Sadly I do not own Merlin. It belongs to the BBC.
This is AU. I'm a bit nervous about this one. Let me know if I should continue.
Hope you like reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
Enjoy.
As she sat looking out of the window at the rain all she could feel was misery. It was the middle of July and Morgana couldn't believe it was raining in the middle of summer.
As she looked out of the window into the garden, she remembered the things she had been doing in the garden with her family and friends on that very hot day just six weeks ago. Her step dad, Uther, was at the BBQ with his big chefs' hat on, her mum Elaina was helping Uther whilst dancing along to music, her step brother Arthur and his friend Merlin were in their swimsuits with their water guns wetting each other whilst laughing.
Morgana with her best friend Gwen, listening to music, seeing what to put on next, Gwen would hit Morgana playfully on the head with a rolled up magazine "ouch, what was that for? That hurt."
"Stop staring at Merlin before him or anyone else finds out that you fancy him."
"Sorry, I didn't realise I was staring again. What about you?"
"What about me? I don't fancy Merlin."
"Who do you fancy?"
"Hello? Morgana? Morgana? OI." Morgana got pulled back into the present; she turned around and saw Arthur stood there looking at her with a grin on his face. "Why are you watching the rain?" he asked. "Just daydreaming." she sighed.
Arthur crouched down beside her so that they were face to face. "About Merlin?" he whispered and he stood up laughing at the shocked look on her face. "Don't worry, your secret's safe with me. How long have you liked him?"
"A while."
Arthur grinned at her "I'll see you later." and he walked away leaving her sat there.
How did he know? Gwen said she wouldn't say anything, but with her coming around later, she could ask her.
Just then there was a knock at the door, Morgana looked out of the window and saw it was Merlin, butterflies in her stomach she ran downstairs shouting "I'll get it," quickly checking herself in the mirror, she answered the door. "You alright Merlin?" she said smiling.
"Yeah, you?"
"Oh yeah, I'm fine."
"Oh good," he said smiling back "um, do you mind if I come in cos I'm getting wet."
"Oh, yeah, sorry,' she said stepping back to let him in. "Arthur is in the kitchen, but you can go on up, there are some towels in the bathroom if you want to dry yourself off."
"Oh, ok, thanks Morgana' and he went running upstairs as Arthur came walking out of the kitchen.
"Now I can't read minds, but I bet you're either thinking 'oo he looks so good in a wet shirt' or 'I'd love to help him get dry' am I right?" Morgana started to go red in the cheeks. "Ah your blushing, I am right." Arthur said laughing as he walked past her to go upstairs.
She leaned back against the door when there was a banging on the door that made her jump forward, she spun round and opened the door and saw Gwen stood there. "Hi Mo-' Morgana grabbed Gwen and pulled her inside.
"Bedroom quickly," running upstairs, Morgana's mum was just coming down. "Afternoon Mrs P." Panting, she caught up with Morgana in her bedroom and shut the door "what's up with you? You nearly strangled me,"
"Sorry Gwen it's just that, Arthur knows that I like Merlin."
She said the last bit in whisper, "did you tell him?" Gwen walked over to Morgana and sat down next to her. "Of course I didn't, I said I wouldn't tell anyone and I haven't."
Morgana looked at Gwen and smiled. "That smile doesn't look too convincing Morgana."
"Sorry, it's just that, if you didn't tell Arthur and I didn't tell Arthur, who did?"
"No-one told Arthur, he probably figured it out his self cos whenever Merlin is around, your jaw drops to the floor and you do nothing but stare."
"Well yeah." Morgana sighed.
Gwen smiled. "Anyway, we've got the rest of the afternoon, what do you wanna do?"
Morgana was about to answer when her step dad shouted upstairs. "ARTHUR, MORGANA, COME DOWNSTAIRS, YOUR MOTHER AND I WOULD LIKE A WORD, FRIENDS WILL HAVE TO GO HOME."
Morgana left her room with Gwen. "Something must have happened; I'll text you later and let you know." As they reached the front door, Arthur and Merlin came walking downstairs. Arthur said bye to Merlin and grinned at Gwen as he walked past. "Why did Arthur grin at you like that?"
Gwen opened the front door. "I didn't know he did."
Just as Morgana was about to reply, Uther shouted from the living room. "MORGANA. WHAT'S KEEPING YOU?" Morgana rolled her eyes. "COMING. See you later Gwen see you Merlin."
"See you Morgana."
She shut the door behind them and walked into the living room and found Arthur sat on the settee and mum and step dad stood in front of the fireplace, Morgana looked at her mum and saw that she was crying.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"Morgana sit down." said Uther, when she sat down Uther cleared his throat. "Your Aunt has been on the phone and Your Uncle Tristan is in Hospital."
"Eh?"
"What's happened?"
"Your Aunt said he was involved in a car accident on his way to work."
"Will he be alright?"
"We don't know," sighed Uther.
Morgana stood up again "Who wants a drink?" she said walking out of the room. Uther looked at Arthur. "Elaina and I are going to pack a bag and stay with your Aunt for a while. I know it's your 21st in a couple of days, we'll try and sort something out."
"No, it's alright, don't worry about it." Elaina looked at Arthur. "You're a good lad, I'm going to go and pack." and she left the room.
Arthur looked up at his dad. "I'll go and see if Morgana's alright." he said standing up and leaving the room.
"Morgana."
"Yeah?" she said turning around in her chair.
Arthur looked at her and saw that her eyes were red and puffy. He put his arms up. "Come here."
Morgana stood up and walked over to Arthur and hugged him.
After five minutes, Arthur let go of Morgana and made two hot drinks before walking back into the living room with Morgana behind him. "Here you are go, dad, Elaina' he said, handing them both a cup, he sat down. "When are you leaving?"
"Once we've drank this." said Uther.
After they drank their drinks they went into the hallway to get their coats. "Are you sure you two will be alright here on your own, because I know what you two are sometimes like and I would like to come back and find the house still standing." said Elaina.
Morgana smiled. "We'll be fine mum. Now get going." Elaina gave Arthur and Morgana a hug whilst Uther was putting their luggage in the car. "COME ON ELAINA, WE HAVE TO GET GOING NOW IF WE WANT TO MISS THE TRAFFIC. SEE YOU SOON YOU TWO. AND BEHAVE." Uther shouted.
Elaina gave Arthur and Morgana one last hug before running to the car. Arthur and Morgana watched as Uther reversed out of the driveway and drove off. Once the car was out of sight Arthur shut the door.
Well? Should I continue?
