❝Taeyong's really having a baby? That's so cool!❞
Mark smiles through the phone at his boyfriend's excitement over the news about Taeyong. ❝Yeah it is.❞
❝I'm happy for him y'know? It's like his life's complete with Jaehyun now. I mean you did say Jaehyun's excited too right?❞
❝Yeah, he is...❞
❝You ok babe? You sound a little down.❞
Mark sighed through the phone as he laid down on his bed, Mark has been feeling down as Donghyuck said. He partly blames Taeyong and Jaehyun being all lovey dovey with each other over the exciting news of their baby.
He's been feeling a little sad ever since that day, and he doesn't know if it's because he's jealous of Taeyong or because...
Mark shook his head at the thought as he clears his throat, ❝I'm fine Hyuckie just... I haven't been feeling too well lately.❞
❝Oh well do you want me to come over? I can bring you something to eat if you like.❞
❝No that's fine. Don't worry, it'll pass.❞
❝Mmh ok, just as long as you're fine and you're staying out of trouble ok? I have to go to prom with my healthy boyfriend.❞
Mark could hear the smile in Donghyuck's voice and he couldn't help but smile too. ❝Don't worry your pretty little head Hyuck ok? This time I'm not getting in trouble.❞
❝Good. Oh I gotta go Markie, Johnny's calling me.❞
Mark flinched at the name but ignores it as he says a quick goodbye to Donghyuck. He hangs up as he lays his phone beside him.
He wanted to rest, he was still exhausted from going to the hospital and pretty much staying by Taeyong's side the entire time.
All he wants is sleep and right when Mark was about to close his eyes, he felt his phone vibrate beside him. Groaning, he turned over on his side as he picked up his phone.
He rubbed his eyes once he saw the name, making sure that it's who he thought was texting him.
'Johnny?'
Mark opens his phone to see the older had texted him which he thought was a little weird considering Donghyuck had told him that Johnny just called for him.
Johnny ♡
Hey baby~ ;)
Mark
Hi
I just got done talking with Donghyuck, he said you called for him?
Johnny ♡
I did
I sent him to run me an errand that will probably take him an hour
I want you to come over~
Mark sighed as his fingers hovered over the keyboard, but before could type back, he immediately thought about something that had been bugging him and decided to go with that.
Mark
Um sure
I was actually about to ask if I could come over, I need to talk to you about something
Johnny ♡
Oh really?
Mark
Yeah
Do you know exactly how long Donghyuck is gonna be gone?
Johnny
Well considering I gave him a fake brand to look for, I'd say probably a good hour
Mark
That's all the time I need
I'll see you soon
Mark shut off his phone as he quickly got out of bed to change into a pair of black sweatpants along with a plain white t-shirt and a thick blue hoodie on. It was still February and cold but not a lot of snow has fallen lately so Mark just put on what would keep him warm for a short walk and put on his shoes.
Mark grabbed his phone as he made his way downstairs knowing that Taeyong was in his room talking with Jaehyun about their baby and being all lovey dovey again. 'I hate to see how gushy they'll be when their baby is born.'
Their mom however, went out grocery shopping but she says that it was mandatory for Taeyong to stay but Mark can go out as he pleases since Taeyong doesn't need help yet with his pregnancy.
So if anything, this would probably be Mark's one and only freebie without getting caught or being questioned.
Mark opens the front door and leaves as he walks to Johnny's house. The cool wind blew harshly against Mark's face and he shivered, he pulled his hood up and stuffed his hands inside the pocket of his hoodie as he continues walking. 'I have got to get my own car soon.'
《 ♡ 》
❝So... what did you want to talk about?❞ Johnny questioned with Mark sitting beside him on his bed. Mark had sat a little far away from him as he looked down at his sweater paws, deciding if he should say what he wanted to say.
It was silent but Johnny didn't rush him, instead he slightly scooted closer to Mark but the younger boy paid no mind to him. ❝Taeyong told me about his pregnancy. Congratulations on being an uncle.❞
❝Yeah...❞
Johnny didn't like to see Mark being so sad, he doesn't know what's causing him to be sad so he puts an arm around Mark's shoulder but the younger doesn't lean into him. ❝What's wrong Mark?❞
The younger didn't answer right away but he did look up at Johnny with the same sad look, it made Johnny nervous.
