Mech-X4 One-Shots

The Mechanic & The Fool (rewrite)

Mark's pov:

I sat in the mech's x-deck, trying to think. But so far it had been two hours and I was getting nowhere , I just couldn't focus. And that had nearly gotten everyone seriously hurt in our last monster fight. I....I just can't get spyder out of my head lately and it's really been killing me.

I don't know when it started but for the past months I've been having dreams..about me and him being together. But I'm not suppose to like him, I'm straight.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have a thing against gay or bi people or any people's sexuality for that matter. But what would people think, what would mom say?  What would spyder think? Would he be disgusted? Would this ruin the friendship we'd formed? Would he avoid me?

And what about Ryan. Spyder was one of his best friends,  would he think I was a freak for having feelings for his friend??

Then there's the age gap, I'm 18 and he's 14 going on 15 in the next month. I don't see people taking that well, they'd probably think I was a creep for dating someone so much younger than me.

Plus he'd be in high school for three more years.....or more, this was my last year of high school.

After this I'd be going to college, I wouldn't be able to see him much or contact him either. Classes and a part time job would take up most of my time.

Ugh what was I going to do

Though it's not like he'd love me back, he's got the hots for that reporter girl who goes to our school. I mean, yeah she's beautiful.  So why would he even spare me a glance. Ugh why was I even thinking about this. I sighed at my negative thoughts.

But soon my thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of my brother and his friends coming out of the elevator. With that, I forced a smile and put up my 'I'm awesome' look. Slumping back on the sofa and quickly turned on one of my old games that I'd won.

Ryan rolled his eyes and sat down on the sofa next to me. Harris sat down on Ryan's left. He was on his tablet, doing something. And spyder sat down on my right......really close. Our thighs were touching, a lump was forming in my throat, my palms were sweaty, I getting was nervous.

Crap, I really wish mom hadn't made spaghetti.

We watched the game for about an hour or so. It was about to go into half time, and I had to take a leak . "be right back" I said as I got up from my place on the sofa. I was just down the hall when I heard spyder say, he had to go to.

Damn it

I thought to myself. I just continued walking down the hall,  the sounds of his footsteps echoing in the background.

Finally the bathroom came into view and dived into one of the stales and did my business, as did he in one of the other stales. After that I went to the sink to wash my hands , he was already there washing his.

"Hey, dude are you okay?" He asked as he dried his hands.

"Yeah, why?" It came out a little meaner than attended.

He seemed to get nervous, "i-i mean you just seem....like there's something on your mind. "

He was right, there was a lot on my mind. But that couldn't stop me from focusing on his lush pale rose colored lips. They were just so hypnotizing, the way they curved when he talked.
