a scene in which Arthur saw Merlin sneaking around with a sorcerer and misunderstandings ensue:
(from a fic that I will probably never write)
Arthur: I know the truth, I’ve suspected it for a while now. Honestly, I think a part of me knew from the day I met you, I knew there was something different about you. I tried to help you when I said that you lied about being a sorcerer because you were in love with Gwen, but you were so adamant that I was wrong. And then there was your ‘friend’ who did the magic in Ealdor. Not to mention your secret whispers with Lancelot. And then last night… I saw you with that man. I know who you are.
Merlin: Arthur, please, don’t hate me! I was born like this, it doesn’t make me a bad person.
Arthur: I know–
Merlin: And I know that you can’t trust me anymore and I understand. I’ll leave Camelot right now. I’ll never show my face here again. *crying* Just please spare my life!
Arthur: Woah, woah, sssh it’s ok. I’m not going to kill you. Or exile you for that matter.
Merlin: You’re not? But your father would have me burned at the stake.
Arthur: So I won't tell him. I don’t just blindly follow everything my father thinks, you know. Maybe I did at first –and I'm sorry for that– but I’ve come to accept it.
Merlin: Really?
Arthur: Of course. You’re my closest friend, I trust you with everything, that’s not going to change. And for what it’s worth, when I’m king, I’m going to change the laws. People like you should be treated as equals.
Merlin: Oh, thank gods. It means so much to hear you say that. Arthur, you should know, it's all for you. Everything I did last night, I only thought of you.
Arthur: *incredibly flustered* Oh, ok. I mean, I kind of thought that might be the case, but I didn't think you'd be so open about it.
Merlin: You knew?
Arthur: You're not as subtle as you think, I can’t help but notice the way that you look at me.
Merlin: *freaking out* Wait, what do you mean?
Arthur: It’s ok, I’m flattered, truly. Honestly, I’d probably be a bit offended if you weren’t attracted to me. But you’ve never crossed that line, and for that I am very grateful. It shows how strong our friendship is. *squeezes Merlin's shoulder*
Merlin: *blushing violently* Right. Yeah. Of course.
Arthur: You seem shocked. I’m sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, if you thought I-
Merlin: No, no it’s not that. Just, you really don’t mind?
Arthur: It doesn’t change a thing. You just don’t have to hide from me anymore.
Merlin: Yeah. And you’re not going to tell anyone?
Arthur: No, I wouldn’t betray you like that. And mainly because this means that I’ve just lost a bet with Gwaine and I really don’t want him finding out.
Merlin: *laughs* You really are an idiot.
