A/n: Ok, so this is my first Merlin fanfic and I was watching Merlin clips on the internet last night and I watched a scene from season 5 episode 3 where Arthur threatens Merlin with a spoon and during that scene I got a massive urge to write a fan fiction about that scene but in this it doesn't get to the part where Arthur threatens Merlin with a spoon. Please review because it only takes a second and it is really helpful.
Knock Knock was the sound that Prince Arthur heard when he was sitting at the table in his chambers. Before the doors opened, he flung a bowl full of apples on the floor and put the bowl upside down on the table, to cover the horn he had just been holding.
"What are you doing?" Merlin cried indignantly when he entered the room. Arthur shrugged as Merlin bent down to pick up some of the apples.
"Nothing. Just thinking," Arthur replied as he watched what Merlin was doing.
"You thinking? Well, now I'm really getting worried" Merlin replied. Arthur glared at him.
"Shut up" he said. Merlin reached out to turn the fruit bowl over, but Arthurs hand slapped down onto it before he had the chance. "Leave it."
"Why?" Merlin asked, giving Arthur one of his looks.
"Because I'm telling you to and I'm the king of Camelot," Arthur said. Merlin's hands slipped away from the bowl. "Not that it seems to mean and thing to you." Merlin dived back in to try to get the bowl but Arthur was faster and once again his hands slapped down onto the bowl before Merlin had the chance to move it. Merlin tilted his head to look at the king and Arthur's eyes met Merlin's. Arthur got lost in those sparkling blue eyes. He couldn't deny that he often had un-kingly thoughts about Merlin and now he had a chance to make those come through.

Merlin leaned over the table and kissed Arthur gently on the mouth. When Arthur didn't respond, he pulled back. Arthur got up from his chair and stood in front of him.
"Sorry," Merlin whispered, terrified of what Arthur would do. Arthur shook his head.
"Don't be'" he said back and he cupped Merlins face in his hands and leaned back down to kiss him.
Merlins arms found their way around the Kings neck and Arthur slid his hands around Merlins waist, pulling him closer. Arthur swept his tongue across Merlins lower lip, asking for entrance, which Merlin was happy to give. Arthur explored the warm cavern in earnest. When they finally broke apart, both men were red and breathless.
"I love you, Merlin" Arthur whispered, and then licked the shell of Merlins ear, feeling the younger man shiver beneath him.
"I love you, too" was his reply.
