Black and Yellow Together with Red (Goetzeus)

Chapter 26

Mario

This was all too much. I pulled back. My hand still burning from his touch.
"I... I... I'm so sorry." I walked backwards towards the door. "I just..."

"What?" Marco asked

"I'm not good for your reputation" I said suddenly.

"What are you talking about?" He asked confused.

"People already tell me I'm a fucking faggot." I thought back at the first time I saw people were calling me names. That was before all of this. Marco called me the same when he found out.

"Oh, Mario."

"Look at me!" I cried out. Marco cringed at the sudden loudness of my voice.

"There's nothing wrong with you."

"Well, then you're blind!" I was still mad.

"Mario, stop it" Marco sat up with a worried expression.

"No!" I wiped away my tears, frustrated. Why couldn't I like girls? Just like any other normal man. Like Marco. Marco doesn't like guys that way. So many people are disgusted of me. I'm sick of being me. I wish I could be someone else. "I'm not normal Reus."

"Mario..."

"People hate me" I said interrupting him.

"Then they're just dumb." Marco stood up and walked slowly towards me.

"They're right!" I took a step back. "I wish I was someone else."

"Don't say that."

"It's true."

"I wouldn't change anything about you" Marco now stood in front of me.

"Says you."

"Mario" Marco grabbed my hand. "Please look at me."

I tried to pull my hand away, but Marco was too strong. "Just let me go."

"Mario, please!" He pulled me towards him. "I would change their thoughts if I could."

I stopped and looked at him in disbelieve. "No, you wouldn't."

"I would" Marco insisted. "For you."

A tear rolled down my cheek.

"Just let me go!" I told him again. "I don't believe you!"

But Marco didn't let me go, on the contrary, he pulled me closer to him. I struggled, but he hugged me tight and I surrendered. I somehow melted in his arms. It was such a long time ago.

I buried my face in his chest and my hands found their way to his back.

"Please believe me Mario, I would change the world for you."
