Marcus woke up in Josh's bed, something that caused the boy to nervously look around. He hummed and soon slid from the empty bed. He was only in his underwear and the large X-Files shirt that belonged to Josh. He saw his phone and picked it up. He looked through the flood of notifications that filled his lock screen. He blushed seeing a few random follows to his new twitter, a a few curious comments on his retweet of Josh's post. He opened up his snapchat, opening the snaps from Tenea and Ari. He giggled and took a selfie in Josh's shirt, sending them to his two friends and posting it to his story.
He left the room finally, walking down the stairs and entering the living room. He frowned and looked around, finally looking towards the kitchen. He saw Josh nervously struggling to put the slightly burnt scrambled eggs on the two dishes.
"Whatcha doing Joshua?!" Marcus playfully shouted.
Josh half screamed and jumped up, gasping and clutching his heart. "When did you get down here?!" He looked towards Marcus with wide eyes. He then began to blush looking down from Marcus' face and towards his bare legs.
"Eyes are up here cutie." Marcus hummed and walked into the kitchen, "I just got here."
Josh hummed sweetly into the kiss. He pulled back, "So I made breakfast, I burnt it. But it'll be good!"
"I bet!" Marcus giggled and took his plate, pushing some of the scrambled eggs into his mouth. "Really? You were worried? It is really good!"
"Oh thanks! I'm not a good cook." Josh sighed nervously.
"If it matters neither am I. I can make tacos, burritos, instant mashed potatoes, and canned green beans." Marcus hummed softly and continued to eat.
"Those all sound like good meals." Josh smiled brightly.
"Guess I'll have to make you one then." Marcus kissed at Josh's cheek.

Josh looked towards Marcus sadly as he put on his shoes, "Do you really gotta drive back to Reno today?"
"Yes, I sadly do." Marcus looked into Josh's eyes, "It's been wonderful spending all this time with you. I am still so sorry about the first night and the whole throwing up thing..." Marcus looked down.
"Don't worry, it gave meeting you even more character to it. I hope I can see you again so very soon." Josh pulled the boy close, squeezing him into a tight hug. "Text me, tweet me, snapchat me, DM me."
"You want me to slide into those DMs?" Marcus teased.
"Haven't you already?" Josh teased back.
"That I have. Now drive me to my hotel Joshua." Marcus adjusted his light blue 'Daddy' shirt.
"Fine..." Josh pouted and they left his house. The ride back to the hotel was filled with playful stories of their most embarrassing moments. When they arrived Marcus nervously got out of Josh's car and pulled at his hands lightly.
"So you wanna walk me to my car? Tenea and Ari are there waiting. They kinda packed it for my this morning." Marcus asked.
"Of course." Josh got out of his car.
Marcus held his hand and led him to his old grey/blue whatever brand car. He saw Tenea and Ari sadly standing and waiting for him. He looked towards Josh before tugging his hand free and running to Ari first. He jumped into their arms, burying their head in their neck.
"You gotta actually text us and stuff now little boy." Ari whispered. "You can't just abandon us ever again."
"Hell yeah my queen. You abandon me again, we will have some words....even though I wouldn't mind if you abandoned me for that cutie." Tenea said pointing to Josh, who blushed and looked down. Tenea then hugged Marcus.
Marcus sighed, "I will keep in touch. I love you both endlessly. Thank you for all you've done..." Marcus hummed.
"If either one of you make a Dun pun. I will leave." Ari said firmly, grinning.
"Wouldn't dare!!" Both Tenea and Marcus yelled.
Marcus then pulled back and looked to Josh. He was wearing those ripped black jeans again, a black shirt with the solar system on it, his black Doc Marten's, and his black snapback.
He was so handsome. So beautiful.
He was one of a kind.
"You should know, you're the most beautiful man I've ever seen." Marcus grinned softly, admiring how the shorter but older male walked over to him.
"No one really calls me....beautiful..." Josh blushed.
Marcus smiles, "You're beautiful to me then." Marcus opens his car door, getting in and starting it up. He rolled down the window. He giggled as Josh leaned down and into the window.
"I'll miss you." Josh murmurs, their lips catching again. Their lips slid firmly against one another, parting slightly. The feeling of Josh's tongue swiping along his bottom lip, enticed a soft moan.
"Get a room YOU TWO!!" Ari shouted.
"Use protection!!!" Tenea added.
Marcus pulled back, "We had a room, the small open window of my car! And Tenea. They don't sell protection for your mouth..."
"Well they should!" Tenea pouted.
Marcus looked back towards Josh. "Text me."
"Of course..." Marcus smiled out.
"Drive safe." Josh teased.
"Always try to." Marcus opened the case of the self-titled album, pulling out the CD and slipping it into the player. He hummed as he heard the music start.
"Glad I could give you this." Josh pointed at the case.
"It's the best gift ever." Marcus sighed.
"Goodbye Marcus..." Josh looked down as he stepped away.
"Goodbye Josh..." Marcus looked towards the rat's cage as he sat in the passenger seat. "Kylo says bye also."
Then Marcus pulled out from his parking spot, trying to hold back the thick tears that filled his eyes. He waved to his friends and Josh, "I love you three."
And as Marcus drove, listening to his favorite album, he finally let himself cry. He let tears drag down his freckled cheeks. He had a newfound appreciation for his life. He had so much to live for. His friends, even though he abandoned the, they wanted him around. Josh. Who thought he was unique. Enjoyed hearing his stories. And would miss him.
I used to say, "I wanna die before I'm old,"
But because of you I might think twice.
