Marius took his glass back with a smile and a nod, bringing it to his lips to take a sip. It was a lot to consider and a lot to take in, but he was starting to think it didn't matter. Sure, he could ask a million questions and try to figure out just what Acelin was thinking. Or he could do like he always does and just jump right in.

Giving a nod, he finally turned his eyes back up to Acelin and just smiled, setting his glass down, "Alright. So, how about a proper date then? Something nice to really get a feel for this," he leaned forward towards him, "I'm open minded, so why give it a shot, yeah?"

"Sounds perfect to me," Marius hummed thoughtfully, mulling over the arrangement. It would certainly take an adjustment, but maybe he would find it wouldn't be too much of a stress. After all, he's dated his best friend before... This certainly could go better than that.

He lingered there close for a moment, just looking over Acelin's face and expression before leaning back again, relaxing back in his seat. Testing the waters, getting a feel for how being close to him felt. He hummed a little laugh, reaching for his drink again to take a sip.

"French, huh? Don't think I've had French in some time," he smiled, shrugging a shoulder, "Here's hoping its a good find. Plus, I can wear that new shirt I bought. I've been waiting for an opportunity."

"I'm afraid that train has already left the station. You just didn't notice. Disappointing, if I'm honest."

"So... you gonna flirt with me too or-?" @stvrlyte

"Do you think so?" Marius gave a little smirk. It wasn't the one he had been thinking of, but that was a little test to see what Acelin might say. But, he liked the purplish-gray one? Marius would definitely remember that. He took another sip of his drink and gave a little acknowledging hum, "Well, I suppose we have a good reference then. But I'll be the judge of whether its good or not." A tease, as he gave a wink. He was a chef, sure, but Marius wasn't some high tier chef who could tell the difference in dishes by the slightest quality. He just liked to cook.

Marius stared down into the liquid of his glass for a moment, swirling it a bit before setting it down lightly, "I do want to ask you, Ace," he folded his hands together before looking up to him again, "How long have you felt this way? Surely it hasn't been always, right? ...think I'd feel a bit bad if it was and I never noticed," he smiled, giving a slight laugh.

Maybe it wasn't long, but a year was still a longer period of time than Marius might have expected. Or maybe thats just not what he wanted to hear. Maybe it was just that he was far more forward than that, but he couldn't imagine having those feelings and not saying anything. Some little voice in his mind told him Acelin just didn't trust him like that... But he didn't really believe it. Ace was just more reserved than that. It was cute.

"That long, huh?" Marius just kept his smile, though his eyebrow knitting together did give away that he was thinking more about it, "Suppose it must not have been easy to watch me just sleep around. Not that I mean... Well... I don't want to bring up any sour thoughts, I guess. I wasn't ever really looking for anything permanent anyway."

It was hard to think that he could really settle down, fully move on with someone else. But... The longer time went on, the more he was sure things were truly over. Maybe it was time to get on with it, really get over it.

Hollywood parties were certainly not like anything he'd ever seen before. Maybe that was just because these party goers could afford more drinks than the average house party, and heavier ones at that. Though... Marius couldn't quite remember who it was he had been partying with the night before.

Except for the one voice in the room that woke him from a black out stupor. Landon's yelling made him jolt awake, the motion of course causing the massive headache to hit in full force. Marius just groaned, laying his head back down, "Mate, will you stop yelling? Jesus..." Lying on his back he pulled the blanket over his head. Two seconds passed before he tossed it back off of himself completely, "This thing smells like piss!"

The revelation forced Marius out of the bed, despite the drums in his skull. He realized at once he was in his boxers and a shirt that he was sure wasn't his. The hotel room they were in was definitely the sort of place that charged by the hour, just cheap and in need of a deep scrub. And maybe disinfectant.

Marius just sat back down with a sigh. His gaze made its way to the couch now, finally settled on being fully conscious, and he took in the way Landon was looking at him, "What am I doing here? What are you doing here? ...and where the hell is here anyway??"

Marius took that moment, while Landon rushed himself to the bathroom, to think. To really try to remember. He had invited him along, right? He remembered being surprised Landon had said yes without any fight. Marius felt like they were really starting to bond a little, maybe really become friends. Even if his own history with that hasn't always been too good... Though, the situation they're in suggested he fucked things up again.

"Its not a game, Landon. I really don't remember as much as you'd like me to," Marius exhaled a sigh. He stood again, slower this time, and looked around the room. The bright yellow walls made it impossible to think straight. It was like it was meant to make you sick. He walked over to the window and pulled the curtain open to let in some light. When he was immediately met with a dingy looking parking lot, he just let it fall again, "Right... Couple of the others were talking about gambling in Vegas. I remember that much - I was excited, I'd never been before."

