Lost Time

Marcus really isn't sure what he's trying to make up for. He thinks it might be that he spent so much time withdrawn and cold to the world that he's forgotten what it's like to be in a relationship.

And he's terrified about making mistakes.

Seth is... Seth is life. He's everything that Marcus could never be and he's everything that he needs and wants and has been searching for all this time. What Seth did was pull him out of his darkness and breathe new life into him. He gave him another chance at an existence that he'd long since given up on.

He doesn't want to hurt him. He wants... he isn't sure what he wants, just that Seth is mixed up in there and his happiness and he's hoping that he doesn't mess up. Losing this... he doesn't want to think about that.

FIN.
