Sadly I don't own Merlin. It belongs to the BBC.
Chapter four is up. It's just the epilogue to come after this. Thank you for the reviews. I love all.
Enjoy :D
Morgana opened her door and saw Gwen and Arthur stood there. After inviting them in and shutting the door behind her, Morgana turned and saw the look on Arthur's face. "Arthur? What's wrong?"
Gwen explained what just happened in the hallway with Merlin and Morgana started laughing.
"Arthur. He's winding you up. Merlin is my new neighbour."
"Really? Because how he was dressed, you'd think that he was being honest because no matter how early it is no-one gets up and puts their clothes on looking like he did. He's been out all night."
"He has." Morgana murmured.
"How do you know that Morgana?" Arthur asked.
Morgana tried to avoid answering Arthur's question but Gwen looked at Morgana.
"He wasn't coming out of his flat to get the paper was he? He was picking the paper up before going into his flat after spending the night here."
Arthur looked at Gwen. "Guinevere don be-" he broke off when he saw the look on Morgana's face. "She's right isn't she?"
Morgana cleared her throat before answering. "Yeah."
Arthur walked past Morgana and went out the door.
"Merlin." Morgana and Gwen said in unison looking at each other.
A couple of minutes later Arthur came back into Morgana's flat with Merlin. Arthur pushed Merlin in front of him then turned and shut the door behind him.
Merlin stumbled forward and managed to stop himself from bumping into Morgana.
Morgana looked at Merlin to see him wearing a pair of trousers, a shirt that was open; he had a towel in his hand. Morgana saw that his hair was wet. Obviously he not long got out of the shower when Arthur decided to bang on his door.
"Merlin are you alright?"
"I'm fine babe."
"Babe?" Arthur said looking at Merlin. "You spend one night with her and you're calling her babe?"
"Arthur, Merlin can call me whatever he likes, I'm his girlfriend."
"Since when?"
"This morning. He came round yesterday afternoon to introduce himself and we spent the afternoon talking. We've got a lot in common. Then last night, one thing led to another and, well. Anyway this morning after we woke up, I asked him to be my boyfriend and he said yes."
"So you like him?"
"Yes Arthur. I do."
Arthur walked up to Merlin. "If you hurt her in any way-"
"Don't worry Arthur. I wouldn't do anything to hurt Morgana. If you're worried because of what Steven did, don't be, the reason I moved was because my ex cheated on me. I know what's its like."
"Rebound." Arthur muttered.
Morgana stepped forward. "Oh don't you dare. Merlin is not with me because of that. Neither of us are on the rebound, but if one of us were, it would be me on the rebound. Not Merlin. He split up with his ex six weeks ago. I only broke up with Steven last week."
"Sorry Morgana."
"It's not me you should be apologising to."
Arthur looked at Merlin. "Sorry Merlin."
"What are you apologising for Arthur? Accusing Merlin of being on the rebound or for dragging him out of his flat for no reason?"
"Both."
Merlin grinned. "It's alright mate. You're only looking out for your sister. I can understand that." Merlin held his hand out and Arthur shook it. "Are you alright with me now?"
"I suppose."
"Arthur." Gwen said warningly. Arthur looked at Gwen before turning back to Merlin. "Yes."
Merlin nodded. "Right. I'm going to get back. I've still got quite a bit of unpacking to do." he kissed Morgana, said bye to Arthur and Gwen then left.
Arthur, Gwen and Morgana were about to sit down when they heard shouting outside followed by a loud bang. All three of them rushed to the door and opened it to see Steven lying on his back and Merlin on top of him, straddling him, punching him whenever he could as Steven had his arms up to hide his face. "Get the fuck off me stupid." Steven growled.
Morgana looked at Arthur. "Arthur get Merlin off him."
"Why?"
"Because he rang me up yesterday complaining that you broke his nose and that he would press charges but said he wouldn't because he thinks he owed me."
"What did he owe you?"
"He thinks that because I caught him cheating he owes me a favour and not pressing charges against you makes up for it."
"What?" Arthur said getting angry.
"Yes Arthur. Just get Merlin off him; I don't want Merlin getting arrested."
Arthur bent forwards, grabbed Merlin around his middle and threw him off Steven. "Calm him down." Arthur said to Morgana.
Morgana took Merlin to one side, pressed him back against the wall, put her hands on his face, kissed him then started to whisper in his ear.
Gwen looked at Merlin and saw that he started to relax a little.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Arthur shouted at Steven. "I told you yesterday that if you ever went near Morgana again then I'd do worse than break your nose."
"She's owes me an apology. She called me a tosser and slammed the phone down. No-one does that to me." Steven looked at Morgana and saw how she was with Merlin. "And how long as that been going on? It didn't take you long to find someone else."
Merlin looked over at Steven. "What do you expect her to do? Sit in her flat all day and cry over a worthless piece of shit like you Steven."
Arthur Gwen and Morgana looked at Merlin. "You know Steven?" Arthur asked.
"Yes. Six weeks ago, I come home from work early and who do I find in bed naked with my ex? Him."
"Six weeks ago he said he had a business trip."
"More like pleasure. Got caught though didn't you."
"It was a business trip. She's just someone I met there."
"Liar. After you left she told me everything because what's the point in lying further when you've already been caught. They met on the internet, swapped numbers, they kept meeting up, and when they weren't with each other they were forever on the phone with each other."
"Well you tackled me to the ground and gave me a few punches. I reckon we're even now."
"You-" Merlin escaped Morgana's arms and went to launch himself at Steven again only to be caught by Arthur. "Don't rise to it Merlin."
"You've had a round with Arthur, a round with me; unless you want round three, fuck off home now because Leon's on his way round." Steven lost a bit of colour in his face. "I'm going. See ya."
"I don't think so. You show your face around here again or bother Morgana with phone calls, you won't get beat up by me and Merlin separately, we'll bring this Leon along."
As if on cue, Leon stepped out of the lift and saw them all. "You." he said looking at Steven.
"Leon mate, leave him. It's been sorted." Steven quickly ran past Leon and went into the lift that Leon came out of.
When Leon walked up to them all, Morgana walked up to Merlin and put her arm around him. "So this is the Leon who said he was gay then quickly changed his mind when he saw me?"
Leon laughed. "I am." Leon saw how Morgana and Merlin were. "Blimey Merlin. You said you were going to go and introduce yourself."
"And I did, but one thing led to another."
"I bet it did. I'm sorry. Where are my manners? I'm Leon, Merlin's friend." he said holding his hand out to Arthur who shook it. " I'm Arthur. This is Guinevere my girlfriend."
"Hello Guinevere." Leon said smiling at her.
"Just Gwen."
"Oh sorry. Don't you like Guinevere?"
"Yeah, but I tell everyone to call me Gwen. Only Arthur calls me Guinevere." she explained.
After everyone had been introduced to each other. Merlin kissed Morgana again and went into his flat with Leon who came over to help him unpack.
When Morgana closed the door behind herself, Arthur and Gwen she sat down.
"He's alright he is." Arthur said as he sat on the settee across from Morgana.
"Who Merlin?"
"Yeah. He's stronger than he looks."
"Oh I know." Morgana said with a knowing smile.
"Ugh Morgana I don't wanna know." Arthur said pulling a disgusted face whilst Morgana and Gwen laughed.
