[PART NINE] & Some News
Okay, I'm a little new at this so sorry if I mess this up first go. Because it's been 5 months since the last round even though we haven't been busy. I figured I might as well earn my keep and try to get this place alive again...

Five times that Eduarda tried to be subtle about her seduction of Mark (wearing make-up, changing her hair, wearing more and more revealing outfits that make Dusting frustrated, etc.) and the one time she gets him to notice (like maybe literally waking Mark up in the middle of the night to ramble about it and grabs his hands and forces him to grope her).

1. I DON'T KNOW HOW I TURNED THIS PROMPT MILDLY ANGSTY, I REALLY DON'T.
2. there's a teensy bit of eduardo/dustin because apparently my brain went to that place.
3. i cannot write explicit sex to save my life, so the eventual smut is... very vanilla.
4. it ended up as a 4+1 due to me scrapping the fifth scene for sucking ass in general.
5. but i hope this satisfies your want, at least a smidge!

1.
Edi knows she’s pretty.
Partially because her father insists that she’ll “only get by on her pretty face” because “women are rarely taken seriously in business”, mostly because the Winklevoss twins and that Divya kid make it a point to skeezily say “hey beautiful” whenever she passes them on the way to microeconomics.
The thing is that Edi doesn’t think Mark knows she’s pretty, which is a problem, given her embarrassing crush on him.
“You’re way too good for him, E,” Alice muses from over her biology textbook while Edi lounges on the couch across the room. “He’s a hermit ( ... )

“Mark,” she says softly. “Mark, if you fall asleep in this position, you’re gonna have a killer neck ache later on.”
Mark sits up drowsily and Edi almost feels naked when his gaze lands on her. His eyes are so blue in the light of the computer, fading in and out of focus.
“You never wear red,” is all Mark says before closing his laptop, shrugging off his hoodie, and collapsing into his bed in his t-shirt and sweatpants.
Edi sometimes wonders why she even bothers.

Her name’s Erica. She’s nineteen and is majoring in psychology at BU. She spends a lot of her free time in the Kirkland suite.
Edi’s goal is to make her as uncomfortable as possible.
It’s Friday night and Edi’s got a bootlegged copy of Gigli for the bad movie marathon she and Mark have had every Friday night for the past year. Allegedly, the movie’s so bad that Christy’s cousins got kicked out of the theater for hysterically laughing at inappropriate times. It should make for an excellent start to the marathon, except…
Except Erica’s sitting on the couch when Edi walks into the suite.
“Erica,” Edi says, only showing mild annoyance in her voice. “What are you… doing here?”
Mark enters the room before Erica can answer, a Red Bull in one hand and a bottle of water in the other. He hands the water to Erica and looks up at Edi, eyes glazing over with an oh shit I forgot it’s Friday kind of look. He clears his throat to dispel the uncomfortable silence ( ... )

“It’s just Edi,” Mark reasons. Edi fake grins and pretends it doesn’t sting, but Erica makes her true feelings known.
“Mark! It’s not ‘just Edi’ to you! She walks around here practically naked, she’s always touching you, she’ll call you in the middle of one of our dates and you’ll completely ignore me for her. Do you-do you know how shitty that feels, to be your boyfriend’s second priority? No, you don’t, because you’re an asshole, Mark ( ... )

“Edi. What the fuck. Why. Why are you. Why am I not happy about making out with you?” Dustin stammers, hazel eyes flickering with confusion. Edi doesn’t say anything, just eyes the bathroom door until she sees an Adidas flip-flop poke out and she grabs Dustin by the collar of his crinkled button-up and kisses him again, making sure Mark sees.
He barely acknowledges them, though, just glances in their general direction. Edi pulls back from Dustin and grabs her coat from the barstool, shrugging it on with her hands balled into such tight fists in the pockets that Mark’s Kirkland keycard snaps in half.

Breaking the keycard was not a wise choice.
It’s the last week before Christmas break and it’s raining so hard that half of Edi’s classes have been cancelled because her professors can’t make it in. She should be inside, studying or sleeping or drinking hot cocoa and pretending she doesn’t know about Alice and Mark’s one-night stand, but she’s sitting on the railing outside of Kirkland with no umbrella, waiting for Chris or Dustin to unlock the door and let her up. She’d texted both of them with little to no information other than unlock the door. i need to come up.Chris is the one that appears behind the door when it creaks open. He ushers Edi in and places a cautious hand on her soaking wet shoulder blade. “You okay, Edi ( ... )

Mark blinks a few more times. “That was the day we met.”
“That was the moment. we met,” Edi clarifies. She feels the warmth of Mark’s hand against her cheek. He brushes away a tear that’s fighting its way down the bridge of her nose.
“You’ve been in love with me since the moment we met,” Mark echoes, mostly to himself, like he doesn’t quite believe it. His hand is still feather-light on Edi’s face, fingers tracing along her jawline.
When he kisses her, it’s so unlike her kiss, forceful and confusing. Mark’s mouth is gentle and soft, the opposite of how Edi imagined it. He buries one hand in her hair, the other curling around her torso, pulling her body against his.
Edi lets out a happy little moan into Mark’s mouth because since when is he like this? She never expected him to be so caring and - dare she say it-loving, caressing her body so tenderly that her heart stutters. When he pulls back to slowly ( ... )
