#mercutimorte

Mercutio is in a relationship with one of the Montague dancers when she catches him hitting on another Montague dancer (who spurns his advances). The first dancer breaks up with him and starts dating a Capulet dancer, leaving Mercutio single (for a moment).

Benvolio tries to confess his love to Mercutio, who is into Tybalt and doesn't realize that Benvolio is in love with him, then feels betrayed when he sees Mercutio and Tybalt together. Morte's boyfriend, Friar Lawrence, recently dumped her to become a monk. Mercutio sees his old flame Tybalt, who he still has feelings for, but Tybalt claims not to recognize him, and he consoles himself by having a brief fling with Morte, then leaving her for Romeo. Mutually heartbroken, Benvolio and Morte get together, but it doesn't last.

Meanwhile, Romeo falls in love with Juliet, who won't kiss him after she finds out that he's in a relationship, so he dumps Mercutio. Mercutio and Tybalt get back together, and Benvolio thinks back gloomily on Mercutio's betrayal.
