Merlin and Arthur are one of the only boss/employee romances I’ll take and it’s honestly because Arthur thinks he’s the boss when in reality Merlin runs the show and I think that’s funny

Favorite Merthur Things
This scene:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*inhales and exhales deeply*
I think I know what they’re going for. I think they’re trying to show Merlin being worried about Arthur’s wound, that’s why he’s looking at him.
However, that is NOT what it looks like.
This isn’t even a context issue. I knew the context, but that’s not what I saw when I watched this scene. It’s still not what I see, even trying to look for that interpretation. 
Breakdown Time:
From the beginning, the starting action of this scene is Arthur taking off his shirt. Makes sense, he usually sleeps shirtless and they’re clearly about to go to bed. Also works to let the wound breathe more and not be trapped under a sweaty tunic. Nothing wrong with this. 
Then we get a deliberate shot of Merlin looking toward him following the action. Let’s see: 
If it was simply a reaction to seeing movement, he probably wouldn’t have turned his whole head and most likely would’ve moved back once his brain registered it. 
We can argue that he’s looking at the wound, which is definitely true to some extent, but the look on his face is not the typical “worried about Arthur” face he usually has. His features are too relaxed, too soft. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Merlin’s worried about Arthur’s life or safety, he always looks very stressed and tense. He has no hesitations voicing his concerns. He never has!
And yet when he looks at the wound on Arthur’s back, there’s no reaction to it. He looks thoughtful rather than worried. Plus, if that’s what they wanted us to think, they could’ve had Arthur visibly or audibly show worse pain. If he had groaned or winced, Merlin’s attention on him makes sense, but Arthur really doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary.
Moving on, Arthur looks over his shoulder and sees Merlin looking at him. There’s nothing unusual about this situation, but Merlin averts his eyes like he’s been caught doing something he shouldn’t, or simply didn’t want Arthur to know he was doing.
There’s no real reason for him to look away if he was worried about the wound. Plus directly after that, when Arthur asks what’s wrong, he refuses to answer. Obviously we know there’s a bigger reason why he’s upset, but he ends up lying about it anyway, claiming to be worried about Camelot. Why not use the wound as an excuse? What? Is he nervous to bring it up, or worried it might irritate Arthur?
The next day he’s directly calling out the wound as a problem, so clearly he had no qualms about bringing it up. He’s definitely been paying attention to it the entire episode.
Tumblr media
After this opening, the scene goes back to “normal” but for these few moments, there is something seriously off about the vibe.
I mean off in the way Merlin’s behaving, specifically toward Arthur. Obviously we know he’s stressed as fuck about meeting Balinor, so obviously that can be blamed, and we know that’s what’s bothering him once they start talking. If they wanted him to seem upset enough for Arthur to notice, he wouldn’t even have to look over at him. Honestly, having his back completely turned would probably be a red flag by itself.
There is something so weird about the energy right before their conversation. It’s a very strange choice if that weren’t intending for it to have subtext; they claimed that gayness wasn’t intentional basically up until the finale. Could they have been lying? Yeah, but who can know for sure?
Anyway, that’s another reason why these two never leave my brain!

The Further Adventures of Merlin and Arthur in London
The evening was boring. Arthur was snoring.
Merlin lay awake in his bed for the longest time, just looking at the ceiling and listening to Arthur snore.
He suddenly found himself thinking about those days back in Camelot. Modern time was such a different world that Merlin was beginning to wonder if any of that had ever happened.
Merlin: (thinking) Don't be silly Merlin. Your mother. Gwen. Gaius. Lancelot, Gwaine, and even Morgana. Of course it happened...
Arthur rolled over in his bed, opened his eyes for a few seconds, and mumbled something incoherent. Then it was back to snoring.
Merlin grinned and waved his finger playfully. Arthur sneezed hard in his sleep. He was awake now.
Arthur: (mumbling) Goodness...
Merlin: That was a windbreaker.
Arthur: Still awake Merlin?
Merlin: Couldn't sleep. Just thinking about old times.
Arthur: (smiling) I think about it too. Who would have ever thought that you and I would end up roommates in a place like this?
Merlin: (laughs) Well, no offense your highness, but - I think it's done wonders for your personality. You've changed.
Arthur: No... not changed so much. Just different life circumstances, and I've started thinking about you in a new light.
Merlin: Oh? Do tell...
Arthur: In a way, you're all that I have Merlin. I have nothing else from Camelot. Sometimes, I find myself thinking that maybe I'll get back to Camelot someday and be king. Other times, I find myself being content with this world, and what we have here.
Merlin: Oddly enough, I feel the same way. You have to admit though that this world sure beats Camelot in most ways. Temperature control. Cars. Convenient cooking. TV...
Arthur: Indeed. I think maybe you and I are finally where we belong. Our ideal place in the universe. Our niche. We don't need to be prince and servant anymore. We've become like the best of friends.
(Merlin smiles at Arthur)
Arthur:
Arthur: Now get some sleep Merlin. You have work in the morning, and so do I, matter of fact.

All we needed was one sentence to freak out get rid of all of our braincells that we gained since Merlin ended, and have hope for the future and another sentence to undo all of the above and add disappointment
