.

"Training off for our king. Merlin you take him to Gaius."

Brows furrowed now as he glanced at Mordred. The man had knowing eyes now and he couldn't help but narrow them. So he ended up having a check-up. Let's just say a week later he confessed and Merlin said...

"Hah, knew it. I won the bet."

A bet? They made a bet out of this? Wow. Why wasn't he even remotely surprised at this? Oh, wait this is Merlin he was talking about so of course, he would do this.

"Oh and love you too, you lovable clot pole."

A quick kiss was given on his cheeks and he saw him rushed outside with whistling a cheerful tone.

'What did just happen?'

---

Merlin couldn't help but feel too amused by this. The clot pole wasn't realizing his own feelings for him. Like it was obvious and he saw how he was jealous about him watching Mordred. It was amusing to him so that even Gwaine started to bet. Merlin did bet a week from now on, Gwaine a month and Mordred two weeks from now on.

'Look at him being a clueless cute clot pole.'

He sends over to Mordred as he watched the male shoot with precision a target. Eyes met now and he decided to play a bit now.

'Pff I know right. God this is so painful to watch. I can't believe that he still hasn't realized his feelings. But it is amusing to watch.'

It was almost impossible not to laugh now and this went on a while. They didn't look at each other for too long. But one point they had a stare-off. Both were bored and Mordred just was wanting to play a bit.

"Merlin I need help now and stop eye sexing your boyfriend."

Boyfriend? Had Gwaine really had to say this? A blush slowly felt bloomed and he stared horrified at the male. This was embarrassing, but soon he had to burst out in laughter as well. Too comical for him.

"We aren't together."

At the same time, he and his brother figure said. Both held the same amused tone. By now Mordred was like a little brother and he could never think of him as something else.

"Then stop looking at him like this or get a room."

Oh my god. He is really badly jealous and doesn't even realize this. So all he could do was stare at the male. But he couldn't help but having a smirk on his lips. The male was still clueless and he wondered how long it would take. So it was now ten minutes later that Arthur ended up getting hit by a blunt sword and he rushed instantly over. No reaction to no one and he felt now getting slowly panicked. And because of panic he used his magic and sent his thoughts over...

"Arthur? You there?"

Merlin even went to check for injuries and he got confused when he felt the male shiver. Was he cold? There was as well a blush on his cheeks which made him concerned thinking that he got a fever.

"Y-yeah, sorry about this."

He breathed out and his eyes met with Arthur's blue once and he hoped that his king was alright.

"Training off for our king. Merlin you take him to Gaius."

The voice of Mordred made his attention just for a more shift and both realized something. The male knows that he was jealous. That was why he ended up getting hit and now he had to wait for Arthur to confess. Which was a week later.

"Hah, knew it. I won the bet."

Yes, he won the bet. Now he could get Gwaine and Mordred to buy him new shoes and new clothes. In the euphoria of his won bet; the confession was almost forgotten.

"Oh and love you too, you lovable clot pole."

Now that this was out of the way- Mordred and Gwaine here I come.

A quick kiss he gave Arthur and rushed outside with whistling a cheerful tune. Cheeks flushed knowing that he just kissed him on his cheeks in the heat of the moment. But so worth it. The gobsmacked expression was hilarious.
