Marcus, for all the s**t he gave Bix, liked to think that the sun trainee wouldn’t give him s**t for asking a question or two about their mutal friend who just happened to be more that Marcus’s friend. Cass was his girlfriend, Bix’s next door neighbor and friend. They both had her interests in mind didn’t they? Supposedly. In any event Marcus needed help and BIx was the one who could provide answers to such deep, though provoking questions. Like ‘what do you think Cass might like for Valentines?’ Yes, Marcus was the boy friend but he couldn’t just ASK her. No, he needed a bro for this- but was Bix bro enough?
A question for the ages perhaps. Still, Bix was close to Cass as a friend and might know things he didn’t. Relationships were sometimes weird like that. Knocking of the sun trainee’s door he hoped to offering would suffice to pacify the wild Bix in it’s natural habitat.

Bix's door was never really closed. It was always in some state of being open unless he was sleeping or changing. When Marcus knocked the slightly ajar door swung inwards revealing Bix just on the other side of it, sitting at his desk. He couldn't remember a single time Marcus had ever been to his dorm so the albino hunter looked a bit surprised. "Yo." His room was spotlessly clean and obsessively organized. Every book seemed to be a perfect angle, stacked from smallest to largest on his desk. His wallet from his 'former life' was tucked against the corner and there was a family photo in a frame (a new addition since christmas with his mom, dad little brother and himself). Action figures were lined up and posed on the top shelf of his bookshelf and every poster on his wall seemed to be perfectly aligned. His bed was made, his closet neat and closed, and his hamper was unassumingly closed in the corner of the room. Despite being a goof, a dork and a sometimes-klutz Bix was very OCD about his belongings. "Whats up?" It had to be a mission or prank or Cass related.

All Marcus's nerd alarms? Going off. Seriously Bix, he didn't think- well he knew but- "The hell man OCD or something?" This wasn't a usual guy's room. That and Marcus was judgmental when it came to his 'friend'. His room must have looked like a war zone in comparison, what with s**t flung around in there. Mental Note, clean his s**t up. Coming into the room, he shut to door behind him. "Bix, I need-" He could feel his face get pink god damn it. "I want-" No no, it was more than want. "I wanted to ask you-" ******** no, Bix was not getting away from him in this. "Look I need you okay?" Suddenly, a blushing Marcus was a few inches away from Bix looming over. "And I am not taking no for an answer." He'd have your help with his little problem Bix, one way or another.

When Marcus mentioned being OCD, Bix face shifted into a reddish scowl, reminiscent of the angry frustration he used to get when he saw the other man in their first few months on the island. He'd always been made fun of for various reasons and one of the main things with girls was his OCD habits. Apparently there was a thin line between being a 'neat and clean' guy and being OCD. He was 100% obsessive compulsive about his things and there was no way to change it. Suddenly his anger switched to confusion but his red face didn't disappear. What exactly was Marcus doing? What was he talking about? Then he was closer and closer and leaning over him. Bix shrunk back against his chair, eyes wide like a deer in the headlights. "What? No.. I'm not that way!! What about Cass?!" He sputtered and started waving his hands in front of his face.

Deer in headlights? More like stag in headlights, Marcus looked around the room again. It was clean and orderly. And Marcus? Marcus wanted to ******** s**t up. Rip up the posters, toss clothes on the ground, mess up the bed and desk and well- Marcus wanted to make a ******** mess. Speaking of ********... He looked back at Bix, a sly grin forming on his face. Who said he couldn't? The sun trainee was older yeah, but he was easy to manipulate. Marcus could get him right where he wanted Bix in no time, he was sure. "Not that way? The hell you talking about Bix?" He leaned in closer. "Cass is something I need help with and you are the only one who can help me right now."
His hand slid to the back of Bix's chair, keeping him from escaping. "It has to be you Bix, it can be no other. I need you, and you alone." So close now, he wondered if Bix noticed that Marcus had worn cologne and his breath was minty fresh. "I need you Bix. I need you."
And then Marcus kissed Bix, full out on the lips, trying to also slip him some tongue. ********. YES.
That was of course, all bullshit and not what happened at all.
No, the truth of the matter is that Marcus pulled away, laughing. "It's all cool. But yeah, I need you help." Arms crossed he moved off. "It's Valentines and I am s**t out of ideas on what to get her." No matter what he'd done he just had 'roses', 'chocolate', and 'unico'. And Unico was hard as ******** hell to find anything for. He'd had to settle for ordering a custom plush online.
"I need to know if you guys have talked about anything she might like. Hints, clues. I'm her boy friend and s**t just looks bad if I ask her you know? I mean she the first real not fake girl friend I've ever had and I want to make it special and what the hell Bix I'm freaking the ******** out!"
To be fair, he looked lost and highly confused. It was very much not the regular Marcus.

