Safe place (Markhyuck)

26

When Wednesday comes around Haechan is bouncing off the walls he is so excited. It's technically their first official date and he can't wait to see how Mark has planned it out. When the realization hits him that before he would have needed pills to get through this where now he needs none, he gets even more excited.
He tries not to run to the door when Mark rings the bell but it's hard and when he opens the door and sees Mark standing there with a bouquet of sunflowers and red roses he melts completely.
"Hi." He says shyly. Mark smiles and touches his face.
"Hi." He hands him the flowers and Haechan thanks him with a kiss before letting him in. He makes quick work of putting the Flowers in a vase and admiring them on the table.
"They're so pretty, I love them. Thank you." Mark gives him a hug.
"You're welcome, now are you ready?" Haechan nods and smiles brightly making Mark melt.
"Ok it's going to require walking a couple of blocks, are you good?" Haechan kisses his cheek.
"I'm great, lead the way."
They walk out hand in hand talking about their days and anything else that pops up. It is light small talk that is just perfect for their slow casual walk.
"How are you feeling?" Mark asks softly as they are nearing the end of the walk.
"Really good, I always feel good when I'm with you." Mark smiles and stops, surprising the other as he pulls him into a sweet loving kiss. As soon as they pull apart Mark gestures with his head for Haechan to look in the other direction and he is floored.
Mark has somehow managed to transform his back yard in the amount of time they were walking.
"How did you?"
He asks breathless and even Mark is impressed.
"I have my ways and some really good friends." He says smiling.
The table was set up simply with one string of lights for the two of them to enjoy their evening meal and the second area was just a space for them to enjoy each others company and cuddle. Haechan can't believe all this got done in such a short amount of time.

"Mark this is absolutely beautiful, I don't know how you did it but I love it." He walks into his yard and examines everything while Mark just stands back enjoying the smile on his face.
"Come on dinner will be here soon." Mark leads him to the table and not too long after a short wait, a person dressed in a suit brings their plates and leaves with a smile. Haechan is still in a state of shock when he opens the cover on his plate and sees a perfectly cooked steak with potatoes and a salad.

After getting over the surprise with a little help from Mark he finally was able to enjoy his steak meal and it was the best. Mark too was impressed with the food.
When they finish Mark leads Haechan over to the hammock and they clumsily get in but it doesn't change the warm atmosphere that this has provided.
"I hope this was ok, I didn't think going out of your comfort zone was a good idea for a first date, I wanted you to be comfortable." Haechan smiles softly and kisses Mark's lips before lying with his head on his chest. They stay this way for quite some time with Mark stroking Haechan's hair and The other just listening to Mark's heartbeat.

"Mark, are you planning to leave me soon? Like is there something I should know?" Mark frowns and guides the other to look at his face.
"Why would you even ask that?" Haechan sighs and places his head back on Mark's heart.
"Because every time we cuddle I listen to your heart and it always beats so quickly and erratically. Do you have heart problems?" Mark can't help but laugh loudly at his question as the younger pouts. It only takes a few seconds though before it gets quiet.
"That's you, you do that." Haechan looks up into Mark's eyes before settling back onto his heart to listen more.

"When you look at me with your beautiful eyes and pretty smile, when you touch me or even just say my name a certain way. It's all you." Mark says in a hushed tone and after only a minute Haechan takes the others hand and places it on his own heart for him to feel it beating uncontrollably.
"Me too." He whispers. Mark looks deep in his eyes for quite a long time before speaking in a harsh whisper.
"Come here." Haechan, sensing what he wants carefully makes his way upward to straddle Marks waist and kiss him softly on the lips. Mark responds immediately and gently swipes his tongue across his bottom lip, receiving the ok right away with Haechan softening his lips and allowing entrance. He moans softly into Marks mouth as their tongues delicately caress the others causing Mark to grab a hold of the younger's waist. His fingers dancing across the bare skin as his shirt has ridden up a bit in all the movement, Haechan can feel himself getting hotter so he pulls back slightly and leaves soft little kisses on Mark's face. He continues to assault him with kisses as he moves to his neck, this time eliciting a moan from Mark.

Haechan then leans up and connects their mouths once again in a gentle way. They aren't forcing anything, neither has sex on the brain or anything leading to that. They spend their night lazily kissing and cuddling and just being with each other.
"Sometimes I think I need to pinch myself, that this isn't real you know?" Mark chuckles and starts pinching his side making him giggle and squirm. His face lights up the night sky as far as Mark is concerned. He continues to tickle him lightly and eventually makes it to his side to look this perfect boy in the eyes.
"You know when you smile my heart beats like crazy but when you laugh and I see that beautiful light in your eyes I can't breath and my heart stops. The best thing in this world is seeing you feeling joy."
Haechan swallows hard and wipes the tears leaking from his eyes furiously, only stopping because Mark notices.

"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong? I know I move too fast for you and I'm sorry if I upset you, but I truly feel that way." Haechan shakes his head trying to build up his ability to speak.
"No, it's just that sometimes I think you are too perfect, too good to be true, you know? Like one day you will just have had enough and leave, but I try to tell myself that it's just my mental health issues that make me think this and I feel so guilty and I..."
Mark kisses him softly on the lips.
"We all have those fears. How do I know that one day you won't walk out of this house and someone will sweep you off your feet and you will forget me? We all have doubts but we just have to live in the moment and trust each other, that's all we can do." Haechan chuckles and shakes his head.
"See? Too perfect." Mark smiles softly and touches his cheek.

"We should probably head inside, you have school in the morning and I have work." Haechan nods and kisses him one more time before getting up then helping Mark.
When Mark finally stands at the door, ready to leave he places a lingering kiss on the others lips and hugs him softly.
"I'll call you tomorrow, ok? Get some sleep." Haechan can't help but feel the warmth move through him.
"Goodnight Mark." He watches as Mark slowly backs away, he can tell he doesn't want to leave and the feeling is mutual. Haechan suspected that Mark would pull off a perfect date and he wasn't surprised at all when he did. He only wishes he could call Jeno and gush to him but he will save that for another time.
