"Honey, I'm home!" Jackson called teasingly into the apartment as he shut the door behind him, slipping off his shoes and tossing his hoodie onto the coatrack as he wandered into the living room.

It was 3:30pm. Jackson had just gotten home from school. As it turned out, the little routine of Jackson going to school while Mark stayed home and did his online school, worked out quite nicely.

Mark popped his head out of the kitchen, dressed in one of Jackson's shirts and a pair of boxers, an apron wrapped around his small figure as he grinned at his boyfriend.

"Hi Jack. The food is going to be ready in a few minutes, go change clothes," Mark said with a smile before he trotted back into the kitchen to continue whatever he was cooking. Jackson headed to his bedroom, ( Mark had his own because he claimed 'If I share a room with you I'm going to be too tempted!' Even though he ended up falling asleep in bed with Jackson most nights. ) and changed into some sweatpants, sliding off his shirt without replacement, since he saw no need for one anyways.

He made his way to the dining room, humming softly as he sat down at the table, a smile slipping onto his lips as Mark entered the room, holding two full played of kimchi, rice, and mini sushi rolls. He placed them onto the table and slid into the chair beside Jackson, sitting cross-legged and smiling up at his lover.

"How was school?" Mark asked his boyfriend with a light tilt of his head.

"It was lovely angel, what did you do today?" Jackson replied as he popped a piece of sushi into his mouth.

"Hmm well this morning I did a few lessons, then I went and got some groceries, took a little nap, cleaned the room, and than began to make dinner, and now here we are," Mark explained with a light chuckle as he took a bite of his rice.

Jackson smiled, pulling his smaller boyfriend to his lap, arms looping around his waist. "Sounds like it's been a nice day," He said with a light hum as he began to feed Mark, who couldn't help but to blush lightly.

"It has," He mumbled with a full mouth of food as he chewed, covering his mouth with his hand. Jackson just chuckles, beginning to pepper light kisses all over his boyfriend's face.

Things were great.

Mark having had moved in was a lovely start to it, it was an easy decision for the two of them. Mark having chosen online school made things very nice, especially on evenings like this one. It seemed Mark was quite a good decision maker.

But there was one decision he was a little unsure about. So he did what he knew would be best, and he asked Jackson.

"Can I ask you something?" Mark asked between being fed bites of food, Jackson nodded.

"Of course, what is it angel?" Jackson replied.

"Well you see, lately I've been here, you know that, and I've had a lot of time to think. And I've been thinking about the future a lot.. And I know I want to go to college eventually, but I was thinking after we graduate in a few months I want to take a little break from school. Get a job, save up for a little while," Mark explained, almost in a ramble as he leaned against Jackson's chest. Jackson nodded a tad at his lover's words.

"I think that sounds great Mark, I'd be starting college the next fall, and maybe you could start the next spring while I take off, we can like switch with working and school, it'd work our actually.." He enthused with a hum as he played with Mark's hair, who hummed lightly.

"Sounds like a plan, but til then, we've got more than half the school year left, and I really like the way things are right now," Mark answered with a peck to Jackson's jaw and a soft grin.

"Me too," His counterpart replied with a happy hum as he lightly snuggled the smaller male in his arms.

Mark looked up to Jackson, smiling gently as he pressed a soft kiss to his lips. "Let's just focus on the present, for now," He whispered lightly as he let his arms loop around his boyfriend's neck.

Jackson couldn't help but smile against Mark's lips, returning the kiss slowly and happily before he pulled back, nodding his head softly. "I couldn't agree more," He said quietly as he stood from the chair, lifting up Mark into his arms with him as he carried him to the bedroom.

He lied Mark back on the bed slowly, and their lips entwined in a slow, loving kiss, seemingly melting against each other in a manner it seemed that they never had before. The amount of passion shared between them so immense it was unbelievable.

Not even a minute had passed before Jackson disconnected their lips a moment so that he could slide his shirt off of Mark's slim, pale skin. Mark looked to him, not an ounce of apprehension visible in his eyes.

The amount of trust Mark had in Jackson was more than either of them had ever seen before, it was an intense, unbroken trust. Jackson could've done anything to Mark in that moment and Mark would've let him. Which was good for him, because all Jackson wanted to do was make Mark happy.
