── .𝄞 ۫ ׅ Mark hates being alone. His childhood was filled with empty hallways and quiet afternoons locked up in his bedroom. He always felt invisible in the eyes of his father and siblings. Consequently, he's become eager to please. He tries his best to keep Rev interested and engaged with him so that he doesn't leave him, too. For some reason, he finds himself wanting Rev to notice him more than anyone else.

── .𝄞 ۫ ׅ The two often swap lunches because Rev is a picky eater. Mark is just overjoyed that they're doing "best friend" stuff.

── .𝄞 ۫ ׅ Rev is extremely averse to physical touch and isn't willing to compromise his "no touching" rule. Though, more times than he'd like to admit, he's allowed Mark to hold his hand. (It feels less personal when a limb is severed/disconnected, anyways.) He sends a hand or an arm over to "make him shut up" and waits from a distance for him to be done. The longer they're roommates, the closer he stays. (Maybe someday, he'll let Mark hold his hand for real. Attached to him.)

── .𝄞 ۫ ׅSometimes, Mark says stupid things on purpose, just in case Rev might laugh. (He insists to Sera that since Rev laughed at something stupid he said one time, he'll surely do it again.)

── .𝄞 ۫ ׅ While Mark would be classified as an "undead" of sorts, he still has a heartbeat (albeit a slow one). Rev's heart doesn't beat. He doesn't even really need to breathe, technically. But once he realized he was a revenant, all of it sort of just ... ceased. He'd never admit it, but he finds Mark's heartbeat comforting. If he rests his thumb over the veins of his wrist, it almost feels like it's his pulse, too. Like he's alive again.

── .𝄞 ۫ Rev convinced Mark to bite him once, just in case his blood may be the thing keeping him alive. (He was running out of ideas on how to die, okay?) It ended up more awkward and embarrassing than anything. Rev avoided him almost completely for over a week because he kept getting "weird feelings" when he saw him. (Nervous? Flustered?)
