The young man stood in the hall of the school and looked down the hall at all his peers. He bit his lip and looked away. It felt like they all judged him when they turned their gazes on to him. He shook his head, stashed his books in his locker, and slammed the door shut and clicked the lock back in place. He shouldered his backpack and went to walk away but stopped when he caught a glimpse of blonde hair in his sight. He looked sideways and saw him, the guy that had started it all. He licked his lips and flushed when the blonde looked his way but the blonde just shook his head and let a smile cross his lips for a breath of a moment. Then he left down the hall way into the sea of people. The young man slouched against the wall and bowed his head. He was confused, hurt, and felt alone. He wished he had never stumbled upon Arthur Pendragon. Merlin felt his lips. Whished he never had gotten drunk at that silly after prom party. Merlin sighed and began his climb back down the stairs and out to the lot. Love was hard, just like life, it seemed. Oh well, he thought as he got into his old truck, and looked up and saw Arthur get into his own car, maybe things will happen in the future. Arthur looked up and saw him and this time waved, and Merlin smiled as his phone went off….it was Arthur! Yhea he couldn't see the future but that was okay.
