Chapter 10
It has been a week since Merlin saw Arthur. They tried not to mention him even Rosalie and Bradley thought it was a good idea when Merlin told them. The three of them thought that for Morgana to get over the incident they would have to not mention anything to do with Uther.
Everyone had seen a change in Morgana when everything started to calm down. She was going back to her self before Arthur came. Even the people at school were telling Merlin when he went how she changed. It made him smile because it showed that she really believed him when he said that he wouldn't leave.
It was now Christmas. They had spent the entire day with Rosalie and Bradley due to they have no family or are not particularly close. They had all got each other numerous amounts of gifts but the gift that stood out to Morgana was the gold pendent that Merlin brought her. Inside was a picture of the two of them taken on the day she moved in. Merlin had one last surprise for her but he had to do it alone. When the sun finally set and the stars were out Bradley and Rosalie wished him luck and left.
Morgana was sat on the couch and after he closed the door behind their friends her walked over to her and said "stand up".
She narrowed her eyes and said "why?"
"I want to show you something". She stood up and placed her hand in his. The next thing she knew Merlin's eyes turned gold as he said "Bedyrne us! Astyre us banonweard!"
They were engulfed with a gust of wind and when it cleared they were stood in the snow at the top of a cliff above London. She glared at Merlin and said "if you wanted me to freeze to death, then mission won. Can we please go home now?"
He laughed and said "what I have to show you is much more important". His eyes flashed gold and a fire set up in front of them to keep her warm.
She smiled and said "thank you. Now what did you want to show me?"
"Look up there" he pointed towards the sky.
She looked up and frowned "there's nothing there. Merlin, I can't" and that when it begun. Meteors began to fly past them and it made a nice show. She smiled and said "A meteor shower".
As she looked up he walked next to her. He placed his hand in hers and said "this is the biggest Meteor shower that has ever happen. There is only one that has ever compared to it, do you know which one?" she shook her head "the day I saw you".
She looked at him as the show continued and said "you remember?"
"Of course I do. There may have been an execution going on but all that caught my eye was you. When our eyes met I felt like the happiest man in the world" she laughed "did you mean what you said when you said you would be happy with me forever".
She pulled him close and wrapped her arms around his neck "of course I did".
"Then be happy now" she gave him a confused look as he moved out of her reach.
He held up his hand in the air towards the meteor shower and said a spell. A star in the sky started to fall and Morgana was worried. It slowed down as it came closer but when she really looked it landed in Merlin's hands. With a spell the brightness went down and Morgana gasped as she saw a ring. It was a gold band which had a diamond (star) in the centre and two small emeralds at the sides. She gasped as he got down on one knee and said "I've loved you since the moment I laid eyes on you. I am a completely different man around you, a better one. Please will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"
Tears threatened to fall. She dragged him by his shirt to stand and kissed him. At this moment they didn't care what was going on around them. The meteor shower was forgotten but made a nice view in the background. They were in their own little world. When they pulled away they rested their foreheads against each other and she said "did you really just bring down a star for me?"
"It's a unique ring for a unique woman. So what do you say? Is it a yes?"
She put on a thinking face which made him worry. She laughed at his reaction and said "yes, without a moment thought". As she looked at the ring he placed on her finger she looked on the inside and could see that it said `always and forever" on the inside.
They were quickly glued to each others faces and Merlin soon said the spell to take them home. He didn't know if Morgana noticed where they were but she wrapped her legs around his waist and carried her to their room. Soon their clothes were lost and he was inside of her.
For the next few days they barely left each others side or even bed for that matter. When they finally did they told Rosalie and Bradley the good news and they were ecstatic. They knew what Merlin was planning and by their reaction Morgana knew that. She confronted them about it and they said that he was working on the spell for weeks and couldn't get it right. They said that he wanted it to be on that date due to the meteor shower and just hoped being with her, his magic would work. When she was told this it made the ring even more special and she couldn't help but look at it. She teased Merlin over how his magic wouldn't work but he didn't care.
All four of them were sat on the couch and Rosalie was asking questions till the wedding topic came up. She said "when's the date?"
Merlin and Morgana were sat with his arm around her and her head on his shoulder. She laughed slightly and said "we only just got engaged".
She shrugged and said "so, fine what season do you want it in?"
Morgana looked at Merlin and he said "it's all up to you. As long as I marry you I don't care".
She placed a gentle kiss to his lips and when she pulled away she said "how does spring sound?"
He smiled and said "perfect".
Bradley said "so, who are you inviting?"
"You two of course and" him and Morgana started to think.
After a few moments she said "what about Gaius and the rest of them?" she looked at Merlin.
A smile crept up on his face and he said "are you sure?"
She nodded and said "I think its time I made peace with certain people. Also I want to apologise to Gaius for everything I put him through. You want them there at the wedding I can tell..have you still got Arthur's number?"
"Yeah".
She hesitated then said "ring him. Don't tell him about the wedding just tell him we need to see him".
He nods and then gets up and gets the number from the counter. He dials the number and he hears "Arthur Pendragon".
Merlin laughed and said "hey prat".
"Merlin" he practically shouted.
"Listen Morgana and I want to meet you guys and talk".
"What about?" he sounded worried.
"Don't worry its nothing bad. Can you meet us?"
There were a few moments of silence then Arthur said "why don't you and Morgana come here for a couple of days?"
"I'm not sure about that".
"Come on. You can even bring your two friends".
He looked at Morgana and saw her smiling at him and said "okay. When?"
"Could you come tomorrow?"
"Okay".
"Great, I'll text you where we live. Bye".
"Bye".
As Arthur put the phone back down on his desk he looked at the book in his hand. He had read the book that Rosalie gave him and he couldn't deny Merlin's feelings. He also couldn't deny Morgana's as there were certain parts where she had shown her feelings for him.
When Merlin put the phone on the counter and sat back down next to Morgana she gave him a look and said "what did he say?" he was silent and started to look around the room "Merlin" she said in a stern voice.
He finally looked at her and said "were going staying with Arthur for a few days".
"What" she shouted.
He jumped out of his seat as she was getting angry "the four of us".
This time all four of them shouted "what". Morgana strode over to him and said "Merlin, I can't see Uther".
"I never said anything about seeing him".
"Really...then how do you expect me to be in the same house as him and not bump into him?"
He shrugged and said "Morgana, he wont come near you. I promised you remember".
She sighed and then said "fine I'll go for you".
He smiled and then he looked at his friends and said "please can you guys come".
Rosalie crossed her arms and said "we have no choice now do we".
Bradley sighed and said "when do we go?"
Merlin said "tomorrow".
They eventually left to pack and arranged to meet at the front of Merlin's place in the morning. Morgana was still not happy but she went into their room and began to pack. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and recites his promise. She leaned into his touch with a small smile and says "I know".
AN: I actually thought that I wouldn't update this week because of the amount of times I updated at the weekend. Anyway my exam was today so I didn't have to revise anymore so you got this. I'm not really sure about the proposal but it's all I could think of. Please review
If you haven't already read it I strongly suggest you read 'The story of Emrys and Le Fay' by yesthenLucky9. It is a great story and all about Mergana
