Work Text:
It was 5 am in the morning when suddenly Mark got a call from Cesar.
“Hey mark, I know you’re probably on the verge of killing your self, but PLEASE DON’T KILL YOURSELF. you’re like the only thing keeping me alive, and I don’t know what to do without you..” Cesar explained frantically when Mark picked up the phone.
Out of pure surprise, Mark responded, “Woah woah, Cesar are you okay..?”
There was a moment of silence, then a response.
”…I don’t know anymore..I mean, I’m ok if you’re okay…” Cesar softly responded, clear as day that he was on the verge of tears.
“Hey, Cesar. You’re clearly about to cry…wanna talk about what's making you upset..?” Mark asked cautiously.
Cesar was quiet for a moment, then asked, “…do you ever just like..wanna kiss someone or hug someone, basically anything that includes that someone’s touch, but they’re so far away…” Cesar paused for a moment, almost vulnerably quiet, before adding, “and that someone is your childhood best friend…”
Mark didn’t respond for a minute before saying, “Cesar, do you…” Mark trailed off, but the implication was there.
“..yeah..I love you romantically. I’ve been debating whether to come to your house or not to comfort you..” Cesar admitted softly, fidgeting around with the light switch next to him.
“…Cesar.”
“Yes..?”
“Where are you currently?”
“At my house…why..?”
“..are you able to come to my house and go through the window..? Like when we were teenagers..?” Mark asked nervously, both him and Cesar knew the only option for Cesar to see Mark would be by Mark's window.
“Yea of course! Right now?” Cesar asks, hiding his excitement to see Mark.
“Yeah, right now.” Mark was still a bit nervous,but also…excited to see Cesar? There was an unusual feeling in his chest, as if something that’s been hiding for so many years finally arose from hiding. He noticeably was red as he thought of seeing Cesar. After being lost in thought for a couple of minutes, his thoughts got broken by knocking on the window. Mark looked at the window and opened it for Cesar, helping him climb inside.
Cesar hugged Mark while saying, “I’ve been wanting to see you again for so long…”
Mark softly smiles and says, “I’m glad you’re feeling better..” Mark paused before asking, “Hey..Can I ask you something..?”
Cesar looks at Mark curiously and nods.
Mark takes a deep breath and finally asks, “..Will you...be my boyfriend..?”
Cesar's face lights up and nods while saying in an excited tone, “Yes! A million times yes!!” He hugs Mark even tighter.
Mark ran his fingers through Cesar's hair and asked, “Can I kiss your cheek…?”
Cesar tilted his head so Mark could kiss his cheek and nods softly.
Mark gave a warm, soft, but quick kiss on Cesar's cheek.
Cesar becomes more content, eventually sleeping on Mark's shoulder.
Mark smiled and softly said, “Good night, my suited angel..” before turning off the lights and going into his bed.
