Safe place (Markhyuck)

Sleep over part 1:

By Friday afternoon Haechan was bouncing off the walls. He was so excited for his weekend with Mark he couldn't even focus on school. He had ordered some groceries but Mark had also wanted to pick some up too and that is what he is doing now.
They are planning to order Chinese for tonight then they will grill steaks on Saturday evening.
Haechan cleaned then cleaned again. His anxiety is starting to kick in a little, not so much about Mark being there but because he wants Mark to have a really good time and want to come back.

When the doorbell rings he has to hold himself from running to answer it, but when he finally does he feels peaceful as Mark stands there with a soft smile.
"So can I come in?" Mark asks as Haechan is kind of blocking the doorway. Haechan looks away shyly as he backs up. Mark chuckles at how cute he is being.
"You're so cute." Haechan slaps his arm and takes the groceries out of his hands as he just continues to chuckle.
"So have you talked to Jeno lately?" Mark thinks for a minute then holds his finger up.
"Yeah the next day he said he was completely surprised but so happy that you were accepting of me." Haechan looks down sadly.
"I'm sorry, because of me you keep having to lie. Let's tell him. Next weekend I'll have all of you over and we can talk to him." Mark smiles and hugs him.
"If you are ready, just remember, no matter what you are stuck with me for a long time." Haechan smiles and follows him to the couch.
"So we are starting with Iron man and Iron man 2, are you ready?" Haechan smiles and leans back on the couch.

By the end of the second movie Haechan is on the floor watching intently while munching on popcorn.
Mark smiles watching the other enjoy himself, it makes him so happy he doesn't realize it's over until Haechan calls his name. Haechan could tell he was being watched but to save himself embarrassment he won't say a thing.

"Do you know what you want from the Chinese place? I need some real food this popcorn is upsetting my stomach." Haechan pouts and rubs his belly cutely. Mark smiles shyly and looks away, finding it hard to look at him when he does that because he can't stop the fond that flows out of him.
"I don't care, something spicy. Chicken maybe?" Haechan giggles.
"Ok, I'll just pick something for you." Mark gives him the thumbs up and heads toward the bathroom.

"Hey, let's go outside for a bit and walk around. We could use a little break until the food comes?" Haechan reluctantly nods. They get to the porch outside and stop for a minute just to take in the beautiful night.
"So are you having fun? I'm not too boring am I?" Haechan asks still feeling self conscious about Mark getting bored with him not leaving the house. Mark rolls his eyes.
"You don't bore me, far from it. I'm having a great time. Shouldn't I be the worried one? I mean I am making you watch these movies?" Haechan shakes his head no, enthusiastically.
"No, I've seen a few Marvel movies honestly but they are all so good, I love watching them." Mark smiles and takes his hand.

"Come, let's walk around the yard or something?" Haechan is surprised by how quickly he listens to Mark but here he is making slow laps around his house and really enjoying the progress.
"Tomorrow we should go outside the gate." This makes Haechan stop in his tracks.
"Let me rephrase that, we should try, to go outside the gate. I would never try to force you into it you know? It was just an idea." Haechan softens and pulls Mark into a hug.
"Yes, we are going to try. I trust you a hundred percent so I know that no matter what you will keep me safe." Mark smiles proudly and squeezes Haechan.
"I'm so glad." He pulls back and looks Haechan in his eyes.
"You really are braver than you think. Now let's go watch another movie." Haechan giggles and follows, not holding his hand and surprisingly not that nervous.

By the end of Thor, Haechan is getting sleepy and rests his head on Mark's shoulder for the start of Captain America: The first Avenger.
"Ok but can we talk about how hot Thor is?" Haechan asks sleepily, while Mark just chuckles.
"Eh, if you like all those muscles. I think Ironman is smart sexy." Haechan hums in agreement.
"True, but he's kind of a slut at first." Haechan says as Mark just quietly agrees.
"I guess, maybe I'm the Ironman. Minus the sexy part, but Jeno basically said I used to be a slut so." Haechan pops up and hits him on the chest.
"Ok now who's talking negative about themself? First off, Jeno apologized and said he misunderstood so there. Second you are probably the only person here who can't see how sexy you are." Haechan crosses his arms in a huff then immediately heats up, realizing what he just said out loud. He doesn't back pedal, just turns away from Mark who also has red cheeks and a shy smile.

"Ok thanks, I guess?" Both laugh awkwardly as Mark restarts the movie. Haechan again leans on his shoulder feeling a little sleepy. This lasts through the whole thing as Mark's fingers have found a home in the little hairs on the back of Haechan's neck. So of course he fell asleep through the last half but Mark will fill him in tomorrow.
"Wake up, Haechan. Let's go to bed now." Haechan groggily gets up and pulls Mark along showing him the extra bedroom that he cleaned up just for him, then goes straight to his room to sleep.

Mark being Mark didn't want to break a tradition so he wrote Haechan a little note and sneakily stuck it to the inside of his bedroom door so he would see it right away in the morning. When Haechan sees it he smiles brightly and peeks into Mark's room watching him sleep for a moment before backing out quietly and going to make breakfast.
Mark wakes to the smell of bacon and coffee. Coffee really isn't his thing but it still smells heavenly.

"Good morning." He says leaning in the doorway, startling Haechan a little. He was in his own world, almost forgetting that he had company.
"Good morning, I got your note. Thank you." Mark smiles and walks further in.
"It smells good in here." Haechan places the food on the table and gestures for him to sit so he does.
He takes what he wants and pours himself some juice. After munching their food in relative silence Mark finally remembers to fill him in on the rest of the movie he missed.
"Ok what do you want to do first? Start a movie or take a walk?" Haechan plays with his fingers for a minute before deciding to try to leave the gate first.
He hopes he is successful but at least this way he has all day to try.
