A/N: Hello Everyone! This is my first time writing fan-fiction and actual posting it, so please excuse any grammatical errors. This is a one-shot btw so don't expect anymore. Also i don't own Merlin or any of the characters and I'm in no way shape or form making profit from this.
"You should leave Emrys alone. He has a lot of people looking out for him."
Arthur startled as the petite black haired women appeared from nowhere. He still didn't understand why he couldn't be with the warlock, but every time he asked he just got the same old warning, which for his part he just ignored.
"Yes Freya, you've told me for the last month that if I don't leave Merlin alone I would face a very terrible fate. Now that you've warned me again you can leave." And with that Arthur went back to his paperwork, after all the museum didn't run itself.
"Why don't you take Freya's word and leave emrys alone? Nothing good will come out of it."
Arthur really shouldn't have been surprised that his half-sister would come and pester him. Ever since they got their memories back, all the sorcerers he knew were seeking him out and telling him to leave Merlin alone, which Arthur wouldn't do. He simply loved the warlock too much. And out of everyone he wasn't afraid to tell Morgana off.
"You aren't one to talk Morgana. You've been attached to Merlin since you first met him and even after the memories came back you still wouldn't leave him alone." Arthur was satisfied when he heard her indignant huff. And froze at her next response.
"That may be true, dear brother But you forget that I have Guenevere, which is why no one is warning me. My heart is Guenevere's first and foremost, emrys is just like my little brother that I never properly protected."
And Arthur cursed when he realized his sister left, getting in the last word as always. He was also insulted because Morgana had just admitted to him that she saw Merlin as more of a brother than him.
"Sir, you really need to take your sisters advice and leave Merlin alone."
"Leon not you too, next you're going to tell me all the knights are going to call for a meeting and tell me to leave Merlin alone, is that it?"
"..."
"You have got to be kidding me. When's the meeting, Leon?"
"Tomorrow night after work, sir."
"Very well, thank you Leon, you may leave."
Leon didn't need to be told twice. He bowed before running out of Arthur's office. He had a 'meeting' with lance anyway.
Arthur sat down at the head of the table that was situated in one of the bigger meeting rooms in the museum, with Leon on his right and Lancelot on his left. The rest of the knights were scattered at random. And it wasn't surprising that Gwaine was the first to speak.
"You need to leave Merlin alone mate. It won't end well for you." Gwaine paused for a second, before becoming his usual blunt self again. "Has he even reciprocated your feelings mate? Cause if he hasn't, you really need to leave him alone."
And to Arthurs shock Percival was the one who spoke next. "Gwaine is right, if Merlin hasn't shown any interest, you should leave him be. He has already sacrificed much for you, you shouldn't force him into anything just to satisfy you, sir."
Arthur let out a heavy sigh before speaking. "I will tell all of you this now, I'm not going to talk about my love life to any of you, and if you bring it up again I will let Morgana rip you a new one, are we clear?" He was glad to see the somewhat pale faces of his friend's, they deserved it. He also remembered something else too.
"Also someone please get gwaine some alcohol, he's too serious right now for my liking."
And with that he stood up and left.
It was a peaceful Saturday morning and Arthur was enjoying every bit of it, since he had a meeting that afternoon. So he was somewhat surprised at the knock on his door, mainly because he hadn't been expecting anyone to come over.
Morgana usually just used magic to barge in like she owned the place with Gwen following behind offering apologies for her girlfriend not knowing any manners.
All of the knight as they've dubbed themselves had their own key, but would text Arthur before coming over.
And Merlin... well Arthur wasn't sure why but Merlin always refused to come to his place, even if other people were going to be there.
So with a somewhat confused face he went to the door and was surprised at the face he saw on the other side. For it was none other than Mordred, and while it had taken Arthur a while to accept him again, he now viewed Mordred as a little brother.
"Arthur i need to talk to you, it's about Emrys." and just with that simple sentence Arthur was beyond annoyed and it wasn't even lunch yet.
"If you're here to warn me about getting close to Merlin, don't bother. I've heard from it everyone and no one will change my mind." and no Arthur did not squeak when Mordred shoved him against the wall with magic while simultaneously shutting and locking his door.
"Listen hear Arthur pendragon and listen well. Merlin is MINE. He has been ever since he saved me as a little druid boy, who was about to get executed. Didn't you ever wonder why he could never reciprocate your feelings? Well it's because of me. But because of his friendship with you i will warn you only once. Leave him alone."
And with that Mordred turned and stormed out of the former king's house, leaving behind a very startled and somewhat terrified young man (Not that he would ever admit that to anyone.) Arthur vowed to himself that any warnings his friends had in the future, he would take more seriously.
"Morgana, i know you only wish to protect me but you didn't have to go tell Mordred." Merlin sighed as he peered up at the women who's lap he was currently using as a pillow.
"Well I couldn't very well let Arthur try something when you obviously don't feel the same way. And this way you aren't hurting anybody's feelings." Morgana couldn't help but smile down at the man she considered her real brother. Ever since her memories came back both Mordred and Merlin had taken to helping her control her new found powers, and she would be lying if she said she wasn't happy for it.
Both were startled out of their thoughts by the door slamming shut. Morgana looked apologetically down at Merlin before teleporting out of the shared apartment. Merlin just sighed before sitting up and waiting for his boyfriend to enter the living room. And he didn't disappoint.
"Why didn't you tell me!? I know that you view that stuck up king as a friend but you know how i feel about the two of you. No matter what, he always forgets your taken!"
Merlin waited for his boyfriend to be immersed in his rant before approaching him.
Mordred was shaken out of his tirade by two arms intertwining around his waist and kisses being planted along his neck. And just like that he forgot what he was upset about. He turned around and wrapped his arms around Merlin's waist and pulled him closer before crushing their lips together.
Emrys was his.
A/N: So again, this is my first story published. I have another on the way. It's a skip beat fanfic, but i hope you'll read it! I hope everyone likes this short one-shot, and I'm sorry there isn't more Merlin, but this plot bunny wanted to be written...And written it was. Please R&R!
Ja Na!
