Hogwarts, Year 7
Graduation day was full of family members, friends, and tears. Arthur had been swept away by his father and a bunch of his cousins and old family friends. They patted him in the back and congratulated him for finally finishing school. Arthur thanked them all, but his eyes were searching for his boyfriend. "Where is he?" he thought.
"Arthur!" A voice called for him. The blonde boy turned around and saw a tall, thin young man waving at him. Next to him was a kind woman. It was Merlin and his mother Hunith.
"Excuse me." Arthur said to his Uncle Agravaine. He rushed past other graduates and family members coming to visit Hogwarts. "Merlin!" he exclaimed and took his lithe form in his arms. "Hello, Hunith." he said when he withdrew, his arm around Merlin's shoulders.
"Hi, Arthur. Congratulations on graduating." she said, hugging Arthur's side. Merlin looked at him worriedly.
"Arthur, I can't find Jamie." he said. His eyes were large and panicked. Arthur's smile slipped.
"What?"
"I'm sorry, Arthur. I got distracted. Kilgharrah wanted a few words with me." Merlin said miserably.
"Where did you last see him?"
"He was with my mum and then--"
"Mommy! Daddy!" A little high pitched voice caught their attention. A little blonde boy was being carried by an exasperated looking Gwen. Morgana was behind her rolling her eyes at Gwaine.
"Jamie!" Merlin exclaimed and was over there, hugging and kissing the toddler in record time. Arthur joined them shortly, participating in a group hug with his boyfriend and his son. The little boy hugged Merlin and Arthur's necks tightly. "I thought I told you to not leave my side!" Merlin reprimanded, wagging a finger over his face. Jamie's cherub face fell.
"I'm sorry, mommy." he said. Merlin smiled and placed a tickling kiss on his chubby cheek.
"It's okay, baby. Just don't do it again."
Arthur took Merlin's hand. "I'm getting hungry. We should head to the party." he said.
"Yeah, let's go."
Jamie stood between them, holding his father and mother's hands as he skipped forward giggling.
