Next chapter! Sorry for the wait, I sort of forgot about this story, I've been working on another.

I hope you enjoy it! Please, Fav and Review!

Blinking.

That's all Arthur seemed to be doing, trying to figure if he was dreaming or not. He decided to pinch his arm, but-no, not a dream. His best friend, and most trusted advisor, was kissing-making out with-one of his best knights, the bravest to a tee.

It wasn't that he had anything wrong with two men being together, but it was just... unexpected. He didn't knew either man felt that way about other men, especially Gwaine, but seems he was mistaken.

Coming back to the situation, he coughed loudly, successfully splitting the couples lips. He could hear their ragged breathing, they had been making out for what... 5 minutes? Right in front of him?

Arthur looked up at their faces, and saw sheepish grins covering the pairs features. He just sighed, smiling back before asking, "So, then, when did this happen?"

Both Merlin and Gwaine sighed in obvious relief, happy that Arthur wasn't angry at their relationship. Gwaine answered.

"A few nights ago," he chuckled here, "can't believe it took us so long though, turns out we've been pining for each other for years! We wanted to tell you all as soon as we could."

"Wait-so everyone else knows?" Arthur asked, feeling mildly jealous that he was the last.

"Just the knights, we've just come from there," Merlin explained, seeing that flash through Arthur's eyes, "we haven't told Gwen or Gaius yet."

Arthur sat in the closest chair, letting out a low laugh, as he figured out Gwen's strange behaviour from earlier. "I'm pretty sure Gwen knows."

Both men looked confused. "What do you mean?" Gwaine asked.

"Well, I believe she was trying to keep me from my room, what were you..." Arthur trailed off, wondering what Gwen had seen. Coming from the beet red face of Merlin, quite a bit.

"Alright, at least she knows now!" Gwaine cheered positively.

"Now the only one left is Gaius." Merlin agreed.

At seeing Gwaine's handsome face fall, Merlin asked, "What, what is it?"

Gwaine tilted his head. "Nothing... it's just that... he's like a father to you, ya know? What if he doesn't... approve?"

Arthur watched the exchange, fascinated. He was engaged in the way they interacted now, Merlin holding Gwaine's hand, the pair standing in each others personal space. Arthur felt a spur of warmth rise in him at the knowledge that he was being let in on a private moment between his friends, and them not worrying about his title-not that they regularly did anyway-or being embarrassed. It made Arthur feel so much joy, knowing that if his friends were happy, he'd be happy.

He drew back to the words being spoken, now soothingly by Merlin.

"Don't worry Gwaine, everything will be fine, tell him Arthur." Merlin turned to him, his face pleading.

"Uh.. yeah Gwaine, don't worry, Gaius will accept you straight off, no problem." He said to Gwaine, his eyes telling a completely different story. Arthur looked back at Merlin, and his best friends gaze read 'real smooth Arthur'.

Gwaine didn't notice however and seemed boosted back up again. "Alright, I suppose we should head off, it's pretty late. We'll tell him tomorrow, right Merlin?" Proposed Gwaine.

"Right." Came the short reply. The couple turned to leave, but Merlin stopped, whispering something in Gwaine's ear. Gwaine smiled, nodded, turned to Arthur and saluted-Arthur snorted at this-and left the Kings Chambers.

Merlin smiled, looking at Arthur. "I guess I should say thanks...for accepting Gwaine and I. You don't know how nervous I was."

At this, Arthur frowned. "Why were you nervous, does my opinion mean that much to you?"

He heard Merlin chuckle, before saying, "Yeah, it does. You're my best friend Arthur... if you didn't accept us, for us... I would have been heartbroken."

Arthur saw how somber the conversation was heading so he said, "Thank the Gods that I fully accept you, both," he turned serious, "I mean it, Merlin, you're my best friend too, and know that whatever happens, that will always remain true."

Merlins expression turned shocked. "R-really?"

He received a nod in return. "Always."

Merlin grinned his goofy smile. "Thank you." Merlin turned back to the door, opening it, but not exiting.

"Why... why didn't you threaten Gwaine?'

Arthur laughed "Because he already knows he's a dead man before he even has the chance to possibly hurt you."

Merlin laughed also, walking out of the room. "Night Arthur."

He smiled. "Goodnight Merlin, be sure to be to on time!" He turned back to his chambers and mumbled "for once."

"I HEARD THAT!" Merlin shouted from down the hall, and Arthur laughed, freely.

Shutting the door, he walked over and sat on his bed, a smile still plastered on his face. Sure, he had absolutely no idea that Gwaine and Merlin would end up together, but, to him, it was pure. Real. They were made for each other, he could see that now. And seeing the love and devotion written on their faces, he knew it would last, until the day they died... And longer.

Yeah, cheesy I know.

Next chapter will be Gaius! I haven't written it yet, but I will start on it soon! Thanks again for reading.

Disclaimer: if Merlin was mine, it wouldn't have stopped being written... Ever.