"Oh well if it's just help with Cass then that's-" And then WHAT?! WHAT?! Marcus was kissing him?! Bix was sure he'd said it was Cass related. There was cologne and mint mouth wash and dear god he hasn't kissed anyone, anything, in years (multiple) at this point but .. but.. NO.
Bix wasn't gay and if he was, he was sure Marcus wouldn't be his choice. Marcus was Cass's man... did CASS WANT THIS? IS THAT WHAT HE MEANT? Was she peeking through some hole in the wall going all yaoi fangirl or something?
Bix sputtered, sunk into his chair, and eventually just shoved Marcus as much as he could muster. The other man wanted to ******** s**t up? Break something? Well, he succeeded.
He broke Bix's brain.
He heard a giggle from the other side of the wall. Was that Cass? Watching and listening? Well if it was a show she wanted........Bix smirked a bit as he watched the 'boyfriend panic' set in. Thank GOD he didn't have a girlfriend right now. Buying them gifts was the worst. Unfortunately for Marcus, Bix had not talked to Cass about anything. All they'd done was go on a mission recently and confront her ghost rage. "She seems like a clothes girl." Bix leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms. "But she's not high maintenance so tees.. hoodies.. you could even get her.." He closed his eyes, not even believing that he was suggesting this to Marcus of all people, "some sort of cute underwear. Not sexy but like.. you know girly stuffed animals or anime things on them." The albino hunter idly pulled up the end of his braid and twirled it in his fingers. All of a sudden the reality of not having a girlfriend set in. He wasn't a stranger to girlfriends. He'd had a few in the past, couple of them long term, but it did get boring sitting alone night after night. He'd not say this aloud to Marcus. Never. His eyes may have looked distant for just a moment but he snapped out of it to glance back at the other man and see what he thought of the suggestions.

Panic and frantic, the two words went rather well together as Marcus began to pace. He was clueless in many ways and Bix was a resource. Sadly, he didn't know that it would be for not. "Clothes?" He looked at Bix like he'd grown a second head. "What kind? She had cute tee shirts I got her for Christmas and I don't know about the hoodies but- what?!" He balked at the one suggestion. Panties...for... Cass. The light blush suddenly turned into a full rose red. "She.... she might... but doesn't that send the wrong message?" Hey, I love you, here are panties because I want to see you in them and out of them? Really, he hadn't any idea.
"And...yeah. stuffed animal maybe. Not like a cheap bear but... I could go for something. And.." He must be an idiot. "What's anime?"

"Well you don't get her lacey lingerie or anything. I assume you've.." Bix looked at the wall. "...seen her in them. Unless you haven't..." If he hadn't then BRAVO on taking it slow to the extreme. "Girls need to buy new underwear just like guys and you know what the ones they issue here are like. Cute ones.. with coverage. Plus you give her a whole BUNCH of stuff and you throw the underwear in as if it's just part of the package, not a big deal. How about socks? Chicks love bright colored socks with like.. hello kitty on them or something." Wait. Pause. Rewind. "Did you just ask what anime is?" Bix blinked, blinked again. "C'mon! I am from the boonies and I know about anime!" All about it.. way too much. Yeah he was basically an anime fan and had only dated girls who loved anime. "Japanese animation? Like uh..." he winced at the example. "Sailor Moon? Dragonball? Gundam?"

His blushed flared up again. "I- I have but not like-" ******** you Bix, there were reasons they did stuff they way they did and not every sound you heard through the wall was them having sex! Most of the time is was just him messing with you. Most of the time. "But... underwear. I'll have to get her the good kind too..." he muttered the last part under his breath. "Um...yeah. Socks. I could do that too...and seriously what?" He gave Bix a baffled look. "No to the first two and the only 'Gundamn' s**t I know was my younger brother's weird a** robot action figures. ******** expensive and fragile as ********. Why would Cass want something like that?" Cass was more into Unico and Totoro. Which were.. japanese cartoons but- "So is Unico and totoro anime?"

