   • like very protective because protective Arthur is hot
   • two idiots walking into love together
   • they're just so in love BUT SO BLIND TO IT
   • kind of a 5+1

   • this is angstier than the summary makes it out to be lol

   Summary

   He can't explain it. One day, Arthur's swinging a mace at the boy with the big ears and red neckerchief and the next, he's tackling a man twice his size for having the audacity to look at Merlin wrong.

   Or, Arthur protects Merlin over and over, falling a little more in love each time.

    

   “You’re the only person in the world that I think really sees me Merlin.” Arthur confesses. "Forgive me then, for wishing harm on the people who would hurt you for just being who you are.”
