(this is a WIP)

They'd started out as lab partners during first year chemistry. Esca joined the course a week late, and Marcus didn't have a partner. The professor pointed in Marcus's direction and, when Marcus glanced up through strands of greasy black hair and greeted Esca with a scowl, it became blatantly clear why Marcus was still working alone.

“Esca MacCunoval,” he said, reaching out to shake Marcus's hand.

Marcus ignored Esca's outstretched hand and muttered, “Marcus.”

The new guy and the guy no one wanted to work with, stuck together. Esca always joked that they met by default.

Marcus wasn't a talker, and Esca wasn't good at chemistry, and they'd barely passed their first few assignments due to a lack of communication. It took a smoke break from Marcus, minor snooping from Esca, and the threat of a punch to the face for them to finally break the ice.

Marcus had taken off, as usual, and Esca was left to start their experiment on his own. He'd just placed his first beaker on the bunsen burner when he noticed Marcus's ipod sticking out from under his notebook. The buds rarely left Marcus's ears, and Esca had been curious to know what type of music he liked. Based on Marcus's look, it was likely he listened to a lot of Rammstein or Cradle of Filth, or some other band Esca knew nothing about. Or maybe Marcus was an old school Bauhaus fan, and Esca could fake it and talk about his love of “Bela Lugosi's Dead,” and pretend it wasn't the only Bauhaus song he actually knew.

Esca glanced around the room and, content that Marcus hadn't yet returned, stuck an earbud in his ear and hit play.

S.O.S. please someone ( ... )

Yay, how wonderful :D
Marcus is such a cute puppy ;D I'm glad, dear AA, that you've taken it on, it's great :D
I can't wait to see which road you'll take with it!

Thanks! :D

They started meeting in Esca's dorm room to study, the actual study time growing less and less, until finally one Saturday Marcus showed up out of the blue without his textbooks. His dark hair was wet and clung to his forehead, his boots dripped water onto the floor, and it was clear he walked the entire way in the rain.

“Wanna hang out?”

“I do, yeah,” Esca said, stepping back so Marcus could enter his room.

They spent the rest of the day together, just talking and watching movies on Esca's laptop. It was fun and easy, and it became a regular thing - Marcus showing up out of the blue and hanging out in Esca's room. Occasionally Esca would get back from class and find Marcus sitting in the hallway outside his door, head lowered, music blasting in his ears, and when Esca unlocked his door Marcus would jump up and follow him inside.

Neither one mentioned it, but somewhere along the line they became friends.

Marcus's hair was long and tatted, dyed a fading shade of black, and covering half his face. He always wore what Esca referred to as his “Casper makeup” which made his face ghostly white against his black hair, and his eyes were always dark with kohl. He had a lip ring, and a nose ring, and after their first few conversations Esca realized he had a tongue ring too. He wore black from head to toe, and combat boots regardless of the weather. He seemed angry and unimpressed with life and everyone in it, and he was quiet and moody and brooding ( ... )

He didn't ask Marcus much about his past, and he was intrigued the second time Marcus fell asleep in his room and Esca noticed the smattering of freckles peeking out from under Marcus's collar as if he'd spent a lot of time in the sun when he was younger. He tried to imagine Marcus tromping around on a beach -- black swimsuit, dark hair covering his eyes, combat boots kicking down sandcastles. His laughter roused Marcus from his sleep, and he gave Esca a suspicious look ( ... )

Christ, wet Marcus sitting on the floor waiting for Esca to come back to his room is the most adorable thing ever :)

Angry goth boy avoiding the worms after it rains is SO CUTE.

Re: Fill: The Boy With the Thorn In His Side 2c/? ladytiferet July 29 2011, 21:49:01 UTC

Dear AA, do you wan to swap next part for a Caspar make up on Marcus? :D

Re: Fill: The Boy With the Thorn In His Side 2c/? anonymous July 29 2011, 22:11:15 UTC

Do you mean I write the next bit and you make Casper!Marcus art?

Because, if so, YES. :D

Re: Fill: The Boy With the Thorn In His Side 2c/? ladytiferet July 29 2011, 22:13:45 UTC

Yes, that's exactly what I mean :)

Re: Fill: The Boy With the Thorn In His Side 2c/? anonymous July 29 2011, 22:20:13 UTC

Haha YAY! I'll start the next chapter right now then ;)

Re: Fill: The Boy With the Thorn In His Side 2c/? ladytiferet July 29 2011, 22:36:32 UTC

Just let me know, I'm almost finished :D He looks very hardcore :P

(just snippets of their friendship again. but this is going somewhere, I swear.)

“You're not actually going to wear that, are you?”

“I was considering it,” Esca replied, glancing down at his black t-shirt as he continued holding the door for Marcus. “Think I should wear something else?”

“No.” Marcus brushed past Esca and took a seat on his bed. “It's just weird.”

“Because I'm wearing black?”

“Because you're dressed like me.”

“Marcus,” Esca laughed, closing the door and turning back to his mirror, “it's Halloween.”

“Yeah, but you're still dressed like me.”

Esca stared at Marcus in the mirror, waiting until Marcus looked up. “I can change if it's bothering you.”

“Nah,” Marcus muttered, watching as Esca applied black eyeliner. “It's cool.”

Esca had managed to convince Marcus to come with him to his dorm Halloween party. Marcus was becoming a familiar face on Esca's floor, although he rarely spoke to anyone besides Esca, and since it was a Saturday Esca knew Marcus would likely be in his room anyway. Marcus couldn't
