Mark sighed as he tossed another ‘reject’ outfit onto the bed. It was stupid really, worrying about what to wear, just for a simple lunch get together, but he wanted to look nice. He was getting to show his boyfriend off after all.
Kevin’s voice floating down the hallway made him stop rummaging and look towards the door, waiting for his boyfriend to appear.
“Mark? Mark? Where are you?”
“In our room Kev” he smiled to himself when he realised he had said ‘our room’ instead of ‘my room’. He really had got used to having a boyfriend quickly!
“Mark! There you are babes, been looking for you for ages! Ah, what’s happened in here?”
He walked over to the bed and started to try and clear a clean spot so he could sit down, but gave up quickly, because soon as he moved one item of clothing, another one soon took its place. Sighing he sat on top of the clothes and raised an eyebrow in Mark’s direction.
“Where’s the fire Mark?”
Mark surfaced out of the wardrobe, held up a nice blue button down shirt, shook his head and threw it onto the bed, narrowly missing Kevin.
He was just about the vanish back into the wardrobe when Kevin grabbed his arm and spun him back around.
“Mark? What’s the matter? Why all the clothes?” He looked at the growing pile on the bed, “Actually, I didn’t know you had this many clothes!”
Dropping down next to him on the bed, Mark sighed before sliding an arm around Kevin’s waist and burrowed his head into Kev’s chest.
Running his finger’s through Mark’s hair, Kevin waited patiently for Mark to say something. He had learnt over the last few months not to push Mark when he got like this, just hold him and love him until he was ready to talk. A wrong word could push Mark over the edge, which he had already witnessed a number of times.
Eventually Mark lifted his head to look at him, a soft blush crossing his cheeks.
“Sorry Kev, I’m just a bit nervous about tomorrow. I’ve been avoiding these guys ever since I got out of hospital, and now I’m gonna see them. Guess I’m a bit unsure of what they’re gonna think. And I want to look nice.”
Kevin nodded his head understandably. “It’s okay babes, I know where you’re coming from. I’m sure everyone’s going to be delighted to see you. Now stand up and let me find you something to wear, preferably from this pile on the bed!”
Kevin jumped up, Mark following slightly slower behind him.
“Right, I saw a nice shirt before, with this vest, and hmm. These, no these. No, not them, ah! These pants. Right, here we go Mark.”
Kevin had laid out the nice blue button down shirt Mark had tossed aside just before, with a deep green vest, and new, crisp looking black jeans.
Smiling, Mark leant over and kissed him deeply.
“Thanks Kev, guess I’d better clean this little lot up!”
“Not just yet, want another kiss first.”
Kevin drew him in close, planting little kisses on Mark’s neck, smiling when he felt Mark squirm. Giving in, Kevin kissed him on the mouth, and was getting so much into the kiss that he didn’t noticed Mark walking them both backwards, until Mark fell onto the bed, taking Kevin with him.
Things where just starting to get really interesting, when there came a disgusted ‘eww’ from the doorway, and then Colin’s voice.
“Honestly you two, can’t you learn how to shut a door? Yuck” Then came a shuddering noise, followed closely by the door to Mark’s, sorry, Mark and Kevin’s room being slammed shut.
Breaking the kiss, Kevin started to laugh, cuddling a now flushed and embarrassed Mark to him.
“How can you laugh? That was super embarrassing. Caught getting it on with my boyfriend by my own little brother. I’m never going to hear the end of it!” But he was starting to smile, so Kevin knew he wasn’t upset, and could see the funny side of it.
Kevin kissed him again, before sitting up, adjusting himself as he did. “And I’m pretty sure we scarred poor Colin for life. Don’t think that’s gonna be an image he’ll forget in a hurry.”
Mark pushed him playfully, “Thanks Kev, making me feel heaps better!”
Kevin pushed him back, “Love you too”
Suddenly Mark looked at him, cocking his head on the side, “What did you want to ask me?”
Kevin looked confused, “Eh?”
“Before, you were looking for me, remember?”
Kevin looked confused for a moment, before his face cleared, “That’s right! I was gonna ask you if I could borrow you’re laptop and access the net, Aaron messaged me before asking if I could come online for a chat. Think he feels a bit left out, haven’t talked to him since, well, since you went to hospital,”
Mark pointed to the black case leaning against the wall, “Sure, course you can. You don’t have to ask you know.”
Kevin kissed him and gave him a cuddle, “ I know, but it’s polite.”
Kevin crossed the room, grabbed the case and was just heading downstairs, when he noticed Mark wasn’t following him.
“You coming Mark?”
“In a little bit, I’ll just hang up this little lot!”
“Right, love you.”
“Back atcha”
Kevin was already downstairs and had the computer switched on when Mark remember was his background was, but laughing, he decided not to tell Kev, let it be surprise!
Kevin couldn’t help but admire the laptop as it booted up, brand new and top of the range, it looked like it could do anything.
Finally, it finished starting up, and Kevin started to laugh when he saw the background. It was a photo of him, taken shortly after Mark had been realised from hospital, with two love hearts, one on either side of his head. It was very cute, and Kevin couldn’t help but be touched.
After a quick hunt around, he found the MSN icon, and clicked on it, punched in all the right details and waited while it signed him in.
Sure enough, Aaron was online, and before Kevin could blink, Aaron was talking to him.
*Aaron* says :
OMG, look who it is,, you do still exist!
*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:

