Nathaniel x Marc

(Nathaniel;s POV) Warning may trigger some people

today is the day, I'm going to tell Marc i like them, look i know what your thinking, 'didnt you have a crush on Marinette like two months ago?' and though you are correct, I've moved on. plus Marinette is head over heels for Adrian and I'm not going to lie, i can see why he is very good looking and very nice, but Adrian is the most oblivoius person i have ever met so i dont know how much longer this back and forth is going to go. anyway back to me, i found out

the other day Marc is gay and has a crush the likliness it me is very slim but its worth the risk right? i walk into school and head staright for the the art room, my heart and mind full of life, when i turn the corner all that disapears, Marc isnt there. "wheres Marc?" i ask Alix who was spray painting in the corner, "oh they left earlier said something about a doctors apointment, anyway their not going to be back for the rest of the day" she says i groan and sit on a

chair, Alix comes over to me and crosses her arms "whats squished your tomato head?" she asks i sigh "i was going to tell them today" i said my best friend laughs "really? well thats in convenet" she says i sigh and stand up she grab my shoulder "look, Nat, I'm sorry that wasnt very nice, look they said that they would be heading home at twelve which is in like five minutes, go ahead and go I'll make up an exscuse for you" she says i smile and thank her before heading

over to Marc's house, I make it and see their mom's car parked out front, i walk to the door and knock, their mother answers and smiles "hello nathaniel, Marc is up in their room, but be sweet he is still upset about today" i tilt my head but didnt ask questions i smile and head up stairs. I open the door and see Marc hiding in their hoodie drawing, a few tears leave their face, i slowly approch and sit on the edge of Marc's bed, they look up and wipe their tears "h-hi Nat" he says i

sigh and move closer to him "whats wrong?" i ask. They sigh "I know Alix told you i had a doctors apointment, but that w-wasnt true, i s-saw m-my dad today" they say, Marc has told me stories of his dad and that he used to be a great guy used to being the key words here. "i decided to tell him I'm gay i figured he wouldnt care since he most likey suspeted it like my mother, but i was wrong" Marc removes their hood. i cover my mouth to provent me from gasping, on their left eye was a huge

buruse, "he did this?" i ask Marc nods "my mother called to police and he was taken in for child endangerment, i've been visiting him every month and the one time i tell him he flips" Marc starts to cry again, i move beside they and give a hug to them. They cry into my shoulder. i run my fingers throught Marc's black hair calming them down, "I-im s-sorry" Marc says i lift his chin "why are you sorry? you did nothing" i say they frown and look down "I know, its just I'm weak" i shake my

head and pull them closer, "your not weak, your very strong, I mean i dont think i could even try telling my dad I'm bi" i say Marc looks at me "your not out to your family?" They ask i shrug "I'm out to my Mother but not to my dad" i say Marc looks at me and blushes reminding me why I'm here in the first place. "umm Marc?" i say they tilt their head "yes nat?" Marc says i take a deep breath here it goes. "I know this is a lot of emotion to process, but i feel like next time I'll

chicken out so, I like you, like more than a friend, more than a best friend, I guess I'm saying I'm in love with you Marc" i say they laugh "whats so funny?" i say Marc smiles "i figured, because Alix and Marinette said there might be a chance, those girls dont know when to shush, i love you too" Marc says i smile and

kiss their cheek, he smiles, "is that all i get?" They smirk and pulls me to kiss his lips. we break "when did you get so bold?" i ask Marc laughs "when i realized you werent going to make the first move" Marc says. we cuddle and watch movie until i have to leave well that wasnt how i excspeted that to go......
