Marcos' Story

This page is dedicated to the story in which the player chooses to pursue Marcos after meeting him in About Me.

## Chapter 1: Flower

The protagonist was wandering around the place where he had seen the flower shop the previous time, Marcos appeared and greeted him. The main character confessed he was looking for his flower shop to buy some seeds because he had plenty of free time to grow flowers. Marcos asked if the greenhouse back in the main character’s house still worked, and James said he wasn’t sure. So Marcos suggested taking a look at it immediately, after stopping by at the flower shop to inform his aunt.

At the flower shop, Marcos introduced James to his aunt, May, as Mr. Grue’s son. She said he looked just like his father, who came to her flower shop when he was just 20 years old. They said goodbye to her, and on their way to James’s cabin, Marcos enlightened James on some things about flowers, in which they all required meticulous care, or else they’d die. James asked where Marcos was from and he revealed he came from Brazil, he had saved money to travel to his aunt and helped her out. James also asked about his tattoos, Marcos said he just picked some simple patterns because he had thought that tattoos were cool. James noticed a tattoo on his finger knuckles, which read “LOVE”, which Marcos interpreted as he would fight for the person he love, in order to not regret it if he didn’t. When they arrived to the coastal avenue near the amusement park, Marcos highlighted that many things had changed since he did not come over that neighborhood regularly, since he only worked and watched TV, and where he lived was just houses after houses without any greenery. James said he could visit him regularly since his house was surrounded by a lot of greenery and overlooked a lighthouse on the shore.

When they had arrived at James’s house, Marcos was impressed that James mowed his lawn very well, to which he answered that he spent most of his free time doing chores. Marcos also emphasized that he saw a redhaired man living there, James informed him Alex was hired to maintain the house. They went inside and Marcos said he envied James, again, that the protagonist got to live in such a romantic and peaceful environment, surrounded by the sea. James then showed him the greenhouse, and Marcos inspected it, then concluded it was good to plant some seeds, and highlighted that his aunt and James’s father had put in a lot of hard work in building that house…

After that, James invited him with some coffee, and the florist boy began to ask many small talk questions again, in which James revealed one more time that he just spent his time watching TV or playing videogames, because he did not have to care about rent. Marcos unabashedly expressed his envy for James’s laid-back life, which James found as cute as a golden retriever. Marcos said he had to go back and promised to bring him some seeds later, which he insisted as a gift from a friend. After Marcos had left, James found that Marcos barely touched his coffee, the player came to two options.

* **Throwing it away.**
* **Drinking the rest.**

Should the player choose the first option, James would tell himself that maybe Marcos did not like it and dump it away. Should the player choose the second option, James would revel from the taste of Marcos’s lips on the mug, as if it was an indirect kiss.

Later, Marcos showed up at James’s house again with a bouquet, which he said was from a guy having ordered to propose to his girlfriend, who turned it down. Marcos gave the bouquet to James and the player had two options.

* **Saying he minded being gifted with that bouquet.**
* **Saying he did not mind.**

Should the player choose the first option, James would say that the bouquet might mean bad luck because the guy had failed, Marcos would be visibly upset and demand James to throw it away even if the main character said he could put them in a vase. Should the player choose the second option, James would express his love for the grower’s devotion, which impressed the florist man.

James then asked about the flower seedlings, which Marcos answered that would take several days to be ready. The protagonist then invited the florist man who dinner, and he had to say yes after declining it, saying that he could buy something to eat on his way home. Then, Marcos was impressed by how good of a cook James was, since he could not cook in his tiny apartment and he only occasionally ate with his aunt, the rest of the time he just ate ready-to-eat food, thought he picked salads to keep his healthy. James asked about his family, and though Marcos seemed emotional at first, he revealed his story in which he lived with his parents and younger brother in a small and financially struggling household. Since he did not have a degree in higher education, he had to work many jobs to save up to study and support his family, and gain independence as well. One day, his aunt called him to help her out since her husband had passed away, and he accepted and he fell in love with Niall. Marcos also revealed he used to have long, black hair and the bullies in his student days would cut his hair. Marcos then asked if he could come over besides from work and James said yes. Marcos asked James to tell something about himself, with a suggestion on James’s love life. But upon seeing James flinch at the question, he suggested changing the topic.

