Summary
Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant. While many question it when first noticing, eventually it becomes an understanding in Camelot—and even among some other countries—that where there is Arthur, there is Merlin. And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.
OrArthur and Merlin's relationship as witnessed and explained by others.

Summary
There are many reasons that Merlin is a horrible manservant. Most of the time, Arthur is the one who suffers from Merlin’s unscrupulous behaviour, and it’s this fact only that has saved Merlin’s job. Because, as much as Merlin lacks the qualities for being a properly attentive manservant, his unique view on the nobility’s importance—namely, non-existent—means that he is probably the closest thing Arthur’s ever had as a friend.
Not that he’d tell Merlin, obviously.
Or: Five times Merlin wears Arthur's clothes out of need, and one time because Arthur asks him to.

Summary
“If the king is so concerned about Merlin,” he asks, looking at Leon, “Why does he always take him along on quests and patrols? It’s not necessary to bring a servant, and he’s clearly worried—”
Leon smiles. “We’ve often asked the same thing,” he says, and shrugs. “But I don’t think Merlin would allow himself to be left behind, so any argument is moot.”
“He could order him,” Mordred says.
“Merlin would just follow,” Leon says. “It’s easier to include him from the start. Sometimes, I think those two just need to be close to each other. Hard enough to keep them apart anyway, even at the beginning, when they were just constantly sniping at each other.”
When Mordred looks back, Arthur’s arm is around Merlin’s shoulder, and he is smiling broadly. Merlin’s eyes are bright and focused on Arthur, and his lips are tugged upwards, as if he can’t quite stop himself.
Merlin loves Arthur to the point of fear, Mordred realises.
