friends (scomark)

Scott takes one look at Mark and frowns. "You're nervous."

Mark shrugs. "I—yeah, I am. I haven't met your friends before."

"They are going to love you," Scott reassures, running a hand along Mark's shoulder, "I sure do." He grins.

Mark lightly elbows Scott at that comment, earning a giggle from him. "I love you too. But, that's what makes this so hard."

"What do you mean?"

"If they don't like me, what happens?" Mark asks.

"Then I continue loving you like none of it ever happened," Scott smiles at Mark, "This isn't a seal of approval, Mark."

"I know," Mark mumbles, "I just...I guess I just want them to like me."

"Like I said, they'll love you," Scott says, "Are you ready to go in?"

Mark shakes his head no quickly. "Not yet."

Scott leans down and gives Mark a quick kiss. "How about now?"

Mark blushes. "Better than before..."

Scott giggles at that and knocks on the door in front of them. With the hand he's not knocking with, he laces his and Mark's fingers together.

Scott's friend that Mark has learned to recognize as Mitch answers the door. "Hey, Scotty! Come on in," He lets them in.

Mark is thinking something about how he's not sure about other people calling his boyfriend Scotty when he sees the champagne on the table.

"Champagne?" Scott asks.

A girl with short blonde curls answers next. "We wanted to meet your man the right way. Hi, I'm Kirstin, by the way," She offers Mark her hand and he shakes it. "Do you want a glass?"

Scott nods and so does Mark. Once he has a few sips, he's much more comfortable. Mark looks around the room. There's more people than he thought, but he thinks he knows all of their names. Mitch, Kirstin, Kevin, Matt, Avi, Carissa, and Danielle.

"Everyone, this is Mark. Mark, this is...everyone." Scott says, laughing a bit at the end.

Mark nods. "Hi, guys, I've really looked forward to meeting you all. Scotty loves you guys. He talks about you a lot, and it's kind of adorable how much he loves you guys."

"He talks about us?" Avi asks, "Really?"

Mark nods. "Yeah...why?"

"He has no idea," Kevin says, "Mark, Scott talks about you nonstop. I mean, I would too. You're gorgeous."

Mark smiles a bit. "Thank you," he accepts the compliment.

"You have no idea how much he talks about you," Mitch says, "It's annoying, but also it makes me happy for him because he really loves you."

Mark kisses Scott's shoulder and then leans his head on it. Scott kisses Mark's hair and his heart nearly beats out of his chest when Mark giggles at some of the stories his friends are telling him.

"Scott, you're right, he does have a really contagious laugh," Kevin says, laughing himself, "And I thought mine was contagious."

Mark giggles some more. "Sorry," he apologizes.

"Woah, don't apologize," Carissa says, "At least in my opinion, a contagious laugh is the best thing to have."

"Agreed," Matt says.

Mark smiles. "Scotty, your friends are really sweet." He sits up fully. "Now that I have you all right where I want you....tell me some embarrassing stories."

Danielle claps her hands. "Has he told you the one about the pickle juice and the lemonade stand?"

"Nooooo," Scott whines, "Don't tell him that, he'll run away!!"

"I'd never run away from you," Mark says, "But, I do need to hear this story."

A few stories in, Mark is laughing his ass off. Scott loves it when Mark laughs, though, so even though he's embarrassed, he's happy.

"Mark, you're really sweet and you make Scott happy. And you're willing to make fun of him with us. I think we could become good friends," Kirstin says.

The group all nods and hums in agreement.

"He's a keeper, Scotty," Mitch says, "You won't get another one like him."

Scott looks at his boyfriend. "I know," he says, "I'm really lucky."
