Episode 70: Win
Marco steps out of the closet to see Elaina back on her phone, leaning on the headboard with her legs outstretched
Marco June
"Fuck it.. I can't stand this anymore..."
He slowly makes his way to his wife on the bed watching her closely as her fingers move across her phone
A few steps to almost reaching the bed, and he notices the anxious expression on his wife'd face
All the excitement he felt in his body disappeared in a second
Not wanting to worry or scare her in any way, he stops in front of the bed and looks down at her
His head hung to a side, his hair still wet
Hands in the pocket of his sweatpants, he clears his throat and opens his mouth just as a laughter could be heard
The voice of his wife echoed in their shared room
Her left hand slowly fists in front of her mouth, her eyes shut and a large smile plastered on her face
Heaving a sigh of relief Marco speaks
Marco June
What's so funny?
Finally, she notices her husband
Her head lifts up and looks at him with the happiest look on her face
Elaina Black
Oh, it's just something Levy said
Marco June
*frown* You're talking to that girl again?
Elaina Black
*chuckles* Who else would i talk to?
Marco June
*sits on the bed*
Marco June
You can talk to me
Marco June
Anything, right?
Marco reaches for her leg and strokes it softly
The crimson creeps into her cheeks and she looks away from his gaze
Marco June
Why not we talk about someone?
Marco watches closely as the color from her face fades
Her happy smile fades away and the fingers holding the phone tightens
Marco June
"She knows exactly who i'm going to ask about"
Marco June
"That goddamned Jackson Mune..."
Marco June
But if you're not comfortable with that, we could talk about something else
Elaina Black
I have nothing to say
She turns back to her phone, her eyes furrowed and hands slightly trembling
Marco faces forward, away from her and sighs
His jaw clenches, his fists tightening
Marco June
"What the fūck even happened"
Marco June
I should've never left the country
Elaina Black
*glances to him*
Marco June
Let alone your side
Marco June
Whatever happened to you happened because of me
Elaina Black
Marco, it was inevitable
Marco June
It could've been prevented had i been with you
Marco June
*scoffs* Yet even after i came back i let you go through the ridicule of my incompetence
Elaina Black
You didn't know me then-
Marco June
That's my fault
Elaina reaches for his clenched fist and strokes ut gently
She leans forward, her legs now bent
Elaina Black
What are you thinking of?
Elaina Black
Why are you saying such things?
Hus jaw clenches tighter, a tick forming
Elaina stares at his furious expression
Elaina Black
"Why is he so angry out of no where..."
Looking down she finally decides to give in to him
Elaina Black
What do you want to know?
Elaina Black
About him...?
Marco June
I want to know nothing
He further turns away from her, seemingly trying to hide his expression from her
Marco June
Why... Just why..
Marco June
..Can't you trust me....?
Her grip on his arm tightens as she stares at him
She couldn't come up with an answer
Was i supposed to trust him?
His painful expression was finally revealed to Elaina
She immediately holds his face, moving closer to him
Nervously shaking her head she utters the same words
Elaina Black
I do trust you
Elaina Black
It's not that i don't
Elaina Black
I just have my reasons...
Marco June
Reasons not to trust me
Elaina Black
*shakes her head*
Elaina Black
Reasons i can't tell you
Marco avoids her gaze, looking away from her
His eyes wondering the walls around them
She tries to forcefully turn his face towards her and yet his strength could not be overtaken
She gives up dejectedly and leans her head on his arm
Elaina Black
"This grown man is like a child when upset"
Elaina Black
*grips on his fingers*
Marco June
*Finally looks at her*
Elaina Black
I have a few things i've set my mind on doing
Elaina Black
And these 'things'.. Have nothing to do with the people around me
Elaina Black
Not even you siblings
Elaina Black
...Maybe somewhat involved
Elaina Black
But i am not going to
Elaina Black
Because these things... Only i will do
Elaina Black
Thats why i searched for Atlas
Elaina Black
Why i'm so tolerant of my father
Elaina Black
And why i don't tell these things to you
Elaina Black
If i could get these things done all by myself
Elaina Black
I could happily die
Marco June
Youre still in you twenties... *pinches his temple*
Marco June
Why are you so concerned about your death
Marco June
Youre so... Bizarre
Marco June
It's so confusing at times
Elaina Black
*lifts her head*
Elaina Black
Sorry... But i really need to do this on my own
Elaina Black
But ofcourse i will depend on you to some extent *tightens her grips on his hand*
Elaina Black
I will ask for your help when the time comes
Elaina Black
But for now... Let me do this on my own..
Marco June
*staring at her*
Marco creeps his hand around her waist and pulls her to him
Hugging her tughtly as they fall backwards on the bed
Squeezing her arms he sighs again
Marco June
I can never win against you can i....
