A/N: Ello there, dearies. Well, I know it's kind of stupid, writing a story when I'm not even close to done with my other one...but that's okay! Lol. Anyways, I was listening to this song the other day, and BAM! I came up with this idea. It's one-sided Mark/Roger, and the song is "All Hail The Heartbreaker" by The Spill Canvas. Reviews would be beautiful : )

When Mark brought Maureen to the loft for the first time, Roger knew that he'd missed his chance.
I had the notion that you'd make me change my ways
That my bad habits would be gone in a matter of days
I had the feeling that you'd open up my eyes
To a whole new world that had since been in disguise
But that day will most likely never come for me
And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck to everything you are
It had taken so much strength for him to admit to himself that he loved Mark. At first, he'd felt nothing for him. They'd just been roommates, and that was the extent of any feelings that he could have had.
So tonight, I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
And overanalyze your words
But the truth is, I've never fallen so hard
It's taken everything in me to forget your sweater so far
However, as their friendship evolved, Roger and Mark became a lot closer. They were beyond friends, they were practically brothers. That was when Roger felt like there was something more between them. After brothers, how much farther could their love for each other go? The thought scared Roger, and he tried to put it out of his mind.
I had the notion that you'd make me forget the world
But your indecisive mind shows me that you're just another girl
I had the feeling those looks you gave me were real
What if I ripped your heart apart at the seams?
Maybe then you'd know how I feel
After April had died, and Roger was struggling with drugs, Mark had always been there with unconditional love. Roger wanted to be loved like that for the rest of his life. More specifically, he wanted Mark to love him farther then a brother's love could ever go.
But that day will most likely never come for me
And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck to everything you are
So tonight, I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
And overanalyze your words
But the truth is, I've never fallen so hard
It's taken everything in my to forget your sweater so far
But when Maureen came into Mark's life, Roger had finally realized it. He was one hundred percent in love with Mark Cohen. And the second the two of them walked in the door, Roger felt like his heart had been ripped out of his chest.
I can honestly say that I never, ever felt this way
Your lips, your eyes, your skin
These are the parts of yuor body that cause my comatose to begin
Roger had never really liked Maureen. And when she dumped Mark, Roger was about ready to strangle her. He hated seeing Mark get hurt, and he couldn't help but think, "If Mark and I were together, I would never, ever hurt him."
I will sleep another day, I don't really need to, anyway
What's the point, when my dreams are infected with words you used to say?
I will breathe in a moment, as long as I keep my distance
I wouldn't want to go messing anything up
Then, there was Mimi. And although Roger loved her, he couldn't compare that love to what he felt for his best friend. Yet he stayed with Mimi, hoping that his feelings for Mark would pass, and he could live without everything hanging over his head.
So, don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about this constantly
So, maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect your life anymore
I knew it the moment you walked into the door
But the feelings never passed. They only grew. And it wasn't long before Mimi noticed. She confronted him, and he tried to deny it. But Mimi knew. And she continued to talk to him about it. "Go tell him." she said. "No day but today, right?"
And with that, Mimi kissed him on the cheek, and left. As long as he has Mark, she thought, he'll be alright.
As he watched Mimi leave, Roger thought about what she had said. He smiled. She's right, he thought. No day but today.
I'll let you get the best of me, because there's nothing else that I do well
I'll let you get the best of me, because there's nothing else that I do well
I'll be the giver, and you be the taker
I guess that's how this one's gonna go
I'll be the giver, and you be the taker
You've got me down on my knees, and I proclaim, "All hail the heartbreaker."
A/N: And that's it! So, what did you think? Good? Bad? Stupid? Let me know! Reviews would be nice :-)
