Work Text:
“Hey, Marc, do you want to- do you want to go on a date tomorrow?” Nathaniel asks, just as shy asking Marc out the 50th time as he was the first.
Marc nods and fiddles with his hoodie, an action that Nathaniel always finds cute, though that’s not special, Nathaniel also finds Marc breathing cute.
They decided to go to the park, talking about everything and nothing, and sure, they got some weird looks, but they never bothered with homophobes.
Marc seems strangely distant, but everything will be back to normal soon.
He’s sure of it.
Nathaniel is beginning to think that Marinette and Marc got into a fight. They’re cousins, but they grew up like siblings and siblings fight all the time, something about this fight is weird, but Nathaniel can’t figure out what. Marinette keeps excluding Marc from activities which is kind of mean, but they’ll make up soon.
He’s sure of it.
People are starting to avoid Nathaniel, saying that he’s crazy, they must have heard about the incident.
When someone said something about Marc, Nathaniel… kind of lost it.
Marc is real.
He’s sure of it.
Two girls whisper to each other as they watch their friend slowly lose his mind.
“He needs to accept it,” Marinette says, “Marc is dead.”
“He will,” Alix says,
“I’m sure of it.”
