Welcome to Gaia! ::

News traveled faster than it really should have when it involved two things. Death and sex. So when Marcus heard that a certain life hunter had cheated on their partner, it wasn't all to surprising for him to have found out not that long after the fact. Rather what was slightly surprising was that Marcus didn't take action as soon as he heard the news. Rumors were rumors, and he did his best not to add fuel to a fire that no doubt, had some sliver of truth to it.

Sadly, in this case, the rumor was fact and Marcus had been far to optimistic about the situation.

Time spent off island was all well and good, but when he got confirmation that yes, that did happen and yes, it looked like what he'd predicted had come to pass? A promise was a promise, and a threat was a threat. Lex had done what Marcus had feared and now he'd have to carry out that nearly forgotten promise of what he'd do if Lex did what he did.

If anything, Marcus knocking on Lex's door didn't prelude much. Only that the moon hunter had no inclination to to break anything.

Open- and he was ready to give Lex a firm talking to, and hopefully, not have to punch the man repeatedly.
Once the door was slammed in his face, the plan change.
Lex was getting the 'firm discussion' AFTER Marcus pounded his face in.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Marcus was trying his best to leash the anger he'd had building on his way to the abode, he was trying to maybe, maintain some civility. Yet it failed. And when it did, it failed in a quite violent way.

Leg brought up, boot slamming into the doorknob, the metal lock was forced from the frame, swinging open the door and offering no protection from the wrath of one very angry moon hunter. "Mistake ******** one Lex."

How many more would the life hunter make in the eyes of the moon, was yet to be seen.

Marcus did more thank take a step.

He took a swing right at Lex's jaw.

Lex put up a good fight- though, to Marcus, it was still pitiful. Then again, at that point, ever fiber of Lex's being was considered pitiful to Marcus. All because-
"You couldn't keep it in your ******** pants could you?" Anger laced his words, as though seemingly tangent as they were.

Hit, Marcus finched for a moment, only to come right back, grabbing at Lex to pin him and wail on him further. Violence was desired, and even in all his rage, Marcus wasn't so dumb as to want to inflict anything permanent.

"The one ******** thing I told you to never ******** do. ONE ******** THING."

Betrayal was the worst wound Lex could have made. It would dig all the deeper with every glance, every interaction. How many months had it taken Marcus to just get Ami to accept his friendship, to understand that no matter how she thought, he cared about her, about her well being. And Lex had gone and hurt her, in the one way that would do possibly, the most and worst harm.

Marcus had promised to make Lex regret it if he ever broke Ami's heart- and Marcus was nothing if not a man of his word.
"Was she worth it Lex? Was one night worth all of it?"

"Apparently." His voice was cold in it's anger, his grip like steel in how it would not yeild, how even as Lex fought back, Marcus wasn't going to budge. Up against was wall was nothing new, and Marcus had that oh so nasty rage that blinded him to a fair extent.

Shoving Lex back, Marcus held his fists to his sides for a while as he looked down, (metaphorically at least), to Lex. "And that is supposed to make me feel sorry for you?" He countered. "Justify ripping apart trust, to tearing her down, to betraying her?" He sneered at the younger man.
"You wanted some other p***y, then you break it off. You don't ******** around with people's emotions, you don't ******** around when you're supposed to be exclusive."

And at Lex's request, Marcus swung right at him once more. "If you even gave a real s**t you wouldn't be so goddamn spineless!"

Marcus internally, wasn't sure what made him angrier- the fact Lex had cheated, or, the fact Lex didn't even care to try and make it right.

It wasn't good enough. And in a small way, Marcus knew nothing would be.

"So you wallow in self pity and regret." A grunt left him along with a slight fall, pain dulled by his anger at the situation. "You gave up on her." Lex kept making excuses, as if he had something to prove, to justify. But there wasn't. He'd been unfaithful. To Marcus, there was no excuse, and there was nothing left to do but seek redemption.

"I asked if you would do anything for her Lex. I asked if you could see a future with her and you told me yes. You asked how to stay loyal, how to be in love and all the other romantic bullshit." He backed off, feeling himself just drained. Drained of expecting anything at all.
"Love means compromise, sacrifice, and mostly? Becoming a team. She'll never be whole Lex. You shouldn't have tried to love a part of her that wasn't there. You should have loved the woman who she was." He was done. Done expecting anyone on the island to be anything but liars and hypocrites.

"Even if it wasn't meant to be Lex, you went and knowing did something that would hurt her. Out of everything, it's the one thing I thought was above you." He sighed. "But then, I've been wrong before."

He shook his head letting out a breath. He'd hoped for better. Wanted to think maybe it was just a mistake but no- hope was a fool's action here. It always was.
"Doesn't matter Lex. You ******** around, you ******** up, and now you get to know why I was such a hard a** on you when you got involved with her."

He moved to leave pausing only once out of the room to look mack and scowl once more. "You did want it Lex. You wanted to hurt her. If you can't see that than you're more of an a*****e than I gave you credit for." Marcus balled his fist, and with all the restraint he could muster, he left.
