Safe place (Markhyuck)

21

With the hot wet kisses Mark is wildly placing on Haechan's chest and stomach on his way down, the younger is about to lose his control. He is sweating and writhing under Mark's careful touch. His fingers seem to know exactly where Haechan wants to be touched.
"Oh Mark, feels good. So good. Mm." He moans and looks down into Mark's beautiful eyes just as he lowers himself down on to his hard dick before vanishing.

Haechan wakes in a cold sweat looking around. He sighs in defeat as he realizes it was just a dream.
"Fuck." He says touching his throbbing member. He closes his eyes and places his hand down his boxers to relieve his pain and his phone rings. He's confused, it's 11:30 on a Friday so he starts to fear something bad happened.
Of course it's a FaceTime call from Mark. He tries to straighten himself up before answering and hopes his problem goes away on its own.

"H-hi Mark. What's up?" He asks trying to be casual.
"I couldn't sleep, this hotel bed is really uncomfortable and I've missed you." Haechan chuckles.
"It's only been one day." Mark smiles softly.
"I know. How are you? You look sweaty, are you sick?" Haechan's mind freezes as he tries to think of something.
"I'm fine it's just warm." Mark nods but continues to stare him down.
"Are you sure everything is fine? I'll come home." Haechan frowns in thought.
"Why would you do that?" Mark gives him a look as if to say 'why would you even ask'.
"I'm sorry. It's just hard being away, I worry about you." Haechan feels a warmth flow up him from his toes all the way to his face as he blinks in surprise.

"Why do you continue to be perfect when I'm an asshole?" This brings a deep frown from the other.
"Please stop saying bad things about you. I don't like it when people say bad things about the people I care about. It hurts me." Haechan stares softly at Mark's beautiful gentle face with his cute pink lips and small nose. He has deep round eyes that seem to penetrate his soul when they stare like this. He shivers and smiles but doesn't really have a response. More and more he regrets rejecting Mark the way he did, he still struggles knowing he hurt him and feels selfish at times.  "I didn't wake you did I? I can hang up if you're tired?" Haechan smiles softly making Mark's heart speed up.

"I was awake, don't worry. I know I didn't say this before but I miss you too. When you come back to town please stop by here first, I want to see you in person." Mark nods with a grin.
The two spend the next two hours talking about literally everything and nothing at all. This is one of those perfect times where they connect over anything and neither really notice. They each can see that the other is sleepy but selfishly don't want to end the call. When finally Mark can see that Haechan's eyes are not opening as quickly as they used to after he blinks. He smiles at the perfect angel who is trying so hard to stay awake for him.

"Close your eyes Haechanie, get some sleep." The younger wants to fight it but it's futile as his eyelids are closed for the night.
"Good night." He mumbles out and the fond in Mark's heart is written all over his face.
"Good night sweet angel Haechanie." He whispers after the other is for sure asleep. He stares at his face for as long as he can before he feels his own eyes droop. He's thankful that the other propped his phone up so he didn't lose his view. He too puts his phone on his night stand and falls asleep listening to Haechan.
When Mark wakes in the morning he looks to his nightstand first to see Haechan staring at him, blinking slowly.

"Good morning." He says sleepily making Haechan smile softly.
"You look cute when you sleep." Haechan says surprising the other since he's not usually this free with compliments. Mark smiles and buried his face in his pillow.
"How long we're you watching me?" He mumbles out.
"Oh, I think like a half hour already. Now I'm going to eat because I'm starving." He says getting up and grabbing his phone to take with him. Mark hums and sighs.

