Work Text:
Jean woke up on the couch his spine feeling like it had been snapped several times, the smell of toast, and the sound of cabinets being opened and closed.
“Morning jean, hows the couch treating you?” he laughed and got to putting the toast on plates and warming up some water for coffee
Jean grumbled, stretching and attempting to get off of the couch despite how uncomfortable it was. Marco continued to make coffee, and jean wondering how in gods name he woke up on the couch in the first place asked Marco
“Marco, exactly how did I end up on the couch I feel like absolute garbage right now” jean rubbed his eyes and finally got up to go sit at the table where Marco had put the butter, toast, and coffee mugs.
“Well I think the reason your back hurts so much is because you passed out on the couch after watching SpongeBob for several hours” marco replied sounding slightly concerned for his general wellbeing
“Yea that would make sense”
Marco looked up and said “wait, there’s more. You went to the store and got 3 bags of gummy bears, I’d assume you ate at least half of them, you didn’t even offer me any” Marco laughed, as jean looked over like he was very upset
“You can have the rest of them I’m not gonna eat anymore..” jean said to Marco as he got up to get them
“Jean it’s ok I was only joking, your so funny” Marco started laughing even harder and poured coffee into their cups
As he poured in the creamer, jean sat there for a second just staring as it swirled around in his cup. After a minute and the swirling had died down he looked back up to see Marco pulling a chair out and sitting down
“My night wasn’t all that great either, I ate some bad leftovers and felt gross the entire night as well so at least it isn’t only you,” Marco said, sipping his coffee and tapping his fingers on the table
“How are you so chipper then? I don’t get how you are always such a ball of sunshine even when you feel bad.” jean took a bite of his toast and sat there staring at the table,
“I’m not quite sure. I’m not like this all the time but I’m happy when I get to be around you so even feeling gross doesn’t bother me that much” he looked up at jean and smiled, noticing jeans face turn bright red
“You are so perfect. Come here” jean gestured Marco to come over and outstretched his arms
As they hugged, jean somehow got even redder than before, and Marco looking down, noticed.
“Your adorable” he then leaned down and kissed jean on the forehead.
Jean had to go through breakfast trying not to combust, but Marco kept looking over and laughing at how red his face had gotten
They had both finished and went to go sit on the couch, the cushions warm with sunlight shining in through the half-open blinds.
Jean grabbed the remote and turned the tv, quickly changing it to the discovery channel because Marco likes the animal documentaries. Maybe even a little more than he should.
The tv hummed, and Marco leaned onto jeans shoulders as he basked in the warm sunlight
“Marco that hurts please by back is still severely damaged”
Marco choked upon hearing that and leaned up taking the pressure off of his shoulder
“Well, what should I do then? Can I at least use your legs as a pillow I don’t wanna sit up” Marco said with the sound of laughter still resonating in his voice
“I don’t see why not” jean moved his arm onto the back of the couch giving Marco room to lay down
The Tv sound hummed in the background and Marco closed his eyes, taking in the warm sunlight, letting it warm his face and body.
Jean looked down to see Marco smiling as the warm sun kissed his freckled face, and he couldn’t help but smile a little bit.
“I can feel you staring jean” jean jumped causing Marco to lean up a little bit, “your legs are a good pillow by the way” Marco chuckled and smiled at jean, it was kinda hard to tell if his face turning slightly red was from the heat of the sun or if he was just blushing
“I’m at a loss of how he is such an angel??? I do not understand???” jean thought to himself, resting his head on his hand, and looking down at the carpet.
“Something on your mind?” Marco looked over and asked, after noticing jean looked like he was deep in thought
“Not really, I kinda zoned out” Jean lied. Something was on his mind. Marco. Obviously.
“I don’t believe you but if you don’t wanna tell me right now it’s ok…” Marco said looking back at the tv, which he hadn’t acknowledged in maybe 20 minutes
“No no it’s not like that, there’s nothing necessarily upsetting me. It’s just- Marco, I really like you.” jean started blushing profusely again
Marco started laughing again and looked up into jeans eyes “I like you to jean...”
“His smile, wow I am in love ;;0;; “ jean thought, he didn’t even notice how huge his smile was until he came back to reality and noticed Marco was kissing him.
It was kinda awkward for Jean to have his eyes open, but after a second or two of shock, he adjusted and kissed back, placing his hands on the sides of Marco’s face.
He had a hard time trying not to smile the whole time and almost couldn’t contain it when Marco started leaning farther over onto him.
They broke apart finally, Jean and Marco both opened their eyes. Marco quietly giggled again, noticing how red Jean had gotten this time, and the fact he looked absolutely dumbstruck.
“I- Marco where did that come from?” jean asked, having absolutely no idea if he should be making eye contact or not
“Oh did you not like it? You should have said something Jean, I’m really sorry.” Marco looked slightly disappointed and looked down at his palms
“No, no that’s not it- I really liked it I’m just, Confused. That’s all.” jean grasped Marco’s hands and looked up at him
“I’m not even quite sure, I guess I just did it off of impulse, but it was nice” he looked at him with that innocent smile that absolutely melted jean to pieces, and it was effective. It always was.
