Prologue

Sometimes you get a good Thursday. Sometimes you get a boxed up Thursday. Sometimes you get a shitty Thursday. This Thursday wasmental.

Thursday used to be 70's Night in Camelot, but now that's changed - now Thursday is 90's Night - which makes you feel old, thank you very much.

I hadn't copped off, Lance hadn't copped off... But Arthur... Arthur had copped off. He always did.

"Hey! Merlin!"

Arthur had just opened the Phone Box where he had been snogging some bloke and ran after his best friend.

"Where are you going?"

"You copped off" said Merlin, shrugging.

"You still gotta take me home. Wait for me in the Jeep. 10 minutes! I'll just get his phone number!"

"While he swallows your cock?" asked Lance, laughing.

"10 minutes!" pleaded Arthur, and Merlin just nodded.

Arthur smiles before he leaves, and Merlin doesn't even look back, he just knows Arthur had already ran back to the phone box with the random bloke.

"So, he brings the car, gives you the keys, so you can't drink because you have to drive but he can just have the fun. It is a good system" says Lance, laughing.

"I don't mind" Merlin answered, and they both knew how true it was. Lance looked back for a instant.

"He is still looking" says Lance, and Merlin shudders.

"I don't care!" he claims, but he looks back anyway. "He's all muscles. I don't fancy muscles. He does his things all... Harrison Ford style, while I do mine Norman Wisdom."

Lance laughed at that, and clapped his friend in the back.

"I did a muscled guy once" he confides. "It was wonderful. Like playing in a bouncy castle."

They both laughed, still going for their cars, as Arthur was still inside the phone box with a cute bloke.

Sometimes you are in the middle of a shag and you just get bored of the guy, so you just masturbate him until he's finished off already. Because you gotta keep looking - that's why you go out. There's always a new guy, a better guy, a new fling, and you've got to find it.

That Thursday was the day he finally showed up - the one night stand that never goes away. And it changed everything.
