Hello all readers. This is my first Degrassi story, I've been putting it off forever, but since we are having snow-days and I'm bored, I decided to write on it. First warning, I don't own them, though I love them. Them being the characters. I'm not making money, I'm poor, please don't sue, I have to save all cash that I have for California, but I'm really not doing a good job at it.
Second, This is SLASH. I don't think I should have to put that warning considering Marco is GAY on the show and so is Dylan.
Third, it's not beta'd. If you find any mistakes that annoy you badly, leave a review and tell me, or email me at umblgumber@hotmail.com.
Finally, I was wondering if anyone knew Adamo and Ryan's real sexuality. Cause I was reading an article in "The Advocate" and it seemed like they might have been, but I might have just been reading between the lines.
Oh, yeah. Anyone who watches Degrassi on the-n, I was wondering if you knew when the new eppy's are gonna start back? Also, in the "New in 2004" commercials, with Paige and Spinner at the Hospital, who is that in the bed? I really wanna know! It's killing me, cause the hair was dark…

"Marco, this is my brother Dylan, our chauffer for the day," Marco's mind registered Paige's voice.
"Actually we already know each other," Marco replied as he started putting his stuff into the van.
"Good, so you won't mind sitting in the front so that me and Paige have this seat to ourselves," Spinner stated as he closed the door.
"Cool," Marco said as he going into the front, "Hey Dylan."
"Hey Marco," Dylan said smiling at him. When the doors were shut he put the van into drive and pulled out of the parking lot.
"Sorry that Ellie couldn't come," Hazel said from the back seat next to Jimmy.
"It's not that bad. We're still friends," Marco replied, turning his head around, but glancing at Dylan from the corner of his eye.
Rest of the ride was full of meaningless chatter, with Marco and Dylan stealing glances every so often.
They arrived at the beach and everyone started to get out of the car, as Marco started to do the same he felt a hand on his arm, "We need to talk for a second."
"What about?" Marco asked as he looked into Dylan's eyes.
"Are you sure that you are reading to tell them about you? About us?"
"I'm sure. Nothing will make me more happy than being able to be myself around them."
"As long as you are sure," Dylan said before giving Marco's hand a squeeze and getting out of the van.
Marco watched him go before getting out also and grabbing his c.d. player. He walked to the back to see if there was anything else to be carried. Spinner's voice floated towards him, "Do you want me to look like some homo?" There was a pause, Marco figured that Dylan must have been around, "I didn't mean homo as in gay, I meant is as in…"
"Milk?" Marco smiled at his boyfriend's voice, "I told her not to pack that ridiculous basket."
"And I told Spinner not to be an insensitive jerk."
"Here's Marco, carrying nothing," Jimmy said when he saw Marco.
"Hey," Marco said, offended. He held up the c.d. player, "I'm carrying something."
"Don't break a nail Marcie," Spinner said laughingly.
Marco pretended to investigate his nails, "Oh my God," He said in a high-pitched voice, "I think I already did." He placed the player in Spinner's already full arms, "You better carry this."
"Hay! Carry that!" Spinner ordered him.
"Oh, no. I couldn't. You are doing such a good job at it," Marco replied before rushing to catch up with Paige and Hazel leaving Spinner, Jimmy and Dylan behind.
"Dude," Jimmy said, as Marco started talking to Paige, "You need stop with the Marcie thing. It was funny back then, but now it's just getting old."
Before Spinner could reply, Paige called to them, "Who's up for volleyball?"
"Me and Jimmy challenge you four," Spinner called back to his girlfriend, pointing at the two girls along with Marco and Dylan.
"I think you should at least take Marco on your team, to where you have a chance at winning," Hazel said, also wanting to even out the teams.
"As if Marco can play," Spinner scoffed.
"I wouldn't judge him. He's been getting pointers," Paige replied remembering seeing her brother attempt to show Marco how to stop a spiked ball in their backyard, "And it's a good idea."
"Fine, fine," Spinner gave in.
The game started with Marco serving. Spinner was shocked when the serve gained them the first point, "I can't play, Spin?" Marco teased before serving again.
When Dylan moved to spike the ball, Marco was ready for it, falling to his knees (A/N: *wink* *wink*) The game continued with much laughing and spinner getting hit in the head quite a few times.
"Great game guys," Dylan told the boys as they started walking away.
"Yeah, we got beat but a hockey player and two girls," Spinner wasn't happy.
"I've got four tickets to my game would you guys be interested?" Dylan made it a consolation prize of sorts.
"Yeah," was the simultaneously reply.
"You were great," Marco told him as everyone walked off.
