I don't own Merlin.

Uther is a successful lawyer, his wife Ygraine died in child labor with his son Arthur. Hunith is his personal assistant, having Balinor run out on her and Merlin. When Hunith takes Merlin to meet Uther, Arthur and Morgana for the first time at their manor on the coast; Arthur and Merlin but heads for a while but then become friends. Cenred, Merlin's abusive ex boyfriend, comes back into the picture and Merlin confides in Arthur about the rape and abuse.

Merlin was sprawled out on the couch, a half eaten sandwich resting on his abdomen. He had finished his school work, and lazily stared at the t.v. His mother had insisted that he focus on his studies and not work. That was before she had started dating a lawyer from her office, where she worked as a receptionist for Uther Pendragon.

The door of the apartment creaked open and a smiling Hunith walked in, Uther following her closly. Merlin could here them eating each others face, the noise a little to clear for comfort. Merlin cleared his throat, and the couple pulled apart. Hunith blushed and looked up at her 17 year old son.

"Uther, this is my son, Merlin." She introduced him to her date. Merlin sized up the man; he had a nicely pressed suit, so he made good money. The indent on his left ring finger suggested that he was married but not divorced. He had a look on his face that said 'I am a father, I can handle him.'. Merlin smiled, happy to see his mother with a good man.

"Hello." Merlin shook Uther's hand. The other man smiled at him. Merlin turned on his heels and walked to his room.

"So he is the gay one?" Uther asked and Hunith erupted in laughter.

"Yes, isn't Arthur gay too?" Hunith asked. Uther only nodded, still getting used to the idea of his son liking men.

"You and Merlin should come up to the lake house this weekend, I would like our family together." Hunith smiled and eagerly agreed to meet him on friday at his lake house.

Merlin wasn't very fond of the idea of spending the weekend at the Pendragon mansion. He was blasting Falling in Reverse in his ears as they pulled up to castle. Merlin's mouth dropped open as he took in mansion. The place itself was huge they had all kinds of fun stuff surrounding. A few horses filled a small stable, a golf course and a basketball court, along with the lake being filled with jet skies and boats.

The front door swung open and a beautiful young girl with waist length black hair ran out followed by Uther. She sprinted across the lawn her yellow sundress flowing behind her. She squealed and stopped right in front of Merlin.

"Hi! I am Morgana, Uther's daughter!" She smiled so happy that it made Merlin uncomfortable. Uther had on a 'kiss the chef' apron that he was whiping his hands on. He kissed Hunith hello.

"Well, diner is almost done. Morgana, do you want to go get Arthur from the lake." He asked his cheery daughter.

"Merlin, why don't you go with her?" Hunith suggested. Merlin nodded and Morgana grabbed his arm leading him away from the couple.

"So, what do you like to do?" Merlin awkwardly asked Morgana.

'Oh, thank god, you do speak." Morgana exhaled and shot him a smile. "I like to ride horses and listen to music." Merlin nodded as they approached the lake.

As they got closer to the lack, Merlin saw a jet ski spinning around the lake, a blond haired boy riding it expertly on top. Morgana waved her arms to grab her brother attention. He sped in a parked the jet ski. Merlin took one look at the man an realised that he is the most beautiful man he had ever seen. Arthur shook his hair like a dog, water droplets flying everywhere.

"Arthur this is Hunith's son, Merlin." Arthur's eyes lite up when he saw the dark haired boy. Merlin shoved his hair out of his eyes and Arthur felt his heart sped up.

Then he said the stupidest thing to come out of his mouth. "So you're gonna be my brother?"