"How old are you? How many girlfriends have you had?" Bix asked seriously. He might have had TERRIBLE girlfriends but he didn't blush when acknowledging that he'd seen them in their undies.. and less... and maybe even gone all the way with some of them *gaspgasp*. Suddenly the albino, who so often felt lacking while around the handsome Marcus Hasan, was feeling like he had the upper hand somehow. "You're just blushing alot..." Bix rubbed his face. "Yes Totoro is and Unico are anime. Japanese animation. Anime. I'm never sure about buying DVDs cause I haven't been able to work anything that wasn't already here... but that's always an idea too. Why would she like it?" He laughed. "The girl spent her whole life in the back of a van with nothing but the internet. If that's not a sure sign of an anime lover, I don't know what is." Bix was looking..... smug. How's it feel Marcus? How's it feel to look at SMUG!BIX ?

It felt like he was going to punch you just to get his hormones out. "I'm 19 Bix." He couldn't even face the guy, preferring to look at all the nice action figures he had. "And I ******** one girl in high school okay? The worst ******** thing and the best but ******** if she didn't play me like a damn fool. Cass is-" He was hesitant to say it. "Cass is someone I actually love who does call me 'the brother of the guy who slept his way through school' or 'the guy with the crazy gangbanger brother' or best yet, 'whoreson'" Obviously Marcus had a bit of repressed issue there. "I wasn't picked on because I could see s**t Bix, I kept that to myself. But nobody thought I was worth s**t, first girlfriend I had I though she liked me, turned out she just wanted other s**t." He sighed. "Cass... Cass doesn't care about that stuff. She like me for who I am and I want-" He grasped at the air. "I want to make her happy you know?" With a frustrated yell he shoved his face into his hand. "So, panties, socks, anime. Obviously I know jack s**t about anime. What are good ones she might like?" His face was still red. "...And please dont tell Cass I just went off on you like that. It's not something I'm proud of."

Bix just sat in silence. It dawned on him how much more experience a few years of college, living on campus, really was. It dawned on him that in some ways he was more grown up than Marcus was and that maybe Marcus and Cass's mutual immaturity made them a good pair. It also dawned on him that he knew absolutely NOTHING about Marcus as a person or his past. "Ok chill." Bix took a deep breath. "Girls are like that. Cass is awesome, yes. I have had a string of girlfriends who seemed to only want a guy who would date them and would also act as a part time butler and chauffeur. Apparently being nice means that girls take advantage." He said a little bitterly but then segued out of it. "You should know then that Cass doesn't necessarily need all that stuff to make her happy right? She just likes being with you? Why don't you cook for her or something?" Bix had tried every trick in the book over his dating years, to get laid or just have girls treat him nicer. "And I won't tell. We all have our little secrets and our stupidly affecting 'lives before the island'." Yes... he finger quoted.

Marcus, for all his bravado, was still young and rather immature. He sighed, feeling like he'd ******** up somewhere on the boyfriend ladder. "I don't what else to do Bix, like, that's what girls seem into? And dude, I could cook her something but I do not trust leaving anything out with Julie around." He was buying his cake okay. And the cookies. "But- So just.. I should be text book romantic? I thought girls hated that sort of stuff. Like they wanted special s**t?" He was so confused. "Should I just.. wing it? Ask her outright?"

"Girls may act like they don't want or need romantic gestures but unless they are some sort of militant lesbian woman's rights activist, they LOVE that stuff." Bix tapped his nose as if he knew for sure. "And Cass never had a boyfriend before. Do you want her to miss out on all the good romantic stuff?" The albino shrugged eventually. "You are stressing way too much about it. Don't buy flowers, they just die. Romantic gestures, a mix bag of little gifts, and a night alone with food and movies? She'll ******** love it." He rarely cursed but he thought the emphasis was needed.

It was in that moment Marcus realized something about Bix. He was annoying, they didn't always get along, and they gave each other s**t, but the guy would indeed, be someone Marcus could count on. Taking a deep breath, Marcus did the only thing he could think could convey his feelings of thanks and gratitude.
He hugged Bix.
Of course he let go very quickly, trying to keep his poker face up. ".....Thanks." It was a bit awkward for Marcus, but- "I mean, just- yeah. Thanks." He just sort of stood there.
"I promise to keep it to my room?"
Not the best thing to say.