The main character asked if Marcos had many friends, he said he knew almost everyone but he rarely had the time to nourish any friendships. Marcos revealed many people ordered flowers to deliver to Dr. Blair’s office, and Quinn would stop by every week to buy some flowers; Nick bought a lot of roses, but not to give to his someone, but to add into his bath, Baron usually bought flowers for his mom; and Alex only bought flower in August, allegedly as a birthday present for someone; Ron the teacher would receive flowers anonymously delivered from his students to his school every week; and Giles, who owned a pet shop near his house, would buy him a burger every time he ran into him after getting off from work late. After that, Marcos waved goodbye. And James reflected on his feelings for Marcos.

In the post-chapter texting section, Marcos texted James in the morning to remember to water the flower, which James teased him that he needed him to remind him every morning. Marcos did not mind but James said he was just joking. Then Marcos said the greenhouse had the automatic watering system, the irrigation hose, and he just needed to turn on the tap.

## Chapter 2: Delicacy

Not seeing Marcos for the previous two days, and upon remembering that the flower man rarely had a decent lunch, the protagonist made a bento and decided to come to the flower shop. James gave Marcos the bento, and the man was moved to tears. Marcos said his aunt was away for a few days and he was left in charge, but there was nothing difficult for him, even the customers were willing to come by and pick up the flowers themselves. As James was about to wave goodbye, Marcos insisted he stay to chat with him so that he wouldn’t feel bored.

Inside, James complimented Marcos on being very fragrant because of the flowers he worked with every day, and the flower boy complimented on James’s lavender bath bubble. They then talked about Marcos’s life, which he was grateful for but sometimes felt dull, even after four years of living in Niall; yet he declared the pay was decent. Marcos said he could not afford to be in a relationship, but he was glad to have a friend like James, then they hugged. In the evening, Marcos insisted James let him buy them dinner because James had already treated him a bento. Marcos left to buy dinner and said James could water the flower if he felt bored. The player came to Marcos’s **first minigame**. The player just needed to water the pots that required water, while reading James’s monologue about how bored and sleepy he was.

While the main character was praying no customers would walk in, Angle walked in to order some flowers for a teacher, but since James could not recommend the suitable flowers, the student left after leaving his contact info. Marcos came back with pizza and they ate. James fell asleep after that shortly. At 9, Marcos woke him up and he helped close the flower shop. Then, they went to the theater, which was the first time for Marcos in the town.

The theater was packed with people. When James asked what genre Marcos would like, he said romance movie, so James bought two tickets for a romance movie, and they shared popcorn together. The movie turned out to be a gay romance movie, and during the whole process, Marcos watched the movie attentively, barely touching his popcorn. But James noticed their hands were intertwined, and he felt some attraction to the other man.

After the movie, they went to the amusement park. James noticed Marcos drooling over the food sold there, so he asked Marcos to help himself. Marcos was shy and hesitant. The player had three options.

* **Saying “don’t reject me!”**
* **Saying “don’t reject me!!!”**
* **Saying “don’t reject me!!!!!”**

No matter what option, Marcos would go along with James. And James would compliment the florist man on how softly he spoke and how it melted him.

Then, they went to the food terrace, and seeing Marcos hesitant to pick what he actually wanted. James told Marcos to wait for him while he bought everything Marcos had laid eyes on, which cost him not very much. They settled and James told Marcos to tell him about himself. Marcos, again, talked about Giles, a friend he often met late at night, who usually bought him a burger, and owned a pet shop near his apartment. He also said back in Brazil, he used to have a boyfriend, but both of them were worried about the future, up to depression, so they ended the relationship.

After eating, James got a taxi for a shy Marcos, saying it was just a nice thing between friends. They hugged and waved goodbye.

In the post-chapter texting section, Marcos texted James to thank him for the food and the company. And James told him to get some rest.

