My Girl

Our Girl

Summary: After Layla left, Marc wasn't the same he felt betrayed as Steven moved on so quickly, he didn't blame you for this, he never could.

Marc was a hard egg to crack.

While Steven warmed up to you rather quickly, he loved to talk and you loved to listen to whatever he had to say. Egyptian Gods? Lore? Myths? Tombs? Sure, you were all in.

When Marc was in charge, you often just stayed behind, avoiding him, you felt bad about making Layla leave in a way, but just as you said, you are not willing to leave Jake behind. Never.

While you stayed low around Marc, with Steven you felt at home.

He was warm, kind and shy. Something you loved teasing him with.

Even your slightest sexual comment would make the man blush and stutter, it was cute.

Extremely cute.

You spent more time in their flat as well. Even when it was Marc, you stayed there, reading a book, cooking or watching his fish.

"You should get a third one." you said one time, forgetting that it was Marc for a moment.

"I know, you already said that to Steven." he said with a rather calm voice, he usually talked to you in a rough way, but not this time.

That was the time you realized that while Steven was in charge, Marc was still conscious and could hear and see everything Steven did.

Not like that would change your behaviour.

Then there was Jake, your lovely brutal murderer whom you loved so much.

Khonsu still instructed him on who to kill and what to do, and he followed, and so did you. It was actually quite a nice routine.

You helped Jake during the night, then you would get back to his place, have sex on whatever surface you felt like doing it at that particular moment and then fall asleep in each other's arms. Then you'd wake up with Steven, get over the awkward stage of him being flustered because you two are naked, make breakfast and he would go to work while you just walk around London, trying to catch anything unusual with Khonshu. You would usually go pick up Steven after work, you two either go to a restaurant or get groceries to cook something.

It was a nice routine, comfortable and warm.

You loved it really.

If only Marc could get used to you as well.

Today, it was him, he woke up and headed to work. He was the one who gently pushed you away as you walked into the kitchen to greet him in the morning.

And you had enough.

You had enough of the fact that you constantly had to walk on glass around him.

You had a plan.

A terrible plan, but you had one.

One morning, Marc woke up and he was expecting you to be there. But you weren't, not in the bed, not in the bathroom or the kitchen.

"Maybe she went out?" asked Steven in the mirror.

"I don't care."

"Yes, you do! Stop lying to yourself Marc, you like her! As much as I do if not more! I saw you with her during the nights when you run your hands all over her face and kiss her. I saw it all." Steven's words hurt Marc on a level. Like a teen getting caught kissing their pillow.

Marc knew there was no point in lying to Steven.

"She loves Jake, don't forget that, not us."

"Jake is us. he is a part of you just like me. If she loves him, she loves us." Steven always made it sound so much easier than it really was. Marc was supposed to be the strong one, but it was Steven really.