He couldn't see his clothes on the floor, which was a bad sign already. He pulled the shirt he was wearing off and threw it aside. It was too tight anyway. Miracle he managed to sleep at all with it on. Stepping back to the bed, Marius got down onto the floor to look underneath it. "Aha!" he grinned, reaching to pull his pants out. Thankfully, it felt like his phone and his wallet were still in them. He took them out and tossed them to the bed to slip the pants on.

Hearing Landon's voice made him look up again, raising an eyebrow, "Weren't you wearing one before?" as he said that, he looked down to notice one on his hand too. Cheap plastic with a painted on gem right in the center. It matched Landons', "...I have one too? I know I wasn't wearing one."

He buttoned his pants and walked over to Landon to compare the rings, "Weird. What, did we get hitched by children or something?" Marius started to laugh, but raised his gaze to meet Landon's as a memory seemed to strike him, "Oh wait - that chapel down the highway from the casino. Suppose we made it there after all. Wow." He just shook his head, not really grasping what that meant as he looked over the plastic ring.

"What the hell was in that?" Marius just laughed, "I don't mean to be a food snob, but something in there is absolutely gone sour."

There was little point in arguing further. Or rather letting Daniel fuss further. Marius had his fun, more than enough really, but that was enough. He just had to get home and get ready for his shift. He watched Daniel storm out past him, even holding the door open for him, completely unfazed as Daniel continued to berate him for all to hear. A woman walking past had to stop and step aside to avoid literally running into Daniel. She just blinked in confusion and turned her attention to Marius.

"Hate to see him go but love to watch him leave," he said with a laugh, winking at her, "Sorry about that, love. He gets cranky in the morning. And I am certainly not that desperate."

The woman just nodded slowly, giving a laugh before continuing to walk, "Right."

Marius shook his head a little and walked off on his own. He took his phone out after a few steps, scrolling through his contacts to find one person he was looking for. Calling his mother was certainly out of the question, but he at least had one friend who didn't judge him, "Hey, Lulu, you working tonight?"

"Oh, Marius - yeah, what's up? Not until later, closing tonight."

"Brilliant, listen - I need a ride. You mind picking me up?"

There was a laugh on the other side, "I'll be right there."

"Cheers, thanks."

Marius could only laugh, his smile never wavering even in the face of Daniel's bad attitude. He was used to it by then, after all the tabloids would call them an on and off couple if they ever caught wind. Even though that couldn't be further from the truth. They were just two men who hooked up now and again, and Marius liked to use that fact to tease Daniel at every available chance.

"Only for you, love," Marius hummed quietly, keeping his voice down between them as he took a sip from his glass, "Certainly doesn't make you any less of a good boy, however."

The mention of Simon made him raise an eyebrow, however. If there was one thing he, and really anyone who dared to spend even more than a minute with Daniel, knew, it was that he really hated his brother. "Why? Trying to look out for your dear brothers heart? I'm surprised at you. I knew you were a softie deep, deep down."

"Now, Danny, you should know green really isn't your color." It was interesting to him how much Daniel talked about his brother, despite hating him so much. Especially considering Simon himself didn't say nearly as much about Daniel. Even bringing him up just made the other sad. Whatever happened between them clearly affected them both differently.

But before Marius could say much else, even retort back against the bitter flirting, Daniel continued to try to insult him. Marius just pouted, playfully trying to act like he was offended or hurt by his words. Maybe the alcohol was starting to get to him a bit, the one in his hand hadn't been his first of the night after all. Or maybe he just liked to push Daniel as much as he could. If Frankie caught him he would certainly get a lecture on appearances.

"Are you ashamed of me, Danny?" Marius hummed, tilting his head to the side as he continued to pout, "Or are you just worried for me now? First your own brother... Now my reputation. I'd say you're turning into a right gentleman at that rate," he smirked as he raised his glass, drinking down the last bit that was in it, "Besides, dont you know already? Another story about my love life is just another branch on the fire. Sure, it paints me in a certain light, but, mm..." He leaned up on his tip toes to bring his face closer to Daniels, "I rather like to keep them on their toes. More that way, yeah?"

 “My brother apparently does fine on his own. Securing a movie I wanted. Attempting to schmooze with real stars.” Daniel’s turning the subject away from Marius’ failed tormenting. It IS torture to listen to some dish washer who suddenly made it big on the silver screen. Whoever dug Marius up must have been desperate. Hardly matters if he comes equipped with a Greek God aesthetic does it?

“Lucky for you I’m never good. Not really.” A bit of bitterness edged into seductive territory even for Daniel. A man who gets paid to do literal adult fare surely can pick up on someone’s witty flirtations. Rather die than give Marius any credit for it but two can play those games.

Daniel reached over to pluck that gregarious pink umbrella from Marius’ drink. “Can you reek anymore of gay? Or is it bougie bitch we’re wearing tonight? Those photographers would love to dig the dirt on your love life I assume. Fancy how fun that’d be if they noticed us.” As if the taint of p.ornography could downsize Marius Northall’s newfound career after starring as a transvestite from another planet. @stvrlyte // prev
