Silver Tears
By Daze
NOTE: Sorry for how long this took. Daze has been reviewing for the mid- terms at school and has been sick. Daze's cat, Lucky, has also been sick. This starts right where chapter three left off. It's in Roger POV. ((Mark is HARD to write for!! @_@)) Once again, these people do not belong to me. They belong to the Late Great Jonathan Larson. Daze wants her own Mark. Daze wants a chibi Mark. But she doesn't own him. ;_; She does have a Marky doll she's making, though.
Anyways…
ENJOY n_n!!!
Chapter Four: Christmas Day ((Roger))
I seriously must have the cutest boyfriend ever. He opens his present from Joanne and Maureen and his whole face lights up. He hugs the book and I couldn't help but start laughing. Mimi and Maureen were laughing too. Joanne looked like she was trying not to. Mimi tells us she didn't have enough money to buy us anything so she would treat us both to ice cream later that week. She said it was either gifts for everyone, or AZT. And "No offence guys, but I chose to live." I told her it was ok. I felt kind of tired all of a sudden… I didn't fall asleep until after midnight last night. I yawned and Mimi asked if I was all right. I told her I was a little tired… that I only needed some sleep. She moved over and said if I wanted, I could lay down on the couch. I stretched out and rested my head on Mark's lap. He looked down at me and laughed. I grinned at him took a short nap.
When I opened my eyes, the girls were still here, and Collins was, too. "Hey kid. Merry Christmas" he waved to me. "Hey!" I sat up and leaned against Mark. "You stayed there the whole time?" "Yeah… I wasn't gonna leave you on the couch asleep!" I started to snuggle up against him, rubbing my face on his. He started to giggle. "Geeze Roger! Are you a cat or something?" Joanne asked me. I looked up and Collins tossed me a wrapped package. "It's for the both of you." I decide to let Mark open it and I watch him as he pulls out a beautiful quilt for our bed. "Wow… Collins! This is so cool! Thank you!" Mark is still staring at the quilt, smiling. I quickly wrap it around him and hold him like he's a little kid. Oh, he looks so cute like that.
Mimi says something about her new boyfriend is taking her to lunch for Christmas so she should get going. My ears perk up at this. Mimi has a new boyfriend? I feel Mark's arm go tighter around me. He looks at me as if to say 'I'm the one you chose… don't leave me… I need you'. I quickly nod. Mimi gives me and Mark both a kiss and hugs Collins before heading out. Joanne and Maureen head out to the lot. Maureen was doing a Christmas presentation. "Collins, are you gonna stay here?" my film maker asks. "Sure. I'll stick around for a while." He paused and looked at us cuddled up. "You guys remind me so much of myself and Angel. I miss him so much, and it makes me feel so good to see you two together." Mark looks up at me and I nod. I carry him over to where Collins is sitting and put him down next to him. (I've gotten pretty strong in the past few weeks carrying Mark around the loft) I sit on the other side of him and the three of us sit there in a group hug for a long time. After awhile, I get up to make some more hot chocolate (a gift from Mark's mom – gourmet hot chocolate) for us and I glance back at my Mark. He has his arms wrapped tightly around Collins and is wearing a kind of sad smile. I sat back down next to Collins and hand each of them a mug full of chocolate. Collins starts asking me how we've been doing lately. I tell him about how both of us have been a lot more tired – and we have! I never used to take naps during the day. He tells us that that's normal for things like that to start to happen during the colder months.
We talk for a while longer. Mark tells Collins about his idea for a new film, Collins tells us about a teaching job that opened up at a high school near by. We talked about what ever came into our heads for 3 hours. After that, Collins looked at his watch and saw that it said 7:00 PM. He looked at Mark, just as he yawned and stretched. "How early do you usually got to bed?" "7:30-ish… like I said, we've both been tired lately." "Hmmm… I don't want you guys to miss too much sleep… I'll head home. I'll see you guys at my New Years party. Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah." And he left. Mark lit the candles on his little menorah. And opened my present to him: tickets to go to an indi film festival in January. "Thank you!!" he cried and hugged me.
I ruffled his hair a little. "Come on kiddo. Lets go to bed." I helped him into our room. Without even bothering to change into pajamas, we fell asleep under out new quilt, his hand wrapped around mine.
