(Heyyyy you guysssss! Since the last one was kinda fandom oriented, I wanted to do something else so thanks demonwolfguy22 for the prompt)

mark sat in the cold, sterile room, his hand clinging to his weak boyfriends, as he mentally counted the number of times he'd seen this same scene. It was 99 times now. 99 times he'd sat beside the pale man, who had so many tubes coming out of his arms. 99 times he'd looked at him, his green hair faded to a dull, greyed out colour and his eyes paler and devoid of their usual lively shine. 99 times he'd heard jack tell him that he knew the end was coming, and that he loved mark and was so sorry he'd have to go, and 99 times mark had told him not to apologise, and that he loved him. 99 times he'd stroked his hair, 99 times he'd kissed his head, and 99 times he'd heard the slow, steady beeping of the machine against the wall fade to nothing.

99 times he'd watched the love of his life die.

The doctors came racing in, and even though part of mark told him that jack wouldn't be saved, he waited, telling himself this time would be different, they'd save him. This time, this time, this time! But of course that never happened, so mark would be left fiddling with the small machine he'd brought, setting in the same date as always and hitting the button, transporting himself back to the same time as always.

100 times mark had sat in this cold sterile room, but this time, like he had been every time before , he was sure it would end differently.
