Summary
All in all, Arthur was one of those men about whom it could be said that their heart was in the right place, although he did take great pains to hide it. Still, the core of decency made Merlin endure the thick layers of arrogance (and their thin crispy crust of arseholery) with more patience than he’d ever thought possible. There was indeed a promise of greatness about Arthur that Merlin was willing to believe in.

Summary
How Merlin had ended up dancing with Arthur in his chambers, he truly had no idea.
Yet there they were, with an extremely patient Arthur – more patient than Merlin had never seen him - guiding him and offering him gentle tips on how to move with the rhythm of the ballad. Although Merlin had landed on Arthur’s feet several times and had nearly throwing them off balance at least three occasions, Arthur hadn’t once scolded him or teased him.
He seemed relaxed, Merlin realised, catching the soft, encouraging smile on Arthur's face. It was strange to see him like that, especially since he had become king and his duties had multiplied. Yet now he looked unguarded, carefree.
And he was even more handsome than usual.
