Marcus Moreno-Mistakes

You and Marcus had been together for a while.

You thought that things were going pretty well. Except, when you mentioned about getting more serious, Marcus balked and you decided to call it quits.

Marcus knows he messed up and he wants you back. He's just not sure what to do.

Some light swearing and angust.

......................

You'd loved Marcus Moreno. Not because he was such a badass superhero, but because he was a good man.

You'd been together for almost an entire year and you wanted to know if things were going to progress in your relationship.

But every time you brought it up, Marcus would change the subject or just plain shut you down.

That was crap and you felt like you deserved a straight answer from him. Marcus finally gave you an answer. However, it wasn't the one you wanted to hear.

Marcus wanted to break things...off. You were hurt and shocked. How could he do this to you? You'd given him all of you and this was how he was going to repay you? By breaking your heart and telling you that it was over?

Talk about messed up. So. You two went your separate ways and you haven't seen or heard from Marcus in nearly three months.

..................

"Y/N!" You stop. You don't turn around, but... you'd never forget the sound of his voice.

Footsteps stop behind you as Marcus tries to catch his breath. Ooh, somebody's a little out of shape! Guess Marcus was sitting around on his sorry ass too much these days.

"Can we talk?" You insert your key into the lock and turn it, not even bothering to turn around.

"No." You slip inside your place and you wonder what's going through Marcus' mind right now.

"I made a mistake. I want you back. I'll do whatever you want. Just.. please?"

You still don't turn around. You start to shake a little. Everything that you'd tried to shove down, all those feelings are rising to the surface, slowly bubbling over.

No. Stay strong. Don't let Marcus undo everything that you've kept shut up inside of you.

"No, Marcus." You close the door and lean against it, covering your face with your hands. Crap.

...................

"Y/N, please." Oh, for crying out loud! Now he wants to talk. Now he thinks he can just come back, sweep you off your feet and ta-da! Everything is back to normal again.

"Marcus, you said there wasn't a future for us. Please stop stalking me!"

"I'm not stalking you!" Marcus snaps. Then he sighs.

"I know I screwed up. It's just, I've got my concerns about being in another relationship."

"If that's true, then we shouldn't have gotten involved at all."

"Please, Y/N. I'm lost without you. I need you. I didn't even realize how much until you were gone."

"Same the sob story, Moreno! Go save the damn world and leave me alone!"

..........................

You can't sleep. You've been tossing and turning for at least two hours now. You sigh as you get out of bed and go make yourself some warm milk.

You sit at the table in your kitchen and slowly sip the warm milk. Your thoughts drift to... Marcus. You sigh again.

Why? Why did it take you two having to go through what you did before he could realize that he needed you so damn much.

Talk about crappy and stupid and ridiculous. If he really cared about you, he wouldn't have allowed you to walk away in the first place.

Tears slip silently down your cheeks and drip off on to the top of the table.

You reach over to grab up a couple of napkins and wipe up the watery mess. Then you retreat back to your bed.

You lie down, but close your eyes. Eventually, sleep slips over you like a blanket.

....................

Marcus is standing there, holding a beautiful bouquet of red roses too. He smiles as he approaches you

"Y/N, will you marry me?" What?!

"All right, Marcus. How badly did you land on your head when you fell?"

"I mean it. Will you marry me?" You suddenly notice that a beautiful diamond ring is tied to the bouquet of roses and Marcus unties it.

He drops to a knee, grasping your hands in his. You don't want to do this. He broke your damn heart.

And now, he thinks he can just swoop in a d save the day by proposing to you?

"I was an idiot. I wasn't thinking. Please. Marry me?"

You look away. Ugh. You might as well accept his stupid, corny marriage and. Otherwise, he'll only get more and more desperate.

And you really don't want to see what desperate looks like on Marcus Moreno.

"Fine. I'll accept your marriage proposal. Just stop talking, huh? I can't take anymore of this crap. It's giving me a headache."

Marcus straightens up and kisses you before slipping the ring on your finger.

You hug him tightly and kiss him back. Marcus holds you close.

"I really am sorry, my girl. I should have handled that better."

"You think?"

"I know."

You laugh as you cling to him. Marcus gently strokes your hair and you close your eyes.

"Just remember, Marcus, if you mess up again, we're completely through, got it?"

"I got it."
