4 Weeks Later...
Arthur had been shuned from most the group, he would only talk to Leon and that was only because they had to share a room otherwise everyone would ignore him.
"So, how's it going with Vivian and Arthur?" Merlin asked Leon as the two headed back from lunch.
"He says great but he's miserable, I can tell"
"Can't say I'm too sad about that" he muttered earning a chuckled from the taller man. When Merlin arrived back at his room he ran straight to the bathroom and brought up everything he just ate, he'd been doing this for a few days now, not being able to keep anything down. He splashed his face and went to his bed to lay down. Just as he was drifting off there was a knock at the door and when he opened it, there was Arthur stood there holding a law manual that belonged to Lance and Arthur had borrowed a long time ago. "Hi"
"Hey"
"Here is Lance's book"
"Yer" the dark haired boy whispered taking the book. They stood in an awkward silence for a moment before Merlin bit the bullet and asked "How are you and Vivian?"
"Good thanks and what about you and Gwaine?"
"It didn't work out"
"Sorry"
"Sure, you are. You never liked him" Merlin replied sarcasticlly.
"I know" he nodded with a smile before continuing "Look Merlin, I know we haven't spoke since then..but you have to know how sorry I am. About everything; the way I acted, the fact I hurt you and what I said"
"I know. You were confused and made a mistake, I get it"
"Can I come in?" he asked cautiously.
"Sure" Merlin nodded moving to the side letting his friend through. Arthur moved onto Merlins bed which was facing the TV and Merlin moved into the kitchen and prepared two cups of tea. He handed Arthur his and smiled before taking a seat next to him but with a safe distance between. "You remembered how I take it?" Arthur asked with a flattered and suprised laugh.
"Of course" Merlin chuckled and they sat in a semi-comfortable silence until Arthur broke it.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes" Merlin answered after taking a sip of his tea.
"Can I see your shoulder?" Merlin licked his lips and unbuttoned his shirt exposing his right shoulder to the blonde. It had healed a fair bit but there was still a huge bruise and a cut from the edge of the table.
"It must have been bad" Arthur observed ghosting his fingertips over the wound making Merlin shiver.
"It was" Merlin answered bluntly. The silence resumed. Merlin heard a shuffle behind him and the weight on the bed shift closer, just as he was about to turn and asked what he was doing he felt lips touch his cut. "What are you doing?" he asked turning to look at Arthur.
"I can't stop thinking about you.." he confessed meeting Merlins gaze.
"I think you should go" he whispered when Arthur lent forward.
"If that's what you want, I'll go"
"It's not what I want but it's what you should do" Merlin answered honestly tearing his gaze from Arthur lowering it to the ground. Arthur tilted Merlins chin so he could look back into the blue orbs that he couldn't stop dreaming of before leaning forward and capturing Merlins lips. There lips moved in sync, tongues met and danced as they explored each others mouth again. The passion was shooting off them like they were soul mates that had been kept apart and they needed each other so badly. "Do you want to do it again?" Arthur asked between kisses applying slight pressure on the other boy so he'd lay back.
"I don't know..I-" he was silenced by another breathtaking kiss
"I was a dick before but now I'm sober and I still want you" he assured and with these words Merlin moved one of Arthurs hands downwards as a sigh of trust. Arthur smiled playfully and began kissing Merlin again while unbluckling the skinny boys belt and just as he got the zipper down the door swung open revealing a stunned Morgana, Gwen and Lance. The blonde stood lightening quick and began trying to explain, "It's not..we weren't..I'm not gay"
Merlin heard his words and saw red he began hitting Arthur in the chest "Get out! Stay the hell away from me!"
"Merlin, I didn't mea-" he tried to reason while attempting to prevent Merlins attacks.
"Save it for someone who gives a fuck!" he screeched shoving him one last time before bolting into the bathroom. Arthur looked to the others and saw the anger filled expressions so just left without explanation. Morgana glanced at the others as she tapped gently on the door, "Merlin? He's gone" when she didn't recieve an answer she tried the handle and it was open, she gingerly stepped in to find him face in the toilet bowl wrenching. Morgana winced slightly before going over and rubbing his back. When he was done she manovered him so he was layed on the bed. She left early as she had a date with Leon and Lance had a catch up with some old friends so when it was just him and Gwen, Merlin decided there was something he had to tell her. "Gwen?" he whispered
"Merlin, you scared me I thought you were asleep" she smiled warmly placing her hand over her chest feeling the thud of her heart,
"No..there is something I have to tell you" he said sitting up making space for Gwen.
"Anything" Gwen said sitting next to her friend and began holding his hand.
"Well..ever since me and Arthur...slept together, I've felt different but today I thought something...I think I'm pregnant"
"Have you took a test?" she asked holding back the need to lecture Merlin on safe sex.
"Not yet" he confessed
"Well, I thought I was but I started yesterday so I have one if you want to use it?" she offered giving his hand a light squeeze. He nodded and she gave him the location of the test, he shuffled into the bathroom and closed the door. When he'd done he amerged holding it, he handed it to Gwen carefully and they just sat in the most nerve racking three minutes of Merlins young life.
"Times up.." Gwen said picking up the stick and glancing at it.
"Well?" Merlin asked picking his nails nervously.
"Two lines. Your pregnant" as soon as the words left her lips Merlin burst into tears. She went and put her hands around his shoulders, "It'll be ok, I promise"
"No..no it won't"
"You know you'll always have me, Lance, Leon and Morgana" she said seriously handing the test to her friend
"Not Morgana. I can't tell her" he protested sanpping his head up.
"Why?" Gwen asked confused.
"She's his sister. She'll obviously tell him, like if it was Elyan you'd tell him right?"
"Yes" she answered honestly looking at the floor.
"Can we just keep this between us, please?" he begged
"Of course, but Merlin you'll be at least a month and I know you probley don't want to think about it but what are you going to do?" she inquired cautiously nibbling her lip and the inside of her cheek.
"I can't keep it Gwen, not alone. I know your my friend but I don't know if I passed and I might need to redo my last year. Do you really think I could do that with a baby?"
"No, well you get your results in one week so then you can see if you passed then decide" Gwen suggested wanting her friend to be sure before deciding anything.
"That sounds good" he nodded before saying "But please don't tell Morgana, Lance by all means but please not her" he pleaded begining to cry
"Your secret is safe with me Merlin but I think before you do anything you should tell Arthur"
"I'll think about it" he nodded walking over to the kitchen and getting some left over pizza out the fridge. As he ate he couldn't help but think about what Arthur would say or what he would do, maybe he'd want it?
1 Week Later...
"Open it, Merlin!" Gwen and Morgana squaked
"Alright" he smiled tearing open the brown envelope and scanning his result card. Merlin and Gwen hadn't spoke about it since they found out, not just because Merlin didn't want to but because there was nothing to talk about til they knew Merlin results. Which was today.
"Well?" the girls asked eagerly
"I passed! I'm offically a fully qualified vet!" he beamed
"Congrats" his friends pulled Merlin into a tight embrace. After the celebrations and Morgana had left Gwen asked the killer question "What are you going to do?"
"I know what I'm going to do"...
