Thinking of merthur in Descendants type au, but specifically for that scene where Mal gets Ben to eat the love cookie. Arthur as Ben, and Merlin as Mal. Could be a modern time, but I'm going to stick with the show time. The magic purge still happens, but Uther can't get to kill all sorceress so he puts all that are still alive into a land separate from regular people, like the Isle. So like the movie, a few kids get to come to Camelot, one being Merlin (mordred and Lance, and Gwaine because why not), and from his upbringing he hates Pendragons. Then Merlin meets Kilgharrah and learns about the prophecy. So like the show he's in doubt and denial, but eventually warms to Arthur. And of course the two idiots start pining after each other but won't say. It's been about 2 weeks since they arrived and Camelot has been preparing a tournament, and Arthur is competing of course. The two teaseinsult each other everyday, and eventually Merlin gets courage to try and 'court' Arthur (though he doesn't know how to properly), and decides to bake him honey cake for the fight tomorrow. Of course the other guys are hyping and teasing him, and help him make the cake. Gwaine gets the silly idea to put a silly enchantment on it since Arthur, the love-starved idiot, was being a prat earlier. So when he eats it, it's like a truth spell, it'll just make him confess his love to Merlin already. The trio is sick of the pining, so they're trying to speed the process, and Merlin of course didn't know. Then cue the scene Merlin going to see Arthur in his tent -
Merlin, slightly blushing ( he can hear the trio hiding behind him snickering): " Hey dollophead. I made some cake and have extra, do you want try it?"
Arthur, trying to stay unaffected: "Oh, er, I don't eat before I head out on the field...but., thank you."
Merlin, getting sad: "no, yeah, I understand, be careful of treats offered by sorcerers. ha"
Arthur, feeling bad seeing Merlin sad: "no that's not-"
Merlin, regretting everything: " no I get it, you're just being cautious, that's smart..I'll just. I have to head back to my friends."
Arthur: "no wiat!"
and so he grabs the cake and takes a bite
Arthur: "see, definitely trust you. They taste great, sweet, just like.... just-"
The spell starts taking affect here and the trio get closer to hear the best part
Merlin, confused but hopeful: "just like?"
Arthur, dreamy look in his eyes now: "you. You're..beautiful "
Merlin, heavily blushing: "Arthur.."
Arthur leans in and presses a little kiss on Merlin's cheek, right as the tournament starts and he is being called out. By now the spell is wearing out because modred's still trying to handle his powers so it's not too strong. But it still got the job done, giving the two a good nudge. Seeing a job well done, the trio head out to the seats and wait for Merlin to hear the details from him.
Arthur realizes what he did, gets flustered : "I'll see you later? After my fight, yes?"
Merlin, face like a tomato at this point, trying not to smile too much and creep Arthur out: "yes!..yeah, I'll see you then. Good luck"
Arthur starts heading out but pauses slightly to look back and smile at Merlin. (He's trying to memorize his blushing face, for research purposes...)
Merlin stays frozen for a bit and then defrosts and goes to the guys who are all giving him a look. Gwaine the most obvious one, winking like he has something in his eye. They give him pats on his back and of course some brotherly love.
They watch the tournament and when it's Arthur's turn, Merlin gets all giddy seeing him again. Arthur finds Merlin looking at him from the stands and also gets a bit blushy. He fights and of course wins, and the first person he looks at after victory is Merlin. XD
(Merlin might have come to Camelot with vengeance in mind, but now he's just a lovestruck fool for Arthur, and of course he gets Arthur interested in magic, and eventually once Arthur becomes king magic has returned and Albion gets united and everything, and Merlin and Arthur are married ) (and of course the trio is knighted, and everyone lives)
