Chapter 4
Arthur woke up to the sound of Merlin groaning "what happened?" Merlin asked trying to sit up in the small bed, Arthur moved behind him pulling him up to lean on his chest. "you fell over and hit your head, fell unconscious" Arthur explained pulling some hair away from Merlins eyes "oh I'm sorry" Merlin mumbled " you wouldn't wake up" Arthur whispered pulling Merlin closer into him, Merlin let his head fall onto his loves shoulder "I.. I thought you weren't going to wake up, I was scared I'd never see you open your eyes again" "I'm here now aren't I" Merlin kissed Arthur "you are and you have no idea how glad I am your awake" Arthur whimpered into the kiss. After hours of lazing about in bed Merlin suddenly had a flash back to how he'd hit his head in the 1st place. "Adianna is she ok?" Merlin asked looking at Arthur, Arthur just laughed "I wondered how long it would take you to remember" Arthur rested his head against Merlin's "that doesn't answer the question" Merlin pushed, Arthur sighed "she's fine, she woke up yesterday, she's with Callum now, their explaining her dreams to my father" "Arthur?" "Yes Merlin" "how long have I Been out for?" Arthur laughed "about 4 days" Merlin groaned.

For a family dinner this doesn't feel very family-ish Adianna though to herself. It had been 3 days since she woke up and 2 for Merlin, Uther had decided that he, Arthur, Morgona, Callum and Adianna should have dinner together, in order to get to know each other a little better. Adianna scoffed at the idea, she already knew Callum better than anyone, she knew enough about Arthur and Morgona to know she liked them, as for Uther she didn't like the way he looked at her. Merlin and Gwen were of course serving them tonight so if she really wanted to she could just start a conversation with them, well she could start one with Gwen, and Merlin on the other side was staring at Arthur, who in turn smiled back at Merlin. Callum seeing Adianna watching Merlin and Arthur started laughing. Uther turned to glare at Callum and he instantly stopped laughing. Arthur looked back other at Merlin standing in the corner with Gwen trying not to laugh. When Uther turned back to Morgona Adianna leaned closer to Callum "What?" she hissed, Callum just shook his head.
"So you mother, she is the Queen of the eastern Water islands" Uther asked, Adianna smiled and nodded "And what about your father?" Adianna shuddered, Arthur leant forward in his seat, Merlin took a protective step forward behind her and Callum pull her chin up to look him in the eyes "it's ok, you have nothing to fear" he whispered softly against her neck "I no longer have a father" Adianna whispered, tears she couldn't hold back slide down her face. Callum was the first to move, he pulled Adianna out of her chair and into his arms before he took her away from the room.
"WHAT was that?" Uther asked stunned, Arthur groaned "what's going on?" he demanded "I told you not to bring up her past but no you just had to didn't you" Arthur hissed "so her father died like yours Morgona?" Morgona looked away and shook her head "Father you don't understand her past scares her" Arthur stated. Uther looked over at Merlin who was obviously uncomfortable being here, he looked like he was about to bolt from the room after his friend "you" Uther called, Merlin spun around "you knew her before she come here" Merlin nodded "what about her past scares her" Merlins face paled "it's not my place" Merlin stumbled trying to walk away from Uthers glare. What he didn't notice was the piece of wood that he'd forgotten about on the floor. Merlin fell with a loud thump. Arthur was at his side in a second "honestly Merlin this has to be the second time you've fallen over since you woke up" Arthur tried to tease Merlin but a concerned loving tone was visible in his voice. A tone which Uther failed not to hear. "Sorry Arthur... sire" Merlin mumbled sitting up "you didn't hit you head again did you?" Arthur actually laughed this time pulling Merlin up to stand, Merlin glared but accepted the help "no I'm fine, now will you please let go I", not going to fall again" Morgona had to hold back a laugh at the two boys in front of her "good because I need you to do something for me" Merlin groaned forgetting he was in front of the king "I'll be leaving now it that's ok " Arthur turned to face Uther who nodded in return. Arthur walked out of the room with Merlin a step behind him. When they were far enough not to be heard Arthur turned to Merlin, pushing him against the wall kissing him until Merlin moaned "I have a surprise for you" Arthur breathed covering Merlin eyes and pulling him away.

Uther sat in his chair staring at the fire. Morgona has left his some time ago to sleep. As he watched the fire he couldn't help remember all the things he'd missed between his son and the servant boy. All the lasting looks, secret smiles, hidden touches. Uther shuddered at the thought that crept into his head. He stood from his seat and walked out the door, they were hiding something and he was going to find out what.

"Arthur where are we going?" Merlin asked trying to move his princes hands away from his eyes, "Now Merlin that would ruin the surprise" Arthur kissed his neck forcing Merlin forwards.
"Now" Arthur slowly moved his hands away from Merlins eyes and wrapping them around his waist "you can open your eyes". Merlin looked at the sight before him, stars shining above him, trees surrounding them and a lake that shone in the moonlight "Do you like it?" Arthur asked breathing on his lovers neck, Merlin shuddered " it's beautiful" "NO where near as you" Arthur licked, nibbled and kissed his way up and down Merlins neck "Arthur" Merlin moaned as Arthur lowered him to the ground . Shirts were torn off and Merlin traced his fingers along a scar on Arthur's stomach, Arthur moaned into the touch, ripping his fingers away Arthur marked his way over the moaning boy beneath him. "Arthurs please" Merlin begged, Arthur smiled and moved his hand downwards. In the distance Merlin heard a twig snap "what was that" he panicked pushing Arthur away "nothing just a deer or something" Arthur looked up at Merlin panicked face "Merlin were safe, no one knows were here" Arthur promised kissing Merlin again. Soon Merlin had forgotten about the twig, all he could do was breath and feel as Arthur moved within him. "Ar...Arthur...I...I loved you" Merlin panted before screaming for Arthur as pleasure took over him, Arthur fell over the edge screaming his love for Merlin. He pulled out of Merlin, holding his love in his arms he couldn't help smiling as he watched Merlin drift off to sleep.

Uther stood on the side lines hidden behind the tress watching as his son and his servant screamed each other's names in a blissful oblivion. He had felt like vomiting when he Arthur yelling his undying love for the boy. As he watched them sleep wrapped around each other he promised himself that the boy would never get with doing this to his son. Arthur he decided would be tolerate just this once but they servant would pay.
