Warning 1:Ygraine is still alive. As is Balinor. Warning 2: Uther is ooc in this story. (Sorry if you don't like that.) Warning 3: This is malexmale.

I apologise in advance for any mistakes I may have made. :)

Uther was stood on one of the balconies looking over his Kingdom when a messenger walked up to him. "My lord." the man bowed.

Uther turned and faced the messenger. "You have news?"

"I do Sire. King Balinor and Queen Hunith of Harlech will be arriving tomorrow. Queen Hunith stressed that her son be up, dressed and ready to greet her."

"Thank you." the messenger bowed once more. "Sire." he said and turned and left.

Not long after he left did Arthur and Merlin walk up to him, hand in hand. "Father we were wondering if there was any news on King Balinor and Queen Hunith yet?"

"You have not long missed the messenger. You have today and tomorrow to rest. They arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you father." Arthur said and let go of Merlin's hand to put his arm around his shoulders.

"You two go off and enjoy the next two days. It will be very busy once Balinor and Hunith arrive as you will be married within a week of them arriving." Merlin and Arthur smiled at Uther and walked away leaving the King on his own once more. Uther watched his son and Merlin walk away with a smile on his face. "You made me uncomfortable four nights ago boys. Payback time." he muttered to himself.

Merlin and Arthur spent the day sparring on the training field, well, they were supposed to be sparring. People would watch the pair of them sparring, laughing as they did, so many cheering for Arthur and so many cheering for Merlin. The men would cheer when they saw Arthur sweep Merlin off his feet, landing him on his back, but when they saw Arthur lean forward and held a hand out to Merlin to help him up and Merlin would grab the hand, sweep Arthur who then landed on his back and Merlin would roll so he was on top of him, they would groan and walk away and pull faces when they heard the women around say 'awww.'

"Looks like I won." Arthur panted, looking up at Merlin and smiling. "I don't think so. I got the last move by sweeping you so I win. Looks like you're bottoming tonight." Arthur chuckled and placed his hand on the back of Merlin's head and brought his lips down to meet his own. When Merlin felt himself getting hard, he pulled back and stood up. "Not here Arthur." Arthur leaned up and propped himself up on his elbows. "Why not?"

"Because I'm starting to get hard." Arthur stood. "Care to go back to our chambers so I can help you with your problem?"

"Alright then."

Arthur dropped from his hands and knees and collapsed onto his front on his bed with Merlin following him as he was still buried in him. "Gods Merlin." Arthur panted. Merlin chuckled, Arthur feeling Merlin's breath on the back of his neck. When he felt Merlin begin to pull away, Arthur put his arm behind him and held Merlin in place. "Stay. Please."

"Arthur if I fall asleep inside of you it will hurt when you wake up in the morning."

"I don't care." Merlin wrapped his arms around Arthur and laid them both on their sides and fell asleep.

The next morning Uther and Ygraine were stood in the throne room watching as Balinor and Hunith made their way to where Uther and Ygraine stood. "Where are Arthur and Merlin? Hunith stressed that her son should be here to greet her." Ygraine whispered. "I told them when they asked yesterday that they would be arriving tomorrow, meaning today."

Uther looked up when Hunith and Balinor approached. "Queen Hunith, so pleased to meet you at last."

"King Uther, Queen Ygraine, so happy to meet you at last. Where is Merlin?"

"We told him that you was arriving today, he must still be with Arthur in their chambers." Uther explained and out of the corner of his eye he saw Balinor take a step back, he didn't have to wonder why as he saw Hunith narrow her eyes. "Show me where?" Uther smiled and held his arm out to Hunith, who took it and strolled out of the throne room. Ygraine shook her head. "Oh Uther."

"What's going on?"

"I think this my husband getting his own back on our boys and using your wife to do it."

"I don't understand." Ygraine linked her arm in Balinor's. "Let us follow and I shall explain on the way."

Uther opened the door to his son's chambers and Hunith let go of Uther's arm and made her way over to the bed when she saw a mop of black hair just visible above the sheets. Hunith put her hand on Merlin's covered hip and started to shake him. Arthur woke up to the feeling of Merlin rocking behind him, still buried inside him from the night before. "Ah Merlin let me wake up properly first." Arthur mumbled.

Merlin moaned. "What you say Arthur?"

"Merlin Emrys you get out of bed this instant." Merlin's eyes shot open at the sound of his mothers voice and quickly pulled out of Arthur who moaned and jumped off the bed, taking the sheets with him to keep him covered. Arthur sat up straight and instantly regretted it as pain shot through his backside. "Ow." he groaned, hastily grabbing a pillow to cover himself. Merlin turned and looked at Arthur, smiling. "I told you your arse would hurt come morning."

"Your arse will be hurting in a minute Merlin Emrys." Uther who was stood in the doorway blinked at Queen Hunith's language with a smile on his face. "Happy you got your own back?" Uther turned and found his wife stood there with Balinor. "Very."

"I can't believe you wasn't even awake, let alone up and dressed all ready to greet me. I told the messenger to tell you to be up and dressed and ready to greet me for when I arrived today."

"King Uther told us yesterday that you wouldn't be arriving until the day after tomorrow."

"You must have misheard me Merlin. I said tomorrow yesterday."

"Don't you go blaming your laziness on King Uther and you." she said looking at Arthur who was trying to put his trousers back on that he had chucked off last night, without showing any nakedness. "Don't bother trying to shy away to cover yourself up more because one: I saw more than I needed to when Merlin jumped off the bed and two: you have nothing different then I have seen before dear." Hunith turned back to Merlin. "I want you dressed and in the chambers your father and I will be staying in for the duration of our stay."

Merlin dropped his head. "Yes mother." Hunith walked over to her husband and took his arm, following Ygraine out of the room, who offered to show them where they would be staying.

Arthur put his trousers on and walked over to his father who hadn't moved from his place, still with a smile on his face. "You told us the day after tomorrow."

"That I did Arthur. Your mother was right, what you did to me is her coming out in you, but your determination to get your own back and to make that person suffer more than you did, will be me coming out in you. I have been with your mother for thirty years, whatever you throw at me, I can throw back even worse." he chuckled at the shocked look on his sons and Merlin's face before leaving them on their own.

What do you think?

The next chapter will be the last one which is where they marry and will be up within a week.

Review? :)