"So were you. The practice I've been giving you helped a lot," Dylan said as he wiped his face with a towel.
"Yeah, thanks for that. I was wondering-" Marco was cut off as his back got soaked. He turned to see Jimmy and Spinner trying to look angelic. He grabbed the water gun that was propped up next to the cooler and ran towards them, leaving Dylan laughing.
The water war had begun; no mercy was shown for anyone, even Paige who accidentally walked in front of Marco. He used her to block a shot from Spinner. He silently laughed at her misfortune, when he noticed a shadow falling over him. He smiled into the blue eyes before squirting them with water and turning to run off.
"Civilian here!" The older man yelled at him.
"Doesn't matter, you entered the war zone, you are free target," Marco replied before he got doubled up on by Spinner and Jimmy. He watched Dylan sit down, the Paige following his example.
"Don't stare too long Marcie, people might thing you like him," Spinner stated as they took a break.
"And if I do?" Marco challenged him. Spinner was silent for a moment before walked towards Paige. Marco then turned to Jimmy, "What about you?"
"I supposed you. I went through a bad time when Ash's dad came out," Jimmy replied, "Now let's see what kind of drama Spin has shook up."
The two boys walked over to there the others were sitting. Marco returned the smile Dylan gave, before moving to the table to get something to eat.
"Hey guys," Marco go their attention, "I'm gay."
The chatter stopped completely, but Paige got over it quickly and moved to give him a hug, "So, are you seeing anyone? Cause, Hun, Dylan is quite a catch."
"Actually," Dylan cut in, moving to put his arm around Marco's waist, "He's already dating said catch."
Paige also squealed with happiness for her brother, "This is so great!"
Marco smiled at her, happy that she was happy for them, "Wow. No wonder you never showed interest in me," Hazel said from where she sat, next to Jimmy.
The only person in the group that wasn't saying anything was Spinner, Marco noticed. Dylan must have also, because when Marco turned to face the water, he gave him a little squeeze, "It'll be okay," he whispered before kissing his cheek and walking to get them something to eat.
"I hope so," Marco whispered to himself, before walking towards the rocks, not giving anyone an explanation for him leaving. Just knowing that Dylan would follow him later.

"Way to go Marco," Ellie told him when he got to school the next day. She had heard a few people talking about Marco and Dylan.
"Thanks El," Marco replied, he moved to this locker and opened it, realizing that he didn't have to keep the posters up, he smile as he took them down and replaced them with pictures of him and Dylan, "It feels good."
Ellie's reply was cut off with the arrival of Dylan, "Hey babe," the older boy said, wrapping arms around his waist.
"Hey," Marco smiled at Dylan in the mirror of his locker and chanced a quick look at Ellie, he was glad when she was smiling at them.
"You want to eat lunch with me? I know a few people you might like to meet, that will probably love to meet you, considering," Dylan took a step back, letting Marco turn, he kissed his forehead.
"Maybe for a bit, promised Jimmy I'd help him study for a test," Marco replied, as he blushed from the affection. It still surprised him that Dylan was so affectionate in public.
"Great, I'll see ya then," Dylan kissed him one more time, before walking towards a group of guys.
Marco's cheeks were still flushed when he turned back towards Ellie, "That was almost sickening sweet," Ellie told him, trying to look serious, but couldn't when she was so happy for her friend.
Marco pushed her lightly, "It's great. He's really great," Marco's voice was light and full of affection.
"I still can't believe it! Every one might know, and you are just deliriously happy," Ellie voiced her thoughts as the two of them finally walked towards class.
"God El, it's not really a big deal." Marco replied, smiling at Ellie's look of shock.
"Not a big deal? We 'dated' for a very long time Marco, cause you didn't want anyone to know. You are just being cool about it cause your hockey player boyfriend can probably beat up anyone he wants to," Ellie reasoned as they entered the room.
Marco turned and walked backwards, cause he knew the room well, and wanted to see her face when she told him the next part, "Spin isn't to happy about it. I've got a feeling that I'll be getting called Marc-"
"Watch where you're going, Marcie. Don't want you to get hurt," came the familiar voice of Spinner.
"Whatever," Marco replied, not even looking at him before turning back to Ellie, "As I was saying, I've got a feeling-"
"Marco!" he was cut off when he felt someone shove into him, and Ellie's voice rang out. He put his arms out to stop his fall, but it didn't help when his head hit one of the desks.
"Marco? Marco?" a voice called to him, "Someone get the teacher or the nurse, hurry!" The voices of other's started to fade into the background and blackness consumed him.
