"GET OFF ME!! GET OFF! STOP IT!!" You screamed, lashing and kicking around in bed, heart pounding. You were having another nightmare.

Within moments, Mark burst into the room, and rushed over to you in a panic. "Y/N! Y/N!" He quickly realised you were dreaming so he put his hands on your shoulders. "Hey! Hey wake up, it's okay!" You began to come to, waking up and taking in your surroundings, screaming turned to crying as you sat up.

"Shhhh it's okay it was just a dream. I've got you, you're safe it's okay." Mark bought you in to a hug and held you in his arms, slowly rocking you back and forth comfortably. "I've got you..." He whispered softly. Your hands clung to his shirt as you began to settle, sobs turning to sniffles, turning to silence. You'd learned to calm yourself pretty quickly but having Mark here only made it easier to sink into reality and feel soothed. You sat there for a long time, feeling him engulf you, breathing in his fresh scent. He smelled clean, fresh out of the shower, soft and subtly floral.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" He asked softly, stroking the back of your head. Gently, you pulled away from the hug and nodded, wiping the tears from your cheeks. He smiled softly then scooted onto the bed, laying down on top of the covers. You followed and got underneath the covers and invited him in. "Are you sure?" He asked to which you nodded. He lifted up the duvet and slid underneath next to you, his heart pounding out of his chest as you shuffled closer, bodies touching. He rolled over onto his side and scooped you up closer to him and you nestled into his body feeling his breath on the back of your head.

"This is weird." You said quietly.

"Yeah." Mark replied, his voice soft and low.

"If you told me a month ago that I'd be in bed with Mark Fischbach I might've just exploded on the spot."

"And if you told me a month ago I'd be in bed with one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen I would've exploded too." Mark felt his heart race and mouth dry up as he said this, knowing it was risky to say such a thing right now, but it's how he felt.

"You think I'm beautiful?" You whispered, suddenly feeling a surge of warmth spread through your body. You were glad that you were facing away from him as you felt your cheeks get hot.

"Honestly?" Mark sighed, trying to find the words. "When I first saw you I thought you were just...breathtaking."

You began to trace your finger along the arm Mark had over you which caused goosebumps to form on the surface of his skin, his hairs standing on end. You laid there in silence for a few moments, feeling his skin underneath your fingertips and his warmth on your back.

"I think you're breathtaking." You said, squeezing marks arm lightly. He laughed a little, low and quiet.

Fuck it

You thought to yourself as you turned over to face him. He looked you deep into your eyes then down at your lips and you couldn't hold it in anymore. You closed the gap between you, connecting your lips in a soft sweet kiss as Marks hand pressed against your back, pulling you closer to him. You couldn't believe this was happening. Your heart pounded in your chest, your ears turned hot, your cheeks flushed pink, this felt so strange but oh god it felt so right.

Marks kiss deepened as he leant forward, laying you gently on the bed as he leaned over you. You kissed him back desperately, and you felt like you could do this forever. Wanting more, you circled your arms around his neck and began to quicken the kiss to which Mark kept up with your pace, beginning to breathe louder before introducing his tongue. You smiled into the kiss and reciprocated, moving your tongue with his as you breathed each other in.
