Summary: Arthur's always been better with actions than words. Set after 2.01 The Curse of Cornelius Sigan.
They dismount by a meadow with Merlin jabbering on about how he could be getting on with chores rather than follow Arthur around. Even if it is a lovely day for a ride and he’s enjoying the break. Arthur sighs and rolls his eyes.
A nudge.
A push.
A shove.
It escalates into a wrestling match that leaves Merlin laughing so hard he can barely find the breath to gasp mercy. Arthur hauls him to his feet and stares at Merlin like he’s searching for understanding before clapping a hand on his shoulder.
Merlin smiles and hears the not-such-a-clotpole’s actions.

This is my first Merlin fic so feedback would be most appreciated! It took me a while to whittle this down to a 100 word drabble that I hope makes sense. I'm even considering writing an extended version as an episode tag.
