Summary: It was the last day of school before the winter holidays, and Merlin was tired. His last class had spent the whole period having a competition as to who could throw the most paper balls into the rubbish bin when Merlin’s back was turned, and the class before that had ended early because two students had almost gotten into a fight. It had been a terrible, exhausting day, and Merlin was quite looking forward to getting home and spending the evening curled up on his couch with a good book and a cup of tea, taking sweet, sweet comfort in the knowledge that he wouldn’t have to see his students again until January.

And then a glob of snow hit him in the face.
