Arthur watching his own funeral and realizing how alone he is other than Morgana and his father probably heightened his need to be in the thick of the attack. His job is isolating and human contact happens often but never lingers.
This prolonged contact with Merlin has allowed friendship and more and the alcohol and the threat of losing everyone and this connection with Merlin pooled together to bring about this erotic encounter. I hope Arthur doesn't try to talk himself out of this in the morning. Merlin probably has him firmly slotted in the Future Husband slot. If he lets himself, I think Arthur would love to be there.
