Bruises and Books

25. fence
Marcus stared at the wall across from his desk in the library. It was a plain wall, nothing too extravagant or too bare. The wall kept his attention, even though Marcus did not fully realize that he was giving it. He didn't like to admit the cause of his distraction, even to himself, but he was distracted. Fine, he was distracted by Percy Weasley. There, now go away and let Marcus daydream in peace. Well, Marcus wasn't exactly peaceful when he daydreamed, especially when Percy interrupted his daydreams.
"Marcus, you need to focus on your essay," Percy said in that holier-than-thou attitude of his that only succeeded in annoying Marcus.
Marcus wanted to say many things in return, none of them nice. He, however, responded with a grunt that could have meant anything. Percy was surrounded by an impenetrable fortress: nothing would bring the boy down to his knees.
Marcus scribbled out three more words before he was distracted again. This time it was by Percy studying him.
"What?" Marcus ground out.
Percy simply continued to stare.
Marcus became only more irritated. "What is it, Weasley?"
"You have this wall about you, I find it curious."
Marcus scoffed at the irony.
While he was distracted, Percy swooped down and stole a kiss.
This irritated Marcus further: how dare Percy break through his wall while he was unable to do so with Percy.
Marcus growled and pinned Percy down on his chair while he all but climbed into Percy's lap to gain access to his mouth.
Marcus didn't finish his essay.
