Re: Marcus and Patrick
"I would truly hate to see you going Gryffindor like that. It would be such a waste of a fine mind and finer body," he smirked, kissing Patrick. Yes, it was easy.
"We made a choice, and you worked for it, but," Marcus paused, twisting his lips, "I did have to do it alone. Your father was my best friend and it wasn't that I was fucking you, but the length of time and it was right there for years. Your being there would have made it worse. I knew how it would go." If he had to qualify it, it was one of the hardest things he had ever done.
His arm stayed around Patrick's waist and he pulled him closer. "You are here now. I expected you with your wolf. I have been social enough. We could spend some time up here."
