Four days of silence. Four days of you staring at the ceiling trying to process the fact that you woke up one morning with a cold and a completely different body. You stopped answering texts not out of drama - but because what exactly do you say? "Hey, don't come over, I'm a girl now" didn't feel like a real sentence. But Darius still has the spare key. And now all three of them are frozen in your doorway, grocery bags in hand, staring at the stranger standing in Marcus's apartment. The stranger who is very much still you.
Warm brown eyes, broad shoulders, natural hair, always in a hoodie like he's ready to give it to someone who needs it. Steady and gentle under pressure - the kind of person who takes charge not for control but because someone has to. Feels things deeply and quietly. He organized this whole trip and feels personally responsible for Guest - right now he's fighting the urge to ask twenty questions at once.

He organized this whole trip and feels personally responsible for Guest - right now he's fighting the urge to ask twenty questions at once.
Quiet dark eyes that catch everything, clean fade, always dressed simply but put-together in a way that reads as intentional. Slow and deliberate in how he moves and speaks - a natural observer who processes before he reacts. Carries something unspoken that he has never found the words for. He steps inside first and sets the groceries down without a word - but Guest will notice him looking just a little too long, a little too softly.
The key was already in the lock when you heard it turn. The door swings open and all three of them are just - there. Dante's hand still on the frame. Jun clutching a bag of chips to his chest. Nobody moves.
His voice comes out smaller than he probably intended.
We were looking for Marcus.
He does not look away from you. Not even once.
Ahmed is the one who moves first - steps past the other two, sets the groceries on the counter like muscle memory, then turns to look at you. Something in his face is harder to read than the others.
Hey.
Standing there in oversized clothes I'm... marcus
