- I love Gavin calling Markus “Freckles” ; it’s so cute! - LOL Markus showing up at the perfect time and Gavin trying to play off his back spasm to “look cool” is sending me! This reminds me of a day in high school, I decided to wait until my crush said hi to me first. I had to blow a snot rocket out of my nose, so I snuck into my band teacher’s office to blow my nose discretely. The MOMENT I blow out the snot rocket is when he says “Hi!” to me FFS!
[ “Say antique,” Gavin said, and of course the camera caught his wince instead of his smile. Antique. In case he needed any more reminding what he was an old man in need of Icy Hot patches for his lumbago. At least he wasn’t the only antique in the booth. ] - Looool
- AAAAHHHH MARKUS KISSED GAVIN!!!
[He did not rub his mouth, like it was a baseball injury you were not allowed to touch.]
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
[ “Just shut up and smile.” At the last second he put his hand on Markus’ leg, and the camera flash caught the heat racing up his neck. ]
(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)
- Markus complimented his smile! - Nose to nose picture! Aaah this is so cute I’m gonna die! - Tina: “Bitch, when are we hanging out?” - lmao I love her!
[“Cool.” Gavin watched him stare at the books for three full seconds before he said, “Unless you prefer to hang out with us.” Markus startled and hurried upstairs. ] *WHEEZE*
- What a twist! Lmaoo Gavin’s so mad about Markus reading his Naruto manga which sets him up to think he’s about to be punished but - “You have to read it order!” - which is so true!
[Gavin got a weird Silly String feeling in his guts whenever Markus talked to him. Gross. Weird? Definitely silly.] - OOOH Gav’s got butterflies!
- A massage from Markus’ warm hands? Sounds amazing as fuck! - Oh Gavin’s massaging him back! - Markus is ticklish! This is so funny!
[Gavin spread his hands. “Don’t let my ravishing exterior fool you.” This earned another laugh from Markus, and Gavin was so grateful for it he handed over the TV remote. “You pick.”] - Hahaha I’m kicking my feet!
- Poor Markus has gaming trauma! Appreciate that you don’t offer Carl any mercy in this fic! Too many people portray him as everybody’s favorite grandpa!
Loved this chapter so much! I’m feeling the warm fuzzies!
Gavin is so silly and annoying in this fic lmao, fortunately Markus is actually Very Much Into That. They make a good team i think, they encourage each other in different but necessary ways for their different personalities :P
oh also i wanted to say re: Carl being problematic!! YEAH! i think it first really hit me when i watched a playthru of all the ways Carl responds whether you win, tie, or lose the chess game and his reaction is always the same: indulgent but still kind of annoyed?? like, what did you expect Carl?? Markus can't win!!