"I wish I could take you with me all day but I have to go to the team breakfast. I'll have to shower, can I call you later?" Haechan nods.
"Yeah, I'm having Jeno and Jaemin over at seven." Mark nods as he walks into the bathroom and starts to prepare his stuff for his shower.
"Ok, talk to you later then Haechanie." He smiles and waves cutely and the younger almost dies.
"So cute. Bye." They hang up and Haechan thinks that was one of the best times, other than actually cuddling with Mark on the couch that he's had in a long time.
Mark is feeling a little hopeful that Haechan might be coming around. He quickly showers and heads down to the lobby where everyone is meeting and stands next to Yuta and Sicheng who are deep in discussion.
"Mark! Oh my god guess what?" Mark shakes his head.
"What?" He questions.
"Lucas saw Doyoung and Taeyong coming out of the same room this morning." Yuta squeals when Mark smiles big.
"That's great! Taeyong is so in love with him. What about you? Are you guys staying in the same room too?" He asks raising his brows.
Sicheng's face warms up but Yuta quickly nods yes.
"Separate beds though." Sicheng says while Yuta pouts. Mark laughs at the two.
"What about you? Did you bring your boyfriend?" Mark is taken aback.
"I don't have a boyfriend." He says solemnly.
"Oh I thought you were dating that person you always text with a goofy grin." He smiles softly.
"Just friends. I'm alone and that's ok." Yuta claps.
"Ooh, let's set him up with someone." Sicheng rolls his eyes.
"Leave him alone." Yuta nods obeying the other immediately. Mark laughs at how cute they are and how whipped Yuta is.
They all sit together for breakfast with a few others joining them.

"So how is the heartbreak coming along?" Sicheng asks quietly.
"It's good, I went from sad to hopeful and I'm going to stay that way as long as I can." Sicheng smiles wide.
"That's great, I'm pulling for you." Mark nods and smiles as Doyoung stands at the front of the room to make an announcement.
"Ok guys this is a team building for our whole department which means that we need to break away from our comfort zones." He looks sympathetically towards Taeyong who's pouting.
"Don't worry, it's not forever. You can go back to who you're roomed with after the scheduled activities. Here is a list, pass it around and find your person and pair up. Remember to have fun. After we eat we will meet at the beach.

Mark finds his name next to Renjun who he remembers from the art department so he searches for him. He finds him sitting by himself quietly, and walks up to him.
"Hi, I'm Mark. I guess we're partners?" He looks up and smiles shyly.
"Hi." He holds his hand out.
"I'm sorry in advance for being a bummer today but I'm really tired. I made the mistake of rooming with Ten and his fiancé to save money." He shakes his head.
"They promised they wouldn't fuck until they got home but they were so noisy and I never want to go through that again." Mark chuckles.
"They sound like my cousin and his boyfriend, always PDA." He shivers making the other laugh.
"If you want you can room with me tonight, I'm alone and I have another bed in my room." Renjun smiles big.
"Thank you, that's amazing. I don't think I could handle them anymore." Mark laughs and feels he's made a new friend already.
They spend their day on the beach playing different games and then spend the evening around a campfire with alcohol. This is turning out to be more fun than Mark could have imagined. Renjun is so fun to talk to and a fierce but clumsy competitor. He slips away off to the side around ten and calls Haechan.

"Hi, I'm sorry I didn't call earlier. We had a lot of scheduled activities, this is the first quiet moment I've had." He walks along the edge of the water showing Haechan the view with the lights reflecting off the water.
"It's so pretty." He says quietly. Mark senses a sadness in his voice.
"So how was dinner with Jeno and Jaemin?" Haechan smiles.
"It was good, Jaemin drank a little too much wine so Jeno had to take him home early. It was cute." Mark smiles at the sweet smile on the youngers face.
"Mark! I'm going up to bed, I'll leave a light on for you." Renjun yells out from a short distance. Haechan tries not to let jealousy creep in but it's hard.
"Oh yeah, I wanted to FaceTime you like last night but I have a roommate tonight so I can't." Haechan smiles and nods.
"It's fine I was tired anyway so I think I'll just turn in now." Mark is disappointed, he at least wanted to talk a little more.
"Ok goodnight then Haechanie. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. "

Haechan hangs up first and goes straight to bed. He won't tell anyone how he couldn't sleep at all because he was imagining all these different scenarios with Mark and his roommate and he was sick. After a beautiful night spent together Friday he was so close to telling Mark he wants to give it a try but now he's doubtful. He knows he shouldn't be but it's just one of the side effects of his agoraphobia, he even went through it with Jeno because he was spending more time with Jaemin. He is envious of people who can do what ever they want and this right here brings forth one of the insecurities that he had for dating Mark in the first place.
