"Another day, another adventure!" An all to chipy voice ravaged my ear drums, and aroused me from my slumber. A single ray of sunlight passed through the curtain and kissed my check softly.
  What time is it?
  "Erhmp..."
  That's what I was aiming to say anyway. I cracked open a single eyelid. My strange, somewhat eccentric, current employer loomed over my bedside with a horrifying grin on his face. Sometimes his happiness really did upset me...
  "Come along now, Marcurio! We shall be off while the day is still young!" This stupidly silly, moron of a Dragon born was, sadly, the only person I could truly call friend. His name, is Saldus Feran. Despite his ridiculous stature, he is rather intelligent and rather quite dashing. All of the ladies seem to love him.
  "What the hell are you waking me up this early in the morning for?!" I clutched my head in my hands suddenly feeling an unavoidable, idiot induced migraine coming on. I could almost feel the grin of his eyes scan over me as I wallowed in self pity.
  "I'm bored." From beneath my hair, I could hear the altmer let out a pitiful little humpf as if he were cursing the very idea that was boredom. I felt the weight of the small cot shift as Saldus sat down next to me.
  "Hey, Marcurio?" His voice was quiet and by the sound of it, he seemed to be leaning close to my ear. An awkward silence filled the room and loomed over me, so I stayed hidden behind my hands. I could feel my face begin to grow hotter, but I hadn't the slightest idea why.
  "Y-yeah?" Damn. Why do I feel so nervous?
  "Marcurio..." I could hear my heart start to beat furiously within its constraint, and I felt irritatingly breathless. What is this feeling?
  "Will you go out with me?"

  What.

  Suddenly I understood everything. The reasons why Saldus kept me around. The reasons for why the Dragonborn wasn't yet married even though there were many young beautiful women that would kill to lay eyes on him. It was because he, he-

Likes other men?!

  "W-what the hell?!" By now, I was almost positive that my face was blood red. I could feel my embarrassment flood through my veins, and the sudden confusion of being hit on by another man wasn't helping.
  Who does that all of a sudden?!
  "Of course I won't go out with you! We're both men if you haven't realized! What is your problem!?" I couldn't quite help but stare down at my hands in my lap. I couldn't find the courage to look him in the eyes, afraid of what I would find there. Anger? Despair? Hatred? Was I maybe too harsh?
  "M-marcurio..." Even as much as I wanted to, it was too late to take it back. Will he hate me now? Will he no llonger be my friend?
  "I thought that you knew..."
  How could I be so cruel? What do I mean what is wrong with him? What is wrong with me?
  "I'm so sorry!" It just came out suddenly as if on its own.
  "That was very insensitive of me...I am unworthy of being even your packmule let alone, your friend." I could feel a stinging in my eyes as tears slowly began to run down my face. Since when I have become so low? Insulting my only friend? I'm pathetic.
  "Uh....Marcurio. When I said go out with me, I didn't mean like in a relationship...I meant like out. To town..."
  "I don't know how you can even stand to look at me! I'm such a--"

  What?
 
I turned wide eyed and stared at him. Saldus had a grin as wide as the width of his face, and I couldn't help but smile myself.
  "Haha oh well....I knew that..ha.." By the Gods this is so embarrassing!
  "Sorry. You must think me rude, what with assuming you're homosexual, and then shouting at you like that...haha." Suddenly I felt rather fidgety, anxious, and....disappointed?
  Saldus just sat there, grinning at me. Looking at me with those perfect blue eyes of his.
  Why? Why do I feel this way?
  "I never said that I wasn't." And the next thing I knew, his warm lips were on mine.

Sorry, I haven't updated in a long, long time. (Blame it on Junjou Romantica and Black Butler XD) I have been terribly busy...ha..haha...ha
