The next day, was confusing for everyone. The introduction of Merlin's brothers had brought a certain amount of chaos. From, the constant introductions to his brothers complete disregard for the dangers of using magic, it was hectic!
The brunet found himself always on guard, mostly because Uther found it appropriate to glare at him every time that he laid his eyes on the poor servant.
Merlin, however, learned something key though. Arthur was completely taken with the four siblings that had arrived in Camelot. He would constantly ask how they were doing and look for more information about them.
Merlin couldn't believe how much the prat actually liked them. Morgana was similar, it was like they were enchanted by them.
They wasn't, Merlin had checked.
Lucian wouldn't lie about casting a spell on the royals, Nao didn't care if they liked him or not, Orion was too kind-hearted to make someone do something they didn't want to do and Alfie didn't know such advanced spells...
Merlin was lost in the situation but found himself loving the family oriented side of the Prince.
His eyes glowed and glittered when he saw the four, he began to speak to them all the time. Even if Nao protested that he didn't want to speak with the ignorant Prince. Not like Arthur listened, in fast it made him more curious to why Nao hated him so much without knowing him.
The boy simply ignored this though.
"Umm, Arthur, Nao wanted me to tell you that if you don't leave him alone he might actually kill you" Merlin giggled as he set down the Princes food. Arthur looked slightly upset and put the cutest pout on his lips. "Why does he hate me so much?" Arthur asked confused at the boys actions.
"Why do you like my brothers so much, that's the real question here?" Merlin replied his question making the prince blush.
'Because it's like having four more of you' the blond wanted to say, he simply grunted and began to eat.
Merlin frowned at the man's actions, he really wanted to know the truth about the boys actions, why was he no longer cooperative when Merlin asked about why he liked his brothers.
"You like them better than me, don't you?" The warlock muttered hoping that the prince didn't hear his self-deprecation.
Arthur suddenly felt an intense rush of guilt hit him, he was really upsetting Merlin by not telling him. Maybe the servant was jealous?
'No, that couldn't be' Arthur corrected himself.
"Um, Merlin, your not jealous of your brothers are you...?" The prince suddenly asked, he inwardly yelled at himself for asking. His eyes widened as his servant gave a large, blush.
"I'm not, I, there is no way that I am jealous" Merlin grumbled back, tears brimming in his eyes.
"Merlin, you're..." Arthur shouted as he watched tears fall down his crushes, cheeks.
Quickly, Merlin tried to run away from the blond only to be pulled back into the other mans arms.
"Merlin, stop" Arthur cried as he turned the other man around. Suddenly, he pulled the servant into a long kiss, the raven coughed slightly into the kiss.
"Wait, please, what?" Merlin stated to yell as he pushed against the stronger blond.
"Merlin, please, let me kiss you" Arthur cried out wanting to hold the man so much. Merlin found himself nodding without meaning to. Suddenly, Arthur pushed his lips onto the other mans with a smile, their lips were warm as they met one another.
Merlin's lips were so soft as they touched Arthurs chapped ones.
The blond pushed his tongue against the ravens bottom lip, as Merlin happily opened his mouth.
Their tongues started to dance around one another as they pushed into each other. Arthur quickly pulled Merlin down onto the nearby bed, pressing his mouth to the person that he loved. They were forced to pull themselves away from one another breathing raggedly.
"Arthur, I'm so sorry, I love you" Merlin cried not wanting to hurt the other man with his feelings.
"What are you talking about, I love you more than anything in the whole world!?" The blond screamed back at the now gaping raven-haired servant. Seeing this, Arthur took the raven's reaction as a chance to kiss him again.
His tongue dug into the other man's mouth, making Merlin moan.
Arthur found himself kissing around Merlin's face, trying desperately to cover every inch of the warlocks face with sweet kisses.
"I want you to kiss me more often" Merlin declared, crying slightly at the newly found affection that Arthur was giving him.
"I will kiss you whenever you want me too!" The Prince replied, with a small smile.
"For the record, your brothers they remind me of you and that's why I talk about them all the time, soon they will be my brothers too, after all" Arthur whispered to his new lover. Merlin blushed wildly.
"So, you're going to marry me?" Merlin teased before chuckling at the Prince's blush. Arthur nodded meekly before giggling.
"We better go before I try to take you right here, right now" the other teased back. Merlin found his hand in Arthurs hand as he pulled him up.
"Great now I have to explain to my brothers why they can use my bedroom from now on" Merlin taunted before being pulled back my his lover.
"Because, you're never leaving my side again" Arthur whispered making the raven shiver.
It only took a moment for Merlin to burst out of the room leaving a chuckling Arthur in his wake.
"So, how'd it go?" Lucian asked his blushing mess of an older brother.
Merlin let out a squeak, effectively allowing Lucian the chance to laugh at the raven.
"So, are we going to be royalty then?" Lucian let out a booming laugh after his statement.
Orion, who was sat in the corner, couldn't help but join in too.