## Chapter 3: Heartbeat

The protagonist was missing Marcos because he hadn’t been able to see him for days, so he called the florist and found out he was standing in front of his door, with a bouquet for him. James invited Marcos in and the florist said he was taking a half day off on a Saturday afternoon so that he could have a day and a half off, including his usual work-free Sunday. They chatted and planned out fun activities. Marcos said he never had a good chance to read comics so James gave him his collection and they all settled to read. The player came to Marcos’s **second minigame**. The player just needed to find pairs of matching cards to read about a story of four gods who had descended on Earth a long time ago; the first one could grant infinite wishes, the second one could travel through time; the third one could alter reality, and the fourth one could open portals to other worlds. When their business was done, they erased everyone’s memory.

After the minigame, James felt sleepy so he went into his bedroom and took a nap. Two hours later, he found Marcos lying next to him, undressed, who said he felt sleepy as well and took a nap beside him without asking, but James did not feel bothered. Marcos suggested they go for a walk on the beach, and James suggested they change their clothes, and lent Marcos a shirt of his, with some effort to persuade the florist. The main character then suggested they wear sunscreen and opened his drawer to take one. Marcos found a lube bottle and mistook it for sunscreen. The player had two options.

* **Lying it was sunscreen.**
* **Telling the truth.**

Should the player choose the first option, Marcos would apply the lube all over his hand and even say it smelled nice, much to James’s awkward, who promised he would show Marcos how to use the lube correctly later. Should the player choose the second option, Marcos would understand right away and carefully put the lube back into the drawer, but not taking his eyes off it. Then the florist got curious and the two got intimate, and then they had sex.

At the beach, Marcos confessed he never had the chance to visit the beach because he had to work on Sundays as well to support his family. The chat was suddenly interrupted by James, who suggested they get a drink. Marcos agreed and insisted James let him pay for the drinks. The player had three options.

* **Slurpee.**
* **Coke.**
* **Milkshake.**

Should the player choose the first option, Marcos would not react. Should the player choose the second option, Marcos would say it was a nice choice. Should the player choose the third option, Marcos would say he would go for a milkshake too.

After that, Marcos confessed that even though his aunt treated him like her own son, Marcos still needed to work hard to bring his family in Brazil to Niall to settle down, because it was way nicer. James felt emotional and told Marcos that he could be vulnerable with him since they were friends and they could be more intimate.

Later that night, they went to the Red Bar and saw Alex. Alex gave them some beer and chatted with them, during which the punk was upset that James never contacted him, and even said he left his underwear at James’s house. Marcos was shocked to hear this, and after shooing Alex away, the protagonist explained that Alex was maintaining his house so he left them there. James went to the toilet and walked down to see Alex with Marcos. James once again told Alex to get lost because he was on a date with Marcos. Alex was shocked to hear that, but managed to say he would treat them with beer. Marcos suggested they leave and James went along. On their way out, Alex stopped James to joke around more but the main character got angry and walked away, leaving Alex feeling upset and guilty. On their way back, Marcos told James that Alex had told the florist to back off. Marcos got emotional, even said he envied James because the protagonist got so much affection from a man like Alex, and then suggested they both part ways and go home to rest.

In the post-chapter texting section, James texted to check up on Marcos, and the other replied briefly.

## Chapter 4: Are you okay?

The protagonist stopped by the flower shop and met May, who handed the seedlings that had been delivered several days and told him that Marcos had been happy because for the past few days compared to the days in the past where he had just worked his butt off. May thanked James for being Marcos’s friend, and told him that the florist boy had been moody recently so she told him to take a few sick days. May gave the main character Marcos’s address so that James could pay him a visit.

The main character found Marcos’s apartment and met him, who said he was just a little tired. James found the apartment simple but nice, and then handed Marcos his lunch he bought from the fast-food store next to the flower shop, which Marcos recognized right away. James brought up the seedlings and Marcos told him he must have forgotten them. Then when James tried to bring up the things with Alex on the night earlier, Marcos made some effort to avoid the subject, but also asked if Alex was pursuing James, to which James answered no. Marcos then offered him some coffee but James declined. The player had two options.

