Silence Gives You Space

Chapter Fifteen: Two Months Later

It was mid August, Marcus back to his calm life in Reno, spending most of his days at work, or at home, cuddling with Kylo and watching Youtube. He never missed the new Twenty One Pilots interviews. Josh and them were still going strong, but Josh had been busy. So when Josh dropped him back off at his home. They shared a few strong, tear filled kisses, before promising they would see eachother again soon.

Marcus would wait however long it took, to just be held in Josh's arms again.

They opened the link to the newest interview. He smiled brightly at the sight of Josh's still silver hair. He smiled at how the floof seemed to have gotten longer. He couldn't wait till he could play with that hair once more.

The first question came on, "So Josh, How are you and your partner doing? I know you two have been apart for two months now."

Josh laughed softly and ran his fingers through his hair and leant back. His free hand messing with the rips at the knees of his jeans.

"We are doing good I think! They are back home for now, working, and spending time with their rat Kylo. I miss them terribly though!"

The interviewer smiled widely, "How does it feel to date someone that has said, and I quote, 'He's the entire reason I breathe, and live in this hell of a world'?"

Josh looked down to his hands, giving a sort of sad but hopeful smile before looking up once more.

"It's one of the most extremely amazing feelings. Because they give me so much, and I'm lucky I can give them something in return."

Josh paused and looked at the camera.

"Marcus if you're watching this. I love and miss you."

"I love yah too Marcus. And Jenna-" Tyler added in and grinned, "I'm so excited to get back to you my lovely wife."

Marcus watched the rest, and yes, he did cry. How could he not? He missed Josh. Missed kissing him. Missed gazing into his dark eyes. Missed the warmth he gave off. Missed how sweetly he spoke to them.

Marcus closed his eyes and leant into his pillows, curling up and crying openly.

Tenea came to visit the next day, bringing a bottle of red wine with her. A bottle the friends opened and greedily started drinking.

Marcus leant into the couch, Kylo perched on their shoulder as they took another sip from the wine glass.

"So how have you been without him?" Tenea hummed and raised her eyebrow curiously.

"I've been good. We still text, I just can't fall asleep tucked against him. " Marcus shrugged and looked down into the glass.

"Marcus, I gotta ask. I know you really love Josh. But are you willing to deal with all this?" Tenea spoke sternly.

"Yes...I am willing...Tenea, you've always been there for me...But I can't drag you down anymore...You need to find your happiness in this world! You need your husband and children! You deserve all that! You don't deserve to be on suicide watch anymore with me!" Marcus finished with a yell, setting the glass down.

Tenea frowned, "You deserve that too you know! You deserve a man or woman or they/them who will be there for you!"

"And Josh has proved that! Tenea, I made my decision!" Marcus said firmly.

"Fine...I just care about you Marcus." Tenea sighed and looked to the side.

"I know...that's why you introduced Josh and I..." Marcus moved Kylo to his lap. He stroked her fur and hummed softly.

Tenea looked towards her friend, "I support you both...."

Marcus looked to Tenea, "Thank you.."

Marcus was laying on his bed in his McDonalds uniform after work one day when he heard a firm knock on the door.

Marcus huffed and slowly pushed himself up, he walked over towards the front door and opened it. He gasped when he felt a pair of lips firmly slam into their own. Marcus whimpered and opened his eyes, when he noticed the silver hair he immediately untensed and moaned into the kiss.

Marcus stumbled back and pulled Josh inside of his house, the man closing the door as he moved inside.

"Josh why are you here..." Marcus murmured and gasped as Josh sat down on the couch, pulling Marcus into his lap.

"I came to ask you something.." Josh grunted and sucked at Marcus' bottom lip.

Marcus trembled and whimpered, moaning and gasping in pleasure.

"What's the question...?"

Josh pulled back and grinned proudly.

"The question is if you will move into my house in LA with me?"

Marcus blushed and looked into Josh's dark eyes. He looked down, teeth pulling his bottom lip into his mouth.

Marcus then looked up once again.

"Yes."

"I'll move in with you."
