This story has six chapters and there will be a chapter posted everyday like always :) I know I am posting a lot of stories lately but I seemed to have finished writing them all at same time lol
Summary: Uther and Ygraine sick and tired of just how spoilt their son Arthur and daughter Morgana are, Uther makes them a deal, question is, will they go through with it when they find out all what it entails?

I apologise in advance for any mistakes I may have made
The next morning Morgana yawned as she walked out of her tent, she looked around as she tied her hair loosely back and made her way over to Leon's tent, she pulled the zipper up and put her hand inside, shaking her boyfriends foot. "Leon get up. I need some hot water."
"Get it yourself Morgana," a voice said behind her.
Turning around Morgana saw Arthur sat by a fire he had just lit. "You can't have everyone do everything for you that wasn't the deal."
"Leon won't tell father he helped me."
"No but everyone else who have made deals with father will do, it is not just us he is giving something to."
"Of course it is."
"Actually it isn't." Leon said as he walked out of the tent, stretching before he sat next to Arthur, warming his hands in front of fire before putting a pot of water on to boil. He looked up to see Morgana smiling. "This water isn't for you, I want a hot drink."
"Father has made a deal with you then Leon?" Arthur asked.
"He has, he made a deal with me, Lancelot and Merlin befo-"
"Merlin?" Arthur asked. "Merlin who never lets anyone give him anything? Merlin who will only have something if he has worked for it and paid for it himself? That Merlin?"
Leon laughed. "Yes."
"Leon tell me what he asked for."
"I can't."
"Oh come on Leon, we are here for three days, have only each others company we will be talking about all sorts and it will come out." Morgana said.
"Morning all."
Arthur looked up to see Merlin standing in front of his tent wearing a pair of jogging bottoms, his arms above his head as he stretched. "Merlin, almost didn't recognise you with clothes on."
Morgana looked from Merlin to her brother. "When did you see him naked?"
"Last night. I walk out of my tent and he is standing there in the lake, water just to his thighs, wasn't even bothered I could see all of him."
Merlin shrugged. "Should have looked away if it bothered you. I'm going to go for my morning wash." he said and with that he grabbed a small towel and a bar of soap and walked further up the lake.
"Oh sure strip naked and wash in front for us all to see but to wash his face he goes where no one can see him." Arthur said rolling his eyes.
"Did you see his cock first and then arse? Or arse then cock? What is he like down there? Is he perfect?" Morgana said, Leon smirking knowing just what his girlfriend was doing.
"I saw his arse first, where he stood in the lake the moonlight was shining off it so I could see it quite clearly, he turned and showed me his cock before he shown me his back again."
"What does he look like down there Arthur?" Morgana pushed. "Is he perfect."
"He is so perf-" Arthur blinked. "Who cares what he looks like!" he snapped before standing up. "I'm going for a wash." he said before grabbing his wash things and went to join Merlin, ignoring his sister laughing as he walked away.
"Why do you wind him up love?" Leon asked.
"That is not winding him up." she laughed. "And he says he is straight."
Once everyone had washed Morgana looked around the group. "Why isn't breakfast ready yet?"
"Because we have yet to catch the fish." Lancelot said.
"Fish again?" Morgause moaned.
"Well why haven't you caught any yet?" Morgana pressed on.
Merlin looked at Morgana in surprise. "Well why haven't you? You saw us fishing last night, you know what to do."
"It is hunting, that is a man's job." Morgana answered back.
"Oh well in that case. Lancelot, Leon, Arthur, any dirty washing you have give to the girls, washing is a woman's job is it not."
Leon seeing Morgana narrow her eyes at Merlin stepped in before she could open her mouth to argue back. "We share duties Morgana, we take in turns what to do."
"Then I will fetch some firewood."
"We have plenty." Arthur answered, "me and Merlin bought a load back when we came back from our wash."
When Morgana and Morgause were sat talking by the lake, one holding the fishing rod the other holding a net. Arthur turned to Merlin. "Leon said you all made a deal with father."
"We did."
"Leon told me all he wants is father's permission to marry Morgana, Lancelot has told me that father has offered him a job."
"He has."
Arthur looked closely at his friend. "What have you asked for Merlin?"
"Nothing."
"Okay. What did you say when father asked you what you wanted?"
Merlin turned his head to face his friend and smiled. "You know what I want."
"But I don't that is why I am asking you."
Lancelot who had just joined them started to laugh. "No Arthur, that is what Merlin said to your father when he was asked what he wanted."
Arthur looked from Lancelot to Merlin. "And father knows what you want?"
"He does."
"How can my father know what you want when me your best friend don't even know."
Merlin laughed. "Your father is a clever man Arthur, he sees things you can't see."
"Merlin-"
"Ah we got one!" Morgause squealed as she waved about the net.
Merlin stood up and looked into the net. "That's great, but their are eight of us so we need a few more."
"More! I nearly broke a nail trying to get that in the net."
"They will grow back and think of it this way, the fatter and heavier the fish the less you need to catch." he said as he took the fish from the net.
Morgause just huffed in response before going back to Morgana.
