A response to another ROSELLA1 prompt. Hope you like it.
Merlin was being cheap lately, and Arthur couldn't understand why.
The prince recognized that his servant's replacement when his coat fell apart was thinner than the last.
It was starting to get on Arthur's nerves for some reason. Of course, not because he was worried about his health…
Arthur woke to an odd sight: Merlin, on time, holding a parcel out to him.
"Happy birthday, Arthur."
In shock, he took the gift and unwrapped it to an expensive-looking winter cloak inside. He swallowed.
Two days later, Merlin found a new, sturdy coat on his bed. He never discovered its origin.
