Inko woke up looking up drowsily he saw that he was still laying on Mars lap. Mars didn't seem to notice that he had woken up yet, as he was talking to his two friends. Inko pushed himself up "Mars?" "oh you're awake! what is it?" Inko paused for a moment before continuing "umm well what time is it?" he said somewhat nervously. Mars looked at him for a moment before answering "it's 12 p.m." "f*** I still need to finish my project" Inko yelled leaping off the couch running into his room.
"does that happen often?" Sam asked curiously. "no it doesn't" Mars said quietly. "what is he majoring in anyway?" Mac asked changing the subject. "oh he's an art major" Mars said happily "he's really good at Art actually, like so good! to be honest I think the reason he has so much trouble with his assignments is because he always tries to make them perfect"
"I heard that's a problem some artists have" Sam said casually. "yeah he gets really paranoid about whether or not his art is good enough" Mars said sadly "it's a shame cuz he really is a great artist" "we really should be going now" Mac said with a sigh "it was nice seeing you Mars. hopefully we'll get to see each other again soon" he said smiling before walking out the door "yeah I guess we should be going" Sam agreed "well it was really great seeing you again" he said to Mars giving him a hug before running after Mac. "sigh" 'I should probably start making lunch for Inko' Mars thought to himself getting up off the couch and heading into the kitchen.
Inca was crouched over his desk hurriedly working on his project "uhhh it's not going to be good enough, I'm going to fail my class and my life is going to be over!!!!" Inko yelled dramatically. "hey! don't say that" Mars said opening Inko's door he walked over to Inko's desk sitting down a plate of pancakes "here you can't work on an empty stomach" Mars said giving Inko a slight smile "sigh yeah you're right" Inko said looking at Mars for a moment before standing up and giving him a hug "thank you" inko said softly. Mars could feel his heart race for a moment before it calmed itself 'this...this isn't anything.. I need to stop letting my feelings get in the way of what's most important. making sure Inko's okay'
