Ok this is going to be the longest fanfic I have ever written. It's a slash so be warned. Um I know this first chapter may not seem very dark or depressing g but believe me it will be soon. Also Uthers a major jerk in this. Finally I don't own Merlin or any of the characters I do however own Callum and Adianna. I'm not gonna describe then in the story so I will now Callum is basically Ben Barnes (prince Caspian) and Adianna is about the same height as Susan from Narnia but she has red hair and brown eyes.
Chapter one
The stars where sighing through their window. Arthur ran his fingers through the dark hair of the body next to him who mumbled something and wrapped their arms around his chest tighter around his chest, Arthur could stop the laugh that escaped "Merlin I know I'm as strong as you but that doesn't mean I'm you personal bear the cuddle up to whenever you want to "he teased, Merlin looked away "sorry sire" he murmured as he tried to pull away but Arthur held him down "don't be" he whispered before kissing Merlins lips in a attempt to show him how much Arthur loved the idiot. They lay like this wrapped in each other's arms until the sun began to rise. Arthur was confused at times like this usually all Merlin could do was talk about anything and everything, but now he was silent he hadn't said a word since his mumbled apology from before .This could only mean one thing.
"Merlin what's wrong?"Arthur asked kissing his was down merlins neck "nothing" Merlin gasped as Arthurs nicked the curse between his neck and shoulders "Arthur stop" Merlin said pushing him away, Arthur caught Merlins chin and pulled his face to look at him in the eyes "Merlin what is it" he was being to worry now, there was something defiantly up with Merlin "nothing Arthur" Merlin using Arthurs name like this usually meant he wanted to drop the subject but Arthur kept pushing "Merlin" he look at the boy's eyes "please tell me" Merlin sighed and fell back down onto the bed " don't you ever get worried?" Merlin asked "about what?" Arthur asked confused "anything, everything, that Uther could find out about my magic, that he could walk through that door at any minute and" Merlin shuddered at the thought. Arthur pulled him into his chest, this was Merlins biggest fear and Arthur knew it "sshh it's ok that's never gonna happen" Arthur comforted him "how do you know that?" "Because" Arthur stated "I won't let it" he promised as the two drifted off to a dreamless sleep.
They woke up later to a bell ringing and a man yelling "the prince has returned". Arthur rushed to get his cloths back on the whole time smiling "oh come on Merlin hurry up" he yelled before grabbing the confused warlock and bolting from the room. Arthur dragged Merlin across the court yard and into the stables. "What are we doing" Merlin asked "Waiting" Arthur answered and pushed Merlin behind a wall. Soon enough they heard a horse walking towards them. Arthur stepped out from his hiding spot when the rider jumped off the horse "you took your time coming back" he called and the other man looked at him "Arthur" he stated "Callum" replied. The two started at each other for seconds that felt like hours until they both started laughing and hugged each other. Merlin looked at the other man, he had longish brown hair and dark eyes but his skin was light. Merlin was pulled out if his trance when Arthur called him "Merlin this is my brother Callum "he explained. Merlin just stood there shocked "I... I didn't know you had a brother "he shook his head, Callum laughed "yeah well the king doesn't like to talk about his little barstard son... not when he's got his first born prat over here" he laughed pointing at Arthur who just rolled his eyes and looked at the person standing behind Callum "so who's this?" he asked, the girl looked up "MERLIN" she screamed and lunged herself at him, Merlin looked up a second before the girl was hugging him "ADIANNA" he laughed picking her up and spinning around. "Where have you been?" "What are you doing here" "I looked for you for years". Arthur cleared his throat and they looked up at the two stunned princes, "Adianna lived in my village until she was adopted by a travelling lady" Merlin explained moving back to Arthur, "who turned out to be a queen" Adianna called moving taking Callum hand "Merlin was my only friend everyone else though I was a freak" "you where" Merlin teased eyeing the dark purple dress she was wearing with rips on the bottom that Adianna had obviously done herself "I see some things never change" Merlin ducked behind Arthur who just laughed at the glares that Merlin was getting off Callum and Adianna.
They walked back to Arthurs chambers and after hours or talking Arthur finally asked "why did you come back Callum what are you doing here?"Callum looked at Adianna and reached for her hand who smiled and moved closer to him, "where getting married" Callum smiled and stroked some hair from Adianna's eyes.
