Why this must be read:

A new one! Some of my recs have been older (as old as a fandom just over a year old can be) because as the first [livejournal.com profile] crack_van TSN reccer I have had free range, but this one is just a week old, part of the [livejournal.com profile] tsnsecretsanta exchange, and I really enjoyed it, so I've snuck in an extra rec. Shhhh.

An AU where Eduardo is a quarterback at boarding school and gets some, ahem, tuition in CS from Mark.

Lovely characterization with an appealling, and still in character Eduardo and Mark, nicely done.

“Mark,” Eduardo says, dropping his voice even lower and leaning close, close enough to feel how tense Mark is. “This is a huge game for me. It would mean a lot to me if you would grace us with your presence.”

Mark doesn’t say anything. He doesn’t say anything for long enough that Eduardo is sure that he’s made a huge misstep, said something that tears apart this fragile friendship they’ve been building. But then Mark turns back, and they’re probably too close now, but Eduardo does not even care, especially when Mark says, groaning, “Okay. I’ll go. I’ll hate it, but I’ll go.”
