Word count - 2122
You were sitting on your bed doing homework, Your mom was out with your brother which you're thankful for.. you didn’t need anymore distributions.
“Why? Maths gotta be so hard,” You mostly say to yourself, however a little birdy heard through your window.
“I could help you,” Marcus Baker, the boy next door. Ever since he laid eyes on you he can’t help himself not climb into your window almost every day.
“Wtf, what are you doing here!” You nearly screamed, Paper flying off of the bed, “You made me jump,”
“Mm,” he hums, listening to your voice as he picks up your maths paper off of the floor to give it to you.
“Thanks,” You whisper, with a small smile taking the papers out of his large, callous hands.
“What?” You ask, nearly giggling. Marcus’s eyes are boring into yours with hope knowing he should have made a move before but he was too scared for his feelings to be destroyed.
“Mar,” You began, him taking you by surprise as his hand tucked your hair behind your ear as he pressed his rough yet soft lips to yours.
You immediately close your eyes, following his lead by running your hand through his hair and the other on his jaw line, kissing him back.
“What was that?” You breathily asked, after pulling away, Marcus gulps.
He wants to run away, go back out of the window away from all of this chaos. However, he will stand his ground of fear because his heart aches at looking at you, not being able to touch you or to make you his.
You feel like you've been running around in circles with Marcus ever since you two both had sex. You being the new girl, dumb enough to kiss the first guy that interacts with you.
You both took it with a pinch of salt until you ended up being friends with Max, his twin sister.
That day Max invited you over for the first time. You were in her room together until she left to go to the bathroom. Not thinking much of it, you were still typing things on your laptop until Marcus came in the room.
Looking up, your breath hitched as Marcus came close rather quickly. Without a second glance he cups your jaw, smoothly kissing you passionately. Even though you had no idea why he did that, you ended up kissing him back in the moment.
“Weed?” Marcus grins, showing you the bag as he pulls away from you. You seem to shake your head, confused.
You remember you were thankful that Max came back screaming at her brother to get out. Her saying sorry for him talking to you, you didn’t have the guts to tell her that it was everything but talking.
Since then you are talking, sometimes you get a kiss or two off of him but nothing close to this ever since the first time.
“I want to hold you,” Marcus lets his words out, weirdly as he lifts you up, putting you onto his lap.
You didn’t say anything against it. secretly, wanting him to show you any type of fluffy affection other than kissing.
You sigh happily out of content, Marcus ears picks up on your little sound.
“You like that pretty girl?” You can feel Marcus’s smirk as he nozzles his nose to your ear. You feel butterflies through your tummy at hearing the pet name.. he has never called you such things.
“You like that don’t You?” He kisses your temple as his arms wrap around your waist tighter, making you sink more into his chest.
You let out a small hum to his question, his fingers run along your hair again.
You know it might take a while for him to speak but that’s definitely ok, you got all the time in the world for him.
The maths homework is long forgotten as you sit in comfortable Silence, enjoying each other’s warm embrace.
Marcus knows he should tell you about his true feelings, right now! Even more right now. You are sitting gorgeously on his lap, head on his shoulders yet his lips won’t move into words.
You feel him shake against you, startling you as he is in deep thought.
“What’s wrong? Marcus..” You run your hand through his hair to try and calm him down, he squeezes you tight.
“Hey, it’s ok,” You hug Marcus into a full hug just as tight to let him know you here, “It’s going to ok, I’m here for you,”
“I don’t know how to express my feelings to you,” Marcus let’s put a painful sigh, “I really, really want to tell you how I feel towards you,” his breathing calms down, he talks feeling your fingers through his hair.
“Marcus you tell me your feelings when you are ready,” You kiss his forehead, giving him comfort like he does to you when you are crying.
Marcus lifts you up with him, laying you guys on the bed as he pulls you into his chest.
He turns around to face you, “No, I want to tell you now!” He gently grabs your hand into his own, looking at you in your beautiful orbs.
“Then don’t be afraid to tell me,” You look up to him with a gentle smile, “You won’t hurt me, pretty boy,”
Marcus smiles at the cute pet name that he has started but you're using it for himself this time.
“What?” You break into a grin, smoothing his hair out, “Nothing,” Marcus tries to deny.
“Is it because you like being called a pretty boy?” You lick your lips playfully, teasing him.
He sits up a little towards you, giving you a single glance from your eyes to your lips, “Shut up,” Pressing his lips to yours softly.
“I want to tell you,” Marcus pulls away, “And you can kick me out of your room, say I’m no good or anything but I can’t stop thinking about you..”
