Morgana left the room as Merlin handed the prince some jeans and a button up shirt.
"Merlin what the hell is going on?"
Merlin stood awkwardly "err...what do you remember?"
Arthur rubbed his head in a moment of thought. "I was...in Camelot. In bed...Gwen and you were beside me and then...nothing..."
Merlin nodded he knew exactly when that was; it was one of the darkest days in his life, the day Arthur had died.
Merlin scratched his head, how the hell was he going to explain that.
"Merlin, I know that look! And what the hell are these?" He held out the jeans while giving Merlin a serious look.
"Seriously? I still need to dress you?" Merlin opened the trousers and then gave them for the prince to put the trousers on.
He wiggled into them eventually and Merlin had to do the belt up.
Arthur managed to button the shirt up himself although he was giving it a curious stare.
"Morgana you can come back in now!" he shouted back into the hall. The witch came in and held back a smurk.
She stared at her half brother expecting some sort of angry reaction but when his arms came towards her they pulled her into a hug.
She had wide eyes when Arthur released her and all she could do was breathe.
She raised an eyebrow at Merlin who shrugged.
Arthur smiled. "its been twenty years Morgana..." Merlin and Morgana laughed. It had been so much longer for the other pair.
"believe it or not I've actually missed you." Morgana felt herself smile at the thought of being forgiven.
"Merlin showed me that magic isn't neccasarily evil...and I know now that you did what you thought was right and the only evil that ever stepped fought in Camelot was my father..."
Merlin laughed "well...we're not counting the troll here right?"
Arthur scowled at Merlin who gave a grin in return...
"where are we Merlin?"
Merlin collapsed onto the sofa "well... we're kind of...in the future."
Arthur raised his eyebrows, "the future? So who's king now? My grandchildren?"
Merlin laughed "no we're so far into the future Camelot is gone."
"what?"
Morgana sighed. "Camelot is now shrouded in mystery, I've tried to find it hundreds of times but its lost."
Arthur now sat beside Merlin, his eyes on the floor then he slowly lifted his eyes onto Morgana. He gave her a disgusted look and Morgana began feeling more and more uncomfortable.
"what are you staring at?"
Arthur stood up and handed her the cushion he was carrying earlier to cover himself.
"what are you wearing? Cover yourself" Morgana took the cushion threw it onto the floor and laughed.
She was nearly in tears. "Its the future! This is fashion..."
"that is acceptable?" Morgana looked over herself, her black skirt was just above the knee, she supposed it was disgusting compared to her old dresses but she figured it would do, above that she was wearing a rolling stones t-shirt, she had become fond of the band over the years and she figured with her hair tied back into a ponytail and dark eye makeup on she looked pretty awesome.
Morgana nodded and Arthur lifted a hand to his head. "I want to go home."
Morgana gave him a sarcastic look. "well good luck with that. I'm going shopping."
She turned to leave and then she heard Arthur from behind her.
"well at least some things never change..."
Morgana paused and then turned to Merlin. "Merlin can I talk to you outside a minute?"
Merlin nodded and as they stepped outside he took Morgana's hand and pulled her in and kissed her fiercely.
Merlin let her go, and smiled his hand still playing with her fingers, "if you have any problems give me a call,"
Morgana laughed. "I've been alone for a long time, I think I can take care of myself."
Merlin laughed, "yes you can, but now you don't have to." Merlin kissed her again and then watched as she walked away.
He opened the door and saw a folded armed Arthur in the doorway.
"Merlin is there something else you want to tell me?"
Merlin pushed the prince back and closed the door. "well i...i..."
Arthur laughed. "How long have you and Morgana had a secret relationship?"
"your not mad?"
Arthur shrugged. "I would be but I kind of figured that things have changed, and well I know you Merlin, you're an idiot but...your a good judge of character."
Merlin smiled happy that his friend was going to accept the relationship between him and Morgana.
"Do you love her?"
Merlin nodded and Arthur smiled thinking of Gwen and the way she would stare at him, the way he would hold her tight when she needed him, the way she would make it clear that she didn't need him all the time.
Arthur snorted slightly. "Well... you have my blessing..."
"Not that I need it. Cause I stopped serving the pendragons's centuries ago."
Arthur rolled his eyes. "well your my friend and I thought you'd care what I thought."
Merlin laughed he was tempted to give a sarcastic comment but decided not to annoy his long lost friend too much.
"well it does...thank you Arthur..oh and if I marry Morgana we'll be brothers..." Merlin chuckled and arthur's eyes widened jokingly.
"In that case I retract my blessing...noo no no no no!" he finished with loud laugh and Merlin just grinned as he thought how good it was to have his friend back.
