Part 4 - The Movie

Dylan looked all over Degrassi for Marco that afternoon, but never found him. When he got home from hockey practice, Dylan immediately picked up the phone and dialed Marco's number.
"Hello?" Marco's voice came over the other end.
"Hey it's Dylan," Dylan replied back.
"Listen, Dylan."
"Wait, Marco. I just want to say that I didn't expect anything more from you. I'm new at this whole guy/guy thing too, and if you just want to be friends then that's fine with me. But I would like us to be more." There was silence on the other end. "Marco?"
"I'm here."
"I guess I'll let you go then."
"No wait. Dylan. would you like to go to a movie tonight?"
"Which one?"
"Elf?"
"I would love to see it."
"Great. um. meet you at the theatre say. around 8?"
"Marco, why don't I just pick you up?"
"Well."
"Unless you're not comfortable with that."
"Well. aren't you worried what people will say?"
"Marco. I came out two years ago. I've been called every name in the book. Plus, we're seeing the movie together. I think that's going to be worse than us riding in the same car." Marco chuckled.
"Fine. Be here around 7:45?"
"I'll be there."

Around 7:45, Dylan pulled up to Marco's house. Marco was waiting outside so his parents wouldn't have to meet Dylan. He hopped into Dylan's car and greeted him with a smile.
"I swear that is the perfect smile," Dylan said. Marco just smiled wider.
They drove along in silence for a little while. Dylan broke it.
"So, you excited about this movie?"
"Yeah it looks really good."
"Yeah. Will Ferel is pretty funny."
"Yeah."
"That seems to be our favorite word," Dylan remarked with a chuckle.
"Yeah." They both broke out laughing.
About five minutes later, they were sitting in their seats in the movie theatre. As the previews started, they realized that they were two of only seven people in the audience.
"This is weird. Elf is supposed to be the big movie," Marco said.
"It's a Wednesday night Marco," Dylan whispered.
"Oh. yeah." Marco was embarrassed.
"Don't worry. We all say. embarrassing stuff every now and then."
"Yeah. I guess I'm just extra nervous right now."
Dylan placed his hand softly on Marco's knee. "Is that better?" Marco smiled.
