Mark ignored this comment, but Jack seemed to pick up on it. The hell did he do? Why would Felix say somethin' like that? Did they...
"HEY JACK!?"
He was bought back to reality by a loud voice in his ear. "JESUS CHRIST!" He flinched back, putting his hands over his ears. "What was that for!?"
"You spaced out while we were playing."
"Are you okay?"
"Sorry for shouting in your ear."
Seán chuckled, shaking his head lightly. "I'm fine, just a bit tired I suppose!"
"Well you can go to bed if you want, it is past 3am, after all."
Checking his watch in disbelief, he saw that it indeed was past three. "Woah! I had no idea!"
"Well hey, we only have two beds so we're gonna have to pair up." Ken stated, pausing the game before another round started. "Who's gonna go with who?"
"I'll sleep with Jack." Two voices said in sync.
Ken and Jack looked at the pair in confusion.
"Hey, fine bro, I wont get in your way. Ken and I have had to sleep together in the past anyways." Felix said in a calm manor, subtly winking at Seán as if to say 'next time'.
Mark frowned slightly. "Okay."
"Well then," Ken clapped his hands together. "Guess we should head off to bed then, huh?"
The others all agreed and said their "good-nights" and "later losers" as they went off into their respective rooms.

"Well that was fun."
Mark nodded, shutting his phone off after texting his mom goodnight. Well, more like good-morning at this point.
"Hey, Mark, what'd Felix mean by what he said earlier?" Seán was sitting on the edge of their shared bed, staring at the floor with his feet kicking back and forth.
"What do you mean? What'd he say?" Mark knew what Jack was talking about, but decided to play dumb to avoid the question.
"Nevermind." Jack said with a sigh.
"I just realised something."
"What?"
"We forgot to bring pyjamas."
"Fuck!"
"Well I'm fine sleeping in my clothes."
"In jeans?"
Mark shrugged. "I mean yeah it's uncomfortable and it'll be extremely hard to try and fall asleep but hey, at least I'll look decent."
Seán shook his head and let out a chuckle. "Mark, I'd much rather have to see you in boxers than have to see you suffer through the pain of sleeping with jeans on."
"You sure?"
Seán nodded. "Besides, it'd be weird if I just had on boxers and you were fully clothed."
A light pink dusted Mark's cheeks as he laughed softly. "Yeah, it'd be a bit awkward. But isn't this going to be awkward as well?"
"Of course not, we're bros!" It pained Jack to say that, but according to Felix, Mark was REALLY homophobic.
Mark, on the other hand, winced a bit at his words, trying his hardest to pull off a smile. Jack can't find out he's gay, it'd just be too dangerous.
"Alright, I'ma just take a shower real quick and then I'll come 't bed." Jack smiled, walking to the bathroom and shutting the door behind himself before Mark could respond. He locked the door and started getting undressed while his thoughts haunted him.
What about Felix?
Oh, screw that guy.
But he's your boyfriend?
But Mark's hotter.
He checked to make sure there were towels around before he turned on the water and stepped in.
Ugh, why'd Felix have to go here?
I mean sure it's nice to see him after all this time,
But do I really love him?
Or is it just that I love someone else more?
Oh, snap out of it Seán, you just met this guy YESTERDAY!
You've known Felix for almost yer whole life.
I gotta decide, I just don't know how.
Once he was done showering, Jack wrapped a towel around his waist and used the other to dry his hair. He put back on his boxers and hoodie (just because he was still cold from showering) and went into the bedroom.
"You done?"
Jack nodded with a yawn. "Yeah, you gonna shower, too?"
Mark nodded, walking past Seán to the bathroom. Once he was inside, Seán let out a loud sigh and threw himself onto the bed.
It smelled nice. Like Felix.
He was about to fall asleep when he heard the door open. He sat up and saw a sight he wished he got a photo of.
It was Mark, hair wet, stripped down to his boxers. Drops of water clung onto his muscular form as he dried his hair with a towel. He tossed the towel into the bathroom behind him as he walked toward the bed.
Jack tried to look distracted, but to no avail. He couldn't stop staring at Mark's bare, toned skin. He was evenly tan, so he probably went out a lot. Maybe swimming? Man, he'd kill to see-
"Jack!"
"Huhfblgsxgy-" Jack shouted several words at once and took a deep breath to compose himself. "Sorry."
Mark laughed, shaking his head. "It's no problem, but you were staring at me for a while, like what you see?" He said jokingly, flexing his biceps and secretly wishing Seán would say yes.
"Knock it off, ya goof!" He chuckled, punching Mark's shoulder playfully. "We should really go to bed. It's almost 5."
"Geez, yeah." He didn't want to remind Jack, but he had a class tomorrow, or today, around 1pm. So did Felix.
Seán took his hoodie off and tossed it on the floor next to him as Mark climbed in on his other side. He dozed off almost immediately after his head hit the pillow.
Mark was now left alone in the familiar room next to a beautiful stranger. He was angry with himself for so easily falling in love with someone he just met, but that's how it normally went for him.
Mark found himself staring at the ceiling for an hour or so, his mind blank as he tried to fall asleep.
He suddenly felt a warm object wrap itself around his waist. He looked down and saw a sleeping Jack clinging to him. A deep shade of red dusted his cheeks as Jack squeezed tighter, mumbling incomprehensible words into Mark's chest.
He tried to listen, but all he only heard things in fragments.
"Felix why.... Mark is.... decide.... we're just...." That wasn't all, but Mark decided to stop listening before his heart was crushed.
Wrapping an arm around Jack, he shut his eyes and was finally able to fall asleep.
