((Ugh, I have to get up at 6 am tomorrow because of a stupid exam. I'm still not looking forward even though it's supposed to be a half day. But at least my brand new phone case of Marv came in today :D

Jeez I'm becoming way too obsessed with Marv...

Summary: Taking care of Marv after the incidents from Home Alone 2

Words: 1.6k words

I figured out soon enough that my boyfriend Marv and his friend Harry had escaped during a prison riot. And I wasn't just going to let them get arrested again while I was left alone and sad like I've been for the past 9 months. So I tracked them down in New York and basically turned the entire town inside out in search of the two idiots. It was Christmas night when I found the both of them in central park, and you guessed it, with the same kid that got them arrested the first time. I knew I had to step in before Kevin tried to come up with another clever plan to get them arrested again. Marv was covered in so many different substances that I couldn't even recognize him, but knew it was him by his height and the sound of his voice. And by the looks of it, they most definitely have been through a couple of Kevin's traps already. I quickly ran down the sidewalk and underneath the bridge where I saw Harry and Marv keeping Kevin captive. "Wait!" I breathed heavily while all of them turned to look at me. "Modesta? Is that really you?" Marv stopped and smiled at me, "Yeah, but we need to get out of here." I stood next to him, "I am NOT leaving. I finally caught this kid and I ain't wasting the opportunity." Harry responded. "Oh, yeah? And end up in prison again? Look, I'm trying to help." I crossed my arms as I looked between the both of them for any kind of approval, "She's right, Harry. Besides, it's been so long since I've seen her, and I don't wanna end up in prison again." Marv let go of the fabric of Kevin's jacket while turning towards Harry. I turned towards Kevin who had a terrified look on his face. "Listen to me you little brat. You get my boyfriend arrested again and I'll have to kill you myself." I snarled at him, "But they robbed Duncan's Toy Chest-" Kevin started, "I don't fucking care." I snapped at him. Both Marv and Harry seemed shocked from my sudden switching in personality. "Let's go now before I become even more frustrated." I said. Harry sighed and let go of Kevin, "Fine." He stuffed his revolver back into his pocket. Then I led them to my car where I started the long drive back home. Although I risked missing a warm and cozy Christmas with my family just to stop these guys, I knew it was worth it. Because Marv being beside me after so long was the Christmas present I've always wanted.

One thing I definitely had to do was get Marv cleaned up, because there was no way in hell I was going to let him sleep in my bed when he was covered in that sticky substance. I stepped inside the darkness of my small cozy house, switching on the light as Harry and Marv stepped inside. But they were both immediately greeted by my one-eyed cat, Binx, who was just happy to have someone to keep him company. "To the bathroom, now." I looked up at Marv, "Anything for you, sweetheart." He smiled and nodded before walking in the direction of my bathroom. I turned towards Harry who was busy looking around my living room. "Just make yourself comfortable or something, I need to take care of Marv." I picked up Binx as I spoke, "Alright." Harry said just as I walked off to the bathroom where Marv was sitting on the toilet. "Okay, first of all." I set down Binx before closing the bathroom door. "What are you covered in?" I stood in front of him, "I honestly don't know." Marv responded. I sighed while grabbing a bath towel from nearby, then proceeding to soak it underneath the sink. "You didn't get hit in the head again, did you?" I said as I wiped off the sticky substance from his face. "I actually got hit in the head with 4 bricks." He very casually answered, but my response was to just stop everything I was doing to look at him. "You're joking." I looked up and noticed the bruise marks on his forehead, "I'm not." I heard him laugh at my reaction. "You gotta be more careful hun, you're gonna ruin your beautiful face." I continued to wipe off his face. I soaked the wet towel in the sink. "Babe." Marv spoke up, "Yeah?" I turned towards him after resting the towel on the bathroom sink.

"If you're upset about me going after that kid again, just know that I planned on going to find you once we escaped. The only reason I didn't was because Harry wouldn't let me." The look on Marv's face looked really genuine after saying that, causing my heart to melt. "You know I've been waiting months to see you again." I smiled weakly at him, "I have to. I dreamt about having you in my arms again every single night." His hand lightly grabbed onto my wrist. "Do you really mean that?" I smiled widely, "What do you mean? You know I've loved you every single second of my life. Being in prison hasn't changed that." His words almost made me tear. "Oh Marv-" I sat on his lap and hugged him tightly, ignoring the fact that now my clothes were probably ruined. Soon all the tears from Marv being gone for so long spilled out and I was crying into his shoulder within seconds. I felt his hand gently running up and down on my back. "It's okay darling, I'm here now." He whispered into my ear while holding me against him tightly. I gripped onto the fabric of his coat, "I missed you so much. I cried every night." I said in between tears, "I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere." Marv responded while embracing me tightly. I stayed in his arms for a couple minutes until I realized that he still needed to shower. "Okay, I'm sorry about that-" I leaned my head back to look at him, "Don't apologize. I've been waiting to feel you in my arms for so long." His hand laid gently on my face. My eyes gently closed and I leaned into his touch, loving the feeling of his hand on my face. "Well." I started, "I'll see if I have any of your old clothes lying around somewhere." I said. Marv smiled and nodded. Once I got up, I noticed that I probably also needed to change, since whatever sticky substance was on Marv is now covered on my clothes. When I emerged from the bathroom, Harry had already made himself comfortable on the living room couch while Binx lay sleeping nearby. I was kinda upset since he probably ruined my couch, but it's been a long day anyway, so I wasn't in the mood to start anything. "Is he giving you any trouble?" I heard Harry ask, "No, not really." I walked past him to the hallway leading to where my bedroom was.

I grabbed some of his old clothes that were buried deep in my dresser. I remember I used to wear them a lot just to remind me of him, and they still slightly smelled like him. Marv waited patiently until I appeared back in the bathroom holding a pile of clothes. "Jeez, now I have to change." I looked down at my clothes that were now ruined by whatever sticky substance Marv was covered in. "I told you that you wouldn't wanna touch me until I showered." Marv responded as he stood up from his seat on the toilet, "I know, but babe I haven't seen you in 9 months. Do you expect me to wait any longer?" I smiled up at him, "No." He smiled back and quickly gave my forehead a small kiss. Then I left and went back into my room and continued to read the novel I was reading before while I waited for Marv to finish his shower. I knew that Harry was probably going to ruin my couch by just sitting on it, but I didn't really have any clothes for him anyway. I was too caught up in my book to even notice Marv standing in the doorway of my bedroom. "Do you mind if I just-" He suddenly spoke up as he motioned towards the open space beside me. I set my book aside before answering, "Of course. You know I'd let you." Marv climbed into bed next to me, pulling me into a really tight hug the second he sat down. "Thank you so much for letting me and Harry stay at your place." He buried his face into the crook of my neck, "You're welcome." I wrapped an arm around him while my other hand ran my fingers through his damp hair. "Now I think you should get some rest." I leaned over to turn off my lamp. Then I snuggled up to Marv and fell asleep in his arms like I had done millions of times before he was arrested last year. And it sure did feel amazing to have someone holding onto me while I slept after so long, especially since it was Marv.