*Aaron* says :

*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:

*Aaron* says:

*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:

*Aaron* says:

*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:

*Aaron* says:

*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:

*Aaron* says:

*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:

*Aaron* says:

*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:

*Aaron* says:

*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:

*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:

*Aaron* says:

*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:
Of course I’m sure,, and that sentence soo didn’t make sense, but yeah, me and mark,, officially a couple for,,, almost 4 months now
*Aaron* says:
FOUR MONTHS? And your only telling me now?
A chuckle behind him made Kevin jump, “Far out Mark! You scared the daylights outta me.”
Mark dropped a kiss onto Kevin’s forehead and wrapped his arms around Kevin’s shoulders.
“Sorry babes, but that conversation is funny, and sweet. Sounds like Aaron is gonna take a bit of convincing. Maybe you should go and spend some time with him, if you want.”
Kevin raised an eyebrow at him, “Trying to get rid of me already?”
“Course not, but I don’t want you to loose your friends”
Reaching up, Kevin hooked a hand around Mark’s neck and tugged him down for a kiss,
“I really love you, know that?”
“I dunno, think you’re gonna have to prove it to me.”
This cause Kevin to laugh his dirty chuckle and raise his eyebrow again, “Well, in that case”
He turned back the screen and saw a number of messages from Aaron trying to get his attention,
*Aaron* says:
Helloo? Kevin? I’m not mad, jelous yes, mad no.
*Aaron* says:
KEV?
*Aaron* says:
Fine, *sulks* be that way, ignore me
*Aaron* says:
For goodness sakes, put him down Kev, and talk to me!
*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:
Sorry, but he tastes soo good, don’t wanna put him down
*Aaron* says:
Too much info there buddy
*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows says:
Okay, we’re going to bed now, I’ll give you a call in the next couple of days? Kay? Byeee *waves*
*Aaron* says:
You lucky devil *wink* byeee, say hi to Mark for me
*Kevin* The world should be made of marshmallows may not reply because he or she is offline
Kevin closed the computer down and stretched, accepting the hand Mark offered him to pull him up.
“C’mon Kev, I do believe you promised me just before to show me how much you love me,”
Kevin laughed his dirty laugh again, and followed Mark up the stairs, laughing the whole way.
Later, when they were laid in each others arms, sticky but satisfied, Mark had a sudden thought.
“Kev?”
“What Mark? I’m trying to sleep”
“What’s with the world should be made of marshmallows?”
