Summary
Eventually, Arthur had enough. “Come on, Merlin. Whatever it is must be important, and you’re clearly -” Arthur waved his hand impatiently in Merlin’s general direction, “- trying to find the right moment. Well, this is me telling you, this is the right moment. Go ahead.”
Merlin looked to the side. “You’re mistaken, Sire.” Then, half a beat too late for their usual bickering, he added: “As usual.”
“See, Merlin, I don’t think I am.” Arthur leaned back in his chair. “The only question is what it could be, that makes you want to tell me but not want to tell me at the same time.”
Or:
In which Merlin obviously has a secret, and recently crowned King Arthur figures the wrong things out. At least initially. Then, he starts getting frighteningly close to something he, in the end, isn’t sure he wants to know about.

He was always there—quiet, steady, the one who never walked away.
Until the day he did.
When fear meets truth and power is mistaken for betrayal, everything breaks. What follows isn’t war, but silence. A vanished friend.
And Arthur is left with nothing but silence… and the ache of what he’s lost.
But some scars burn with more than pain—
and even now, love remembers how to breathe.A slow-burn hurt/comfort story of betrayal, grief, and the long road to healing—where even the deepest wounds can lead back to love.

Summary
Arthur witnessed Merlin's stand off against Agravaine. The question is only, if a traitor of Camelot defeats a traitor of Camelot, what is Merlin's motif? And if his devotion to Arthur is actually genuine, then what does that mean for Camelot?
In truth, none of these (very reasonable) questions matter anymore when Arthur realises he has a massive crush on Merlin.Series

Summary
In retaking Camelot from Morgana at the end of Season 4, Merlin let loose with his magic, ending Morgana, freeing Camelot and whoopsy sort of exposing himself to the world. He and Arthur come to an agreement that Merlin will be a court advisor to magic, and basically have to deal with any other mages in Camelot or that come to Camelot. To aid him in this task, Gwaine is assigned as Merlin's personal knight, in part because he has zero fear of Merlin's power.
Gwaine sees the stress this puts Merlin under, and decides it is his noble duty to make Merlin laugh at least twice a day.
It has nothing to do with the fact that he is madly in love with Merlin. He's just being a good friend, and fulfilling his duties to Camelot.