"That's so sweet, I'm glad that you're finally together with him" the kind-hearted twin encouraged, closing his book to pat the older one on the shoulder.
"Don't encourage this shit, it'll get him killed if that crazy bastard excuse for a king finds out" Neo barked, while looking around at the overly excited idiots he called his family. Alfie pouted slightly, at Nao's declaration.
"Don't be so rude, big brother Merlin won't be caught and then they will live happily ever after" Alfie insisted making the angry twin scoff.
"Whatever, I'm not listening to this bullshit" Neo declared before storming out of the room, mumbling things to himself.
"Honestly, he's just jealous because you have a boyfriend and he doesn't" Lucian laughed momentarily before wondering off to start his new job. He had to take vial of a sleeping draft to the Lady Morgana.
"Big brother Merlin, when will Lancelot come back to Camelot?" Alfie asked shyly, making the older raven-haired boy chuckle.
"Soon, I'm sure of it" he told the grey-eyed child with a soft grin.
"Why are you following me, Orion?" Neo spat out, he was pissed at his twin for sneaking out in order to follow him. The smaller of the twins, let out a small giggle.
"To make sure that you don't kill anyone because of your anger issues" Orion told him his a soft look etched onto his face.
"Fine, whatever" Neo gave up, knowing that wherever he went the boy would follow.
"I'm going to look for a job, if you're tagging along I suggest you do the same" Neo told him, kindness flowing back into his voice.
"Okay, what job were you thinkin..." Orion began before finding himself colliding into another person's chest and falling down. Neo watched the scene before shaking his head and wondering off.
"Oh I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going" the twin announced before looking up to see a knight looking down at him.
"Oh, hey here" the knight started before offering his hand to help the boy up.
"My name is Leon" the man told Orion who blushed slightly at the contact.
"Hello, my name is Orion, thank you for helping me" the polite boy told him with a small coy smile.
"Wait, you're Merlin's brother, one of the twins" Leon stated, his eyes widening in realisation. Orion nodded as he noticed the person's expression.
"Umm, would you like to walk with me, back to the castle?" Leon stuttered to the handsome kid.
"Actually I was with me bro..." the brunet began before looking around to notice that the other was gone.
"Well it seems I've been left, I would be honoured to walk with you" Orion finished before nodding to reply to the knights request.
"So, you and your brothers are staying here with Merlin now?" Leon asked calmly, trying to suppress the blush that found it's way to his cheeks every time he looked at the beautiful young man.
"Yes, we've come to look for jobs, that's what Neo and I were doing before hand" Orion politely told the handsome knight.
"Ah, I see you know, you could work for the knights, we could always use someone to help with our armour and everything" Leon began before biting his lips.
"I could, I could d-do that?" Orion stumbled on his words at the idea of being around Leon everyday.
"Yeah, I could ask for another helper and you could be my manservant, like Merlin, the king had been asking me if I want one for years" Leon told the other, finding the blush on the brunet's face to be completely adorable.
"Oh, I would love to, thank you" Orion whimpered slightly making Leon worried.
"What's wrong?" The knight asked quickly.
"Oh, I think I've just grazed my leg when I fell that's all, I'm sure you get this stuff all the time" Orion laughed, unknowingly enchanting the knight. The tumbling sound of the boys sweet laughter made Leon blush intensely.
"I will talk to Gaius about cleaning the cut, I should be perfectly fine, don't look so worried" Orion told him, his eye lashes looking down.
"Well, I will leave you here then, Orion, make sure to get your knee looked at it would be a shame if it got infected or something" Leon told him quickly.
Orion couldn't help but smile at the kind knight. "Thank you for everything, I am so glad that I met you today, I will start work tomorrow then?" Orion asked slowly, hoping that the man had not forgotten about the job offer.
"Ah, yes, until tomorrow then?" Leon told him before rushing off into the castle, leaving a blush covered, confused Orion in his wake.
"Oi, idiot what are you stood here for" Neo grumbled unhappily as he pulled his brother inside to meet with the rest of their family.
"Orion, Neo you're back" Alfie announced allowing Merlin time to look around and smile at them. Lucian seemed to be busy making some kind of potion for Gaius in the corner.
"Any look finding jobs then?" Merlin asked cheekily.
"Obviously, I'm working behind the bar at the tavern" Neo grunted before looking to the still 'lost in thought' Orion.
"What about you then?" The taller twin asked the other.
"Hmm, what, oh yes I found a job" the kind one smiled dreamily making Neo blush in confusion.
"Big brother, Ori what are you smiling about?" Alfie asked with a giggle.
"I think I just fell in love at first sight..." Orion replied making all of the brothers smile (even Neo).
The brunet giggled slightly to himself as he thought about the kind and handsome knight who he was going to be the new manservant of.
"I'm so very glad that we came to Camelot" he whispered with a blinding smile that the brothers were left in awe of. Secretly, they all was glad of coming to Camelot and finally getting to go on Merlin's adventures...
Together.
