Merlin Come Home

Chapter One

The snow was falling heavy on day before Christmas Eve.

Late night shoppers were whizzing round, going in one shop after the other.

Camelot town was in panic mode as it usally is same time every year.

But for one family in Pendragon Estate, Christmas is never about presents and what each other should buy.

Its about family time, being with one another, never about gifts.

So as you walk up the driveway and climb the steps to the house, you open the door and you are greeted with a...

"AARRTHURRRR PEENDRAGOOOON!"

With the odd big sister scream here and there.

A blonde grinning teen came running down the stairs carrying an unplugged hair dryer and a packet of baking flour.

Hot on his heals was a flour covered Morgana, his half big sister.

"DAD! ARTHUR WAS HIDING IN MY ROOM BEHIND MY DOOR AND BLEW A LOAD OF FLOUR IN HAIR WHEN I WALKED IN. I'VE JUST WASHED IT!"

"DAD! MORGANA CALLED MY BOYFRIEND A NERD!"

"DAD! IT WAS A JOKE BESIDES ARTHUR CALLED LEON A POOF! WHICH IS A BIT RICH COMING FROM HIM BECAUSE HE IS ONE!"

"DAD! CAN WE PUT HER IN A HOME?!"

"ENOUGH!"

A low voice boomed across the hall of the Pendragon mansion.

A tall grey haired man came walking in to the hall with his hands on his hips with a disappointed look on his face.

"Arthur, go put the hair dryer back in your sister's room. Do not touch anything and do NOT take anything. Then put the flour back into the kitchen. Morgana go wash your hair again, but aplogise to Arthur first about what you called Merlin, then say sorry to him when he arrives. But all before that say sorry to each other."

"But..." they both started, Uther placed a hand up.

"Just...do it." he breathed out.

The step siblings faced each other.

"Sorry." they mumbled, then did what they were told.

Uther exhaled and went to his wife in the kitchen who was making gingerbread men.

He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek.

"What happened?" As a mother, Ygraine knew her children.

"The usual. Arthur messed up Morgana and she in return call Merlin a name."

"What name?"

"Nerd."

That made her turn around "But he is nerd. He even admitted it."

"But Arthur doesn't like anyone calling him that. You know how protective he is of him. After all it is his long reining boyfriend."

"Arthur better not get drunk and kiss the first girl he sees, like he did with his last boyfriend, making him single." she said turning back to her work.

"I don't think so, dear. Arthur seems pretty serious about this one."

"Of course I am."

They both looked round and found their son leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed.

"You alright darling? What time is Merlin arriving?"

Arthur looked at the clock above the fridge. It said '12:15'

"In fifteen minutes, Mum. His mum is dropping him off then shes going to his uncle Gaius to pick him and Balonor up then they are coming here later tonight about nine, I think. Merlin said they're gonna ring."

Fifteen minutes went quick for the others but felt like hours fro Arthur.

As soon as the door bell chimed, Arthur jumped up and raced to the door.

Pulling it open he was greeted with the sight of his adorable boyfriend.

Merlin had raven hair and piercing blue eyes. His skin was as white and pale as snow. He wore a pair of thick black rimmed glasses that were obviously too big for him. He had a goth like feel to him as he always wore dark colours, but mostly black. He said it was because he was too skinny and it covers it up. For that, he and Arthur had an arugement which left them not talking for a week. In the end, Merlin came running his house with a thousand sorrys coming out his mouth. Eversince then they've loved up and there was never moment when you see one without the other. Today he was wearing the same glasses, black skinny jeans with matching ankle books which were caked in snow. A massive black coat and underneath a long dark blue jumper with a red scarf. On his back was a rucksack.

Arthur greeted him with a smile and kiss "Hey babe."

"H-H-Hi." he stuttered out as his teeth were chattering.

"Come in."

Arthur placed a arm round his shoulders and guided him into the warm.

After he said hello to everyone, accepted Morgana's apology with a smile, while Arthur growled, hanged his coat up, removed his boots and took his bag off, Arthur grabbed his hand and dragged him upstairs.

Once inside his room, Merlin didn't get the chance to speak as Arthur removed his glasses, delicatly placing them on his dresser near by, unwinded his scarf placing it next to them, then pinned him to the now closed door and snogged the life out of him which Merlin happily recieved.

Across the floor a grumpy Agravaine came out his room and was about to walk down stairs, but was stopped when he heard a moan coming from Arthur's room.

Relising he had his 'friend' in there, he pulled a disgusted face and stomped downstairs.

Once down, Agravaine marched into the living room, strided over to the drinks cabinet and oured him self a whiskey.

Downing it in one go, he poured another and was about to drink it, when the 'sex mad couple' (his name for them) came in holding hands and talking.

He noticed Merlin's cheeks were red as his lips were and he was sporting a love bite on his neck which he unashamley showed off.

Scoffing at the pair, he downed his second whiskey and walked out the room, but giving them a small greeting.

"Arthur. Melvin."

"It's Merlin." Arthur snarled.

He shrugged "Same ammount of letters."

After he left, Arthur banged his fist on the wall "God, Merls he makes me so angry. I mean if hes ashamed of me why don't he just come out with it."

"Um, Arthur you're hurting my hand."

Looking down, he found he was squeezing his boyfriend's hand too tight.

"Sorry, sweetheart." he replied loosening the grip.

"You're not ashamed of being with me or us, are you?" Merlin asked with a tear in his eye.

Seeing that, he let go and hugged him tight "Don't ever say that, baby. Of course I'm not.."

Pulling away, he brushed his fringe of his forehead then kissed it, then kissed his lips gently, but lovingly "And I am never breaking up with you. You are going nowhere and nor am I." Merlin smiled at that reponse.

Hearing this, Agravaine smiled "Yeah. You might not get rid of him, dearest nephew."

His smile grew wider and looking more like a maniac them an uncle. "But I can."

Don't worry, I'm not killing Merin or Arthur. I would never do that them.
It's just a little 'forgotten to bring him home' getting rid of.
A bit of angst coming up but with a happy ending.
Hope you enjoyed it. Next chapter up soon :)
