“I’m glad you get to enjoy your birthday more like how you want to.”.
“Makes it even better because I have such lovely company. Here I’m constantly surrounded by people using me to get close to my father or brother” Kyle sighs softly. “You’re different. You’re not part of the crowd you seem like you’re your own person and content in life.”
Markus blushed a soft pink colour at the small compliment, not used to such genuine words. It surprised him, though he smiled.
“Not really content in life, but I try my hardest.”, he said and chuckled softly. He tried his hardest to be strong, and confident, and everything that was expected of him, even though he wasn’t anything of that.
“I don’t want to take advantage of anyone. I want to be close to people because I like them, not for their power.”
