That means we were each other's firsts.......
if it's any consolation, it's the first time i clicked so fast with someone too!
I dunno if I ever processed the fact that I'm dating someone. I, uh. This is the first time I've had an instant connection with someone...

[H. Yeah that's pretty gay.]
…This isn't the one I use for fighting, though. Well… Not anymore. I got a wind bootleg and named him Fartacus. Cannibalized poor Audrey here and built up a beast of a glass cannon.
[...Glass is an element. It's awkward to use that terminology when he means its build.]

Yeah. There was a lab carved out of the caves near Autumn Hill, and based on the records left behind, this really was a Frankenstein of monster parts.
They can split like amoebas. It's a really difficult form to master.

Anathema.
sometimes i think m' some cute little guy and other times i am reminded that i am a terrifying beast and an ungodly amalgamation of animal and man.

"Maybe we can." Mar smiles softly, almost timid to make such a declaration. "It hasn't been long, and I worry a bit about it being a honeymoon phase… but maybe it's okay to let things between us fall into place naturally."
He sets up the pot for cooking over the campfire and pours in a can of soup.

" ... i am too. "
though, his solitude was self inflicted. too wrapped up in his studies and work to even consider interacting with the outside world on a regular basis. but it doesn't mean he enjoys the constant loneliness.
" i hope we can fill that void in each other's life maybe. "

"Thanks." Mar smiles a bit as he loads up the campfire circle with wood.
"I just... have to move on. They're never coming back." That's what hurts the most. They knew they would never be able to come back, and they chose this anyway. They chose to leave Mar alone.
"...I'm tired of being alone."

If you do, I wanna see it. [Mar looks so invested.] If I can get a pink one, I'll trade you anything you want. If it's blue, well... We can just say it's a bootleg.
[He doesn't know what a water bootleg of Stardigrade looks like, but he's going to find out. Then he can get it cute little clothes.]

i think it was blue. but i wonder if they made any more other than that one. but i shoulda' got one when i had the chance!
... maybe i could get one off eBay or somethin'.
( scratching his chin in thought. )

Wha. Build-a-water-bear?! [Mar is enraptured.] That's hilarious. I would so have one if I knew that was happening.
If it came in pink, I could dress it up like Stardigrade. That'd be awesome.
[He shows no sign of wanting to stop Eros. Learning about water bears is fun.]

"Barkley's thoughts are mostly in pictures and sounds," Mar explains. "I've been steadily teaching him English, but he can't speak it."
Barkley gives a soft "bouff" and a proud puff of his chest.
"He kinda talks like the Lemme Smash meme in the brainspace. Short, hyperactive thoughts."

he misses having animals around. well. normal animals. he has an odd menagerie at the lab. a ton of beetles, a living, walking fungus and a small dinosaur. but he misses dogs! cats!
but that damn microraptor would be a menace.
" what's his thoughts like? do you hear words or? "

Barkley sniffs and rubs all over Eros's hand energetically. He's both extremely smart and extremely kind. The perfect partner for Mar.
"He likes you," Mar hums. "He's a great battle buddy. His thoughts are a lot of fun to watch when we fuse."

[It helps, but Mar feels so empty inside. His entire existence is a blight upon the people he loves. Isn't it? So many sins he bears, so many people to apologize to. He will never be free of his guilt.]
...Sorry. [Mar rubs at his eyes.] This is very un-sexy.

oh, marmar ...
( he isn't the best with these things. but he's trying his best. he keeps mar close, lightly rocking side to side. physical comfort is more of what he's good at. )

[Mar continues to sob until he gains control of himself again. He turns off the tears so quickly once he has them under control. It's almost scary.]
I guess so... [His voice is another story. Eros can hear the strain in it.]

Raining today.
......
I wonder what makes people so gloomy during rain. Getting drenched? Needing to stay cooped up indoors? Or is it because they're lonely and they miss the sun?
