"You're not meant to," He leaned down and kissed his forehead lightly.

[Етеяиiту]

"Well thats too bad"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Salem just smiled and kissed Mark's lips lightly, like a sort of farewell kiss, "Come on out and get dressed."

[Етеяиiту]

He frowned and grabbed him by the arms, pulling him in"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

The action surprised him and Salem closed his eyes as he went under the water briefly. When he came back up, he glared at Mark, "What the hell? You heard what I said!"

[Етеяиiту]

"And i refuse" he said with a smirk, kissing him.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Mmph!" Salem wanted to kiss him back, wanted to just take him right there. But why complicate things? He hated all the emotions and attachments, so he /couldn't/ give into desire today. Or else it would come back to bite him on the a*s. He pushed Mark away. If calm reasoning couldn't do it, maybe anger would, "You can't refuse something like that in my home. Get out!"

[Етеяиiту]

"Oh but dear i can, i can still tell you ill worry about you, and i can say that i can help you when i know i can, if you want me gone im gone, but just now that now until the day you get back ill be here, waiting" he said before kissing him then getting out and drying off before getting dressed and leaving.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Salem let out a frustrated sound and sunk below the water. Stupid Mark and all these stupid feelings! He opened his eyes under the water and glared at nothing. The notion of letting himself drown came to mind as he stayed there, suspended in the water. It would surely get rid of all these emotions. Death would be peaceful. But then he'd hurt his family and Gon and Mark too, and that seemed unfair. Salem pouted instead, wanting to scream. Little bubbles escaped his closed mouth and floated to the surface.

[Етеяиiту]

Mark looked back at the house then put on his helmet and drove off, why had he said that, what was this feeling, wait...feeling? He didnt know that those existed within him, he was good at twisting others but him himself, no.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

TIME SKIP

He'd gotten out of the pool after a few more minutes of sulking like a child. He'd gotten Mark to leave, which was what he wanted. They hadn't had sex, which meant that Salem owed him nothing. No ties, no relationship. He'd merely been an acquaintance. He wasn't of importance. Salem was the same spoiled a*shole he had been before he met Mark. Nothing could change that.

Salem called Gon as he started packing his abundance of clothes. He flight left early the next morning, which meant everything had to be in place beforehand. He kept the phone nestled between his shoulder and ear as he threw his shirts into his bag.

[Етеяиiту]

After two rings gon answered, giggling "Maxxie stop im on the phone" he said before saying "hello" with a happy voice

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Hanging out with him had been the worst idea ever, my darling," Salem informed him grudgingly, sighing.

[Етеяиiту]

"Ohhh why?" He asked

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Because it just was!" He said, exasperated, "I told you that I don't need to have all these stupid emotions and yet you insist I do. And so does he and it drives me insane!"

[Етеяиiту]

"Oh so you two clicked i see, but you dont want to admit it because you dont want to accept what you feel" he said rolling over beneath Maxxie on the couch.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"I. Don't. Feel," Salem said slowly, trying to make him understand that, "Besides, my father is sending me to Italy for a year. It doesn't matter anyways. Mark will move on and all will be well."

[Етеяиiту]

"Oh you silly child Mark isnt the type to move on, even if its a year, and you really should take him into consideration, hes a great guy, the best i can imagine for you" he said.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Stop being stupid, Gon," He grumbled, folding his pants up neat, "A year is a long time. He could meet someone else interesting. I doubt he'd be patient enough to wait for someone who really doesn't want to be caught."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Stop being stupid, Gon," He grumbled, folding his pants up neat, "A year is a long time. He could meet someone else interesting. I doubt he'd be patient enough to wait for someone who really doesn't want to be caught. Man, I should be a spy or something. I have the attitude for it."
