Diverse friend group this. Diverse friend group that. I’m bisexual, Spud had an uncle from India, Begbie has a dangerous undiagnosed personality disorder and Sick Boy is half Italian. You can’t even hope to get on our level.

This is how @skagb0y.bsky.social and I met. www.instagram.com/reel/DQlzOoq...

// Mark and Rip @skagb0y.bsky.social

(Mark had been struggling to come up with an appropriate reply, so he was more than happy to be shut up by a kiss. Smiling, he eagerly accepted the kiss, wrapping his arms around Rip. Nothing intense or demanding, but an obvious urge to be close.)

//I think one of my favorite background jokes in Trainspotting is Mark’s friends spending over half a novel teasing him for being gay for ridiculous reasons that Mark vehemently, repeatedly denies. Just for Mark to say, the second he’s alone, that yes he is bi, but not for those stupid reasons.

(If only Rip knew how close he was to the truth. After all, how could a junkie like Mark get together enough money to fly to the states snd live without a job so far? Something definitely wasn’t adding up. Mark had left all of that out though, of course.) Love her? That ship had sailed years ago.—

I left. I didn’t say goodbye to anyone. Not my friends, not her, not even my parents. I just put a few things in place so my mom would hopefully not report me missin’, but I guess that’s still a real possibility. (He’d simply got up and left that day with nothing more than money and just enough—

Why not? Maybe it feels nice to believe in good things occasionally

Yeah? Maybe that’s why you met me. I’ll keep that in mind.

I’d rather not. It’s better when things are always smooth sailin’

I’m sure I could find a way to make you mad, but I appreciate the sentiment

❝ 𝙄 𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩'𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 . . . ❞

Very sweet of you to say

You’ve been nothin’ but good to me, if that’s any consolation.

I know it’s not me. I just want you to know I’m not like that.

At first? Yeah. When we both tried to make it work as a real romantic relationship. (She was one of the best girlfriends he’d ever had. Almost definitely the most understanding.) After we realized it wouldn’t work out and we both needed a cover story? The answers still yes, but not as a—

I was just playin’ with you! Humans aren’t evil. We might fuckin’ suck sometimes, but we’re not evil.

You look like you’re schemin’. Very mischievous.

/looked/ evil. Also different than being evil

I said you looked evil, not ugly. Two very different things

Hazel didn’t want her family and friends back home to know she was ace sexual or whatever her and her college friends called it. Her folks knew I was interested in all that shit, so we pretended to date so they would stop tellin’ her that the right dick would fix her. I didn’t have sex with her—

He looks a little evil, but I suppose that’s okay.

She just— she hated it so bad it wasn’t worth tryin’ more than a couple times. It was the right thing to do. (Mark knew more than a few people who were exactly like those in Rip’s mind. It wasn’t too much of a surprise.) Am I? Thought I was doin’ the opposite.

I like women plenty. She just didn’t like sex and I respected that. (Mark didn’t mind responding, really. For once, it felt good to have someone that he felt like he could be totally honest about those parts of himself with.) I’m sure I could serenade you with some annoyin’ Scottish classics.

I never even had her. We didn’t have sex, not once. At least while fakin’ the relationship. But I have had sex with you. (Mark reminded, seemingly trying to signal that his relationship with Rip was something different. Not pretend.) Maybe I would sing if it was just me and you.

// this is so them @skagb0y.bsky.social

We dated in school, but it just wasn’t right. When we graduated and everything went to shit for us—well, we pretended to be together. To keep everyone off our backs. (Mark couldn’t help but smile. It was a surprisingly good memory.) Maybe I will someday. No promises.

// this could make a great reaction image @skagb0y.bsky.social

//both 26 and unemployed. Oh, Mark Renton, we’re in it big time…

// Mark, your boyfriend is a bitch

I used to make mixtapes for my uh— not girlfriend. It’s complicated. (But it had been his most positive relationship, there was no doubt about that.) Sometimes, we would sing them together. Romantic songs or not. I can’t sing for shit, but she let me.

No. (Yes. He was. But thankfully he knew nowadays that that didn’t go over particularly well and it was best to just keep all of those sappy things to himself.) Only if you want me to.

// Mark texting Rip like this @skagb0y.bsky.social

I slept around on my girlfriend once and it felt like shit. I don’t like it. (It was just stressful and caused more conflicts than it prevented, as far as Mark was concerned.) It’s just more romantic to be with one person, you know? Much more personal.
