His eyes slowly opened and he realized that he was in someone's arms. When looking around he realized who and felt relief washing over him. Gwaine was really there and was holding him close. This was calming his nerves down. It took a moment for his memory to getting back up and when it did he sniffed again.

Now he probably lost Merlin. He had said he hated him, in the heat of his tantrum. It was making him feel horrible and he felt the first tears roll down his cheeks. The male who was hugging him stirred and he felt himself getting rocked up and down. So that he calmed down as soon as the tears came.

"Alright. There we go. When you don't soon laugh the tickle monster will come."

His eyes widen at this and soon he felt his side getting tickled. At first, he pouted, but soon giggles rang through the forest and he tried to wiggle out of the grasp.

"There we go."

The tickling had stopped and his giggles died down now. His eyes stared up at Gwaine and he needed to ask this now, because he couldn't stop thinking that Merlin would hate him now...

"Does Merlin now hate me?"

Voice sad and soft as he looked at Gwaine with what people would call the kicked puppy look. Gwaine let out a sigh and ruffled his hair.

"No. Merlin could never hate you. You do understand his side as well don't you?"

Peter thought about it for a moment and yes he understood Merlin's side as well. That was why he was mad at his brother for treating Mordred like this.

"Yes. But it wasn't right. Both side had made a mistake and to Mordred's defence, Merlin didn't even let him talk. He was planning to lash out on him. I hope they could make up. Mordred is actually quite nice. When you get to know him closer."

He mumbled as playing with his hood. His brows furrowed and his lips quivered. This was not fair. Merlin was his brother, but Mordred was by now a friend for him.

"I guess you're right. But at least now that you made a scene both are actually talking it out and Arthur as well."

Gwaine pointed at the bonfire and three people were talking in a hush tone. Of course, Peter could hear it, but he wasn't understanding what they really were talking about. Soon a pair of blue eyes looked at him. The pair belonged to none other then Mordred who looked at him with appreciation but as well concern. A grin stretched soon on his lips.

You finally made up now, I hope.

Yes, and that is thanks to you. The two care deeply for you. I can now understand why Merlin had done and reacted like this.

There are always to sides of the story. Or that is what my Uncle always tells me other then with great power comes great responsibility.

How about you come over here? I am sure that you want to make up with your other big brother.

This was something that he wanted to do, but he wasn't sure where to start or what to say. That was why he let out heavy side and looking down now on the ground. A minute or two later some footsteps approached and from the scent he caught he knew that it was Merlin. Soon he saw someone sitting down and his head was still down. He couldn't look at Merlin right now.

"I am sorry. I was in the wrong and I upset you. I apologize for making you cry."

His head slowly raised and he looked up now to see and apologetic Merlin. The young adult looked genuine guilty.

"Y-you don't h-hate me n-now?"

Peter just had to ask because this was something he was the most scared. The expression soon changed to something more soft and he was pulled into a hug now by Merlin.

"Never. I could never hate you Pete. You are my brother and I overreacted. I should have tried to talk to Mordred maybe then everything would have been better. We made up now."

Relieve washed over him and he hugged now back as feeling glad that his big brother wasn't hating him. The stayed like this and at some point he felt his eyes close again. A dreamless rest he had...

Voices. Around three or maybe for voices were heard. His eyes stayed closed and he was still way too tired. His mind was fuzzy and he couldn't really remembered what happened at first, until a few more minutes. Peter just had some fuzzy memories, and he pushed them as a dream. But when he heard the third voice which was clearly Mordred, his eyes snapped up as his body. Not to best idea, because now he felt some headache coming and dizziness as well.

"I guess we now know when he wakes up."

Was a joking voice and he felt confused now. Had this all not be a dream? Did he really end up as a kid?

"W-wait did I really get shrunken?"

He decided to ask instead of staying confused. Merlin let out a sigh and nodded. This made his eyes grow wide as he stared at them.

"Oh for Camelots sake. Are you kidding me? I ended up getting kidnapped by Morgana? Why does Parker luck hate me so much."

He muttered with a whined tone under his breath and the only one who heard this was Merlin as he was right next to him. A snort was heard coming from his brother.

"I can't believe I threw a hissy fit at you Merls. God I am terribly sorry."

Merlin chuckled and ruffled his hair now. A pout was what he gave and he pulled the male in a hug.

"Let me guess you are being needy of a cuddles again?"

His cheeks flushed as he heard Merlin deduce right.

"Obviously or why would I pull you to me?"

A sarcastic reply was given to Merlin and the said teen chuckled just at this. Now that he went through his memories he felt so much appreciation for his both brothers, and Gaius who really was by now a Gramps.

"Thank you guys. You brought me something that I never had gotten as child."

He muttered softly and burying his face into the chest of Merls. The said teen just went through his hair. There were some no problems heard and as well your welcome. Which he could guess was coming from Mordred. After a few more minutes they left the hug and he saw that right now the only ones who where there, were Arthur and Mordred.

"I will give him one more chance and I will make magic legal. I realized my mistake and maybe this will satisfy my sister, when not...well then there will be some war probably."

The thought about war was making him shudder and remembering the fight he had with Thanos. All he hoped that this Morgana person would not try to cause a war or something.

"I hope not, but when she would, I will do my best to protect you Arthy. I wouldn't want Merls to lose someone who he loves and the same goes for me. I could not bear the thought of losing you."

Arthur smiled softly now and a fond expression was seen on his expression.

"Alright, Merlin I need you for a meeting. Mordred welcome back."With this the two left and he was now alone with Mordred. And Peter wasn't really sure where to start...
