A/N: There are so many wonderful potential revelation scenarios in Merlin (and so many of them don't involve magic) that it's hard to figure out which ones to write, sometimes! This is one of those that I highly doubt the show will ever address (since, you know, they can't even get around to telling Arthur that his BEST FRIEND has MAGIC! [No, I'm not bitter. :P]) but it would be so unbelievably awesome if they did! Especially if it goes a little something like this...
Disclaimer: They still aren't mine.

Prompt: Jealousy (Run For Your Life)
35. Jealousy
For the past few days, Merlin had been sick. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but his body had decided to fall ill while he and Arthur were out on an adventure miles from Camelot. For the past twenty-four hours, he had been running a high fever that was starting to make Arthur nervous.
For one thing, he was absolute crap at treating sick people, and for another, it was making Merlin say the strangest things!
"Hey, Arthur," he slurred on the second evening.
"What?"
"You know when I got poisoned?"
"Yeah."
"After I started recovering, Gwen kissed me!"
Cheers!
