Nice to meet you neighbor Chapter one

“DAMMIT!” Cried out a rather annoyed Merlin as he opened up his smoky bonnet of his car in the middle of the night, on the side of a highway in the middle of nowhere.

“Crap, crap, crap!” He cursed as he saw oil bubble to the surface.

Quickly he pushed it onto the edge of a forest that was near the rode.

He hurriedly took off his sock and covered the hole before it overflowed.

“What am I going to do?” he wined, shaking from the cold.

He searched for his phone to find it out of battery.

‘Oh no.’ He thought to himself, worried.

He looked at his sides and saw an emergency phone near.

He walked up to find it old and rusty.

Carefully he dialed and pressed the slightly damp and dirty phone against his ear.

“Hello, this is the local emergency de-what-where-hello?” A voice called on the other end, Merlin couldn’t make out what he was saying as it was too old to revive the whole message clearly.

“Hello, I’m stuck in ‘Lady lake’ interstate…in at the edge of the rode, my oil is about to lea-hello?” He asked and found that the call ended, he watched as the light from the dial screen faded.

‘It’s bloody dead’ He thought to himself.

He trudged over to the car and climbed in and locked it, turning it off and wrapped his jacket around himself angrily.

“Better get some sleep…” He murmured to himself and fell asleep.

He woke to knocking.

He let out a yawn and blinked.

He saw a rather handsome man tapping on his window with a smile.

“Hey, are you stuck?” He asked.

Merlin unlocked the door and got out.

“Hey, sorry…my car broke down…”

“I could see, I checked the oil tank…you better get out incase it explodes…” He said nervously and the two walked to his car.

“I could give you a ride back home if you want…” He offered.

“You sure?” Merlin asked, unsure.

“Don’t worry…if you don’t feel comfortable I’ll call the local car rend and wait with you if you want.” The man said, taking out his phone.

Merlin shook.

“Gods you’re freezing.” The handsome blond breathed, his hand on Merlin’s wrist.

He took his hand away and went to his boot and took out a blanket.

“Here.” He said and wrapped it around him.

“Thank you…”Merlin smiled.

“So, what do you want to do?” He asked.

“Could you bring me home…I really don’t want to stay here.” Merlin said, scared.

“Of course…” The man nodded and started the car, waiting for Merlin to gather his valuables from his car and got in and closed the door.

“So where do you live?”

“Camelot Street…erm…Avalon…” Merlin said.

“In a block of flats?” He asked.

“Yes, how did you know?”
“I just moved there…a week ago…huh fancy that.” He smiled and drove to a block of flats and got out.

“Thank you, really you’re my hero.” Merlin said with a smile as they got into the elevator.

“It’s no problem, I like to help….” the blond smiled.

“I’m Merlin…”

“Arthur.” The man said, shaking Merlin’s hand.

“What room are you in?” Merlin smiled.

“Six, six two…”

“Wait…you’re the guy!” Merlin cried out.

“…Sorry?”

“You’re the new guy that tripped me!”

“Wait…your broken-guy?”

“I’m not broke I just work in a café!”

“Yeah, that’s broke…”

“Oh fuck off, you tripped me!”

“You where in the way.”

“No I wasn’t…I was getting out of the elevator and you where holding boxes, I walked out with a cup of tea and you tripped me, casing the cup to break onto my hand, I had to have five stitches!”

“We’ll I had to get the boxes into my room pronto…or else I would have tripped.” Arthur huffed.

“I can’t believe you, your such a prat!”

“Prat…what are you four!?”

“You might as well be…”

“Your bloody annoying…I just saved your life!”

“Saved my life, no you didn’t save me you just dropped me off…”

“-but You said…”

“Oh who cares!” Merlin cried out and heard a ‘ding’ and walked out of the elevator.

“We’ll don’t I at east get my ‘thank you’ or ‘we are even now’?”

“No.”

“Wow…are all commoners like this?”

“…You bloody, complete and utter dollip head!” Merlin growled and unlocked his door and walked in when suddenly he fell to the floor.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” He murmured to himself when he felt Arthur’s foot move away from his and move away to his door that was right next to Merlin’s.

“Nice to officially meet you neighbor…” Arthur smirked and closed the door.
