Eduardo wakes up to the ringing of his phone. The alarm clock by the bed reads 2:52 am. He’s only been asleep for a couple of hours, the jet lag and time difference playing havoc with his sleep schedule. He groggily feels around on the nightstand until he locates his phone.
“Hello.”
“W- Wardo.”
Mark. Suddenly, Eduardo’s wide awake. Mark hasn’t actually called him in years. They’ve just, in the last few weeks, started tentatively emailing each other. It took a long time for Eduardo to mean the pleasant greetings he gave Mark when they crossed paths. The last few months have been much better, though, time smoothing over the rough edges of his pain. They’ve been able to talk, actually talk, for a few minutes, at least, at the various functions they’ve both attended. But now, out of the blue, Mark’s calling. Eduardo tells himself to calm down, there’s probably nothing wrong. He doesn’t remember if he let Mark know he was going to be in New York ( ... )

"are you sure?" mark asks, after the long awkward pause.
"sure about what?" dustin replies, obviously shitfaced beyond repair.
"are you sure about the buying him the airline thing?" mark repeats, sighing.
"am i sure -- AM I SURE ABOUT BUYING HIM THE AIRLINE? OF COURSE I'M SURE YOU BACKWARD, EMOTIONALLY RETARDED BILLIONAIRE YOU!" dustin laughs, grabbing mark into a full-on hug.
"goddamnit, dustin!" mark pushed his drunk vp away, trying to regain his composure and personal space. "i don't know! doesn't it seem a little over the top?"
"jesus, mark, are we still on that? yes! i'm serious! just buy him the fucking airline. it's not like it'll make a dent in your bank account, and besides? didn't you watch inception? saito bought the airline. the whole fucking airline. and everyone thought it was awesome so yeah, i think you should do it. you know ( ... )

"hello?" mark says softly into the receiver.
"mark. did you, and please, for the love of all that is good in this world say no, buy a fucking airline last night?" chris says, cooly, rage clearly hidden like the good pr person that he is. mark whimpers.
"…no?"
"fuck you mark, don't lie to me!" chris' voice climbs an octave. mark briefly considers just jumping off the roof of his house.
"but you said--"
"mark. elliot. zuckerberg."
thankfully, dustin choses this exact moment to awake. mark thanks the gods he doesn't believe in. thank you thank you thank you for not having me kill dustin when i wanted to so badly"nggghnn." dustin rolls off the sofa he fell asleep in. mark tries not to ( ... )

Sean is Mark’s friend.
It’s hard to remember sometimes, with the girls and the drugs and everything else that threatens what Mark has built, but it’s true. He has his vices, but his virtues present themselves in their way. With the Thiel investment, for instance, or the way Sean talks him up to girls without mentioning his money (and sometimes his name; Mark still likes to pretend girls might want him, not what he can do for them), or the way he’ll force Mark to leave his office and go out for a real meal every once in a while.
So when Sean says he wants to throw Mark a party for his birthday, Mark says okay. And when Mark doesn’t recognize half the people in his living room (“It’s your birthday. Besides, this way you can get fucked up and not worry about where you’re waking up in the morning.”), he shrugs because it’s not that different from any of Sean’s parties ( ... )