* **Leaving.**
* **Telling Marcos how he felt.**

Should the player choose the first option, James would convince himself that he had misunderstood Marcos’s intentions, and leave. He would then later find out that Marcos had left Niall and gone back to live with his parents in Brazil, despite May’s effort to stop him. James would also beat the crap out of Alex for the things he had said to Marcos. The player had successfully unlocked Marcos’s **bad ending**.

Should the player choose the second option, James would tell Marcos straight away that he liked him, the Marcos would say he feel the same, but he chose to stay away because he felt undeserving. James would ask if it was what Alex told him, but Marcos would deny it. James would then tell Marcos to stop belittling himself. Marcos would then find the courage to get intimate with James, and the two would have sex.

After the intercourse, Marcos officially asked James out on a date, at Alex’s bar. Marcos confidently walked up to Alex to revenge him, showing him that he and James had become a couple. James did not like the pained expression on Alex, and told Marcos how he felt, and the florist man agreed. Later when they were drinking, Alex then came to apologize for taunting Marcos in the past, but both James and Marcos told him to let it go. Marcos also asked James out on a date at the upcoming music festival at the farm, and James agreed. They later talked about sports and sex, then decided to leave. On their way out, they met Alex, who politely asked if they needed a taxi.

On their way back, Marcos thanked James for spending time with him, and James led him back to his cabin. They cuddled in bed and chatted, Marcos said their parents had found jobs and his brother was in college. He confessed feeling depressed and anxious, but thanks to James, he had gradually felt better. Then they had sex.

In the post-chapter texting section, Marcos texted James to apologize for leaving for work so early, and informed him that he had taken a sandwich from the fridge. James said it was okay and Marcos asked if he could come over again that night, and James said yes.

## Chapter 5: Concerts

Marcos and the protagonist wanted to go to a music festival at the farm, so they had to hitchhike. After waiting for so long, they luckily got Baron’s attention. They climbed in and there was Quinn as well, so they chatted. Marcos said he knew the other two because Baron would order flowers for Mother’s Day and Quinn would buy flowers every week so that his house would smell nice, Quinn also confirmed that Baron had snuck into his house once and thought he was a buglar. Quinn also got quite upset that Marcos and James, who had been dating, had forgotten to visit his hot dog truck while the two had been at the amusement park. During the conversation, Baron, after hearing from Marcos that James was great in bed, suggested James have sex with him as well. And Marcos got jealous.

They arrived at the festival, and to Marcos’s idea, the split in pairs. Marcos and James met Gene, and learned that the farmer had lent his wheat field for the concert. Gene was visibly upset to learn that Marcos was James’s boyfriend, and departed to find Baron.

Then Nick appeared, and informed them that he was with his sister and his nephew. He said he knew Marcos because his sister would have him order flowers. The jock got upset as well to learn that James was dating Marcos, and also upset at James not contacting him for a long time. After Nick said goodbye, Marcos noted that every guy they met got visibly upset that they were dating. And James just guessed they were envious of them.

The concert starts, the main character and the florist found a spot. They saw Gene, Baron, and Quinn together. Marcos informed that they could have been a throuple, but James was non-judgmental and suggested they should bless them. Then the player came to Marcos’s **third minigame**. The player had to use the arrow keys and the space bar in correspond with a convey ball of orders and the player had to press the right key at the right time.

After the minigame, the concert ended. They caught up with the other three men. Baron liked the concert but Gene found it average. Quinn said Baron and Gene had been busy making out so he spend his time eating the snacks instead. Baron announced he would stay the night at Gene’s, but Quinn had to come back to make dinner for his sister. So Quinn would drive Baron’s truck back. On their drive back, Quinn informed them that Baron and Gene were just FWBs, not a couple. The bear also announced that he did not enjoy sleeping around with anyone, he preferred having sex with the person he loved. Marcos and James agreed.

Inside, Marcos slumped onto the couch, and suggested they give each other a massage. So they took off their clothes to do it. And James complimented on Marcos’s sexy underwear. The florist said he had bought them at the underwear store near the flower shop, and James said he bought his there as well. Then they had sex.

