March Madness, Day 5, Rent, Mark/Roger
Fandom: Rent
Pairing: Mark/Roger
Rating: G
Word Count: 146
Notes: Short one today.
Roger’s tired of waking up older, tired of wishing for time to stop only to wake and find that things keep changing, and friends keep leaving, and cells keep dying. He’s tired of doing the best he can only to find that his best means nothing, and mediocre will get him just as far, and in the end, the prize isn’t worth having anyway.
But every morning he wakes up beside Mark, it gets a little easier. Mark, who will stay in bed with him as long as he likes if only so that he doesn’t have to admit another day is starting, passing, ending. Mark, who is determined to find some good in each day, even when Roger is at his worst. Mark, who only allows himself to get upset in secret so that Roger never knows that the smiles are so hard to fake.
