. shine .
Marcus did not like hospitals. They had a terrible stench that burned at his nostrils and they reeked of both death and sadness; the stiff-faced doctors and the always smiling nurses did nothing to comfort him. The panic and fear that was churning in his stomach refused to leave him alone, and he shot every nurse who came over to him with the intent of offering comfort a stony glance.

He didn't want comfort, he wanted news.

He wanted to know why he'd found Seth collapsed at the bottom of the stairs staring at his legs with a look of fear in his eyes. Until he had those answers, he was going to scare off any human who tried to distract him.

Those eyes... I've never seen him look so scared. Marcus had known Seth and his family for years and he'd never known Seth to show fear. Having to see that sparkling in those beautiful brown eyes that were usually full of such life and intensity... it made his entire being quiver with an emotion that he was a little nervous to name.

And he didn't want to lose Seth. By god, that would destroy him.

FIN.
