Chapter 2 ... Sorry it wasn't up sooner, had to read over some stuff again and make desisions and in the end i couldn't be arsed to change anything.

Enjoy :) :)

They had just arrived and sat down in their science class when Professor Bayard walked in.

"Right, I have paired the class up, and given you the priveledge of working with someone you will hopefully get on with, and do well with... So Merlin, you are with Morgana, Arthur, you are with Gwen, Gwaine and Elena, Leon with Freya,-" he went on to pair the entire class up.

For once, Gwen was actually happy, she had landed Arthur, a partner who would have patience with her.

Professor Bayard demonstrated an experiment he wanted the class to try. Arthur, because he couldn't help but wait on Gwen hand and foot, went and got everything they would need. Arthur was just as bad at science as Gwen was; they had both gotten Fs in the year 10 exams. Come to think of it, that may have been why Proffesor Bayard had stuck them together.

They had been meticulously following the instructions, but when Arthur put the last thing into the mix, the test-tube began bubbling, flowing over the top of the glass.

"Shit, i don't think it's meant to do that" Arthur said, his tone mildly worried.

"Oh my gosh!" Gwen laughed, "what did we do wrong?"

Arthur couldn't help but join is, as he tried to stop it overflowing and flooding the science bench.

"Arthur, Guinevere! What did you manage to do this time?" Proffesor Bayard shouted sounding very cross.-

When they arrived at Arthur and Morgana's house that evening, Merlin and Morgana dispersed up to Morgana's room as soon as the door was open.

"Well... virgin my arse, Merlin" Arthur laughed and turned to Gwen, "he told me that Morgana and he hadn't done anything yet..."

"Well, Morgana said they have," Gwen said rolling her eyes.

"Ah! Arthur!" A voice suddenly boomed. They turned to see Uther standing in the kitchen doorway with Ygraine.

"Dad, Mum, you scared me... wait, Mum, you are in the same room as Dad, has someone drugged you?"

"Not funny Arthur" Uther said disapprovingly.

"What? I'm only saying... you can't stand being in the same room as each other since you broke up"

"Well, we've been trying to sort things out over the last month or so... for the sake of our children..." Ygraine smiled.

"This sounds a bit worrying"

"You are getting a younger brother or sister" Uther finished.

For a few seconds Arthur was in a state of complete stony shock, no emotion registering on his face. As soon as what his father had said had really taken hold, complete and utter distress took over

.

"Oh no, no, that is wrong in just so many ways. I am leaving, never coming back. Gwen we're going." A pause, then, "When I say leaving, I don't mean home, I mean I am leaving this room. You two, I just cannot deal with right now."

Arthur strode out of the kitchen, and towards the huge staircase in the foyer. Half-way up, he looked back, checking to see if Gwen had followed.

"Congrats," Gwen said sarcastically, before turning around as well, and following Arthur out of the kitchen and up the main stairs. They walked down the long, what always felt like never ending, hallway passing the door to Morgana's rooms. Judging by the noise that was coming from their general direction, Gwen would not be convinced of any alledged virginity in the morning. They ventured further down hallway, until they reached Arthur's "Tower".

Arthur loved his room, it was nearly as if he had his own flat in the house. Passed the door, there was a living room, with an amazing sofa that he liked lying on with Gwen while watching films over the atrocious English summer weather. He had a 82 inch plasma screen television on the wall, amazing suround sound, and a huge bookshelf full of classic as well as new books.

One of the rooms adjacent to the living room was a room dubbed the "boys night/party room". The room had seen many a party since its christening, and hid the alcohol their 22 year old Cousin, Morgause, managed to get them well.

Next to the party room was the trophy room, which housed all of Arthur's copious football, rugby and judo trophies. He only really played football now, rugby had gotten too dangerous as he had gotten older, and judo became somewhat boring once Arthur had obtained all of the belts.

In the corner of the living room was one last door that housed a staircase leading up to another room, Arthur's favourite, his bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.

The kingsize bed was by far the best thing about his entire room, Arthur loved it. He valued it over even the walk-in wardrobe, the second huge television opposite the bed, as well as the ensuite with a huge shower and hot-tub.

Beside his bed, his wall was plastered with pictures of his time together with Gwen. A few were pictures of Merlin and himself, and some were of with Morgana and or the whole group of four. Hidden next to his bed, stuck on his bedside cabinet was his favourite picture with Gwen. It was taken when they had gone to the beach on the one sunny summers day with Morgana and Merlin. Gwen had stuck her hat onto Arthur's head and was kissing his cheek and Arthur had a joke sulky look on his face.

