1.07 "Gates of Avalon"

Merlin and Arthur are hunting together when Arthur runs to help a lady in distress. Merlin saves his life.

Arthur talks to Merlin while he is changing his bedsheets, asking him to cover for him so he can go out with Sophia. Arthur tells him that he will be his friend for life if he agrees, and makes really cute eyes at him, to which Merlin agrees.

Merlin tries to stop Arthur from eloping with Sophia, and tells him that he is his friend, looking very hurt when Arthur tells him he is just a servant

Merlin saves Arthur's life by diving into the lake and pulling him from the water and just holding him in his arms in the water

Merlin lies for Arthur so he won't get found out about eloping with Sophia, and gets put in the stocks as a result

1.08 "The Beginning of the End"

Arthur tells Merlin to meet him so they can help the druid boy, Mordred, escape. Merlin agrees after Arthur's request

Merlin tries to talk Arthur out of fighting the black knight, of fear that he will be killed. He goes to the dragon especially to ask for a weapon that will kill the dead.

1.10 "The Moment of Truth"

Merlin and Arthur share a sweet moment on the castle roof, in which Merlin tells Arthur that he mist leave him to help his mother. Arthur seems quite upset that Merlin will not be returning and hides his disappointment by making a joke about Merlin being a terrible manservant.

When Merlin is travelling to Ealdor, he meets Arthur in the forest, and runs after him like a little puppy, so happy to see him. When Merlin thanks Arthur for coming to help, Arthur changes the subject, telling him to sleep

Merlin and Arthur sleep next to each other on the floor and Arthur talks to Merlin about his past and why he left Ealdor.

It is the only way to save his Kingdom- one of them had to drink a sleeping potion that was thought to be poison, and Arthur drank it, willing to sacrifise himself for Merlin.