Marcus runs his hand through his hair, “It’s all you, my mind keeps me awake thinking of you, I can’t get enough of-“ You cut him off by kissing his lips full of passion as you see what he is trying to say.
“Of you, Pretty girl,”
“I can’t stop thinking about you, either,” You go back in for another soft kiss on his lips.
“I want you to be my girlfriend,” Marcus closes his eyes, you feel him getting nervous.
“Are you sure?” You take his hand, softly rubbing it.
“Yes, will you be my girlfriend?” Marcus plays with your fingers, waiting for your answer even if it is 0.2seconds.
“Yes, Marcus,” As soon as you said those words Marcus lips were on yours.
“You have a beautiful smile,” Marcus boops your nose, giggling, “You have got a beautiful giggle,” You tease, smiling.
“Marcus,” You gasp giggling as you feel his hands tickling you, “No,” You laugh, trying to tickle him back as you crawl off of the bed.
“Pretty girl come back I want to tickle you more,” He manages to get hold of you, lifting you up on the bed again as you laugh together.
“God I fucking love you,” Marcus let’s out as he pins you playfully to the bed, the laughter dyes down when the Realisation hits the both of you.
“Wait, you love me?” You question.
“Fuck, I’m such an idiot,” Marcus gets up to walk out of your door.
“Marcus?” You furrow your eyebrows, following him. You hope that your mom and brother haven’t come back, this would be very bad.
Marcus locks the door to the bathroom, spraying his face with water as he reminds himself that he Potentially fucked things up.
Asking you to be your girlfriend is one thing but saying that he loves you is another.
“Marcus, it’s ok,” You sigh against the door, releasing that he locked it, “Don’t be ashamed that you said Love you,”
Marcus opens the door, “Why?” He tilts his head intrigued, staring intensely at you, “It is a dumb thing to say when my feelings are on the line,”
“I’ll tell you if you come out, stand in front of me and not hiding behind the door,” You Clarify, seeing half of his face shift unsettling, “Mar, I know you're scared but can you please let me explain,”
Marcus moves into the hallway with you, letting you take his hand.
“It is not dumb, you shouldn’t be ashamed either because I love when you tell me your feelings,” You say sincerely, rubbing his hands again for comfort, his orbs boring into every word you say out of your mouth.
“Saying what you just said, I love you so much too you Idiot,” You smile, feeling Marcus relax but still confused as he processes the whole situation.
“You?” He points to you, you nod, “Love me?” You giggle as he points to himself.
“Yes, how is that so hard to believe?” You furrow your eyebrows, you are full of love towards this boy that you are so gratefully blessed with everyday.
You understand that he went through a lot since the past few months, it’s hitting hard. Maybe he doesn’t believe that a broken person can be loved, you are a broken person too.. So how can he love you?
However, you believe in this guy because not only he held and showed you great adventures of taking your mind off such things.. but he does it with pure love and passion. Even if he doesn't realise that he is capable of having those traits, you know.
“I do believe you, I just thought..” Marcus takes a pause, looking at you while he takes your hair to play with it, “I thought that I won’t be loved back, it will destroy me.. better to stay away from a real relationship than getting your heart broken,”
“Why didn’t you think you was going to be loved back?” You pressed him gently, Marcus knew you care, knew you loved him. You won’t be able to help any further if you don’t know the truth.
“Because I’m broken..” Marcus, let’s out your predicted guess.
“I see who you truly are.. Marcus.. every single day, how can I not love you?” You reassure him, “You are a real spark to a flame,match sticks to the fire, you glow!” You take his toned jawline into your hands giving him an unexpected well deserved passion kiss onto his lips.
“I know people think you can fix a person but you can’t, I’m not going to be sorry that I can’t fix you, Marcus but,” You kiss his cheek to reassure him, “I can help you get through said things such as be here to take care and the time to support you, love you unconditionally and to ease every step you take,”
“And that is why I love you, Y/N.. you” Marus picks you up, spinning you around as you squeal his name.
Going back to your room, you're glad that you sorted things out without your family coming into the house to watch. Explaining things is so hard.
Marcus held you in his arms, drawing soft small patterns on your arm.
“Thank you for being patient,” he hums, smelling your scent from your hair.
“Always,”
“Your hair,” he sniffs again, “Smells really good,”
“Why are you smelling my hair?” You laugh, snoozing into him more.
“What can’t I smell my girlfriend now?” Marcus raises his eyebrow, smiling just as much.
“Idiot
“Your idiot,”
“I suppose so,” You agree, shifting under the covers to get comfortable once more, you are like a starfish In bed.
