When Mark wakes to Jackson jumping up and down on his bed and yanking his blankets off he's more than ready to either crusify the boy or try and get back to sleep, regardless of his bed moving up and down.
But then Jackson begins yelling in excitement and Mark realises what day it is.'It's game day Markie boy! Get ready to kick some private school ass!' Jackson shrieks, throwing Marks blanket across the room and bending to try and drag the red head from the bed.
Mark groans, but get's up anyway, a thrum of excitement running through him even in his tired daze. He shoves Jackson off of him, rolling his eyes before he rubs at them.
'There ya go!' Jackson yells, jumping off of Marks bed and wrapping an arm around his shoulders.'Thought I'd wake you up myself, today is the day I refuse to be late.'
Mark grunts in reply, still half asleep as he picks up his towel for a shower.'Just grab your damn stuff and get ready, and never get on my bed again.I'll end your life.'
Jackson grins, grabbing his own towel then ruffling Marks hair, eyes bright.'I love that you're such a morning person.' He says, and Mark doesn't miss the sarcasm.
'Yeah Yeah,let's go.'
'I can already see your hidden excitement so I'll let your shit mood go because I'm such a good friend.' Jackson calls, both of them heading out into the corridor.
'Man I can't wait for this, we're gonna win, I can feel it.'Mark chuckles, passing a few other open doors.Hoseok's not in his room though his door is open, revealing a slumbering Yoongi hyung passed out on his bed.Everybody must be in the showers already, just as eager to get ready and onto the coach that'll be waiting for them outside.
When he enters the shower room he spots Namjoon heading out, towel wrapped round his waist.
'Ready for today?" He aks, eyes bright and Mark grins, patting his shoulder.
'I'm always ready.'
'Yeah yeah, be out by the coach in thirty or it's leaving without you.' Namjoon chuckles, narrowly dodging a half asleep Hakyeon and Sungjae as they barrell down the corridor.
Mark showers quickly, becoming more excited as he wakes up and watches the others mess around and shout out stupid chants. He's used to the thrill that comes with getting ready for major games, used to the chanting and the stupid dances and group talks to pump everyone up, but something tells him that today is going to be special.
Maybe it's because they have Jinyoung now.Suddenly he feel's invincible, excited to just get out onto the court and do his thing with his favourite people.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to be able to shove their win in those snobby guy's faces.He dries himself off quickly and wraps a towel around his waist, calling out to Jaebum just as he wanders into the room rubbing at his eyes.
'Jinyoung already showered?'
Jaebum nods, towel in hand.'That kid is so excited he got up at six am. Fucking woke me up.'
Mark grins, using another towel to dry his hair.Cute.
'It's alright, I'll forgive him since it's an imporant day.' Jaebum sighs.'But I won't hesitate to rub my ass with his pillow next time, I need my sleep man.'
Mark laughs, shaking his head.'Dude, I'll give you Jackson's too, Jinyoung isn't the only one.'
Jaebum smirks,'Sometimes I think about how glad I am that I don't have to share a room with Jackson you know.'
Mark just rolls his eyes, stepping out into the corridor.'I'll gladly exchange.'
'No way-'
Jaebum's interrupted as Jackson practically leaps out of the room, eyes bright and wide and a massive grin on his face as he looks between the two.
