Merlin, who gives Arthur his neckerchief for good luck before a tournament (he pretends not to know what it means) claiming "I heard it somewhere that doing this could bring you good luck" (he enchanted it to bring Arthur luck during the tournament). Arthur, who is trying to keep a stoic expression as he takes Merlins neckerchief and ties it around his arm. He clears his throat and tells Merlin "I won't need luck," before muttering a soft thank you that Merlin barely hears.

at least they’ll be reunited when arthur dies

Arthur held Merlin in the aftermath of the battle of Camlan.

His idiot manservant had appeared out of nowhere and taken a blow meant for the king. A killing blow.

Merlin had been slain by Mordred, and in turn Mordred had been slain by Arthur.

“I did it…. I actually did it” Merlin whispered.

Arthur’s brows knit together in confusion. Merlin had sounded almost… happy?

With a closer look, he saw his friend wasn’t grimacing with pain, instead he was smiling the widest he had ever seen.

With that, Merlin gave a hearty sigh, and closed his eyes for the last time. He had conquered fate itself, and now he could finally rest.

he was a king! he didn’t even have to put up with anything merlin did

arthur truly thought of merlin as his best friend and it’s not appreciated enough. in the eyes of everyone else he was a kind person who was letting merlin get away with a lot .

arthur must have been so confused by merlin always talking about some sort of secret, disappearing for days, having a strange avoidance for a cracked old man, and randomly blurting lines about arthur’s fate at pressing moments like we don’t appreciate what this man put up with enough

Remember when Merlin brought Morgana flowers and Arthur Bitch Pendragon Esquire demanded to know where his flowers were?
