This is absolutely wonderful. I didn't think my prompt would get filled at all, let alone filled so thoroughly and with such wonderful characterization. You kind of get a sense of Eduardo's resignation in this, that he's angry at Mark but he knows caring about him isn't something he can stop doing. Oh, but it's okay because MAAAAAARK. Mark just wants him around when he doesn't have all this baggage of bad history weighing him down. He's so open in his Mark-like way when he doesn't remember how things happened. And then real!Mark comes back with all his walls and defensiveness and assholery, but there's: Mark shoves the phone in his sweatshirt pocket. “It’s just a phone. It doesn’t mean anything.” His face is flushed red and he refuses to look at Eduardo. “I just- I haven’t gotten rid of it.”
and you know that he's still pining too. I love the ending so much. This is so great, thank you for writing this. *adds to memories*

That bears repeating: OH MY GOD.
