[Sorry for the wait! There has been some issues lately, so I'll be leaving this over... here.]

Well, here comes Mark holding a... bag. Wow. How convenient, except for the fact that it IS Mark.

I feel a tug at my sleeve.

"H-Harvey.." John starts to motion over to Mark. "It's too dangerous to carry that out in the open.."

"But John-!" I whispered, "This is MARK we're talking about here!"

"But my reputation.. YOUR reputation! I can't let you go tarnished, Harvey!"

"Possessing you is far more important!"

John blushes at the statement, quickly trying to come up with something. Looking down, he shyly speaks up;

"Y-you don't have to worry about that at all.. I'm already yours." he starts looking away.

D'aww.

"Well, alright then. I'll be the one to ask him though." I said as I swiftly nudge Mark as he passed us in the hallway.

"Wh-what in the-- Oh. It's you guys." He says nonchalantly, a bit unexpected. Once he glanced at John, his face became devoid of emotion, not like the usual licentious personality he had.

"Help us hide this book! Please!" I half-begged.

"Why are you so worked over a book-- wait, "Homosexuality"? I know about being bent but.. seriously?"

"We're bi, alright? No time to explain! JUST LET US SHOVE THIS IN YOUR BAG!" I exclaimed, grabbing his schoolbag, glad to see that there was space left, quickly shoving the suspicious book.

"Thanks, Mark." John said politely.

"Yeah, sure."

Is it just me or is Mark.. a little less of a boyfriend-stealer now?

Well, not like I'd complain.

The three of us shuffled past the other students until we reached the classroom. I walked to my seat to grab my backpack, and brought both Mark and John to the back of the school building.

"Here is your book." Mark handed it over.

"Thanks a bunch." I said, truly grateful.

I planned on discussing about sexual orientation together with John, and to further understand our unusual relationship.

"We need to talk, John."

"Ah, okay."

We both sat against the wall, and I remembered the moment I... um.. yeah.. with John.

Flipping to the introduction page, I shared the book with him.

"What is it about me that you really liked anyway, Ha--"

"Well, obviously it's the childish appearance." Mark interrupted.

I immediately jumped at his presence.

"Mark!? I thought you left earli--!"

"I helped in protecting that book. I deserve to at least know what it's all about." Mark interrupted again.
