What If You're Someone I Just Want Around (слэш)

Arthur has always known that Merlin is keeping secrets.
He has known it when Merlin stood up to him in a marketplace, eyes full of defiance and not a shred of fear to be found. He has known it when Merlin swung a mace at him even though it was clear that he had never handled one before, refusing to cower before anyone, prince or not. He has known it when Uther had made Merlin his servant, and Merlin looked as if he would walk out of Camelot right then and there.
From the first day they’ve met, Arthur never wanted anything more than for Merlin to consider him worthy of each and every part of him.
