"No, no. Sorry. I'm just tired." It's always Steven who has to swoop in, pick him up, get him out of a bad spot. It's really not fair on him. Scrubbing his face, Marc manages a small smile and takes another sip out of his whiskey. Look, he's pacing himself. This is what progress looks like, right?
"Fish tank's heavier than it looks," Marc points out, trying to keep their conversation light, as though he's never had to put his back into anything.
"I messed up your life quite a bit. Wanna make sure I set things right." Maybe Steven will forgive him for everything one day, but he's not holding his breath. He's not always going to try and ply Steven with nice things to try and buy his favour or anything like that, but. He just wants to make him happy. And he's willing to go a few extra miles if need be.
"We can have a long hot shower before sliding into bed? Get you relaxed." They're already warm and grounded from the drink, so a hot shower is just going to have Steven crawling under the covers and melting into bed with the book on his face.
