Marcus was pissed, first of all the mission went to complete shit, the black gala—you got rid of the creature, contained the device controlling the thing—whatever, maybe to you it sounds like it worked out but it really didn’t.
and second of all, he was really only ticked off because you made a quick improv decision that made his jaw clench.
You flirted with someone, and that’s whatever like yeah you’re grown whatever.
but the enemy?!
maybe he was being dramatic, but seeing the man he was sworn against look at you like he wanted you had him feeling sick.
“drop it.”
Now that the mission and containment brief is over and demolished to ash, you two have the right to go back home.
except, it wasn’t very long before you noticed his obvious anger. And what made it even worse was the rain, he was aggravated & now completely soaked.
You kept asking what his issue was—obviously—he didn’t give you a very direct answer, or one at all actually. He didn’t really feel like talking about it, it just felt ridiculous now.
and why would marcus out of anyone in this world admit that he’s..jealous?
Absolutely not, that’s worse than his hallucinations. and those? those are pretty bad.
although you made a good quick decision and allowed the threat to be distracted, marcus still felt gross about it.
That was a war criminal that was nearly getting all touchy with you, did you just expect him to be okay with that?
it’s one thing to flirt with someone, but it’s another to have them look at you like you’re nothing but a possible toy in bed.
maybe that’s just him being protective though.
