Marco was sitting on the staircase complaining to Craig. "I can't go downstairs to that guy's room, I can't go back to the party with Dylan, so what the hell am I suppose to do?"

Before Craig could answer, they heard Dylan call to Marco, who, in return, did the first thing he could think of. He grabbed Craig and kissed him.

Dylan gave them a weird look and then walked away after saying "ok…" Marco looked at Craig, eyes wide. He couldn't believe that he had just done that.

"I need to fix things with Dylan" he stated and ran off.

Craig just sat there shocked for 2 reason. 1.) That Marco had just kissed him and 2.) That he had actually liked it…

Marco chased after Dylan who finally stopped at the end of the hallway. "What was that Marco?" Marco shrugged and gave him his innocent puppy-dog eyes that most guys and girls would have melted for but Dylan didn't budge.

"Well, what do you want me to say?"

"I don't know, maybe that I made you jealous?" Marco replied hopefully.

But to his disappointment, Dylan laughed and said, "It was Craig" like it was no big deal.

Why wouldn't he be jealous of me kissing Craig? Craig's hot! Whoa! Did I just think that Craig was hot? No, I can't think that. Craig's just my friend. My straight friend. My very hot straight friend. No! Bad Marco! Don't go there again.

Marco mentally slapped himself before returning his attention to Dylan. "Dylan, I don't wanna see other people." Marco whined in a childish-like voice.

He found it slightly amusing that he was saying this only seconds after he had been thinking that Craig was hot but he pushed that out of his mind. Dylan sighed.

"Look, Marco, I love you, and nothing will change that, but my freedom, I can't give that up."

Marco didn't say anything in reply. He couldn't. He felt his throat constrict so tight that he couldn't swallow, his head started pounding, and he couldn't breath, like all the air had been sucked from his body.

He mutely nodded 'ok' and walked away before Dylan could see the tears brimming in his eyes. He ran into several people and pushed past them on his way out, but he didn't care.

He just needed to get out. Out where, he didn't know, but any place other than this.

"Marco?" Craig asked as he saw Marco walk past him looking like he was about to cry. He had been sure that Marco would work things out with Dylan. Craig was under the impression that Marco and Dylan had broken up.

What is wrong with Dylan? Doesn't he see how lucky he is to be with Marco? Marco is nice, funny, smart, hot, and a good kisser… Wait! Don't think that. You're straight, god damnit! That seemed to help.

He followed Marco outside to comfort him. He knew Marco was about to cry so he led him back to his house. It was closer than Marco's was, and Joey wasn't home so Marco could have peace and quiet.

Marco retained from crying on the way back. Craig had to give him credit, he knew how to hold it in until it was the right time.

But when they finally got to Craig's garage, Marco pulled Craig towards him and held onto him for dear-life as he buried his head into his shoulders and cried his eyes out.

Craig wrapped his arms around him and whispered soothingly "Shh… Its gonna be ok." Craig led him to the couch slowly, and they both sat down.

Neither of them were really sure of how long they held each other but after what seemed like hours (and probably was,) Marco pulled away from Craig's embrace.

He stared straight into his eyes. Meanwhile, Craig's heart was breaking for Marco.The pain in marco's eyes was indesribable, so anguished, yet so beautiful.

A small blush crept across Craig's cheeks so he quickly looked away. It wasn't like anything he had ever felt before.

They sat there in silence for a while before Marco finally spoke.

"Sorry, you must think I'm such a loser now."

He was embarrassed to have cried in front of Craig like that. Craig put two fingers under Marco's chin and lifted his head so he was looking at him. Marco shifted under his gaze.

"Marco, you could never be a loser."

Craig lovingly wiped away the tears on Marco's cheeks with his thumbs. He couldn't stop himself. Before he even knew what he was doing, he leaned in and tenderly kissed Marco's pouty lips.

It was a short kiss, but still meaningful. When Marco didn't say anything and his face didn't convey any hint of how he was feeling, Craig started to panic. He backed away.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have, I didn't mean to, I just, I…" He was at a loss for words.

Marco suddenly started laughing. Craig looked at him, confused, but Marco didn't stop. He just kept on smiling and giggling.

Craig, while glad to see Marco happy, was really confused and kinda hurt that Marco started laughing after Craig had kissed him. What did that mean? Was he really that bad? Finally Marco stopped.

"You look so cute when you're panicking."

He smiled and Craig smiled back, blushing slightly. Marco leaned in and captured Craig's lips in a kiss. This time, the kiss lasted a lot longer than the first had.

Craig gladly responded as soon as he had gotten over the shock. Marco laced his arms around Craig's neck as Craig put his arms around the smaller boy's body. The kiss deepened. For the first time that night, Marco wasn't upset.

Maybe this seeing other people thing won't be as bad after all…
