   Summary

   Red, golden, brown leaves begin drifting from wizen trees when Merlin has his first kiss.

   He’d thought — hoped that it would happen the way it does in the flicks, even though he’s the best friend of the biggest cynic in school and probably the town. He’d wanted it to be romantic, with him holding hands with his crush, the two of them having just confessed to harbouring feelings far beyond their comprehension for each other.

   Merlin is fifteen when autumn flakes the trees in a slow dance and the older boy who’s hated him for years and years slams him into a wall and kisses him.