Gwen finally followed Arthur into his room. Arthur had already jumped onto his bed, and was hiding under his duvet.

"Arthur, get out!" Gwen laughed, sitting down next to where he was lzying.

"I am scarred for life, my parents had sex." Arthur said into his pillow.

"Yes, they did to make you and Morgana too," Gwen said as if she were talking to a toddler. Arthur sat up and looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Me and Morg are twins, I fully and whole heartedly believe that they only did it once and happened to concieve me and Morgana, I will not believe that it was ever a regular occurence. That would just be wrong in so many thousand ways."

Gwen knew there was no arguing at this point, and indulgingly smiled at Arthur, shaking her head.

"You are just warped, rich boy."

"I'm not a rich boy, I just have more life advantages than others."

"Nope, you're just a rich boy. My rich boy," Gwen giggled, as Arthur leaned forward towards her and pressed his lips against hers.

Gwen then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed Arthur back as she felt Arthur pushing her backwards until she was lying down on his bed. Arthur had his hand on Gwen's waist and slowly ran it up until he reached where the bottom of her bra was under her school shirt. He attempted to move his hand further, when Gwen realised exactly what he was doing, and grabbed his hand moving it back to her waist without breaking their kiss.

"Gwe-en!" Arthur moaned pulling away, "come on-"

"Arthur... you know I'm not ready yet," Gwen whispered seeing how obviously frustrated Arthur was getting.

"I know, I'm sorry Gwen," Arthur said sitting up on his bed, "I don't want you to feel pressured..."

Gwen was determined to get him to wait for a little while. She wanted to be 16 before she had sex. Arthur would be 16 before her, so in that respect, it would be fine. What Gwen didn't know was that Arthur wasn't a virgin. He may have had feelings for Gwen since they were kids but when he turned 15 he had slept with Sophia, in a vain hope to get over Gwen, and it hadn't worked. He was glad it hadn't worked now that they were together, he just wished he could get past first base with her, seeing as bloody Merlin was miles ahead, already having sex. Merlin and Morgana had only been together for about four weeks (as wrong as that was to Arthur), while he had been with Gwen for six weeks. Although both six and four weeks were a small time, that was beside the point for Arthur.

"Just be patient Arthur," Gwen started, "I promise you won't have to wait long."

They were going to go down to Arthur's living room to watch some television, but couldn't be bothered to move so they cuddled up and watched some something in his bedroom.

They had been watching "Pointless" when Arthur's phone rang.

"Yo!" He said, "Lance, hey how're you doing mate?"

- "Hey, I'm fine, what' you doing?"

"Gwen is here..."

- "You got past first base yet?"

"No."

- "What? Dude, come on! Get a move on!"

"Oh shut up."

- "Anyway I was going to ask if you wanted to come 'round for a bit but seeing as you are trying to get into Gwen's pants I'll leave it-"

"Alright, be quiet will you, bye" Arthur hung up the phone and put it down on his floor.

"What did Lance want?" Gwen asked.

"Was asking if I wanted to go round for a bit, but he said it's fine," Arthur said smiling, leaning over to kiss Gwen. Within seconds they were lying back down on his bed making out in the way 15 year olds did, when suddenly, they heard the buzzer by his door ring. Arthur looked up from where he was lying with Gwen and rolled his eyes, rolling sideways off his bed to go over to the buzzer.

"What!" He barked.

"Master Arthur, your dinner is ready." It was Hunith, Merlin's mum, she had been working as the Pendragon's cook since Arthur and Morgana were about two years old. Merlin usually spent most of his evenings at the Pendragon house which helped build up their strong friendship.

"Oh thanks Hunith!" Arthur said, and hung up the buzzer, "come on, our dinner is ready."

They ate their dinner together with Merlin and Morgana and were having a laugh when Ygraine walked in the room.

"Mum!" Morgana said seeing her, "hey!"

"Hi sweetie, you alright?"

"I'm fine, what are you doing here Mum?" Morgana asked.

"Oh no not again" Arthur said, putting his knife and fork down to put his fingers in his ears.

Ygraine slapped his hands away from his ears, "Arthur, table manners," she snapped, then turned back to Morgana. "Your Father and I are back together, and I am having another baby."

Morgana dropped her fork on her plate with a loud clatter.

