Arthur groaned. “Your soulmate is a fucking idiot.”, he said, laying the phone down. “He’s not even listening to me. Maybe he just can’t understand too much info at once.”, he hummed, wrapping an arm around Markus and running his other hand through his hair.

“You just shouldn’t be so mean..”, Markus mumbled.
“I’m just saying what’s true. You tried to die because he carved his number into his arm. He didn’t save you by doing that, he caused it. I know you hurt yourself before he did, but not worse than usual..”, Arthur nuzzled his face into Markus’ hair.

“He just doesn’t understand me. Sorry darling.”, he  murmured softly.
“It’s… I don’t know… fine maybe..”, Markus mumbled quietly. Maybe he should just go live with Arthur again. He’d be safe, he’d be taken care of, and no one needed to worry about him besides Arthur. He was very sure Daniel wouldn’t want to see him again.

Daniel indeed didn’t call anymore, since he had the feeling that he wasn’t needed and was only the one to blame for everything that went wrong by Arthur. He would maybe give Markus a second chance, but not his brother.

Arthur stayed with Markus for a week, before Markus decided to go back with Arthur. He wished to not exist, and living with Arthur was the closest he got to that without dying. And besides Arthur, no one cared about Markus anyways.

With a few things packed, Markus went with Arthur. A whole different town, needing pretty much the entire day to get to. Living in a cabin in a forest. Markus gave up on Daniel, believing he wouldn’t care about his existence either.

Arthur groaned. “Your soulmate is a fucking idiot.”, he said, laying the phone down. “He’s not even listening to me. Maybe he just can’t understand too much info at once.”, he hummed, wrapping an arm around Markus and running his other hand through his hair.

“He wouldn’t have tried to kill himself if you hadn’t hurt yourself.”, Arthur countered, frowning. “I’m very grateful you saved him, truly. I would be very upset if he died. But you can’t tell me to try a little harder, when I’ve taken care of him all his life, and saved said life multiple times before you even heard his voice for the first time. I’m brutally honest, and you have to get used to that if you want to be with my brother. I know you’re soulmates, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to be a good boyfriend for him.”.

“Arthur stop being mean to Daniel!”, Markus whined, uncaring if Daniel managed to hear him. “I know him a lot better than you. And if he’s not comfortable seeing you again this soon, after trying to kill himself yesterday and having multiple breakdowns, all because of you if you so want to argue, then you have to give him space.”.

“All because of me?!! I fucking hurt myself because he tried to kill himself and I just wanted to try and give him my number, you idiot!” He suddenly yelled at him. He had never been so angry in his life before.

Arthur rolled his eyes, staying calm. Markus was whimpering against him, having just heard Daniel yell, but not what he was saying.

“As far as I heard, Markus had hurt himself again, prompting you to cut your number into your arm. And thus, Markus felt terrible for making you do that, and tried to kill himself.”. Markus really wasn’t happy listening to it, but he had no other choice. He was pretty sure Daniel wouldn’t want to see him ever again.

“That’s not even the point here. It’s about you learning what Markus needs if you want to be with him. And if he needs space, even if it hurts you, give him space and don’t let him know you’re a little unhappy about it. I’d rather not have Markus have another breakdown again today after what apparently happened yesterday.”.

“He wouldn’t have tried to kill himself if you hadn’t hurt yourself.”, Arthur countered, frowning. “I’m very grateful you saved him, truly. I would be very upset if he died. But you can’t tell me to try a little harder, when I’ve taken care of him all his life, and saved said life multiple times before you even heard his voice for the first time.

“Okay..”, Markus mumbled, nodding lightly. He took a few deep breaths.
“I’m really sorry for Arthur. He’s an ass. He’s just- just trying to protect me…”, Markus fidgeted with Arthur’s shirt, not having changed position.

“He wants to apologize to you, is- is that okay? Can I give him to you?”.

Daniel sighed and bit his lip as he held onto his blanket. „Yeah sure.“ he mumbled and sighed, he wanted to give them another chance.

“I’m sorry. Thank you.”, Markus looked up to Arthur, and held the phone out to him. Arthur took the phone, humming lightly.

“Hey Daniel.”, he greeted. “Sorry for being so harsh to you. I didn’t mean to.”.

“Okay..”, Markus mumbled, nodding lightly. He took a few deep breaths.
“I’m really sorry for Arthur. He’s an ass. He’s just- just trying to protect me…”, Markus fidgeted with Arthur’s shirt, not having changed position.

Markus eventually tried to call Daniel again. He was still worried Daniel hated him, but he also trusted Arthur that he wouldn’t. Arthur was always fighting his bad thoughts, and it was nice to know someone who he trusted with his life said his soulmate didn’t hate him.

Daniel picked up his phone and bit his lip when he saw Markus ID.. he didn’t know if it was his brother again.

He took a deep breath and took the call. “Hello?” He said quietly.

“Hey Daniel..”, Markus mumbled. Daniel didn’t sound okay. It was his fault, right? No, no it was Arthur’s fault, and he would apologize, and everything would be okay.

“Do you hate me now?…”, he asked quietly, uncaring if Arthur was rolling his eyes -which he was doing- or not. He knew Arthur got annoyed at his depression sometimes too, but never audibly.

Markus eventually tried to call Daniel again. He was still worried Daniel hated him, but he also trusted Arthur that he wouldn’t. Arthur was always fighting his bad thoughts, and it was nice to know someone who he trusted with his life said his soulmate didn’t hate him.

“Arthur!”, Markus was upset, turning around in Arthur’s lap once he set the book away.
“Hey, not my fault he can’t take brutal truths.”, Arthur replied with a shrug, giving Markus his phone back.
“You’re an asshole!”, Markus huffed, more worries plaguing him than before. Would Daniel not want to be with him because of Arthur?

“Hey, he’ll calm down and you can call him again, alright? I’ll even apologize.”, Arthur said softly, running his hand through Markus’ hair.
“He doesn’t hate you, and he won’t leave you alone because of me either. I promise it’s okay.”.

Daniel curled up on his couch, now he couldn’t go back to his soulmate. Right? Not after his brother made clear what he thought about him.

Markus was still not happy about what Arthur did, but he also wasn’t sure what to do. Arthur said to wait and call later. It was what he would like personally too, so he had time to cry and calm down, and be ready to talk again.

So, with a frown, Markus relaxed against Arthur’s chest, pouting. He’d wait an hour.
