"I mean, it did look pretty nice..." He manages a small smile in return though, before he leans up to press a quick kiss to Steven's forehead.... and then he's to his feet to check on the food. Maybe just to avoid the awkwardness that might slightly follow a gesture like that.

"But it's a deal. We go-- wherever we're gonna go together." That's how it should be, in Marc's opinion. He doesn't want to change it up now, or leave Steven behind. You can't divorce the voice in your head and he's not interested in even trying.
