We Make Our Own Choices
Summary: Dil and Mark have been going out for three months. Things are going good until something happens, forcing Mark to realize that he is danger to Dil. Will he end it or will he ignore it? This contains slash... Please don't read it you don't like it... I don't like flames saying crap like 'Your story is sick' and crap like that.
Disclaimer: I can't believe I forgot to add this to the first few chapters... oops! Well I don't own and if you do sue me all you will get a piece of paper with phone numbers on it.
Warnings: Slash, harsh language, and some kissing between two dudes...
A/N: So here I am sitting my lazy booty on the computer talking to people. When I say I should write the next chapter out... Spice of life so 'nicely' said I should work on this chapter instead of my Hey Arnold Fic... So here I am sitting here working on this story instead of the other one! That was a pointless ramble and I think I've taken up a few seconds of your life... so I'm gonna get on with the chapter before I have an angry mob of people chasing after me with pitchforks and sporks! Enjoy the chapter! Oh and chapter is not beta'ed... again. I felt bad for making you people wait so long. I'll send it out later... hopefully...
'Oh shit,' Dil thought. 'Someone's told them.'
"Dil, son we want you to know we aren't mad at you. Just disappointed," his father said with 'the look.'
"Dad, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner," Dil says.
"It's fine son," his mom cut him off.
"I should have told you that..."
"You failed the math test we know," he father said cutting him off.
"What? Oh right the math test," he said sighing in relief. 'Wow thought they got a phone call saying I was gay.'
"Son, we want you to study more," his mom said, frowning.
"Ok, mother," he said. "Is it alright if I go upstairs?"
"Yes, but try to study," they said.
Dil walked up to Tommy's room, where the others were currently at. They looked up as the door opened. He entered the room akwardly.
"So," Tommy asked.
"The phone call was about," Dil replied building up the suspense.
"What?" his older brother practically yelled.
"Me failing a math test!" the younger one replied laughing at the looks on their faces. "You... have... to... see... your... faces!" he said between laughs.
"You little fucker!" They exclaimed glaring and walking toward him.
Dil instantly stopped laughing and had a scared glint in his eyes. Backing away slowly, trying to look innocent. The three other kids were moving towards him, evil glints in their eyes. Tommy started to crack his knuckles as the surrounded him.
"Don't do it!" he said running to the other side of the bed.
"Oh Dil, we aren't going to hurt you." Mark said in a really sweet voice.
"What are you going to do than?"
"Just torture you."
"NO," he exclaimed diving under the bed.
"You can't stay under there forever," Kimi cooed.
"I bet you I can."
"Dil dude, it's been two hours," Tommy said looking at the clock.
"I don't trust you, you're gonna kill me!" he exclaimed from under the bed.
"We won't, plus I wanna see the tattoo!"
"Fine, but you have to promise not to kill me," he said.
"We promise," they said together.
"Ok," he said reluctantly crawling from under the bed. "You know you have a lot of interesting stuff under your bed."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you have this huge ass dust bunny," he said grinning, showing the size of the bunny with his hand.
"Sweet sweet, show the thingie," Tommy said.
"Alrighty."
Dil pulled up his shirt and just below his belly button was a bright green dragon. Which is surrounded by orange and yellow flames that disappear into this pants. He let's his shirt fall back over it and looks up.
"How far down?"
"Not that far."
"Now I see why Mark looked pissed," Kimi said grinning.
"Shut it," Mark said, moody.
"Isn't it awesome?" Dil asked.
"Yeah, it's cool. Funny thing is we got it in pratically the same spot," Tommy said grinning.
"Really? Awesome!"
"Let's see it," Kimi said.
"Alrighty," he replied pulling up his shirt.
Just below his belly he had a Heartagram. It was black and had a little red around it. It was a decent size one, not that big, yet not that small. He let his shirt fall, similar to Dil, down and also looked up.
"Sick tattoo bro!" Dil exclaimed grinning.
"H.I.M is an awesome band," Mark said.
"Yep," Tommy replied. "Dudes I'm hungry."
"Yeah same here," Kimi said.
"Yeah."
The four kids all loaded up in Tommy and Dil's car and headed out to get some food. Tommy and Kimi in the front, Dil and Mark in the back. Dil reached up and turned the radio on, and 'Cold' from Crossfade came blasting through the speakers.[1] Mark looked out the window and noticed how it was becoming dark, well it was actually an orange color as the sun started to set.
"Tommy what time is it?"
"Almost 7," he replied.
"Ok," he said.
The kids finshed up and headed back out to the car. Darkness greeted them, as they walked outside. The stars were shining brightly in the sky and the half-moon looking down on them.[2] They walked to their car and headed toward the house. The laughing and joking that once filled the car turned into light snores and deep breathing. Tommy driving and yawning a lot. The day had been long and busy for all of the kids.
