what i think an argument with mark would look like.
mark doesn’t wanna argue, but he lets you talk. not interrupting listening to you, gently rubbing your thigh because it brings him comfort even when you’re upset. yeah it may be selfish in the moment but you like it too, his touch grounds you, like a soft reassurance saying “i’m here, even when you’re mad, even when you’re upset. i’m here.” which was comforting, you two rarely argued or more so disagreed but when you did you both would give each other the silent treatment, going to different parts of the house, he’d lock himself in his studio and you’d lay on the rug in the living on the floor near the window. you’d usually be the first one to break say “dinners ready” or “you need anything from the store” but mostly you’d break the silent treatment to get him to come eat, he’d always apologize first even if he knew you were in the wrong, hell you knew you were in the wrong. but you don’t interrupt him, listening to him like he listens to you. if he says he needs reassurance, done. if he says he needs you to be more present, done. if he says he wants you two to get better at communicating so that you both won’t keep just walking away from each other, done. whatever he asks you to do, you do not even because he’s a man but because he’s your man and you know he would—does the same for you so doing something in return for him is nothing. they may seem like small things to you but these are things he’s been thinking about and the fact he was willing to communicate that with you means you both are moving in the right direction. now if he could get you to open up more about what you need from him, you’re the type to just fix things in your own way. like if he forgets to take out the trash you’d just do it instead of confronting him because you hated confrontation and didn’t wanna make it a big deal but your actions would show otherwise, how you’d mope around the house or sit at the other end of the couch when you’d usually snuggle besides him. he noticed these things even when you thought he didn’t. and god is he super patient with you.
coco’s notes .. i dunno if this is technically a argument? i’m not sure what you’d call it but this is a random thought i had and wrote it down while it was on my mind. also it’s like 3am… and i’m having BAD mark brainrot. not proofread.
