Hello! Sorry that I've been kinda quiet lately, but I was able to make this. I really don't know why I've been so out of it, but I hope this makes up for it! Enjoy!
Marshall couldn't believe his ears, "Really? You mean it?" he asked pulling out of the blonde's arms, "I don't want to push you into something you don't want."
"Marshall, relax. I honestly didn't know I was gay. I had no idea. But kissing you… That wasn't something I could brush off. That meant something, and I'm not going to let it go. I'm not going to let you go." Gus poured every ounce of emotion into those words and Marshall felt himself tearing up.
Pulling him close, Marshall hugged him tight. A thought overtook him and his eyes widened. Pushing back he looked at Gus with scared eyes, "What about destiny?" He whispered.
Reaching a hand up, Gus brushed stray strands of hair off of Marshall's forehead. He felt his cheeks heat up at the affectionate gesture. "I don't think destiny will be a problem. My story ends with me and my sister going home. After that, I'm free." Cupping his face, Gus looked him dead in the eyes. "And you?"
Marshall found it easier than he expected to respond, "I'm not mentioned after the tea party scene. I suppose, in your logic, I'm free after that." He was still hesitant, but proceeded to bend down and press their lips together. It was short and sweet. It left them both with goofy smiles on their faces. Leaning their foreheads against one another's they felt as if nothing could go wrong. Boy, were they wrong.
"I'm going to have to tear you away from that cousin of yours. She is nothing but trouble and is always dragging you down with her." Gus rolled his eyes as he scrubbed at the floor of the headmaster's office.
"She just likes a thrill," Gus said, and at that Marshall scoffed. "She does! And she's not dragging me down with her, I love sweets just as much, remember?"
Giving a sigh, Marshall nodded. Reaching down, he tugged at the collar of Gus' shirt, pulling him up to standing. Lifting a hand to brush over Gus' lips, Marshall whispered, "Well I love you, remember?"
Gus bit his lip and moved further into Marshall's arms, "I know. I'm sorry. She's family, you know? I just can't say no."
A soft smile slid onto Marshall's lips and he shook his head lightly, "I'm not asking you to abandon her, just try not to get into as much trouble. I feel like it's been weeks since we spent the night hanging out together."
Glancing around quickly to check that they were alone, Gus lunged forward to brush his lips over Marshall's, "I know. I know. I promise that I'll rush and be back by 7. We can spend the rest of the night doing whatever you want. I promise."
Chuckling quietly, Marshall pulled away and walked backwards down the hall, "I hope that you can keep that promise." At the questioning look from the blonde he elaborated, "My dad sent us a ten pack of chocolate bars."
"Wait, really?" Gus said, mouth watering for the candy.
"Yup," Marshall said with a smirk, "Told you he liked you." Marshall had never been ashamed of his sexuality, so his father was very aware of his relationships. Through letters and calls, Marshall told his father everything about Gus and his father was more than happy for him.
On the other hand, Gus was much more personal about it. Hilda and his mother didn't know and he had no idea how to tell them. He had a feeling that his mother would understand, but Hilda was far from understanding in that department. She was disgusted to learn that Marshall was gay, and even more so that he was roommates with her brother. He debated talking to his mom about it, but is still on the fence about it. Shaking his head, Gus scrubbed the floor with a quicker incentive. Because, let's be honest, he really wanted that chocolate.
There we go! I hope that you guys liked it! I really do apologize that I haven't been around much, but I'm going to try to change that. Other than that, I will see you guys soon. Bye!
