Slightly OOC?

Mark had always known about his... crush on you. Feelings were a taboo topic, albeit he was sure about these ones: affection, care. Love, if he had the dignity to say that. How he developed these feelings were next to no clue, but he didn't mind that much. He didn't mind how your personality made him smile (even when he didn't want to). He didn't mind how your laughs and smiles made his heart go dokie-dokie every time. Truth be told, he didn't mind anything about the idea of being in love with his friend — it was fine. The music producer was secretive enough to hide these facts.

.. Okay, there was one thing which he very much minded about being head-over-heels in love with you. You were oblivious. A bit too oblivious for his liking.

You weren't stupid; Mark knew that. You knew what boundaries were and had some good intellect. However, he never expected you to be so stupid when it came to his feelings. Friends this, friends do that. You wanted to be his friend for the rest of time. It was always “friendship”, and never anything more or less. And — in that way — he absolutely despised of having such petty feelings. Your naivety when it came to how he expressed his, rather suppressed, feelings made it hard to not get a little frustrated with you.

As... friends would do, you and Mark had chosen to spend your free time outside in the nearby park. The ice cream there was relatively delicious, and it became the norm to come here for the sake of that. Sat down together on a bench, Mark let you rant about whatever whilst his thoughts circled around one question: should he make a move? Now, it was strange; you weren't the brightest bulb at recognising platonic or romantic differences, but you were oddly good at relationship advice and noticing others' feelings.

So why did you not notice Mark's? The time to admit anything would have to come later.. especially when you're sitting there so perfectly.

Ouch.
