Markus And Kale Rambling (Patreon)

Since they’re best friends I think neither of them would be able to tell each other they liked each other. Kale would be in major denial and Markus wouldn’t be able to confess his feelings because he knows that if Kale doesn’t feel the same, he’d probably act weird about it. Markus ends up with lots of partners throughout high school and middle school but none of them ever stay for very long. Kale blames the people he dates, but Markus blames himself. Partly because he knows he’s in love with Kale and feels guilty when he dates other people.

Also context for the hospital picture, Kale’s had to be admitted to the hospital for suicide attempts and he’s not allowed to have visitors when he stays there, but Markus ends up breaking in to see him anyways. He also always brings snacks.
