Summary
“Camelot needs you.”
Sometimes, Merlin’s steadfastness can be admirable. At this moment, though, Arthur rather feels like throwing something.
“Camelot needs you too, you idiot,” Arthur snaps.
“I’m just a—“
“If you finish that sentence, gods help me—“ Arthur points a threatening finger. “I thought I had made it quite clear. How many times do I need to repeat it to get it through your thick skull?”“Never said it once, actually,” mutters Merlin, rather insolently.

Summary
Merlin loved Arthur with all his soul, but he was not in love with him.
Not that it was something he had decided, or a conclusion he had reached after mulling it over for a long time. He didn’t think about his feelings for Arthur. But if someone asked him what he felt for Arthur, surely that’s what he would say.
It was a fact. He wasn’t in love with Arthur.
...
Or so he thought. Because maybe, maybe, there are different ways to love and to be in love with someone, and Merlin didn’t know.
