and he's sweet. and he's mean. + whizzvin

"I never fucking chose to have to babysit your family, Marvin! You ruined my life!"

Despite how heated his skin was, in spite of the boiling anger threatening to spill in his stomach, the man felt his blood run cold. The poison in the actual contents of the insult were notable, sure, but Whizzer never used his actual first name - he was always given a nickname of some kind - which only added to how effective the phrase was. Marvin suddenly felt a sinking, scared feeling in his heart, as if his soul was beyond frightened and had somehow escaped the reigns of his emotional barrier. His soul was now running loose on the carpeted floor of their shared bedroom, but he'd be damned if he'd let his lover see it on his face.

"You're the one that decided to pick me up at that bar - and you never bothered to ask about my family!"

"Oh, but I could always tell you were a fucking closet case! Always so nervous around boys - I should've known you were cheating on your wife. Fuckin' disgusting."

Whizzer could tell he struck a nerve with that phrase when he saw the elder's face twist and his shoulders freeze in a sudden lack of confidence. He was so thrilled that his long legs suddenly stopped pacing and froze in front of his shorter boyfriend. With a smirk, he dropped to a crouch in front of where his lover was seated on their bed, his tauntings becoming decidedly much more remarkable if done directly to his face.

"I mean, look at you! Pathetic. You can't even look at me when we're arguing," He tried to shift to look completely at Marvin's face, but he turned away, doing anything to avoid eye contact. That is, until Whizzer's hand shot for his jaw and yanked his head to face him.

The taller lover freezed suddenly, whether it was to take in the emotion on his boyfriend's face he never saw, or out of shock because Marvin didn't recoil or shout when his face was grabbed, he'll never know - he stared back at Whizzer, even daring to lock eyes with him; completely vulnerable, like a wounded animal.

Marvin's jaw was clenched tight, his lips a thin line - so clearly holding back tears, his eyes were wide and so full of hurt and sadness that Whizzer wished he could've taken everything back. The baby blues that he'd fallen in love with, the ones that are typically so bright and so very arrogant - full of life - looked so miserable.

There was a silent moment that passed between the two boys - two souls suddenly intertwined with an emotional understanding that neither realized - a pregnant pause - until Marvin spoke.

"Do.. Do you really think I ruined your life?" He hiccupped, voice so small and raspy that Whizzer didn't immediately recognize it as his.

"No - no, of course not," He slowly reached up to tenderly twist his fingers in his boyfriend's brown hair. "I'm so sorry, baby."

Marvin smiled, his face visibly straining, and his lover could only return the expression because, for a brief moment, he saw the brightness that he loved so dearly - he saw the lovestruck warmth in his eyes even through the cloudy storms that sometimes overtook them, and that somehow made every bit of anger left in him melt away. That's what made him stay.

"I'm sorry too, my prince," He used the nickname the younger loved so dearly as he dried his tears. "I just - please never forget that.. That I'm so very in love with you."

Whizzer beamed, he was ashamed to admit that he was beginning to cry too. In a way that's basically become a habit, he shifted his hand to his lover's cheek and leaned in to kiss him tenderly. After sharing a kiss that was sweetened by dried tears, smiles, and dehydrated headaches, he leaned his forehead against his boyfriend's.

"I'm so very in love with you too."
