Arthur sat on a tree trunk, “You're a riddle Merlin”
“A riddle?”, Merlin asked irritated, looking tensely to the side without
facing the prince.
„Yes”, Arthur said looking at the ground, “but I quite of like you!“ he
added and swung nervously a piece of wood he was holding around. 
“Yeah?”
“Now, I realize you're not a big a fool as you look”, the prince told him
grinning and poked him with the branch into his back.
„Yeah. I feel the same...“, Merlin answered, “Now that I realize you're
not as arrogant as you sound” he glanced grinning at the blond.
Arthur gulped and kicked with his foot into the ground of the forest, “You
sure?”
The black haired boy turned around to face the prince completely, “Of
course”, his dazzling smile on the lips.
“I don't think so”, Arthur stood up and looked away.
“What's wrong?” Merlin's happy face changed into a worried grimace.
The prince coughed and tried to gather all his courage, “I don't think you
exactly fell the SAME way I do”
“Why do you think that?”
Arthur sighed and fixed with his foot a piece of wood on the ground as he
explained: “Tell me, what you exactly feel about me – I mean, what am I to
you?”
Merlin put on a face as if he had seen a pig flying right above his head, “I'm
not too sure if I can actually follow you”
“Just tell me”, Arthur swirled around and looked Merlin straight into the
eyes, “how would you describe our relationship?”
“Relationship?” Merlin raised in Gaius' manner an eyebrow, “We're
friends?”
Arthur stared at him, then took a deep breath and dropped his head, “Yes,
right”
The other boy tried to read the blond's expression.
“We are friends!” Athur said grinning at Merlin, “We are friends”
“Yes”, Merlin said confused, “What's wrong with you, today? Are you not
feeling well?”
“No, I feel great”, Arthur exclaimed and grinned broadly, “Oh, and you
still think I'm arrogant?”
Merlin looked at him confused, “No, more... supercilious”
