This is my entry for Sidian's fan art contest for her comic, Good Medicine. Character Jacob belong to and Marcus belongs to .

I decided to draw a scene of Marcus and Jacob meeting for the first time. I am always was curious on how they met and decided to draw the scene and write it as well. Enjoy ^^

“Hey! Are you okay?” questioned the fennec-fox. The cross-fox looked at his glass in a distance minded-state. He then looked at the fennec-fox with an in-thought expression and responded, “Just thinking about my relationship.” The fennec-fox questioned further, “What relationship?” The cross-fox sighed sadly and replied, “A relationship with me and Ivan.”

The fennec-fox pulled up a chair at the bar next to the cross-fox. “I got time to listen,” replied the fennec-fox with concern. The cross-fox sighed and then sipped his martini glass.

“I met this guy, Ivan not too long ago. He is a handsome guy and was always cheerful. We would go out to eat, watch movies together, and he would hold my hand with a smile. He would even call me to make sure I was alright, but now he has changed. It’s frightening,” said the cross-fox with a scared tone of voice.

The fennec-fox sipped his drink and looked at the scared cross-fox in the eyes. He saw the eyes of there used to be love, but now it’s lost in despair. The fennec-fox grabbed the cross-fox’s left hand in comfort and said calmly, “Maybe you should tell Ivan how you truly feel. Maybe something is bothering him and is probably scared to tell you. I know it’s hard for me to tell Reis what’s on my mind. If you talked to Ivan, he’ll open up to you.”

The cross-fox looked at the fennec-fox and saw the eyes full of courage and love for someone special. The cross-fox smiled, “You must have one special someone in your life. Reis must be one lucky guy to have someone like you.” The fennec-fox blushed and chuckled a bit.

A loud beeping sound echoed from the cross-fox’s jean front pocket. The cross-fox pulled his cell phone from his front jean pocket and he saw a text message on his cell phone. It was from Ivan.

The cross-fox left his drink on the bar table and started walking outside. The fennec-fox smiled and shouted, “Wait! I didn’t catch your name.” The cross-fox replied, “I am Jacob and what is your name?” The fennec-fox replied with a smile, “I am Marcus.”
