Being Forgiven

Marko was in his hotel room sitting on the edge of the bed staring at the floor with a blanket around his shoulders. He just came back from that damn lake of reassurection and a shower and was truly realizing what the actual fuck he just did. He tried to seriously hurt four people he cared about, because he was being insecure about his relationship?? He had no reason to be so insecure. He knew Sammy loved him, yet when he saw him with Griff so often something in him just...snapped. Maybe Sammy's Matt Hardy obsession spreaded to him only he was obsessed with Sammy instead. He didn't know. Whatever it was, he didn't like it. His own creepy voice played in his head over and over. He never spoke like that in his life. He was embarrassed and ashamed of himself.

His thoughts were interrupted when Sammy emerged from his own shower. He was fully dressed minus shoes but his hair was still wet. "You doing ok?" He asked, sitting next to him on the bed. Marko shook his head and refused to look at Sammy. Sammy sighed and hugged his boyfriend from the side. "You know I forgive you right? There's very little things you could do to turn me away."

"I know…" Marko managed to choke out. "It's just...I'm upset at myself. I almost seriously hurt people I care about because I was insecure about us. I should've just talked to you about it and I didn't. I don't even know why I went as far as I did. I saw you with Griff so often and something just...came over me." A few stray tears fell down Marko's face. "I don't even have a reason I was so insecure. I just began to think...what if I'm not giving back enough? What if I'm not doing enough? What if I'm pushing you away into another man's arms? And before you say anything, I know all the answers to that. I know I'm making up fake scenarios. I know it's all in my head but…"

"Marko look at me." Sammy said, scooting back a bit so he could see him better. Marko looked up, more tears falling down his cheeks. "It's ok that you feel this way. There's nothing wrong with having insecurities. It's what you do with those insecurities that determines the type of person you are. While what you did was terrifying, and you should've talked to me, I did the same stuff to you for weeks. Minus the kidnapping. In a way, I got what was coming to me. I wouldn't trade you for the world or any other planet. I'm more than willing to move past this and forgive you if you're willing to talk to me more about stuff like this. If you can forgive me three times for the shit I've pulled, there's no reason for me not to do the same. You're a great friend and a fantastic boyfriend. I'll make sure you won't forget it."

Marko smiled a little and wiped his eyes. "Thanks Sam. And I can promise, you'll never see a crazy Marko like that again."

Sammy returned the smile then gently kissed Marko on the lips. Marko, feeling tired and a little drained, laid his head on Sammy's chest, to which the spanish God wrapped his arms around him. They say there in silence for a while, Marko letting out the last of his cries, until he was ready to sit up and drop the blanket from his shoulders. It was late so they decided to actually lay in the bed and watch a little TV before falling asleep.

Marko adored moments like these. Simply sitting and enjoying something as simple as a tv show with the lights off at night with the man he loved more than anyone. They were simple and small, but everything was large to Marko. Sammy even played with his hair halfway through the first episode they watched, and Marko nearly melted in his arms. He never told anyone, but when people—especially Sammy—played with his hair, he was like a dog who was being scratched in The Spot. Simply in heaven.

That was the last thing Marko remembered before he went to sleep.

The next morning everyone continued their day like last night never happened. Even Kip, Penelope, and Griff. It seemed they forgave Marko as easily as Sammy did. And damn was he lucky for that. He felt like he didn't deserve it. Man is this really how Sammy felt when he pulled that crazy Matt Hardy shit and drove Marko insane?

Either way, what was done was done and Marko spent most of the day with Sam, making sure to have some physical contact with him, whether it was hand holds or shoulder bumps.

Sammy decided to end the day with a little surprise. He was done with his aew duties first, and immediately went to run some errands, leaving Marko a note to meet him in their hotel room when he was finished. It was about half an hour later when Marko came back to the room. It was now dimly lit with green lights, Marko's favorite color, and heart chains strung on the walls. Sammy and Marko's song played on a bluetooth speaker and Sammy stood in the middle of the room, slightly dressed up. Nothing overly fancy, just a nice shirt and pants, but it did the job.

"Sam...what is this?"

"I figured you and I could end the day with a little dance. You still seemed like you could use some cheering up and proper romantic time."

"Sam….that's so sweet! You didn't have to do all this."

"But I wanted to. Anything for my fun sized boyfriend." He kissed Marko's cheek which made him giggle.

"Let me shower first. I'm gross."

"Fair enough."

After Marko's shorter than usual shower, he put on the nicest clothes he packed with him which wasn't all that nice and Sammy held his hand out to greet Marko with. Marko giggled again as he took it, being pulled in close to Sammy's chest. They had a beauty and the beast style position, their hands being held on one end while Marko's free hand rested on Sammy's shoulder and Sammy's on Marko's waist.

"You know neither of us can dance right?"

"Doesn't mean we can't try."

"Lead the way then Sam."

The two began to twirl around and dance as long as the song let them. And it really was a lot of twirling cause that's all they could do besides move side to side. It showed how little they've danced, but they enjoyed it nonetheless. When the song ended, they both stared into each others eyes with pure love before locking each other in a soft kiss. It lasted for a while, neither having the courage or will power to pull away. If Oxygen didn't get in the way, they'd still be kissing.

"That was….horrible. But in the best kind of way. Thank you Sammy. This was way too sweet of you to do."

Sammy shrugged. "What can I say? A god knows how to treat their partners."

"I can debunk that but I'll let you carry on."

"How?"

"Zeus."

"Oh right."

Marko leaned up and kissed Sammy's cheek. "Now come on, I'm tired and want out of these clothes."
