Merlin and Arthur didn't get along since the very beginning. But of course that all changed on their first year in high school when Merlin might or might have not saved Arthur using magic out in the open for everyone to see of course everyone continued to as clueless as ever, everyone except Arthur of course...
Merlin had been hoping he would never see the guy again after he left and if he did that the guy would hopefully forget him as they had only kind of insulted each other till their throats hurt and couldn't anymore for over a year. And like everything in his life that's not what happened and what did happen was all the opposite of what he had been expecting...he had thought of every possible scenario when he found out Arthur Pendragon would be his roommate in Albions boarding-school.
But he hadn't expected for Arthur and him to become the best of friends in the short span of a week (and they obviously where at each others throats most of the time but in a good way, wait can that suddenly be categorized as good?!) and he had certainly not thought that Arthur would swear to keep and protect his secret with his life by the end of it.
And did he forgot to mention Arthur had started being a little bit to overprotective of him. Oh, and there was Mordred...
"Where did you go after class we where supposed to go to the library." Arthur demanded when he entered the room. "Really? You must have forgotten to mention it." Merlin answered as he sat down on his bed. Arthur continued to stare at him and when Merlin didn't look up he sighed and said. "You didn't answer," Merlin looked up from his book. "Were where you?"
"I was with Mordred..." Silence descended the room and Arthur's face darkened at the mention of the name.
And jealous...yeah he forgot that part to didn't he, Arthur got jealous very easily when it came to him...
Mordred had arrived later on the first wee and apparently as Arthur put it he had been making goo goo eyes at him Merlin didn't see it but Arthur had also said that even if the whole universe was he had never even notice which was ridiculous! If someone was in love with him he would know, right?
If you like it and want it don't forget the rules~
Happy writing!
