Markus slept for an hour or two, before he started to wake up again. His neck was a little stiff, and he was in general not the greatest feeling having slept sitting, but that would fade again soon.
“Daniel?..”, he asked quietly, wanting to make sure he was here, even though he was still in his lap.
“From time to time.”, Markus replied softly. He did like to go outside, whenever he felt well enough to do so.
“That’s good.” She smiled and laid down, “What a day.” She closed her eyes, she loved the warmth on her face.
Markus stayed quiet then, not too fond of talking with strangers unless he had to, or was spoken to in a friendly matter. It didn’t mean he’d try to hold the conversation up though.
“I know..”, Markus mumbled in reply. He had a low body temperature thanks to being underweight, and he felt cold really easily because of it too.
“You’re warm though.”. Daniel was nicely warm, and a good distraction from all the bad feelings. He was here, holding onto him, keeping him safe.“and I will make sure you’re warm as well” he said softly and rubbed his back gently. He smiled softly and hummed to him. He would stay for as long the other wanted him to stay, Markus was his soulmate after all.
Markus was very comfortable on top of Daniel. After some time, he had fallen asleep in the other’s lap, perfectly content to just sit there and sleep. He was warm, and comfortable, so what more could he ask for?
“I know..”, Markus mumbled in reply. He had a low body temperature thanks to being underweight, and he felt cold really easily because of it too.
“You’re warm though.”. Daniel was nicely warm, and a good distraction from all the bad feelings. He was here, holding onto him, keeping him safe.
“From time to time.”, Markus replied softly. He did like to go outside, whenever he felt well enough to do so.
“Alright then.”; Markus didn’t want to argue with Oliver. He would be glad for the warmth of Oliver with him, but if he was going to stay awake anyways, then what was he supposed to do?
“I’m really happy we’re finally traveling!”, he said with a bright smile.
“Tell me.”, Markus mumbled. He was comfortable with his arms around Daniel’s middle, and his head resting on his shoulder. He didn’t want to move, and he could feel how he looked like another time too. Maybe when his arms didn’t hurt as much anymore.
“Well… I have blue eyes and my skin is pretty pale.” He started and took his hand, letting his fingertips trail over his cheek softly. “I have just a little stubble going on in my face, I normally shave completely” he said softly. He then grabbed his hand and gently lead it up to his hair.
“My hair looks like the ones of those emo bands. Long bangs, and a bit longer in the back as well. And it’s turquoise” he told him.
Markus whined when Daniel pulled him back just to move his hand, missing the warmth of laying against his chest immediately. He listened quietly anyways though.
“Mh.”, he hummed, pulling his hand back so he could go back to wrapping his arms around Daniel’s middle, laying his head back onto his shoulder.
“Cold..”, he mumbled quietly, feeling warmer again against the other’s chest.
Since birth, you have a black marking on your body, where your soulmate will first touch you. It bursts into colour when you and your soulmate touch.
Markus didn’t know what could possibly happen to him. The black marking where his soulmate would first touch him was wrapped around his wrist, and he couldn’t tell if it was him getting pulled by it, or his wrist being held, or his arm moved, or anything. But he knew his soulmate would at least, hopefully, be able to notice they had touched when they did.
He stayed home a lot, blind and unable to work due to it. He liked going out though, to the park, sometimes.
Markus was surprised when someone talked to him so randomly. He hummed lightly, nodding.
“It’s nicely warm, and rather quiet today. It’s nice.”, he agreed. He had his eyes closed, knees drawn up to his chest. Just enjoying being here, listening to the birds.
She watched the water almost mesmerized by it. She sighed contentedly, “My name is Jasmine. It’s a pleasure to meet you Mr….?” She looked to him.
“Markus.”, Markus replied with a soft hum. He was content sitting like he did, curled up and enjoying the warmth he gathered like that. He didn’t feel the need to open his eyes, seeing how he couldn’t see in the first place.
“Tell me.”, Markus mumbled. He was comfortable with his arms around Daniel’s middle, and his head resting on his shoulder. He didn’t want to move, and he could feel how he looked like another time too. Maybe when his arms didn’t hurt as much anymore.
“Thank you.”, Markus said softly, looking towards Daniel with a little smile.
“Can.. you help me a little?..”, he asked quietly then. “I.. I just need to know what you made.. and where any glasses and such are..”, he mumbled. He didn’t want to grab into an open jar or glass, or knock something over.Markus relaxed on top of Daniel, enjoying his warmth, the blanket wrapped around the both somewhat. He was tired, thanks to his crying and bleeding, and didn’t feel any motivation to move much at all. And as long as he was warm and safe, he was okay with staying with Daniel.
“Can you tell me about yourself?”, Markus asked, mumbling. He would like to know more about him.
„Well sure..“ Daniel smiled and pulled him closer. „My name is Daniel, I’m 19 years old and I love in the city nearby. I’ve always been bullied in school for my sexuality and went through a rough time as well, but somehow I survived. I’m now living in a little apartment I call my own and work at a bakery“ he told him softly.
Markus listened quietly to Daniel, nodding along lightly. “I like baking.”, he murmured softly. “Maybe we can bake together some time..”. He could imagine living with Daniel. Not immediately of course, he was still a stranger, but some time. He’d like to not be alone.
