Disclaimer- I own nothing....pouts I wish I owned Dylan and Marco, though. I'd make them my sex slaves for life! (J/K) What I would actually do is devote a whole season to them! Yay! (I hate Emma....)

Characters/pairings for chapter- Marco/Dylan, Marco's dad, in a way....

First, before we go into the story, a brief history:

Marco and Dylan have been dating for 6 months. Everyone but Marco's parents knows about it. The furthest those two have gotton was a 2-hour make-out session in Dylan's bed. But soon, they'll go a lot farther than that... or will they? plays dramatic music that goes, 'dun dun!!!!' Okay, so they will go further, definitely. ;)

F.Y.I. I tried to do italics for 'flashback', but I'm not sure they're working, so you just have to know on your own when there's a flashback, and when it ends; -this means thoughts-, and I think that's all you need to know. Enjoy!



Paying For It

Marco and Dylan were sitting outside of the movie theatre in Dylan's car, kissing passionately. They had been this way for the past 15 minutes, and Dylan didn't want to end it, but he needed to have a talk with Marco. However, it took him another 10 minutes to finally pull away from his (horny!) boyfriend.

Marco looked questioningly up at Dylan, breathing hard. Just looking at Marco then would have made Dylan horny, but he already was, SO....

"Um...." Dylan began to speak, but then he suddenly stopped. –God, he has such an effect on me! I can't even remember what I was going to say. Now, what was it? Oh, god, he's so cute. Damn I want him... he would look so hott with his shirt off. And why stop there? Then I could start on his pants....-

By this time, Marco's breathing had almost completely returned to normal, and he was looking at Dylan expectantly.

"Go on...."

-Ah, I remember!-

"Marco, we need to talk about something."

At Dylan's words, a cute, worried look came over Marco's face, and Dylan couldn't help but smile. –He looks just too cute....-

Even though he knew this was important, Dylan couldn't help it: he leaned over and kissed Marco quickly on the lips, and as he pulled away to get back to business, he grabbed Marco's hand and started stroking it lightly with his thumb.

"Anyway Marco, I really think it's time you came out to your parents."

"But, Dylan, they-"

"Shh. Marco, you've been gay for what, two years?(1) It's high time you let them know. I mean, they are your parents. They deserve to know the truth. I know it'll be hard, but I'll be there with you, if you want."

Dylan looked at Marco, expecting him to just give him a flat-out no, end of story. But Marco just looked down at his knees, biting his lip. After two moments(2), he gazed back up at his boyfriend and sighed. "I know you're right Dylan, but I don't think I can. My dad... h-he'd be so furious... he'd probably throw me in a room full of angry killer bees(3) or something."

Dylan smiled slightly at Marco. "Honey, he's your dad. He wouldn't do that to you."

Marco shook his head vigorously. "No, Dylan, you don't understand. He..." Marco stopped, looking extremely pained.

"He what?" Dylan asked, squeezing his hand. Marco stared back down at his knees, tears coming to his eyes, as he told Dylan exactly what about his dad....

A/N- The scene starts to get all cloudy and swirl away to be replaced by Marco's memory from a year back, just like the scene does in "That 70's Show".

Marco and his dad were sitting on the couch, watching TV. Tired of flipping around the channels, Marco's dad just randomly selects one. The show is called "Legrassie", and neither Marco nor his dad have ever seen it. Much to Mr. Del Rossi's disgust, on the screen he sees two of the characters, Mark and Dillon, making-out. Marco smiled, daydreaming about how nice it would be to have a boyfriend to love and kiss, when his dad glanced over. His face immediately became clouded by anger, and he hit Marco hard on the arm.

"What are you smiling for!?" He screamed.

Marco quickly suppressed his smile, but the damage had already been done.

"Do you enjoy watching those two queers!?" He hit Marco again, harder this time.

"You listen to me! You will never, ever be like those two fags! Do you hear me!? Never!" Mr. Del Rossi hit Marco hard in the stomach with the remote. He then leaned over towards him to whisper slowly and viciously in his son's ear:

"If I ever find out that your one of them, I will make you pay."

With that said, he hit Marco again, and got up, leaving a disbelieving Marco to sit shaking on the couch alone.

"Do you see?" Marco cried. "I can't ever tell him! Who knows what he'd do to me?" Marco started crying even harder, and Dylan just held him for four- and-a-half moments, thinking over what Marco had just told him.

"Marco," He finally said. Marco pulled away and looked up at Dylan tearfully. "Yeah?" He replied, trying his best to quit being what, in his mind, was a pathetic, sniveling wimp, in front of Dylan.

Dylan ran his hand through Marco's incredibly soft hair and continued. "Your dad won't do anything drastic. He'll still love you and care about you, it just may take him a while to remember that. Your parents are going to find out somehow, sooner or later. It would be best for you to tell them now, before you have to add, 'And guess what else? I'm pregnant!'"

Marco laughed despite himself, and Dylan was glad to hear it.

"Yeah, I don't think that last part's gonna happen."

"Hey, we can try! Who knows?" Dylan said playfully, winking at his boyfriend.

Marco laughed again, but then reverted back to seriousness.

"Okay, I know you're right; I guess I have to tell them. They're not going to take it well, mind you."

Dylan smiled encouragingly down at Marco. "It'll be okay, I promise. Now, do you want me to be there with you?"

"Yes, I need someone to force me to go through with it. Umm, h-how about this Friday?"





Now, two days later, Marco stood outside his house, boyfriend in hand. He couldn't remember a time when he had felt more nervous. He hadn't believed it possible to be more of a complete, total, utter, frantic emotional wreck than he was before his first date with Dylan, but he was way beyond proving himself wrong.

Marco glanced up at Dylan. "Please talk me out of this."

Dylan smiled lovingly down at Marco, and gave his hand a comforting squeeze, but didn't say anything..

Marco sighed. "Fine, be that way." he said, smiling nervously.

"Let's get this over with."




A/N So, whaddya think? If it sucks, then please realize, this is my first fanfic ever, so it's allowed. The next chapter is gonna be freakin' hell for Marco, because I just love seeing horribly depressing misery and suffering. Yaaaaaaaaaay horribly depressing misery and suffering! ANYway, so the next chapter is gonna be rated a big, fat, major "R" for, well, everything. But, I need reviews first, 'cause I'd like to know that people are actually READING my story before I go and spend more time on it then I already have. I don't care if you want to say, "You fuking SUCK!", as long as you tell me why, and give me tips for improvement. So anyway, in an unrelated topic, I'M STARVING!!! Ahem, anyway, please review! Since this story is still new and I don't have any ideas beyond Chapter 2, let me know what you'd like to read, and I'll contemplate putting it in. Thanx! ; )

P.S. Hey, did you guys catch that the show they were watching was Degrassi!? I'm sorry, you probably did, but I'm kinda slow, so I most likely wouldn't have gotten it. But, I had to make sure you guys did!

(1) I have no idea how long Marco's been gay for, it's so hard to keep track of time on TV, so I just picked a length of time, so just go along with it.

(2) The whole "two moments" thing. It's in these books, the Xanth series, and the author always has, "After two moments had passed...." or "five-and-three- quarters of a moment later....", and I think it's hilarious, so I had to put it in here.

(3) For those of you who haven't seen "It's Raining Men" (if there IS anyone who hasn't seen that GREATEST EPISODE EVER episode), Marco is terrified of bees.

(4) I'm still starving....
