The Magic of Law

by frap9473

Merlin just moved to L.A. where he got a job as senior-partner of Camelot law firm, Arthur Pendragon's assistant. Arthur's dad Uther owns and runs the firm. Arthur's illegitimate half-sister, Morgana, and her assistant Gwen both also work there. Merlin has to deal with the stress of his Magic, and his work.

Merlin Climbed off the plane, grabbed his luggage and ran out to the streets of L.A. He called for a cab, got in, and headed straight for his tiny little apartment.

Minutes later Merlin is leaving his apartment for four separate job interviews at different law firms. He blows all four, because the firms thought he was too kind-heated. but as hew was about to leave, he saw a Blonde guy around his age kicking out someone who seemed to be his now ex-assistant. Trying to hide Arthur couldn't help but notice the look of sadness on Merlin's face.

"You, with the shitty suit and weird, short, brown hair. Did you just get fired?" Arthur said, almost laughing as if it was funny. "Because if not I need a new assistant."

"I was just here for an interview. I blew it. But I don't think I am qualified as an assistant." Merlin said, slightly hoping for this strange man to ask a second time.

"I'll probably end up firing you by the end of the week anyway. When this is all done come to the top floor. I will be in my office." Arthur was smiling as he gave Merlin a list of things to do and went back up stairs after telling Merlin not to come back until everything is done. But Merlin was still questioning who the fuck this blonde man was. But Merlin had a job and he took it. He was an assistant to some guy at the Camelot law firm.

Merlin Spent an hour and a half walking and taking cabs to get all of the strange blonde man's chores. He then brought everything up to ?Arthur learning his name in the process. He gave all the stuff to Arthur. "Go home for the rest of the day, get nicer suits, and be ready for tomorrow. I have a lot of work today, and tomorrow."

"Ok, thanks for the job though. It was really kind of you." Merlin said as Uther, the boss and Arthur's father, walked up. He was silent until Merlin was out of earshot. So Merlin used his magic to listen to Arthur and Uther's conversation about him.

"Who the FUCK was that little shit! He looks like some sort of weird Christmas Elf. HE IS SHORT AND WEIRD! GET RID OF HIM!" Uther was shouting even though he didn't wan't Merlin to hear him.

Merlin was nervous leaving the building. He ran home and cried. While there he decided to change himself, to get better. He used magic to make his hair cooler, adjusted his suits to make them nicer, and spent a lot of time creating himself to be cooler.

He then slept, but woke up in a different bed, in a different apartment, in a different side of the city, with Arthur staring at him in a kind, but menacing way.
