chapter1 Prolouge
Arthur Pendragon. The hot and rich Arthur. The Arthur who had so many clothing lines named after him. The one that had possibly every car that was ever made. The Arthur who's father Uther Pendragon owned every huge business in town.
Merlin couldn't belive it. When he had first met Arthur, he thought Arthur would just want him as a one night stand. But no. Merlin had totally misread the blond man. Arthur and he had been seeing each other for three years.
Thats why last night was the most happiest night for Merlin.
The poor, skinny, pale skinned, big eared kid who everyone always found as a good joke. Merlin who tripped over his own feet every other hour. Merlin who...
You get the idea.
These two were complete opisites. Thats why Merlin stared happily at the bathroom mirror at the moment. He took a deep breath, then stood up straight.
"I do." He smiled.
"I, Merlin Emrys take you Arthur Pendragon..." He sighed. 'Too original." Merlin stared down at his hand. The ring Arthur layed there last night shining bright in the sunshine that came in through the bathroom window.
Merlin smiled. "I Merlin Emrys promise to love and honor and obey you, Arthur Pendragon." He stared back up at the mirror and smiled. "Till the day I die. And even after that."
Merlin inhaled then walked out of the bathroom.
Morgana, Arthurs sister sat on the couch. The beautiful woman stood on her feet and scowled. "Merlin. You told me you needed me. That it was important. You can't say you called me to watch you go into the b-" She froze and gasped when Merlin help up his hand. The ring still shining bright.
Morgana turned from the ring to Merlin. "Is that..."
Merlin nodded.
"Arthur proposed?"
Merlin nodded again, a bigger smile on his face.
Morganas mouth opened. Then her brows narrowed. "I'll kill him."
Merlins smile faded. "What?"
The dark haired woman crossed her arms. "He's had lunch with me every day this week and he never once let me in on his secret."
Merlin chuckled.
Morgana shook her head. "Wait until I get my hands on him."
Merlin smiled. "Just be careful. I want Arthur to be alive during our wedding."
Morgana nodded. "I promise. Not even a scar." Then she smirked. "Where people can see."
Merlin laughed and shook his head. "Will you help with the wedding?" He asked.
Morgana walked up to him and gave him a hug. "Of course. What kind of sister in law will I be, if I didn't help?"
Merlin smiled for a moment before frowning. "Just don't tell Uther."
"Oh." Morgana breathed. "Haven't told the big U yet. Huh?"
"Arthur wants us to get together for lunch today. Thats where i'm going in about an hour. So please, don't let anything slip." Merlin said. Remembering the way Uther had acted when Arthur had first introduced Merlin as his boyfriend.
Uther had launched at Merlin, trying to wrap his arms around his throat.
The brunet nodded. "My lipsss are sealed."
XOXOXOXO
Morgana pulled Merlin into the expensive resturant. "Come on. Stop being such a chicken. Arthurs here. He loves you. The prove is on your finger."
Merlin froze. "Wait." He pulled the ring off his finger and stuck it in his pocket. "Can't let anything slip." He explained at Morganas confused look.
The woman nodded again. The turned to the waiter. "Pendragon."
The waiter nodded. 'This way, Miss." The waiter led them to a table where Arthur and Uther were sitting at.
Merlin led out a sigh of relife as Arthur stood up from his seat and walked over to him. "Hi, babe." He whispered and kissed Merlin on the cheek. Merlins eyes trailed to Uther who was too busy greeting Morgana. And Merlin couldn't help but sigh in relife again, knowing that Uther didn't see Arthur.
Arthur pulled out the chair next to his and Merlin sat down.
Uther did the same for Morgana. "I already ordered." The man said.
"What'd you get?" Morgana asked.
"The pasta with fish a side of salad."
"I'm alergic to seafood." Merlin said.
Uther glared. "I was talking to my daughter."
Merlin looked at the table and frowned.
Arthur brought his hand to Merlins at seeing how sad he looked. "Don't worry." He whispered. "I got us the chicken."
Merlin gave a small smile. "Thank you." He said low.
Arthur nodded. He stared at Merlins blue eyes and couldn't help but smile. Merlin always made Arthur feel that way. Like a giggly school girl of twelve.
Not only that, but there was the fact that Merlin was kind and gentle. Not to mention Arthurs bet friend. And even though Merlin wasn't a genius, he had his moments.
And even though Merlin wasn't rich, Arthur knew the 22 year old wasn't using him for his money. Because Merlin never asked for anything.
If Arthur said 'lets go for lunch'. Merlin would say, 'lets order pizza'. He never asked for any money borrowed and he never gave any sign of asking either.
And thats what Arthur wanted. Someone who wasn't self fish, who he could share what he has with and know that person wouldn't take more than they deserved.
But that was another thing. To Arthur, Merlin deserved everything.
Merlin turned to Arthur, who looked deep in thought. Merlin leaned in close to Arthur. "Are you ok?" He asked.
Arthur smiled. "Are you?"
Merlin shrugged and glanced at Uther. "How are we going to-"
"SO, Arthur son. what's new? Any knew plans for your new business?" Uther interupted purposly.
Merlin turned to Arthur. "Business?"
Arthur nodded. "I was going to tell you when the time was right. Thank you very much, Father." Arthur said sarcasticly.
"Oh. I ruined a surprise." Uther said. Then smiled.
But Merlin wasn't paying attention. He smiled at Arthur. "Tell me."
Arthur blinked and smiled. "No thanks, Merlin. Thats news for you and I only. When we're are alone." He glared at Uther. "And began spending our new life together."
Morgana raised her eyebrows. "Uh, Arthur-"
"I think it's time for you to start treating Merlin like he exsists." Arthur growled at Uther. "I've told you before, he's the one. And if thats not prove enough..." Arthur grabbed Merlins hand.
"Where is it?" He asked.
"In my pocket. But Arthur, I-I thought we-"
"Put it on, Merlin." Arthur ordered.
Merlin glanced at Uther.
"Don't worry about him, Merlin. I have my own business's. I don't need anything from him."
Uther glared at Arthur. "What the hell is going on?"
Merlin dug in his pocket. He slowly handed Arthur the ring.
Arthur grabbed it and slid it on Merlins finger.
Uthers eyes widen as he stared at Merlins finger.
Arthur got up from his seat. "I think it's time you start treating Merlin as family. Because thats what he is." Arthur gently grabbed Merlins hand and pulled him out of the seat. "We're getting married. Wether you are there or not."
"Lets go, Merlin."
Merlin stared at Uther as Arthur pulled him out of the resturant.
Uther stared with his top lip curled in disgust and his brows narrowed at Merlin.
