Exactly! Arthur and Gwen do have a good base attraction. I'm not doubting they're interested in each other, but I question the hell out of their future relationship. Aside from the giant difference in dedication to the relationship, they have nothing in common. It'd make a great high school romance that fizzled out after three months. But attempting to package and sell it as omg true love forever? PUTA POR FAVOR.
Ahahha, I think that's explicable in two ways. One, Arthur loves Merlin exactly as much as Merlin loves him, but he has no way of understanding his love. He has no context to put his feelings into. He doesn't even know what love IS. He just has absolutely no clue. All he knows is Merlin is bewildering and infuriating and he wants him around all the time but kind of hates him but just doesn't know what to make of him. I think Arthur will grow up and probably realize what Merlin means to him, but at this stage in his emotional development I'm pretty sure Merlin could make out with him and Arthur would just be confused. And second of all, I think that Arthur, regardless of his feelings, has sort of made himself accept that, like it or not, Merlin is never leaving him alone. He could explicitly be like MERLIN GO AWAY FOREVER and Merlin would be all OH OF COURSE and then five seconds later pop up and go WHOOPS I FORGOT TO MAKE YOUR BED/BRUSH YOUR HAIR/WASH YOUR SOCKS.
Yes! I doubt Arthur knows what unconditional love looks like, because when has he ever had that before?
I think he really doesn't know what to do with Merlin most of the time. I don't think he even questions half of the weird things that are associated with him anymore :P
OK. It is Friday after all...or at least I will give it a shot haha. Goodness knows I love the crack!fic something fierce.
I HAVE A FEELING THAT THIS IS WHY ARTHUR KEEPS THROWING THINGS AT MERLIN. At some point, he's going to have to use magic to deflect, thus ridding him of the agony of having to decide when to tell Arthur & how, etc. etc. HE JUST WANTS MERLIN TO TRUST LIKE ARTHUR DOES HIM OK
