Main Verse
He was so used to cheering crowds and booming speakers as he stood on stage ready to perform.
But this was…nice. He didn't get this sort of quiet often enough.
Central hid the balcony from everyone but them. It was their place to be alone, together.
Marvin smiled as he listened to Jackie's breathing, the light breeze in the trees beyond, Central's occasional creaking as it spoke to someone inside. Nothing was ever truly silent around here, he thought, but it was a different kind of noise. This was a peaceful sort of noise that he could fall asleep to with his boyfriend in his arms.
He could tell his hero was awake by the sound of his breathing, but Jackie was just enjoying the silence as much as he was.
Marvin nuzzled into his partner's hair with a contented sigh. He closed cloudy eyes as he chuckled softly. "Remember when we first met?" he murmured. "I was just…in awe. A real superhero, right here."
"Heh. Yeah." He could hear the smile in Jackie's voice. "How 'bout Chase trying so hard to hint at us we should go on a date?"
"God, I think he knew way before we did, didn't he?" Marvin wrapped his arms around his partner's chest, chin on Jackie's head as he hummed. "Even Cents started playin' matchmaker with us." They both laughed when the balcony light flickered and the building creaked. "Yeah, you play innocent, you mischievous shit."
Jackie settled back against his chest, head leaned back against his shoulder and fingers twining with Marvin's. "Look where we are now."