In bed, Marcos told James he had met Giles earlier. The athlete asked him to join his brother and his mom to the concert but Marcos declined. Marcos also said he met a man with curly red hair, who was as big as Baron, but dressed in army clothing and with a bandaged arm. James said it was Albert, and Marcos informed him Albert gave him some good stuff from the forest in exchange of a flower order to Dr. Blair. Marcos said Albert wanted lilies but they were out, so he went with red roses instead. Then they went to sleep.

In the post-chapter texting section, James texted Marcos because he had gone to the flower shop but not found his boyfriend. Marcos texted back that he had to deliver flowers ordered by patients to Blair’s clinic. James said he bought some good food. And Marcos asked his boyfriend to save some for him.

## Chapter 6: Iron box

One morning, the protagonist noticed some of his seedlings wilted while the rest in the greenhouse were thriving very well, so he decided to ask for Marcos’s help. He went to the flower shop and met Marcos and May. May told Marcos to go check the plants for James. Marcos inspected and agreed that it was not because of James’s negligence toward the flowers, so he suspected there was some iron underneath. So the decided to dig it up. The player came to Marcos’s **fourth minigame**. The player had to click on squares of dirt on a board until a metal box was revealed. Click on the metal box to finish the game.

After the game, James and Marcos invested the box, and found a lot of jewellery. The main character reveled, and told Marcos that he could trade all the jewellery for money and give it to Marcos to help the florist bring his parents to America with him. Marcos disagreed, because he was afraid that his whole family would not accept that he was gay. So they decided to keep it low in the mean time. Then Marcos had to be back at the store.

Later that night, James went to the flower store to pick up Marcos for a date. But when they were being lovey-dovey, May stood behind them and saw everything. She said she had suspected their relationship a long time before, and she was pleased with that, only a little angry that Marcos did not tell her earlier. She told both of the men to sleep on the situation because they did not know how to explain their relationship to Marcos’s father. So they went home.

In the bed, Marcos confessed his confusion and fear to James, and also revealed that his mother knew that he was gay. James switched the topic to sex to liven things up, and asked why no one had wanted to have sex with a gentle man like Marcos. The florist confessed he had had sex with Giles once. They were hanging out for a burger and then it rained, so both of them had to run into Giles’s pet store, and since both of their clothes were wet, they took them off and had an attraction, so they had sex. After the story, James and Marcos had sex.

After their intercourse, Marcos told James that Albert went to his store to find flower seeds, which was odd. And Dr. Blair was passing by at the same time, so Marcos called out to him. He went in and met Albert, and the two were lovestruck, as if time had stopped moving. Then Albert stormed out of the store and Blair asked if it was Albert who sent him red roses the last time, Marcos told the truth. James and Marcos both agreed that they would make a lovely couple. Then Marcos told him about one of James’s comics, with a black cover with a bloody rose, which had a sad ending. James told him he would burn it because he hated romance with sad endings. And they went to sleep.

In the post-chapter texting section, Marcos texted James to let him know he had left because he had not wanted to wake James up, and promised to make dinner later.

## Chapter 7: Face it all

The protagonist stopped by the flower shop one day to meet May, who informed him that Marcos was on the phone, talking to his mother about his sexuality. Marcos confessed that he still worried every day about his father knowing that he was gay, but he made a decision that he needed to tell his dad the truth. James supported him and promised to always be by his side.

The next day, the main character stopped by again to deliver some dishes as lunch to Marcos, but May told him that Marcos had been back to Brazil, to supposedly confess to his father. May told James to not be disappointed, but to pray for his boyfriend. So, James went home and could not contact Marcos, and neither could May.

5 days later, the doorbell rang one night, and James opened to see Marcos. The player had two options.

* **Giving him a slap.**
* **Embracing him.**

Should the player choose the first option, James would slap Marcos on the arm but allow him to go inside anyway. Should the player choose the second option, James would hug Marcos very tightly, almost squeezing him, and then let him in.

