Summary
Arthur scoffed, barely slowing. “Oh, come on, Merlin. You’re always complaining about how I don’t appreciate you. And now I’m personally escorting you to an afternoon of leisure.” He shot Merlin a smug grin. “I’d say that’s very generous of me.”
Merlin huffed, rolling his eyes, but he knew he’d already lost this fight. Arthur was nothing if not persistent when he got an idea into his thick, royal head. And apparently, today’s idea involved forcing Merlin to enjoy himself—whether he wanted to or not.
----------
Camelot is hosting a festival, and Arthur insists that Merlin enjoy it instead of working. Merlin is suspicious of Arthur’s sudden kindness—until he realizes Arthur wants an excuse to drag him around to all the stalls. Perhaps he'll even win him a prize

Summary
Arthur sighed, taking a step closer. He moved behind Merlin, his boots scraping against the gravel beneath him. "Like this," he said, placing a hand on Merlin’s shoulder.
"Keep your feet wider. Shift your weight—there." He adjusted Merlin’s stance with a firm but gentle push. "See? You can’t fight yourself, Merlin. Let the sword move with you, not against you."
Merlin’s back went rigid at the contact, his body tense as if every muscle was screaming to pull away. But Arthur didn’t seem to notice, or perhaps he did but was too focused on the task at hand. He moved Merlin’s arms into a better position, his fingers brushing against Merlin’s forearms as he guided them. There was a moment of stillness, an electric pulse that seemed to hum between them, and Arthur’s breath caught in his throat.
It was uncomfortably close.
----------
Arthur tries to teach Merlin sword fighting, only to realize Merlin is terrible at it. What starts as a frustrating lesson turns into Arthur wrapping his arms around Merlin to guide him properly.

Summary
Gwen nodded, performing what could be considered the signing version of muttering as she signed his name and resigned it and signed it again. Merlin didn’t understand where this desire and conviction had come from or why but, for some reason, his smile had remained for a long while after they’d parted.

As Prince Arthur's new manservant, Merlin didn't realize he would have to actually BATHE the pompous git. Who doesn't know how to bathe themselves? Arthur can be such a child..
(This is totally my headcanon based on canon interpretation [incl deleted scenes] of what happened during those many baths.)

Summary
Merlin didn’t understand what it was about his computer that Arthur loved so much, Arthur knew that. Especially when he had a bigger computer in the main living room at a desk he could use.
What he didn’t seem to get, though, was that it was precisely because he wasn’t allowed to use it that made him want to use it so bad. That and, he’d used it with Merlin’s supervision before, and things loaded so much faster than on the shared computer!
Today, he needed a fast computer.
