Why this must be read:

For a kink_meme prompt: Mark has an unrequited crush on Eduardo which Eduardo decides to exploit when Mark tells him that's he is going to get left behind.

Brilliantly done - subtly written, keeping Mark in character while also vulnerable, and Eduardo in character while also manipulative. A great piece of work. The slow development of their relationship is wonderfully crafted.

And while Mark has never done the thing every self-respecting computer science major has done and stalked Queen Amidala across the campus, he always figured that Mark was just playing the long game and is waiting to woo her when he's a gazillionaire.

And really? Mark gay? With that appalling dress sense and just terrible taste in music? Eduardo's straight as an arrow and he's got more Madonna on his ipod than Mark. Who used to tease him about that…
