Wow. Okay, um.
[And there it is, bubbling up out of him, and he seriously doesn't mean to say anything because it's painfully uncool, but...]
You are like...really handsome, with the big manly arms and everything, and seriously, I was not joking about the pretty eyes, and you're interested in me and stuff, and it's really nice, and I like spending time with you. You know?
[He has to physically bite his lips to keep from talking more at this point.]
no subject
No, no, keep going. I like hearing what you have to say. I've never had anyone make me feel the way I do around you. You're smart, and funny, and you're one of the most interesting people I've ever met. That's even without being able to turn into different animals. And you don't care I can't--
[And then a pink flush goes across Ivar's cheeks and he stops talking.]
no subject
[Marco winks at him a little, and then suddenly Ivar is saying all that stuff, and Marco's going a little pink himself. Lifting a hand, he rubs at the back of his neck and just kind of grins like a complete idiot.]
I mean, I always thought of myself that way, I guess, but it's nice hearing it from you, because you're smart and funny and charming and interesting.
[That last part makes Marco blink.]
What, that you can't help being a badass Viking?
no subject
[He's dreaming, right? Any second he's going to wake up because nice things just don't happen to Ivar. Or when they do, there's always a catch when the other shoe drops eventually, leaving him more hurt than before.]
Yes, let's go with that.
[He loves the fact Marco has never once even seemed to notice or care that he can't walk. He could fall so much harder for this handsome shapeshifter then he even has already.]
This doesn't happen to me that often. [People being interested in him, he means.] And the last time it didn't turn out so well for me.
no subject
[Another crooked little grin, and he raises his brows a bit.]
Really? I mean, I can't say I've been all that lucky when it comes to long-term stuff, it's all been models and actresses for a couple weeks here and there. The whole dating thing can be really rough. What happened?
[The not being able to walk thing honestly barely registers to Marco. He's never cared, it's never bugged him, he's sorta dated someone in a wheelchair before. He's argued for hours with Ax about how people with disabilities have value and should be treated like they do.]
no subject
[Then he realizes what he just said. Crap. Well, moving on, his face falls, his eyes going sad.]
I was with Letha almost the entire time I was here. She was pregnant and I told her I was going to be a father to her child. After her daughter was born, things just...changed. She rejected her daughter entirely. Then, one day, I woke up and she was gone. She'd gone to Kattegat, in my world, without even saying goodbye. [Then he adds on in an extremely eerily calm tone still filled with fury.] I think I'll break her neck if I ever see her again.

It's a little awkward to me. You get to see me when I'm the least cute. And, like, sleeping next to a cute boy makes me really miss masturbating.
*See, even at Lola's clumsiest and most brazen that'd would not be a thing she shares.*
no subject
[That last part makes him choke though.]
You don't do it in the shower? That's when I do it.
[OH MY GOD.]
no subject
*Look nothing about this conversation is leaving this elevator. And honestly there's every chance Lola would pretend it never happened.*
I'm sorry I can't say the same about you, but the nightmares really aren't cute. Everything else is.
no subject
[....wait. Ouch. Marco actually makes a face at that.]
Well, sorry. I thought I was pretty cute considering I had my high school experience hijacked by going to war with brain-stealing alien parasites via turning into animals and getting eviscerated or my face torn off pretty regularly.
no subject
*...The worst part is that's canon information.*
Nonono, I don't blame you, just... everything about that is kinda terrifying and definitely not a thing I coulda handled. And I really don't wanna hear more because I don't want any of those nightmares. I have enough problems with my petty normal issues with mom leaving and my friends never being supportive when I need them. Like when a boy dumped me or I had to get an abortion.
*That's the first thing Lola's expressed by accident that causes her to put her hands over her mouth to shut up.*
no subject
[Seriously, he cannot be discussing his lube preferences with a cute girl. Seriously.]
Well, you're pretty safe, I don't really like talking about it much. It's way better making jokes and pretending like none of it was very bad. Maybe I'm not the big damn hero like Jake, but at least I'm not broken.
[His fists are clenched at his sides, he can't help it, and then when she mentions the abortion he exhales roughly.]
My mom left too. She didn't mean to, but she did. And it sucked. And I'm sorry you had to get an abortion and no one was there to look out for you.
no subject
*Look it is the best thing for their sanity if they pretend it never happened. Like everything else they avoid dealing with.*
It's one of those things that just is there, because you see all your friends with their parents and... it just hurts.
I wasn't alone, someone went with me. I wouldn't say a friend exactly, but going with me definitely made her more important to me. She didn't judge or try to guess who the dad was. I know my friends didn't mean anything but...
*Frankie and Shay were awful then.*
no subject
[He winces a little, and only a bit more when she mentions friends with parents.]
Right? Totally adding insult to injury when your dad shuts down afterward and you basically have no parents.
Well it's good you had someone. I probably would've been total crap at dealing with something like that.
no subject
*In spite of how everything she just said is mortifying, Lola's just going to curl up next to Marco for the comfort that that can bring. Since... he had it harder than her, she's not sure how much she can say to help on that.*
My dad didn't shut down, he was busy a lot, but... he put all he could into making me happy. I wish you could have had that. From your dad, anything else would be weird.
Most people would be. Yael didn't do a lot, just... be there. It was all I needed. Not being alone. Being alone scares the hell out of me.
no subject
[When she curls in next to him, he wraps an arm around her shoulders, and...it's nice, to have a girl looking to him for comfort, even if he's awful at giving it.]
That was what my dad was like after he kind of pulled out of it. But it was a few years before he did. I was like. Eleven when she left.
[He shrugs.]
Being alone scares the hell out of me too.
no subject
*Dolores was the one in charge of that, Ivar was following her lead most of that night. It was weird.*
Yeah... I don't know how dad managed. But he did. I mean, he foisted girly stuff on some of the cantina waitresses. The whole bra shopping and make-up stuff was so beyond him. But he tried.
*Have some Lola just kinda pressing her face into his neck.*
Well, we're not alone right now. Right?
