Heatwave
Author: tstaewsieh
Characters: pre- Merlin/Arthur
Ratings: PG
Warnings/Spoilers: Modern AU.
Summary: Merlin's kicked out of home and it's a lousy start.
Challenge: #74: heatwave
Disclaimer: Are Merlin and Arthur making out in almost every scene? No? That would be because they don't belong to me *grumbles*
Notes: I. Don't. Even. Know. I see the word heatwave, I think roads.
It’s so goddamn hot and he needs shade.
But it’s open road for miles, the tarmac eye-sore exuding heat in writhing streams out from the ground and Merlin allows his eyes to strain, focus on how the colours run together and not the burden of two small suitcases behind him.
A car shoots down the road towards him and Merlin sticks his hand out, flailing more than signalling.
It slows to a stop and the window slides down.
“Lamest hitch-hiking I’ve ever seen”
Merlin huffs and gets in beside the blonde stranger, mumbling something about prats.
It’s a long drive.
