starter for: @levibecker
location: masquerade ball, just after the dates were announced
When Leyla had forced Marco to sign up as a date for the raffle, a part of him had hoped that maybe Cali had bought a ticket and that maybe, just maybe, the two of them would get paired up. Hell, who was he kidding? It was the only thing that had kept him from withdrawing his name from the raffle list. Despite how much of a knife to the gut their last interaction had been for him, he still couldn't help holding out hope, looking for any opportunity to spend more time with her. He was pathetic, a lost cause when it came to Cali Cabrera.
However, the raffle gods were not working in his favor tonight. As the MC announced who Cali was paired up with, Marco's shoulders slumped in disappointment. But hey, at least it was Levi she'd be spending the evening with. Marco knew his friend wouldn't screw him over. Glancing around the crowd, he couldn't help but look for Cali. Instead, his eyes fell upon Levi, the man of the hour, and with a smirk, Marco approached him. Shaking his head, with what he hoped was a seriously pissed off looking expression, Marco scanned his friend from head to toe. "All I'm sayin' is you better keep your hands to yourself, hermano."
Keeping the stern expression on his face was harder than he thought it would be, but he managed to keep it there for a few minutes before finally caving and a goofy grin took over his features. "Nah, man I'm just messing with you." he reached forward to slap Levi on the shoulder.
