-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marco woke up to Gaou saying, "It's time to go." and batted away the hand that was in his hair. He hated it when anyone messed with it. He remembered all at once where he was and he struggled to get up. Large arms unwound from his middle, and he stood, feeling more than a little lightheaded. Gaou said again, "It's time to go."

"Thanks for waking me. Sorry for falling asleep in the first place."

"I didn't mind. You look peaceful when you sleep."

Marco tried to ignore the stalker-like comment and headed for the door. This time it opened, and he walked out, cool air hitting him and waking him up some more. One of he first years approached him. "Hey sorry, we meant it as a prank towards Gaou, see how long he could actually stay in there and all. We didn't know for a while that you were in there too. But it's amazing that you can stay in there for so long! But yeah, sorry."

Marco frowned at him and started to walk to where his clothes were. "I accept your apology. But it's dangerous to lock people in the sauna, don't do it again."

He got dressed and wondered if it were really an accident that they had decided to pull their prank when he was in there alone with Gaou. He smelled a bit of a plot from someone. And he had a good idea as to who that was…

"Hey, Marco you ready to head home?" Think of the devil and he will appear.

"Hello Kisaragi, yeah as soon as Gaou's ready we'll go."

"M'kay."

Soon, Gaou was ready, and the three walked out the door. Where Gaou and Kisaragi should have broken off from him to go their separate way home, only Kisaragi did. Gaou kept walking with him. As they walked, Gaou took Marco's hand in his. Marco blushed and looked away, but his hand didn't try to pull from Gaou's grasp. After a few seconds Gaou let it go with a faint smile. When they got to Marco's house, Marco turned to Gaou and said awkwardly, "You could come in if you want. I can make us lunch."

Gaou nodded and followed Marco inside. Ducking under the doorframe, he looked around. The walls of the house were a relaxing blue color and everything was very neat, unlike his own house. He took off his shoes and followed Marco into the kitchen. A small woman, smaller than Marco, was sitting in the kitchen. She looked up and smiled, "Marco honey, you're home. I got off work early today so I already made lunch. And who is your friend?"

Marco smiled. "Mom, meet Gaou, a lineman from the team. Gaou, I'd like to introduce you to my mother."

Sango nodded politely at the tall boy, and then turned to Marco, "I need to you go get some more groceries to make additional lunch for our guest. Here, I'll write you a list."

Once Marco had left, she turned to the giant boy who had taken a seat. "So you're on the line of the American football team?"

"Yes."

"Okay then I have to ask you, is Marco really safe out there? I know he always says he's fine, but I don't know if he just doesn't want me to worry about him."

The slight shift in Gaou's face was so quick that she barely even saw it, but when he spoke next his voice held a fierce edge to it. "I will not allow anyone to get past me to Marco, I swear it."

After Marco got back, they all ate lunch together, and then Marco excused the two of them to his room. Marco sat in his desk chair, and Gaou reclined against the wall before commenting. "Your mother seems very protective of you."

"Yeah, it can get a bit frustrating, but she means well. What's your mom like?"

Gaou shrugged, "She's pretty protective of my sister but she knows I can take care of myself."

"You have a sister?"

"Kagome, she's small like my dad. Do you have any siblings?"

Marco shook his head. "No it's just me and mom."

Gaou wanted to ask about what happened to his father, but something held him back. It wasn't his place to ask, not yet anyway. Gaou, instead, took the time to look around Marco's room. Lists were posted on the wall, and paper crowded the desk but otherwise the room was neat. A picture on the wall caught his attention; it was the team picture from last year. He towered over everyone else the team and had to stand in the back for it. Marco himself stood in the foreground as the team captain. It had been taken right before the game with the Gunmans, and he could see his nervousness through the smile Marco had given the camera. He had wondered if they had replaced Kid with anyone with guts. The game last year had been fun.

Marco starred at Gaou, who was starring at a fixed point behind his head. Suddenly, he wondered what they were, and he voiced his question hesitantly. "So- are we dating or something now?"

Gaou looked at him. "If you want us to be."

Marco thought it over before saying. "Okay, I'd say let's try it."

Gaou looked like he was about ready to say something back, when his phone began to ring. He fished it from his pocket, and answered it. Marco was struck by how small the device seemed in those massive tan hands and how well Gaou handled it anyways. He listened to Gaou's half of the conversation, "Hello? -Uh-huh- Sorry I forgot- yeah I'll leave now- love you too Mom, bye."

He put away the phone and started to get up, "Sorry, I have to go, forgot I have a doctor's appointment today."

Marco rose to show him to the door, "That's fine."

Gaou bent to give him a small kiss. Marco blushed furiously. Gaou couldn't stop from chuckling as he said, "You're cute when you blush."

Marco turned even redder, he just wasn't used to this kind of attention from anyone, let alone Gaou. But he kind of ... liked it. Just as they reached the door, Marco looked around to see if his mom was watching and then tugged on Gaou's sleeve. "Can you...bend down a little?"

Gaou did so, a questioning look on his face. Marco kissed him quickly on the cheek then drew away. "Thanks for letting me have a choice. Anyway, I'll see you at practice."

Gaou stole one more kiss before straightening. "Yeah, see you then."

When the door closed, Marco headed back to his room to lie down on his bed. So much had happened in just the first half of the day, he was feeling overwhelmed by it all. He needed to run through everything, sort it all out. He and Gaou were now dating. Did he have a problem with dating a guy? Honestly, he had always considered himself straight, but his dream this morning and the way Gaou had acted convinced to at least give it a try, if only for Gaou. What did he have to lose after all? It wasn't like Maria would ever get past his ruthless side to really like him.

But how was he supposed to act in a relationship with another guy? He supposed he'd have to take his cues from Gaou on that. Perhaps he'd do a little research on the more intimate details of such relationships. He thought he remembered some girls referring to it as Yaoi, though why they cared, he had no clue. Whatever.

He sighed and reached for his backpack. He had homework to do, and the next game was only days away. He really did need to find a new team manager, so he'd have less work. Till then though, it was unlikely he'd have much extra time to see Gaou besides during practices. He clicked his pencil and got to work.
