Please, Don't Leave Me

Chapter 17

          After Marc confronted Chloe and gave her that hug, he noticed a visible change in her attitude; she was so much more grateful for everything. He was smiling and talking to her and giving her makeup tips to best suit her complexion when he felt toned arms wrap around his waist and a freshly shaved chin rest on his shoulder. He giggled and looked at Nathaniel, who was looked bored. "Bored, Honey?" he asked. The redhead nodded, "I wanna dance.." Marc smiled and he and Chloe both giggled. "Go on and dance with your boyfriend. I need to try to talk to Adrian, anyway," she encouraged. Marc nodded and Nathaniel smiled as he finally led him to the dance floor. Nino had decided to play "I'm Not a Vampire" by Falling in Reverse. Marc, loving this song, began to dance and clap to it, making his redheaded lover smile as he joined him. He would occasionally spin Marc around but mostly just followed Marc's movements. He loved seeing Marc smiling and having fun so he didn't care what they looked like; this was just too much fun.

          By the time the song ended, the boys were out of breath and laughing. Nathaniel smiled and cupped his cheek, admiring how his emerald green eyes shined in the disco lights. Marc blushed and smiled sweetly before leaning in and giving him a quick kiss before running off playfully. Nathaniel stood there and blinked for a second before smirking and running off after him, dodging people as he did. He saw Marc running upstairs so he immediately followed. He got upstairs and lost sight of him so he checked the rooms, not finding him. He looked thoroughly confused until a door closed behind him and he felt someone pounce on him. "Gotcha!!" Marc said playfully when they landed on the floor. Nathaniel chuckled and tried to get up but then Marc started tickling him, his eyes widening before he started laughing.

          "S-stop!! That tickles!! AHHHH!!" Nathaniel laughed as he wiggled out of under Marc before smirking and tickling him for revenge, making him squeak and he tried to run to the door playfully, but Nathaniel grabbed him and pulled him close. Marc giggled as he looked up at his redheaded lover. Nathaniel smiled lovingly as he hooked a finger under his chin and kissed him lovingly. Marc's eyes closed as he kissed Nathaniel lovingly. He wrapped his arms around Nathaniel's neck as the redhead held him by his hips. Nathaniel deepened the kiss, feeling Marc melt into it. His hands ran up and down Marc's exposed sides, resulting in Marc humming into the kiss. Marc moved a hand from his neck to his chest romantically, but they were interrupted  by a knock on the door.

          They broke apart as the door opened as Juleka came in with rose. The boys blushed and quickly rejoined the rest of the party, not wanting to see or hear the girls making out among other things. When they got back to the dance floor, "Rude Boy" by Rihanna was playing so Marc smiled and started dancing with Nathaniel, using each dance move turning Nathaniel on as Marc rolled his hips in a sexy, feminine manner. When the song said "Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, yeah" Marc winked as he ground on him. Nathaniel instinctively grabbed a hip and started dancing with him, everyone stopping to watch the boys'chemistry explode. "If they haven't already fucked, they probably will by the end of the night," Alya whispered to Alex. Alex made a face before shaking her head. "The last thing I wanted was imagining my best friend having sex, Alya. Gross," she said, glaring at Alya. Alya laughed before watching the boys dance. Nathaniel let go so Marc could turn to face him and when he did, he dipped down and came up running his hands up his own legs, intentionally trying to turn him on. It worked because Nathaniel grabbed his hips and pulled him close right as the  song ended. 

          Marc giggled until he felt how hard he got Nathaniel then he blushed big time. Nathaniel leaned in and kissed him, Marc melting into it. They broke the kiss to start dancing again, focusing on each other as their eyes locked. This time, the song was slower so they swayed, Nathaniel trying to calm his libido. Marc smiled shyly at him as they danced. "Dammit, Marc.. You're too cute when you blush..." This made Marc squeak and hide his face in Nathaniel's chest, making the redhead chuckle. He held Marc close lovingly as they continued to sway to the music. After calming down slightly he looked up at Nathaniel, who smiled at him. "You make an adorable Chat Noir, Kitten~" Marc turned bright red again but decided to shut him up with a kiss. Everyone around them smiled and the couple heard a few comments about how cute they were together. Marc, of course, buried his face in Nathaniel's face again. Nathaniel chuckled and checked the time. "Shit! Babe, we should get headed home. It's already almost 11, and I have to be home by 11:30..." Marc nodded and they said their goodbyes, Marc hugging Alya and Marinette before they walked back to Nathaniel's. 

          When they arrived and opened the door, Nathaniel's mother was leaning against the bar. "Have fun?" The boys nodded, unsure why she was standing there. "That's good. So would you boys care to explain why Marc's room smells of sex and the sheets were filthy?" There it was. She asked the big question, and they both knew that there was no getting out of it. "It wasn't planned... Seeing Marc in his costume... I couldn't help myself... I started kissing his neck and one thing just sorta.... led to another....." Nathaniel tried to explain. His mother did not look happy, "Did you use a condom?" Nathaniel blushed. He felt really uncomfortable answering so Marc took his hand. "I told him not to wear one... I was in a sort of high and didn't want anything between us... If you're mad, please be mad at me... Not Nate..." Nathaniel's mother's eyes widened; she was not expecting Marc to take full responsibility. She sighed, "I'm not mad, boys. I was just worried. However, now, you both have to go with me to the clinic this weekend and get tested. If you two are clean, I won't have any problems. If one or both of you are infected with anything, there will be steps you will both need to take. OK?" 

The boys looked down and nodded. Nathaniel's mother's eyes softened and she hugged them. "Marc, I know you have already been tested, but Nathaniel's uncle has HIV so I just want to make sure my son and son-in-law are safe, OK? I love you both..." The boys hugged her back tight, "We love you too.." The boys let go and went upstairs to Nathaniel's room. Marc looked like he was about to cry as he sat on his lover's bed. "Hey... It'll be OK... We'll be going together so think of it as moral support... I know it's not going to be fun, but Mom is one of your legal guardians now thanks to your dad travelling a lot... So the clinic won't have to tell your dad..." Marc nodded and when Nathaniel sat down next to him, Marc hugged him tight. "I don't want to do this... But I don't have a choice.... But I'm gonna do this for you... Just.... No matter what.... Please.... Please, don't ever leave me....." Nathaniel's eyes softened and his kissed the top of Marc's head. "I won't... I promise..."
