Ok so, we all know that the reveal of Merlin's magic to Arthur has been going on for too long--so long that I'm actually beginning to think of this theory as a possibility...

For some reason or another Merlin's going to be in a position where he has a chance to tell Arthur of his secret, but this time he actually goes through with it: "Arthur..."

"Yes Merlin? What is it?"

"Well...it's difficult to say"

"Spit it out, Merlin."

Merlin swallows, then looks at his friend, "I have a...secret."

Arthur looks up.

Merlin: "I should have told you a long time ago...it's  kind of hard to--"

"Just tell me, Merlin."

long awkward silence....

"I have magic," Merlin...I don't know, shows him a flame on his hand or something.

Arthur nodding, "I know."

"What?!"

"Oh Merlin, I've known you've had magic forever.  Did you really think I was that stupid?"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well I couldn't acknowledge it or I'd have to kill you."

"How long have you known?"

"Long enough to know it was you dressed as that old woman."

Merlin: face palm. "And you've never given me any credit for any of the times that I saved you and Camelot?"

"Well, why would I when I get all of the glory?" Arthur smiles, "You are such a coward Merlin, I can't believe this has taken you ten years to tell me," shaking his head.

I know, I've always thought of this as a stupid theory, but I'm now having second thoughts. Please comment! :)