Doubting Marcus actually knows that..
“I should get back but I’m not going to,” Marcus closes his eyes, “Your too comfy,”
“Oh.. I see how it is!” You playfully tut, “Using me for comfort now, are we?” You giggle.
“No at all,” Marcus shook his head, “I’m using you as a pillow,” he sticks his tongue out as he corrects you.
“My, my.. you have a lot of guts.. sir,”
“Not as much as you,” Marcus kisses you gently, letting out a cute yawn as he falls back onto his back.
“You should get back, I don’t want you getting in trouble,” You run your fingers through his hair.
“I know but I want to actually sleep with you, I’ll deal with the consequences later,” Marcus clings onto you under the covers, letting himself drift off to sleep as you except the fact you can’t not let him stay.
You close your eyes, snuggling closer, “Goodnight,” You kiss his forehead.
“Mm, Goodnight,” Marcus smiles, kissing your forehead before closing his eyes again smiling.

SGU Week Day 4 (oh are we still doing this): Favorite shi
Eli and Ginn were precious, and it's criminal that we didn't get more of them. C r i m i n a l . To say nothing of that double-fridging (that they did twice... ffs).
I like to think that Ginn would be all in for going to earth, and she eventually gets her wish after her file is removed from quarantine (with a sweet clone body grown from DNA harvested from her old clothes, which were initially saved to be backup clothing for some of the ladies on board Destiny, but later saved for cloning purposes [yes I'm aware this means her body would have been buried in some state of undress, but it was off camera anyway so it's fiiiiiiiine]).
Y'all say what y'all like about Family Guy, but the cutaways have tons of cultural references (I am frequently "Peter Griffin Explains the Joke when I watch with my husband). My thought is that Eli shows Ginn episodes of Family Guy to teach her about earth, which you can imagine leads to some pretty ridiculous misunderstandings.
Please do not enjoy this excerpt from The Eli Wallace Guide to Getting a Cute and Smart 3D Girlfriend
A while back, whilst hunting for meme fodder, I found a mean article written back around when SGU was airing. The gist of it was basically that Ginn was too "pretty" for Eli, and that a "schlubby" guy like him didn't deserve to be with someone conventionally attractive. Idk, maybe I'm old, but I think they're around the same level of cuteness. Also, bear in mind that in the past, having some extra weight was considered a sign of wealth and a positive trait. Eli's body type could easily be a selling point for Ginn, who is apparently interested enough in leaving the Space Cartel that she's willing to risk her life for it. To her, Eli is sweet, smart, cute, and her ticket to a life so cushy that luxuries she can't even imagine are considered commonplace. He's the entire package. 🧡
Look, I'm not creative. This is verbatim from Family Guy, but it's funny as hell, so it's going in the post.
This is Vital Information, mainly because Eli is definitely dragging her to a comic con at the first opportunity. God, imagine being an alien and going to a con, and it looks no different from that trading post you used to go to every month
Gotta learn about Halloween, AKA the best holiday! I do wonder what kind of holiday celebrations they might try to have on the Destiny in some hypothetical future where they can get supplies from earth, especially with all those Lucian Alliance members from various other planets. Obviously not something worth showing in a show that was mainly focused on survival, but it's a fun idea for fics.
And yes, at this point, Family Guy is the only TV show Ginn knows, except for the ones they mention on the show.
Please enjoy the references to Mean Girls and Parks & Rec.
Apparently raisins are a universal constant, too, which is good because I love them and will tolerate no raisin-slander on my page
"Shut up, Eli, you don't have a band." Fr tho "Spaceship Full of Bees" is an awesome band name
This is actually one of the shorter "episodes" I've done, in which Dale gets the bright idea to keep bees on a spaceship. I looked it up, and you can't keep honeybees inside, not even in a greenhouse, because they need more space than that to roam around. Maybe they could genetically engineer some that are suitable for pollinating weird space plants on a starship. No way will that hilariously backfire. Ginn is clearly familiar with the steroid bees, so she will probably think they're normal.
Dale's other idea is to get chickens. Maybe they can get some domestic space quail instead. They're smaller.
"So after we finished Family Guy, we watched some of The Cleveland Show. Then, when I took her to the zoo, she threw a beer into the bear enclosure, and that's how we both got lifetime bans from The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo."
But yeah imagine learning all this random pop culture info from some raunchy cartoon so you can fit in on an alien planet, but no one bothers telling you that the second-most common pet on that planet can't talk. Good luck to everyone when Ginn meets a parrot...
