Title: Welcome Home
Pairing(s): Mark/Wardo
For na_shao
Charlie Brown - Coldplay - stole a key / took a car downtown where the lost boys meet / took a car downtown and took what they offered me/ to set me free / I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene / I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me
"That's Mark Zuckerberg," tells him his neighbor when he inquires about the strange new boy in town "Patty said his parents sent him to live with his uncle because he stole a car or something. No one knows for sure. Stay away from him Eduardo, that boy brings trouble. Even the cats are scared of him."
That of course does nothing but make Eduardo even more curious about the elusive Mark Zuckerberg. Eduardo can't seem to figure him out. That is until one day he finds him reading sitting on the bridge over the lake. They bond over books.
Animal - Neon Trees - here we go again / I kinda wanna be more than friends/ so take it easy on me / I'm afraid / you're never satisfied
They become fast friends. Mark is everything Eduardo is not. He always speaks his mind, he is maddeningly brilliant and he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. He is wasted in a small city like Stars Hollow and can't wait to leave it. Eduardo likes it well enough, but he has plans that go beyond the city and it's quirky citizens. They often talk about leaving for Harvard together.
As Tall As Cliffs - Margot & The Nuclear So And So's - and you came well-equipped / with a gun on your hip / and some poison on your lips / but when we wake up in our makeup / we'll be clean / and we won't have nowhere to be
Their first kiss is a surprise. They have been slowly colliding with each other for months, but the impact comes out of nowhere. Like suddenly the acceleration increases significantly without anyone noticing. Mark whispers "Wardo" and they both melt under the Spring sun.
Futile Devices - Sufjan Stevens - it's been a long, long time since I've memorized your face / it's been four hours now since I've wandered through your place / and when I sleep on your couch I feel very safe / and when you bring the blankets I cover up my face / I do love you / I do love you
Eduardo learns that Mark always means what he says but that sometimes he doesn't say what he's thinking. It's okay though. Eduardo thinks he can wait. As long as Mark keeps looking at him like he's the best thing that has ever happened to him
Hold On To What You Believe - Mumford & Sons - I ran away / I could not take the burden of both me and you / it was too fast / casting love on me as if it were a spell I could not break / when it was a promise I could not make
Mark runs away. One day he just gets up and leaves to go to California. Alone. Eduardo doesn't cry, doesn't wallow, doesn't scream.
Heavy In Your Arms - Florence + The Machine - and is it worth the wait / all this killing time? / are you strong enough to stand / protecting both your heart and mine?
Eduardo blames Mark. For a while he's sure he hates him. But deep down it's himself he's blaming. Mark calls him once but doesn't speak. He just listens to Eduardo screaming at him and then hangs up.
Somewhere Only We Know - Keane - oh simple thing where have you gone? / I'm getting old and I need something to rely on / so tell me when you're gonna let me in / I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
Mark comes back in a cold winter day, close to Christmas. He's a billionaire now. Eduardo went to Harvard alone and found himself new friends and even a girlfriend. Mark tells Eduardo he loves him and Wardo almost pushes him into the frozen lake. It's Spring when Eduardo finally lets Mark talk to him and explain himself. This time Wardo really does push him into the lake.
True Love Will Find You In The End - Matthew Good - true love will find you in the end / you'll find out just who was your friend / don't be sad I know you will / but don't give up until / true love will find you in the end
They become friends first. Mark tries really hard to make it up to Eduardo. It's gradual. One day they are texting, the week after they are talking on the phone, the month after Mark is visiting him at Harvard. They hang out and Wardo even gets to meet Mark's elusive friends from New York, from before they met.
Made Up Love Song #43 - Guillemots - you got me off the sofa / just sprang out of the air / the best things come from nowhere / I can't believe you care
This time they both say "I love you" and no one runs.
My Favorite Book - Stars - how I know your face / all the ways you move / you come in / I can read you / you're my favourite book / all the things you say / the way you shift your eyes / I never knew there was someone to make me come alive
It's not easy, but boy do they make it work.
