It was one of those days that had Hughie yearning for the end of summer and made him wish he was a little more comfortable in his own skin. He would love nothing more than to peel off his t-shirt, which had already begun to stick to him just from filling up his car, but he wasn’t the type to be topless unless he was at the beach.
He's found himself at one of those truckers stops, sounds of large engines hissing, puffing, clunking filling the hot afternoon. Even the pumps were hot to the touch. Once his car was filled, he went inside to pay, grateful to find that the small gas station'd had the foresight to stock their freezers.
Now that shade had been acquired, Hughie leaned back against the cool side of the wall, head tipping back, leisurely licking the ice cream he'd bought, not once thinking that perhaps he looked just slightly unseemly, clothes plastered to him like it was a wet t-shirt competition, tongue busy with his frozen treat. Only when he locked eyes with one of the truckers that passed by, catching the look in his eyes, did he realise how he was presenting himself. Hughie swallowed and glanced away, colour rushing to his face.
