9: A Most Lovely Day

3rd POV

They temporary couple finished up their breakfast soon after. Jackson cleaned up quickly, refusing to let Mark help.

"Now ifwe were together, I can't promise I'd do the dishes willingly every day, but I'd help out with things like that a majority of the time," Jackson said with a smile over to Mark. Mark just nodded his head a bit. He couldn't seem to wipe the shy blush from his cheeks.

"I have in mind a few things we could do today, because I know you can never make up your mind when deciding things like that, so you would've let me pick anyways," Jackson said with a little hum. Mark nodded again.

"So I thought today, maybe we could go to a little carnival, if that's alright with you?" Jackson asked the other. Mark smiled a bit.

"That sounds great, I haven't been to one in ages," Mark replied happily.

"Great than, let's go," Jackson said, smile spreading on his face. Taking Mark's hand, he led him outside of his apartment and to the car, opening the door for him before getting in the car himself.

He started it and began to drive. One of his hands moved a bit to rest on Mark's thigh lightly.

"Hmm and ifwe were together I'm sure I'd form a little habit of wanting to have a hand on you all the time, even in the car," Jackson said as his fingers drew imaginary shapes along the other's clothed thigh. Mark just smiled, he definitely didn't mind that habit.

After a short ride they arrived at the carnival. Jackson opened the door for Mark, and led him through the front gate, paying both of their admissions before Mark could protest.

"And if we were together I wouldn't let you pay for anything, because I like to, boosts my 'manly pride' just a little bit, " The taller hummed with a playful grin, causing Mark to laugh.

"Hmm and if we were together I'd pay for thing anyways, because you know I'd win that argument," Mark reasoned with a laugh.

"Mhm, sure you would," Jackson laughed. He led Mark through the carnival. All the colorful lights fascinated Mark, they were just so pretty.

"What should we ride first?" Jackson asked, looking around.

"The bumper cars," Mark said with a childish smile. He'd loved the bumper cars since he was little, and he'd ride them til the day they told him he was too old.

Jackson happily nodded, and after a short wait in line, they got on.

Jackson chased Mark in circles the whole time, the both of them laughing at how ridiculous they probably looked. Soon the short ride ended and they got off.

Jakson took Mark's hand, and continued to lead him through the carnival. A small, slightly shy smile formed on Mark's lips.

"Ifwe were together I'd never let go of your hand, always keeping hold of it to keep you by my side," Jackson said with a happy grin. Mark was loving this day so far.

Jackson led them next, to a ride of his choice, the big swinging boat. Mark had always been too scared to ride the ride, and nervousness showed on his face as they approached it. Mark felt a little squeeze to his hand.

"Ifwe were together I'd always be here to comfort you when you're scared, and helping you try new things," Jackson said with a light peck to Mark's head. Mark only nodded.

After a short wait, they got on the ride. And if we're being honest here, Mark screamed extremely loudly. Jackson didn't mind it though, he held the other close to his side the whole time. By the time the ride stopped, Mark was panting from all the screaming, his red hair in every direction. Jackson chuckled a bit and ruffled the other's hair lightly.
