<i>God she couldn't understand anything could she? First trying to force Dave into relationship with someone else and then this...after it happened so soon and... </i>Markus noticed droplets on his hand...and then could feel how flush his face was and it had began to become wet.  Sniffling the long time friend quickly began to wash his face.  Looking into the glass he ensured to see his face wasn't red or puffy.  Wetting his lips the man patted his face and cooled himself down before heading off to serve Gerrard.  This whole ordeal wasn't just hard on Gerard, or the family.  Markus, for the longest time, viewed Dave as more than just his best friend--they were brothers though thick and thin.  Dave was always there for him when he needed him.  He was always there for Dave when he needed help.  They were, at one point, each other's worlds.<br/><br/>Gerard needed to be his world now though.  Just until it clear he was fine and didn't need him anymore.<br/><br/>Then back to traveling.<br/><br/>Lonely nights.<br/><br/>No calls from Dave to visit now and again.<br/><br/>God.  Why couldn't he just feel sad too? Depression was better than this numbness and force of joy.  But, in all honestly thinking about Dave being so happy about the baby brought in some warmth again and Markus wasn't going to break that dream of Dave's of a happy, healthy, baby boy.<br/><br/>Entering the room there was something off, but that was quickly brushed aside as Gerard noted the fact that Markus had been upset himself.  With a red face the older male looked away shyly, clearly embarassed by his temper being pointed out.  "Sorry about that...I...<i>she </i>called and was just talking nonsense.  Sorry if I scared you." he said softly.  Rubbing his neck the man sat down tilted his head back.  Markus knew the state in which Gerard was and from this forth on he was going to be open as possible.<br/><br/>With a strong smile Markus pushed off the bed and looked over the food "I hope its okay.  I'm not use to cooking so much so if its bad please tell me." he said looking over the plate.  It was some meat, steam vegetables, and mash potatoes.  Markus knew how to cook, at point working in a restaurant but hadn't been cooking for a year as he had been traveling for work again.  So, the food itself should be very good.
