Chapter Text
Williams seen a lot of shit..
Sure Mark has gotten him in some pretty weird situations-to be fair to his friend some said situations could have been avoided if William had stuck to himself…
It doesn't matter- what he's trying to say is, the life of a hero's best friend is never quite.
So sure maybe it's on both of them for the chaotic life he lives ..despite many of the uphill battles he's faced he knows he wouldn't change a single thing.
I mean he's best friends with a superhero, crazy stuff is bound to happen!So with life he lives he thought he was immune to it all ..but even William has a limit to the amount of crazy shit he's willing to tolerate.
Like being cradled in his best friend's arms well he's drenched in blood crying his eyes out saying he misses him on his front porch-
Yeah this definitely crosses alot of fucking lines.
_______________________
It was a completely normal day..or it was until Mark turned up to his front door soaked in blood awestruck like William was some prized chicken .
William tried to speak but his efforts were thwarted as Mark jumped at him.
“William-I ..I missed you-” Mark's arms wrap around him tight and constricting as he moves his face to the crook of William's neck.Wetness seeps into the ginger's shirt as Mark continues to embrace him.
What's up with him? Did Eve break up with him ??Is he hurt…
Of Course he's on clean up duty again.
“You ok there man?” Bringing his hand up he carlessley pats his friends back in hopes to give him some comfort.The smell of metallic sinks into his nose, its aroma suffocating.
After what felt like hours of Mark hugging him at his front door he finally pulls back ..and shit that's a lot of blood.
“Lets go inside…you look like shit.” Grabbing the man's arm he drags him inside, looking around to make sure no one sees the Invincible coming inside his house before he slams it shut.
Finally he turns to look at his friend…his eyes scanning the others face- Looking at Mark's face..wait face??
“Where's your mask?? Mark!! No one saw you right??” Flailing his arms, the red head paces back and forth. “Ive done alot to keep your identity safe so no one better have seen you Mark!”
He expects a quick quip or some banter to leave his friend but instead there's only silence along with a fond smile.
“Hello?? Earth to Mark??” Waving his hands in front of the dazed man only makes the adoration on his face increase.’You're really freaking me out!should I call Eve??-”
His hand is snatched mid wave, Mark's warm palm encases his thin wrist.
“Dont”
“Okayy then..look how about you clean yourself up and I'll make you some tea?”
The other man looks dubious..clearly unwilling to let William out of his sight, but after some prompting he finally sets off into the direction of the bathroom.
This is weird..like weird weird and super gay…is this how Mark feels every time he takes him flying??Ok one thing at a time will ..
He starts warming up the water to make some herbal tea when his phone rings, pulling it out he sees the caller id ‘Mark’.
Did he drop his phone well flying?
Picking up he expects to hear a friend or a stranger…not-
“William, it's Mark, listen I don't have much time to explain but stay inside! There's mes flying around THAT AREN'T ME!”
shit...
