from marlon!! // resting his chin on his hand a moment, marlon looks up from the piece of paper he has been scribbling on. counting resources is exhausting, he thinks.

gaze falling to arvo, a soft smile curves his lips, a warm light touching pale blue eyes. watching arvo play with rosie... well, it brings a certain amount of happiness to him, settling itself in his chest. it feels almost... domestic, he thinks: a thing marlon believed he could never have.

" y'having fun? " he asks, a teasing lilt to his words. " don't spoil rosie too much, now. "

@survdied // random asks, always accepting!

arvo had snuck upstairs while the other ex-students gathered in the courtyard on this quiet day at ericson's, everyone kind of up to their own thing, something fun. well, except marlon, who was holed up in his office as usual, working on this and that: counting resources, planning out the hunting party's new routes... that just won't do. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ well, really, he couldn't stop him. after all, it needed to get done, but still, he could at least keep him company, right? so, that's what he's doing. plus, it's a little quiet -er up here, then it is in the yard, him being easily overwhelmed sometimes. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ the sun beams through the windows, peeking through the curtains, a subtle heat against skin, carding through hair--he can't help but smile. sitting on the mattress in the office, he squeaks a dog toy for rosie, gently tossing it across the room: then, giving lots of praise once she returns it. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ arvo perks when marlon speaks up, he simply laughs a little, before leaning over and gently squishing his own freckled cheek against a very-happy rosie's. glasses now slightly crooked, and he says... 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " come now! look how cute she is, is it really 'spoiling'? and if it is, can you blame me? " 💊‏‏‎ ‎
