scott: come over tonight?
mark: sure! be over in a few :)
Scott sighs and puts his phone down. Tonight is the night that he's going to ask Mark to be his boyfriend, and he doesn't want to screw it up. They've been hanging out every day, (well, a little more than hanging out), and Scott sees this as the next logical step.
He really likes Mark, and he doesn't know what he'll do if he's managed to screw this up.
He starts cleaning up his apartment, and hates that he only really gave himself ten minutes to do so.
There's a knock at the door. Scott opens it, and smiles when he sees Mark there.
"Hey, Scott," Mark says, walking in.
"Hey," Scott breathes out, closing the door.
They walk to Scott's bedroom, and sit on his bed.
Mark notices that Scott's tense, and takes his hand in his own. "Scott? You okay?"
"Yeah, I...Can I ask you something?" Scott asks.
"Anything." Mark says.
"I was wondering if—" Scott takes a deep breath, "If you'd want to be mine. Be my boyfriend, I mean."
Mark's face changes. Scott can't seem to read it.
After a moment, Mark speaks.
"Scott, I...I'm not even out yet. Nobody knows I'm gay but you and my best friend. I've enjoyed hanging out with you these past few weeks, I'm just not ready....I'm sorry."
Scott looks down, doesn't know what to do.
"It's okay. It's stupid to think that'd work out anyways."
"No, it's not that—"
"I need some fresh air."

It's only a day or so later when Mark is on instagram and he scrolls past a photo of a happy gay couple, newly engaged.
His heart aches.
The next photo is a photo of Scott. It's an old one, he's seen this one before. It's a throwback with him and his sister.
His heart aches even more. He feels like he's going through a breakup. He feels tears roll down his cheeks and it becomes hard to breathe.
This stupid boy that started out as a hookup stole his heart.
And then he starts getting dressed, because he needs to see Scott and he needs to make things right.
•••
Scott feels pathetic for asking.
How did he think asking a boy who's still in the closet to be his boyfriend would work out? He wishes he would have waited. Maybe he'd be happier.
He hugs his pillow, although it's not doing the job for him. All he wants right now is someone to love.
There's a knock at the door.
Scott doesn't want to answer it. But he does, and he regrets it the second he opens the door.
It's Mark.
And fuck, because his heart is beating out of his chest at the sight of him.
"I think I left my jacket here the other day." Mark says.
Scott invites Mark in, and gets him his jacket.
"Scott? Can we talk?" Mark asks.
"I'd rather not," Scott admits.
"Can I just ask you one thing?"
"What?"
"I was wondering if that offer for being your boyfriend is still up."
"What?" Scott asks. His eyes widen.
"Scott, I made a mistake. I really like you and today I realized that I want to be yours. And...I came out to my mom today."
"Really?"
Mark nods.
"I—yeah, be my boyfriend, Mark," Scott laughs, pulling Mark into a hug.
As they're pulling away from the hug, Mark leans up and kisses Scott, and Scott can't help but smile into it.
They pull apart, and Mark wraps his arms around Scott's neck. "I'm sorry for before," he says, "But I knew I screwed up. I like you a lot, Scotty. Please believe me when I say that."
"I do, baby," Scott says, and Mark blushes at the nickname. "Will you kiss me again?" Scott asks.
"Of course," Mark whispers, closing the gap between them.
