A/N: Part one of a two-part Sparco story. Yes, I just said Sparco. Spinner and Marco (best of both worlds). And I will continue to say Sparco. Sparco is the most ghetto word ever (I mean ghetto in a good way). This was inspired by chapter fourteen of Enchanted, by my loverly Pretty Girl beat, firevega21. On with the slash!

Disclaimer: If you think I own Degrassi, you have obviously never seen to show. If I owned it, it would overflow with Sparco. Well, if you ignore all the Sparco is has now.

Marco is fifteen years and three hundred and sixty days old when he realizes that he's developed an obsession with Spinner's mouth. He doesn't think it's sexual, but there's something about the way he keeps seeing Spinner lean towards other people all day, whispering. He knows that they're talking about his birthday, and he knows Spinner is planning something, and he has to squash the idea that it has anything to do with Spinner's mouth.

The time that really gets to him is during lunch, when Spinner has to move so close to talk to Craig because they both know that Marco is only two feet away. Spinner has to put his hand on Craig's shoulder to steady himself, because he's leaning over an empty seat, and his lips brush Craig's ear twice. Marco opts not to leave with them, and when he finally goes to his locker, he clutches his school books in front of his lap.

Marco is fifteen years and three hundred and sixty-one days old when he notices that Spinner loves cake. He's sure that he must have noticed it, because they've been friends for two years, but it's only now that he realizes how prominent his best friend's love of cake is. After school, Ellie invites Marco to her house, and tells him he can invite Spinner, if he wants. She bought cake, and Spinner is ecstatic when he finds this out. He finishes half of it in the time it takes Marco and Ellie to eat one piece each.

Marco notices that Ellie has a tiny streak of cake frosting on her finger, and Spinner apparently does too. He stares at it for three minutes before he gives up and yanks her hand towards him. He licks the frosting right off her finger, then settles back, looking satisfied. Marco almost wants to touch the frosting again, just so Spinner will touch him.

Marco is fifteen years and three hundred and sixty-two days old when Spinner sends Ashley on a mission. Ashley sits down next to him in Media Immersion and pulls out a clipboard. She tells him that she needs some information for a survey she's taking. He agrees, and she asks him twenty five questions, all about what type of food he likes. The last one is, just as he'd expected, what his favorite kind of cake is.

Spinner looks up from across the room at the mere mention of cake, then realizes it's from Ashley's mission. Marco almost smiles, and answers chocolate, because he knows that that is Spinner's favorite. He hears Spinner utter a soft yes, and loves it that Spinner is the only person he knows who would break through a window trying to hide behind subtlety.

Marco is fifteen years and three hundred and sixty-three days old when he notices that Spinner is losing it. He carries a clipboard from class to class, stopping people in the halls to talk for ten minutes after the bell. He skips the last half of the day, then comes back before the last class to steal Craig, Jimmy, Ashley, and to get his car.

Later, when Marco comes over the study, he sees the four of them loading bags into the garage. He hopes he's not supposed to be too surprised when the inevitable party comes, but he wants to try his hardest for Spinner.

Marco is fifteen years and three hundred and sixty-four days old when Spinner skips school. He only shows up long enough to tell Marco that band practice is cancelled. He also double-checks to make sure that Marco's free the whole weekend. Marco nods, and Spinner pauses and chews on his lip for a minute. Marco stares. Spinner only stays for a minute, but he chews his lip until it's almost bleeding. He licks his lips, and Marco thinks he's about to die.

Marco is sixteen years old when it happens.

A/N: Dun dun dun! What happens? What happens when he turns sixteen? YOU DON'T KNOW. Cliffy! Review, por favor.
