Sometimes It Lasts In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead 4b/? anonymous November 3 2011, 15:18:33 UTC

Esca strips out of his clothes and climbs under the covers. He glances around the room, which is a mirror image of the one he stayed in with Marcus, and it feels very surreal ( ... )

Looking back later, Esca barely remembers the parking lot or the bench. He doesn't remember the people passing by as they talked and fought and cried. He doesn't remember the weather, or the warmth of the morning sun, or the cool breeze. It could've been raining and Esca is sure he wouldn't have noticed. He isn't even sure exactly how long they sat together on that bench.

He only remembers Marcus, with his broken look, and his pleading gaze, and the break in his voice each time he spoke.

It's hard to stay angry with Marcus when he looks so defeated, but Esca holds hard to it. The anger is all he's got at this point ( ... )

It takes Marcus a moment to speak, his eyes wet with tears that he seems to be trying to shake off. “I still want you too ( ... )

They're quiet for a moment, which gives Esca a chance to consider Marcus's words. He thinks of the trip to Cottia's sister's and that long-ago rant that Marcus held onto for so long, the one that played such a deciding factor in their life together ( ... )

“Nah, really,” Esca stands, “I should go. You wanted to talk and we've talked and I'm not sure there's much more to say at this point ( ... )

Arrrgh, I want to throttle Marcus, slowly and painfully. And then I want to hug Esca ♥

DDDDDD:
I AM SOBBING ♥
THIS IS SO PAINFUL AND ESCA'S CONFESSION JUST SENT MY HEART INTO TATTERS AND SMITHEREENS BUT GOD THIS REMAINS AS SO BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN AND WONDERFUL.

*ouch* You've broken me with this. *cries*

So hurty. All the assumptions Marcus had and poor, suffering Esca - both of them so heartbroken.

Absolutely brilliant writing, nonny. Brilliant. ♥

OH GOD OH GOD.
I was staring at this page for like an hour before I even worked up the courage to start reading this update. I was crying before I was two lines in, and now I cannot stop sobbing. Reading this physically hurts, but it is so so good. Gorgeous, and painful, and haunting.

I WILL BE INCONSOLABLE UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE. INCONSOLABLE.

This is lovely!

oh god, bb, the ANGST. It hurts so good! BOYS AND ALL OF YOUR FEELINGS. I know we have to put them through hell to make them come out okay in the end, right? <333 Looking forward to the mending.

Beautifully written!

[on my way back.]

He's halfway home when he finally pulls over and texts Cottia. He expects the ring, knowing she'll have a million questions, and doesn't even wait for her name to appear on the screen before he answers.

“Hey.”

“Are you alright?”

“Not really.”

“What happened?”

There's a pause as he fiddles with his keys, then runs his hand over the steering wheel as he lets out a sigh of frustration.

“Esca?”

“He'd planned it all along.”

“Planned what?”

“To leave me, he'd planned it from day one.”

“He didn't say that, did he? I can't see him - ”

“He said it.”

“He actually said that?”

“Well, not in those words.”

“Did you misunderstand? I mean, he always wanted.. for ages he wanted..” Cottia trails off.

“He wanted a fucking fling,” Esca spits. “He never intended to stay - ”

“No, he wanted you, Esca. For years he wanted you ( ... )

“Placidus.”

“Yeah, him. You guys got trashed on tequila and made out in the middle of my kitchen, remember?”

Esca can't help but laugh to himself. “Vaguely.”

“Then you ran off to fuck in my bedroom -which, by the way, classy, E- and I spent the rest of the night listening to Marcus whine about how he'd never be interesting enough for you, and there was no way you'd ever want him ( ... )

He skips the diner on the way back, not needing anymore reminders of Marcus, and lets his mind drift only once when a sad song comes on the radio. He reaches over and angrily flicks it off, and spends the rest of the drive focusing on what turns he needs to make and watching his speed ( ... )

Sometimes It Lasts In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead 7d/? anonymous January 12 2012, 04:26:09 UTC

Once inside, he considers taking down the curtains, but figures he'll be pissed at himself tomorrow morning when the sun's beating in on him. So he stomps through the house, searching for other reminders of Marcus, surprised when he hardly finds any. He can remember doing this before, shortly after Marcus left. He'd packed up everything Marcus left behind, a few books and some stray clothes, and threw it all in the storage locker in the basement ( ... )
