Markell Wittke

Max blew a raspberry on Mark’s cheek. “Ja, I know. You are a silly man. But, I suppose we are stuck wizh each ozhah.”

"I guess we are. But still... You don't have to to be with me."

“Why are you so upset? You are getting your movie date, ja?” Max looked honestly confused. “What is wrong?”

“Oh its nothing. Don’t worry about it.”

“Tell me?” He put his forehead on Mark’s. “Tell. Me.”

"Tell you what?" He huffed, looking away "I love you That's all."

“Why are you so upset? You are getting your movie date, ja?” Max looked honestly confused. “What is wrong?”

"Oh its nothing. Don't worry about it."

“Zhat is so… sappy. Also, zhis is how you get germs.” He shuddered delicately. “We are supposed to be less obvious, Markell. Not… openly gooey.”

“So! Who is going to care that much Max! No one! I have been with many male mortals over the centuries and not one of them had been killed for being with me.”

“I am not worried for being killed. I face dying everyday. I am worried for being outed and treated like I am insane. I have enough stigma being Jewish and also German. I cannot add homosexual to zhe list.” He shook his head. “I will not be open in public.”

“I’m a German and French, Spaniard. Who was alive during the black plague, the French revolution and most of all I am a vampire! I am not liked either!”

“But no one knows you are a vampire, Markell. You are just some weird giant man wizh no tan to zhem. I… ugh, I cannot talk to you about zhis. We will go out as two friends and see where zhat goes.” With a sigh, he turned to the fridge to pour himself a glass of apple juice.

“Fine! Just. Friends.” He huffed loudly, crossing his arms and watching him.

Max put his glass down on the counter, then went to kiss Mark on the cheek. “It is difficult, I know, but we will manage somehow.”

He sighed, looking a bit upset "fine... If you say so."

“Zhat is so… sappy. Also, zhis is how you get germs.” He shuddered delicately. “We are supposed to be less obvious, Markell. Not… openly gooey.”

“Separate pancakes. Why would we share pancakes? Zhere is not enough for two on one plate.” He shook his head slightly. “…Why are you making zhat face?” 

“Because that’s what dates do. It’ll just be you order pancakes and I will steal one from your plate. Then we are sharing.”

“…People eat from zhe same plate on dates? Ewwwwww.” 

"Why are you grossed out?"

“Separate pancakes. Why would we share pancakes? Zhere is not enough for two on one plate.” He shook his head slightly. “…Why are you making zhat face?” 

"Because that's what dates do. It'll just be you order pancakes and I will steal one from your plate. Then we are sharing."

“Well, we cannot have dinner. Zhat would be too suspicious. People would see. In zhe movie, we will be in zhe dark. No one will see you making googly eyes at me.” 

“You can sit in the very front and I will sit at the back so I can desperately try to see you. Then it will not be suspicious. Unless someone sees us walk in together! They might kill us.”

“Now who is being dramatic? It is one seat away from each ozhah. Do not be so… over emotional.” Max sighed and shook his head. “Fine. We can go to a diner and sit at zhe counter and have coffees.” 

"And... And pancakes? That we can share....?" He smiled a bit, looking a bit worried

“Well, we cannot have dinner. Zhat would be too suspicious. People would see. In zhe movie, we will be in zhe dark. No one will see you making googly eyes at me.”

“Snobby? Say one zhing about me which is snobby! And you cannot take me outside on dates. Zhey would burn you at zhe stake and send me to zhe mental asylum for being a homosexual.” He folded his arms and crammed the other part of sandwich into his mouth. 

“As if I’d let them do that! We can absolutely go on dates. We just can’t kiss. Or hold hands. But we can still go on dates. People will just think we are friends having dinner. ” he shook his head and crossed his arms

“You are not very subtle. You always wish to hug and fondle me.” Max wiped his mouth on a paper towel and his frown deepened. “Fine, you may take me for a movie. But no funny business, Herr.” 

“I will hold your hand in secret. I promise. And I won’t let them take you away. Though you don’t care if I was burned at the stake.”

“I would care, which is why we cannot have a date. We will go to a movie, sit one seat apart and pretend you are my… father? Brother? Something. You will behave and no one will be burned at the stake.” 

"You want more to take you to the movies. And sit no where near you?" He huffed and crossed his arms "fine... I was stupid for asking you out on a date..."

“Snobby? Say one zhing about me which is snobby! And you cannot take me outside on dates. Zhey would burn you at zhe stake and send me to zhe mental asylum for being a homosexual.” He folded his arms and crammed the other part of sandwich into his mouth.
