!2003: 09, !complete, merlin toke, zacharias smith

Who: Zacharias Smith and Merlin Toke.
When: September 12th. Afternoon.
Where: Memorial Alley. Sugarush.
What: A random encounter.
Rating: PG for possible rude words.
Status: Closed/Complete.

After standing in line at Sugarush to get himself a strawberry scone and an Italian soda, Zacharias glanced around to find a seat. It was a lazy sort of Sunday afternoon (which was the best type of Sunday, second only to Sundays that involved Quidditch in some way shape or form) and he had decided that he wanted something sweet. Which was what had brought him to Sugarush.

It was suitably busy, but eventually he got and paid for his selections. With a cool glass in one hand, and a scone-bearing plate in the other, Zacharias glanced around to find a place to sit, since walking and eating was both unclassy and not always easy to do.

He found a table for two near the door, against a window, which as perfect for watching people go by (and silently mocking some of them in his head, as he was want to do).

The blonde former Hufflepuff slid into one of the seats (the one which would have his back to the wall, which he liked) and set down plate and glass. His capable fingers took hold of the straw, using it to swish his drink around before he took a sip, glancing up as the door to the shop opened.

Apart from the odd chocoball, Merlin wasn't really keen on sweets - he preferred blood flavoured lollipops to sugar, so the fact that he'd been irresitably drawn into Sugarush was a puzzle to him, that was until he entered and found himself looking directly at the blond that had scared him so. Fuck.

His attention was on Zach in the same way that his feet had followed a path to the shop that only they knew about, attracted like earth magnets, and now that he was there he wanted the feeling of repellance to push him back and away, allow him to flee as though this was just a meeting of chance; but this was no meeting of chance and he couldn't stop himself walking into the shop a little, standing there and staring back at Zach, struck dumb by his shock, by the way his gifts had betrayed him.

Zacharias was just as surprised to see Merlin Toke walk through the doors. Of all the people in the Wizarding world to come through the doors of Sugarush at that moment, it was him. That was... well, odd. A big coincidence.

He recovered first, and flashed a lazy, easy grin at the other. "Well if it isn't Merlin Toke," he said. He nudged the other chair with his foot, pushing it back from the table. "Sit, sit," he instructed, waving a hand at the chair as he did so.

"I think you owe me an explaination, at least," he added, because he had been trying to figure out what it was about him that freaked Merlin out as it did.

	Merlin tucked back into himself, all wrapped up in his arms as though that would protect him. "You take it." he said, his voice cold and shaking. "You take it from me and then, then we're wrapped together somehow, but I don't, I can't see how. I don't know how it works. And I don't know how it ends." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Merlin didn't want to say, but it had been in his head enough that he didn't blush as he looked around, took a step closer and said it. "My virginity. You take it from me." All he saw was his hands fisted in the sheets, a moan, a small sound of pain... and Zach Zach, all over it, his psychic fingerprints everywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Merlin winced again, uneasy at the topic, and he snapped again, frustrated and afraid. "Look, I don't know how it'll happen - I just know I don't want it. But it's going to happen anyway. That's all I know." And maybe Zach wouldn't want it either because a) who would with him and b) Zach didn't seem to like him very much. It almost made Merlin want to cry.

	"You know, by saying that, you're just going to make me want to prove you wrong," Zacharias informed him. Either by showing Merlin that he would want it - or not doing it at all. He wasn't sure which. "Am I that bloody horrible that it's such a terrible thought that you might actually like me?" he asked him sourly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
