Summary
'What happened to you?'
Merlin grimaced. He must look worse than he realised for Arthur to sound like that: genuinely aghast, as if he thought Merlin might collapse at any moment. It wasn't that bad. He'd wiped the worst of the mud and blood off.
'Gaius needed herbs.'
Sometimes all it take is a little tender loving care to shift the balance of friendship into something more.

Summary
To that woman at the shop, Merlin is going home to someone who loves him. The Merlin in her mind might spend the night eating cheap Chinese takeaway with Arthur, arms curled around each others’ shoulders while they watch a film. Merlin surprises him with a special Assam blend. Arthur hops in the shower with him and runs his fingers through his hair. They fall asleep together, and Arthur makes him truly atrocious eggs on toast in the morning, and Merlin gets to be loved back.
Suddenly, Merlin wants to live in that world. He wants it so badly he feels sick.
(Or: Merlin tells his coworkers that Arthur is his boyfriend. Predictably, it backfires).

Summary
Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there’s something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn’t know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance.

A slow-burn touched-starved Arthur Pendragon story.

Guys, there was only one bed.
Guys, some obscure quest in the cold far-up mountains made them "huddle for warmth".
Guys, they might give in to this farm fantasy of theirs.
Can't I just put all the tropes in there?