"You have got to be kidding!" Morgana shouted, "that cannot be true!"

"I know right!" Arthur said, "I am so glad you agree."

"Firstly, it's not fair, secondly it's gross, thirdly it's not fair and fourth I don't want another brat in the house, we already have Arthur!" Morgana shouted.

"Hey! I'm the same age as you!" Arthur defended.

"Yes, but girls are two years more mature than boys," Gwen pitched in.

"Thanks Gwen." Arthur sighed rolling his eyes.

October -

A few weeks passed, and Vivian had reached new levels of annoying when trying to split up Arthur and Guinevere. They weren't having any of it.

They purposefully partook in very public displays of affection when they knew Vivian was around, who proceeded to storm past them in anger.

Vivian had managed to befriend Sophia as some sort of aide. They had never been friends at school, so their apparent best friends status left quite a few people mystified.

At one particularly eventful school dinner, Arthur and Guinevere were in the line to get their lunch with Morgana and Merlin directly in front of them taking PDA to new hights.

"Oy!" Arthur snapped and slapped Merlin around the head, "don't want to see anybody making out at lunch-time, never mind my best friend and my twin sister!"

"Alright grumpy breeches! What's got your balls in a twist?" Merlin asked.

"He's been grumpy all morning, he came down for breakfast in a terrible mood." Morgana said rolling her eyes.

They got their dinner and were about to walk over to their usual table. They hadn't, however, noticed Sophia hiding behind one of the walls. After Merlin and Morgana passed by, she stuck her foot out to trip Guinevere. Guinevere went flying, and landed face down in her dinner.

"Oh my god, you okay baby?" Arthur asked as Gwen got up. She wiped the worst of the bolognaise off her face and turned to see Sophia and Vivian grinning.

"You absolute bitches!" she screamed and stormed after them as they set off running.

"What has just happened?" Morgana asked as she walked back over with Merlin.

"Vivian and Sophia happened." Arthur said, running after Gwen. Too late, she had already caught up, and had Vivian against the wall by her neck, Sophia trying to help her friend.

"You can't just accept that I am with him, can you? He never liked you Vivian, and he certainly never will, you despicable person. Just get. The. Hell. Over. It!" Gwen boomed across the hall.

"Have you even had sex with him yet?" Sophia asked giggling, pulling Gwen to the floor, away from Vivian, "I got that far with him in year 10... did he not tell you?"

Guinevere stood up and pushed Sophia into the wall.

"You are both so foul!" She screamed, and stormed off past Arthur, attempting to take her hand, and straight to the toilets.

"She's right, you are both foul." Arthur said, and walked back into the canteen. This would take a lot of explaining to iron out, he could tell. Of course he hadn't told her about Sophia.

They were waiting for the busses and Gwen was very quiet, she hadn't spoken to Arthur once since the incident at lunch.

"Gwen," Arthur said, "why are you ignoring me?"

"You know why!" Gwen snapped back instantly.

"Is this about Sophia?"

"I repeat, you know." Guinevere said stone cold.

"God Gwen, seriously, it was like 11 months ago..."

"It still happened Arthur!"

"Yes and do you want to know why it did happen? I was trying my best to get over you, it was because of you!"

"What!" Gwen shouted.

"Ooh" Merlin and Morgana said in sync, Morgana trying not to laugh, hugging Merlin to hide her mirthful face in the crook of his neck.

"I didn't mean it like that, I've had feelings for you since we were kids. It felt like nothing would ever happen between us. I thought I had to try get over you, otherwise I would go crazy. Of course it didn't help at all and I told Sophia it wasn't going to happen ever again." Arthur explained.

"Well done." Merlin whispered to him.

"My boyfriend lost his virginity to one of my enemies!" Gwen shouted and slapped him round the face, "I want to hate you!"

"I am sorry, I'm yours okay, you are my girlfriend, I regret everything I ever said or did with anyone else, I want to be with you, nobody else, ok?" Arthur said looking down at Gwen with the look he knew worked everytime.

Gwen threw her arms around his neck and attatched her mouth to his.

"Wow that was a quick fall out!" Morgana exclaimed, lifting her head to see them kissing.

"Guys, the bus is coming, I can see it..." Merlin trailed off, as they didn't seem to be listening at all. Merlin looked around, and saw Vivian further down the queue, who had obviously having just seen the performance. Merlin nudged Morgana, and the duo then proceeded to wave at her with huge grins on their faces.