❝I know that I said I wanted to keep doing this, but...❞ Mark held up a hand to motion between him and Johnny. ❝I think I want to stop.❞
Johnny furrows his eyebrows as he takes in what Mark just said to him, ❝What? You want to stop?❞
Mark nods his head as he averts his gaze back to his sweater paws, fingers pulling at the sleeve. ❝I was thinking about it and then the sudden realization about prom being near reminded me that I have to be there for Donghyuck.❞
Mark could feel Johnny's body go tense beside him so he slightly shifted in his spot and removed Johnny's arm from around him, ❝I know I'm in too deep but I also know that it's not too late to change everything, for Donghyuck. I want to be the best for him and I want to prove it at prom. I realize now that he and I are supposed to have a future together.❞
Mark looked up to see Johnny had averted his gaze away from Mark, he sighed already feeling bad. ❝I didn't want to tell you over text but even now when I'm telling you this in person, I still sound like an asshole.❞
When Johnny still kept silent, Mark turned his body around and hesitantly put a hand on Johnny's shoulder. ❝But I hope you understand, you of all people should understand that this wasn't serious and it was just for fun right?❞
Mark retracted his hand and set it beside him. He expected Johnny to lash out at him but he was surprised to see the older turn his head back to him and smiled, kindly. ❝Yeah I know. I kinda figured that you wanted to stop at some point.❞
Mark almost felt relieved that Johnny wasn't mad, even though he knew he was lying but it was too calm for him to just say it so casually that he understands.
❝So you're not mad?❞ Mark asked with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
Johnny shook his head but then gave Mark a small nod, ❝Well, a little bit but that's only because I'll never get to see a great ass like yours ever again but overall, I'm not mad.❞
Mark slightly smiled at Johnny but frowned, ❝So what does that make us now? I mean we were never friends to begin with.❞
Mark looked at Johnny who was deep in thought as he was searching for the right word. ❝Well let's just say that we're acquaintances. We don't have to be friends, just that we know each other.❞
Mark gave it some thought and figured that that was best so he nodded his head at Johnny, ❝Mmh ok. Sounds good to me.❞
Right when Mark said that, he got up from Johnny's bed and was about to leave if it hadn't been for Johnny suddenly grabbing his hand, keeping him in place.
❝Wait. Before you go...❞ Mark gives Johnny a confused look as the older smiles up at him, ❝One last time?❞
Mark looked at Johnny still confused until he understood what he meant. He felt conflicted and looked at Johnny unsure if he should sleep with him one last time, Johnny could tell what he was thinking so he tightened his hold on Mark's hand and gave him a small pout. ❝Please? I just want one last time before we go our separate ways.❞
Mark thought long and hard about what Johnny is asking of him. On one hand, it could end pretty badly and possibly start another conflict but on the other hand, it is just one last time. Before Mark gave his answer, he glanced at the digital clock on Johnny's night stand.
'I've got 50 minutes left...'
❝Mmmh ok. But just this once.❞ Mark said as he looked back at Johnny.
He made the mistake of looking Johnny in the eyes because the older smirked at him as he yanked Mark forwards, the younger ended up sitting in Johnny's lap.
❝I promise this last time will be one that you'll never forget.❞
Mark nodded when he felt Johnny's hands on his hips, giving it a small squeeze as they both leaned in for a kiss.
Johnny quickly deepened the kiss as he slowly laid back on his bed, gently pulling Mark down with him. Johnny pulled back as he made quick work of trying to get Mark's hoodie off of him.
Mark helped him as they threw it on the floor somewhere followed by his t-shirt. Johnny quickly latched his mouth onto Mark's neck, sucking at the skin as Mark wraps his arms around Johnny's shoulders.
While Johnny was making fresh new hickeys on Mark's once clear skin, Mark's gaze was on Johnny's clock as he keeps looking at the time, hoping that they'll be quick and done in time before Donghyuck gets back.