The protagonist noticed some wounds on his boyfriend’s body, and asked what had happened. Marcos beat around the bush for a few times before confessing that his father had beaten him up. Although shocked, after learning that Marcos had not eaten anything and had run all the way to his cabin as soon as he arrived, James told his boyfriend to take a shower and have dinner. In the bedroom, after beating around the bush a few more times, Marcos confessed to James that his father had beaten him up badly with a belt. Marcos had had to stay at a hotel until his mother called and told him to come back. At the silent dinner table, his father had apologized and Marcos had shown him pictures of himself with James and aunt May, and they had all burst into tears. Marcos’s father agreed to accept Marcos as a gay man with James being his boyfriend, but with one condition that Marcos could never come back home.

After the confession, the two men changed the topic back to their relationship, in which Marcos said he had been very worried that James would be mad at him. James revealed that he had been. Then they had sex.

The next day, May confronted James about not telling her that Marcos had been beaten up by his father, she had to learn about it from Marcos’s mother. James apologized and then Marcos showed up. May said Marcos would stop working at the flower shop, shocking both men. She then stated she had bought another place near the amusement park, near James’s cabin as well, and Marcos would be the manager over there. James stumbled over the fact that May was very rich, and wondered why she had never lent Marcos’s parents money. The player had two options.

* **Asking May about it.**
* **Saying nothing.**

Should the player choose the first option, May would reveal that Marcos’s uncle, who was her husband, had stolen some diamonds and jewels from his father who worked in the jewellery, to help May’s sister, who was Marcos’s mother, but then had hid them away in an iron box. Marcos’s uncle had only remembered about the box on his dying bed, and never got to reveal where it was hidden to May. It dawned on both Marcos and James, and they gave the box they had found to May. She then decided they would travel back to Brazil to help Marcos’s family and talk to his father about Marcos’s relationship. Then a few months later, the new flower shop opened and Marcos became the manager. James would help out in the afternoon when he got time, and even helped with the marketing.

Should the player choose the second option, May would ask James to run an errand for her, sending a bouquet to the bar by the coast. James looked at the info and saw that it was sent by Benson, to Alex. Then a few months later, the new flower shop opened and Marcos became the manager. James would help out in the afternoon when he got time, and even helped with the marketing. They finally saved enough money to go back to Brazil and help Marcos’s parents open a restaurant.

In the post-chapter texting section, Marcos texted James to say that he had to leave early for work, and James asked whether he had put the flowers in the house, to which Marcos agreed.

## First special date: Is that okay?

After hanging out together, Marcos expressed his gratitude to James and asked to hug him. But then, even when they had parted in different directions, Marcos called out to James to ask about the seedlings, and then agreed to come over immediately to help James with his plants. After everything was done, it was late, and James asked Marcos to stay the night.

After taking the shower, they shared James’s bed. The main character said that the florist could hold him whenever he felt cold, so Marcos held him, and asked James to hold him back. In the heat of the awkward moment, they had sex.

## Second special date: Dining out

Marcos showed up at James’s cabin one morning, with a basket, and suggested they go out for a picnic since May had given him a day off because all the flowers had been sold out and the new ones had not arrived. Marcos told his boyfriend he could just dress like what he was wearing, so James teased him about taking his pants off later.

They went to a spot, laid out the blanket and the food. Marcos suddenly took off his pants and James was shocked. The player had two options.

* **Telling him to NOT take off his pants.**
* **Agreeing that he should take off his pants.**

Either option, Marcos stripped to his undies with an excuse that it was too hot. Then he gave James a slice of a strawberry cake that he had made himself after learning from aunt May. James complimented him and said he should open a bakery, to which Marcos disagreed because that would be very time-consuming. James noticed a bug on Marcos’s hand and he jumped, so he fell into the picnic blanket and cake spilled over him. The player had two options.

* **Cleaning him with a paper towel.**
* **Licking him clean.**

Should the player choose the first option, James would clean Marcos with a paper towel and thank him for a wonderful picnic, and the story would end. Should the player choose the second option, Marcos would wipe the cream on his underwear to make James lick it, and then they would have sex. After sex, they would take a nap.

## Third special date: Special

Marcos stopped by James’s house while delivering some flowers nearby to give him a pair of dolls that he had bought earlier. Later that night, they had a heartfelt conversation again about their relationship and their parents. Marcos changed the subject and showed James a new sexy outfit he had bought, explaining that the dolls were actually the bonus from the outfit. Then they had sex.