Tommy arrived at his house and woke the others up. All of them grumbled as they headed to the Pickle's front door. Turning the knob slightly they entered the house, the red light flashing on the answering machine was blinking. Dil walked over to it and hit the play button.
"Tommy, Dil, we had to go to work and are not going to be able to make it home tonight. We are stuck here, we will be home late tomorrow, sorry boys. We love you and NO parties!" their dad's voice rang through the speakers.
"Yay, no 'rents- again."
"PARTY!" Dil exclaimed dancing.
"Stop, dude that's just a no," Kimi said.
"That hurts... tear tear," he replied wiping away and invisible tear.[3]
"Right, so what are we going to do?"
"Sit here and stare at each other until we all feel akward!" Dil exclaimed grinning widely.
"Uhh, righty. You and Mark go ahead and do that," Tommy stated. "Kimi and I will go upstairs and chill there."
"Right, whatever."
Kimi and Tommy walked upstairs to who knows where. Dil and Mark turned on the tv and settled down in a chair. A big black fuzzy blanket wrapped around them. They started watching some movie on Lifetime.[4]
"No, don't go into the room, the dude is in there. Damn you went in!" Mark yelled at the tv.
"Dude, they can't hear you. WHAT? No don't do that, he's gonna- ouch that had to hurt."
The movie continued with Mark and Dil still yelling at the screen. The two teens upstairs decided to come down as see what the younger ones were doing. They desended the stairs, being as quiet as possible. Doing spy moves they snuck into the living room and looked at the TV. On the bottom right-hand side of the screen was the name, 'Lifetime.' Kimi and Tommy couldn't help but crack up, which started a chain reaction; Dil and Mark jumping, falling to the floor, glaring, chasing after the two, and locking them outside.
"How long should they stay-oh shit, Tommy has a key. RUN!" the younger boy said as he looked out the window at Tommy dangling the key.
"Where?"
"My room!"
The two boys darted up the stairs in a mad rush. Mark slipped and slide down a few stairs. Tommy and Kimi running right at them.
"Go, I'll be fine!" he exclaimed dramatic.
"I'll never leave you!" Dil replied, in the same tone, grabbing his hand and pulling him upstairs.
The two other kids were gainning on them. Dil's door was just a few feet away, they could taste victory. Just as they were nearing the door, Tommy and Kimi pounced, knocking them to the floor. Which started up a tag team play fight; that took place downstairs.
The four of them cleared a space in the living room and just as the fight started the phone rang. Tommy raced over to it and answered it, trying to sound as normal as possible.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Is Mark there?" the voice on the other end asked.
"Uhh, yeah. Yo Mark its for you," Tommy yelled.
"Ok," he said grabbing the phone. "Hello?"
"I warned you time and time again, DUMP HIM. I have little patience, you either dump him, or loose him for good."
"Who the fuck are you?"
"Your worst nightmare, now follow what I say or else."
"Fuck you, I'm not listening to you. I'll protect him and you won't get us."
"I warned you, beware," the voice said, slaming the phone down. "Dear sweet Mark, just wait," Geeky said as he walked out of his room and out into the dark sky.
"Mark, who was that?" Dil asked noting the distressed look on his face.
"I don't know, look I need to talk to you," he said frowning.
"Yeah, alright."
The two teens walked into the kitchen and settled down on the table. Mark turned to Dil and put his hand in the other boy's. A serious look on his face he frowned slighty.
"Ok, look, the person on the phone has been calling me for a long ass time. Everytime he has treatened me, told me to break up with you."
"Wha--what?"
"I told him I wasn't going to, but he said that I was going to pay this time. He said that he would come after you and-I don't want that. So its up to you, do you trust me enough to protect you, or do you want this to end?"
"Arg, why didn't you tell me before!?" he exclaimed, pulling his hand out of Mark's.
"I didn't want to worry you," he replied, crestfallen.
"But Mark, what if he came after you? That would worry me more."
"I-I'm sorry, but I was scared," he said looking down. "So what do we do?"
"We look out for each other, Tommy and Kimi can help to," Dil said smiling.
"Ar-are you sure?" he asked, tears shining in his eyes.
"Yes, just be sure if something like this happens again, you'll tell me. Promise?"
"Alright, I promise."
"Good, let's go tell them," he said grasping his hand.
The two boys left the kitchen and went into the living room. Determined to tell Tommy and Kimi about the phone call. Determined to get passed this bump. Little did they know, the person who called was right outside the house, watching their everymove. Needless to say this person was pissed off, and determined to get Dil for himself.
