Welcome to Gaia! ::

It had been a few days since he’d seen the sun hunter, and more than that, it had been a while since they had hung out. Teasing aside, he missed the older sun hunter around, but even with the lack of hanging out, he was a friend and a guy Marcus trusted. Not to mention Cass saw him as a friend. He wanted to tell him about the engagement, and ask… if he'd be there for him.

Bix was a friend, a trusted one who Marcus had started off hating, then growing fond of. He was Bix, reliable and honest. If anyone was going to make sure he could do this, Bix would. Gale was sanity, Bix was honesty, and Dakota was… Dakota. He was picking the best men to back him up on his big day. in Marcus's opinion. In any event, knocking on the trainee’s door, he hoped Bix wouldn’t punch him for asking Cass to marry him.

Nodding, Marcus didn't beat around the bush as he came out to say it. "I'm getting married to Cass."

There, it was out in the open. Unable to do much more than grin, he elaborated. "I asked her to marry me a while back and she said yes. We're having the wedding in a month um, mostly since the whole near death kind of drilled home the fact we might be able to someday. Now better than never you know? But um, I was kind of hoping...."

He blushed a bit. "That you'd be one of my groomsmen."

"Ummm."
Well s**t. Was he not approving?
"Yes? And...also yes?"

You can't just ask people where they're going to get it on Bix. RUDE

If Marcus was surprised by the line of question it didn't show as he managed to answer rather calmly. "Depends if the Dorms are cleared. Or if I can apply for a house once I clear it out. Personally, working towards the house."

He frowned. "It doesn't matter where we sleep and do our business, honestly I'd be happy just being with her."

No Bix, it was just the best yet more terrifying thing in his life. Marcus was going for the gold. Promise rings were for virgins anyway. He had the rings already and he was dead set to be married before they ended up dead okay? "You think I don't know that? I- Hell Bix, I'm working on it." Until he'd been chased out by an insanity thing, much to his personal shame.

Marcus was considering what to do in case they were back in the dorms, or, still in the bunkers. Still, "A dorm can be romantic with the right mood, as for boning... Do you really want to know My sex life with Cass? really?"

He loved you Bix, but if you liked it you should have put a ring on it, just say'n.

"I've been working at clearing out a house, no idea if I'd even get it, given still a trainee. And no. Nooo." He held his hands up in protest. "That was just....bad. A bad time. Messed with my head and ...never again. I never want to do that again."

Grabbing the hand, he gave it a tight squeeze in return. Had to man up didn't he? Marcus was determined to do right by Cass or die trying, though, if he died that would just make things worse probably.

Smiling, he finally let go after the few seconds. "Thanks. And seriously?" He rolled his own blue eyes in reply. "The only shenanigans you'll hear are the ones through the walls, but you got used to those right?" A bit of lighthearted teasing never hurt. "But in all seriousness, I love her, I don't want to hurt her. Ever."

Oh god everyone was going to lecture him about safe sex weren't they?

Giving the albino a quizical look, He sat himself down, with nary a fuss. "Okay uh...what?"

The ******** what. Looking at Bix like the guy had just gone absolutely ******** nuts, Marcus leaned back. ".....We.....don't.....the ******** Bix." Shoving him back, Marcus scowled. "Cass is- dude, even if I believed the zombie baby bullshit, we can't have them anyway, you think I haven't thought about that?"

A sad look crossed his face. "We're set to die Bix, that's no environment to have a kid in. Even if we wanted to... we couldn't. You don't have to try an bullshit me Jesus." There was a slightly hurt look to him. Deep down he wanted that, even if it could have never happened.
