Summary
Navigating life events that turn his world upside down, including his ascension to the throne and a revelation that rocks him to his core, Arthur's ever-evolving relationship with Merlin becomes the most important of his life. No one ever said love was easy.
“I would die before I hurt you,” Arthur said, his voice strangled. “I would kill anyone who ever tried to do you harm and it pains me to think that you could ever fear me.”
“I don’t understand,” Merlin said breathlessly. “You’re the king, you – ”
“I’m not standing here as a king, Merlin!” Arthur shouted, his voice breaking as he did so. “I’m standing here as a man, a man who believed he knew you completely, a man who thought you were the one constant in his life, a man who thought…who thought you were his,” he finished, horrified to feel tears pricking his eyes.

At twenty-seven years old, Arthur is living in a new area, trying to make friends and trying to sort his life out. After confiding in Merlin that he has no sexual experience, Merlin offers him a 'friends with benefits' situation, which Arthur readily accepts.
Of course, nothing is ever so simple, and soon all bets are on as to when they will realise exactly what it is they have and whether they will choose to keep it.