Freya came walking back into camp with Gwen, both of them giggling. "Arthur? Can you help me put a line up please so I can hang this washing to dry." Freya called over.
Arthur and Merlin got up to help as Lancelot started to gut the fish the girls had caught.
Merlin got one end of the line and reached up on tiptoe, his top riding up showing his midriff, the hair around his navel that disappeared below the waist of his jogging bottoms.
Freya looked at Arthur and shared a knowing smile with Gwen when she saw what Arthur was looking at. "Arthur? Are you gay?" Freya asked quietly.
"What? No."
"Bisexual then?" Gwen asked.
"No I am straight."
"Are you sure?"
"What? Yes Gwen why are you asking me all of these questions."
Merlin tied up his end before taking the other end of the line from Arthur and jumped on the blonds back.
Arthur quickly took hold of Merlin's legs and held him while Merlin reached up to tie the other end.
"They are asking you Arthur because out of all the views to look at in these woods you chose to stare at my arse and cock last night and my midriff and navel just now when tying the line up."
"No I wasn't." Arthur denied as he let Merlin down, he made to walk away but stopped when he saw what Gwen and Freya started to hang on the line. "They aren't your swimsuits." he said pointing to a certain green two piece. "That's Morgana's. Why are you washing her clothes?"
"We were washing ours anyway."
"That isn't the point Frey-" Arthur was cut off by a loud squeal, turning, he, Merlin, Freya and Gwen saw Morgause fall back into the lake pulling a squealing Morgana in with her.
Morgana stood up and started to wring out her hair with her hands. "What did you drag me in for?"
"I was falling, you was supposed to save me." Morgause said, shaking her hands before wringing out her hair.
"Save you? The water is only knee deep! Look at my top! It's rui-" Morgana stopped when she felt something moving. "Ah something is in my top get it out get it out!" she said as she started to jump about.
Arthur looked at Leon. "You can do it. I am not putting my hand down there she is my sister and Lance is too much of a gentleman to shove his hand down a woman's top.
Everyone stood and watched as Leon put his hand down his girlfriend's top and all started to laugh when they saw what he pulled out. "Well done Morgana, you managed to catch another fish!" Merlin said as he was holding onto Arthur whilst laughing.
Even Lancelot was struggling to keep a straight face as he walked into the lake to help Morgause out.
"I hate this!" Morgana said, hitting Leon as he continued to wave the fish in front of her. "Get that thing away from me."
"Come on Morgana, if this happened to anyone else you would be laughing." Arthur told his sister. "And wash your own things, don't have Gwen and Freya do it for you."
"Well they were washing anyway, we did a deal. I catch their breakfast and they wash the bit of washing I had this morning."
Arthur went to answer back but stopped when Merlin placed a hand on his chest. "Leave it Arthur, if that is how she sees it we can use that."
Arthur just nodded. "Go and get dry Morgana, and you Morgause, I will try and catch some fish. I even surprised myself by enjoying it last night."
"Thank you."
Arthur nodded. "Where is the rod?"
"I dropped it when Morgause pulled me in."
Merlin sighed. "I will swim and fetch it." he said and pulled his jogging bottoms off and top, kicking off his trainers before walking into the lake to swim after the rod.
Arthur jumped when he felt a slap on his arm and found himself looking at his sister. "Just admit you are gay and fucking shag him already!" she snapped before taking a towel and walking off to dry.
Arthur turned to look at his friends. "She goes on as if all I do is stare when Merlin strips down. I am straight."
Lancelot walked over to his friend and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Arthur I am straight, Leon is straight, if you were straight you would do what we do when Merlin does strip."
"And what is that?"
"Not stare at him as though he was the most delicious meal you have ever seen."
Uther and Ygraine were sat on a fallen log waiting in the woods not far from where their children and friends were camping. "Do you think their first night went okay?" Ygraine asked. "I mean I know they have spent nights away from home before, but never slept rough in the woods."
"Love if all wasn't well we would have had a phone call by now, lets just see how everything went on their first night alright."
A clearing of the throat had Uther turning and Ygraine looking up. "Morning."
Ygraine smiled. "Morning love, how is everyone?"
The person smiled. "Arthur and Morgana are fine, Morgana had a bit of a wobble this morning."
Uther stepped forwards. "A wobble?"
"Best if I show you." the person said and handed over the saw video camera that filmed the incident in the lake this morning. Uther and Ygraine couldn't stop laughing. "Well at least she caught a fish."
"That she did. I am having a great time, we are all mucking in, Morgause likes to moan a lot but that is how she is."
Ygraine smiled and handed the camera back, "are we alright to meet here in again?" she asked.
"Of course."
Uther nodded. "Well what we will do is leave you your phone, that way you can send us videos and pictures and keep us informed."
The man in front of them smiled. "Thank you." he said as he took his phone. "I will place it where no one will see it."
Uther nodded. "Before you go. How is Arthur? Still in denial?"
"Of course." the man smiled. "I better get back before I am missed. Let me know when you will be coming." he added before leaving.
What do you think?
Chapter four up tomorrow :)
