Best Friends To Boyfriends (Septiplier)

Part 10

Mark's POV:

When we were finished with the arcade, we decided to go on the bumper cars. Surprisingly, we weren't stuck with a bunch of little kids, but we did get put with a bunch of teenagers. They seemed to keep to themselves while Jack and I just went after each other. At one point, we were going towards each other and stopped when our cars were side by side but facing opposite directions. I turned my steering wheel all the way towards him and drove, pushing us in a circle together. Jack didn't try to get away, but instead turned his wheel towards me. We continued in a circle like that until one of the teenagers ran her car into both of us. Jack and I laughed as the teen pushed her way past us, trying to get someone else. 

After the ride, we decided to just walk around for a little bit, seeing what else the pier had to offer. 

"Ooh, let's go do that!" Jack said, pointing to a small henna booth. We walked over there, trying to decide what to get on the way.

"We should do something matching." I suggested. "To show our friendship."

"What if you get Sam Septiceye and I get Tiny Box Tim!" He suggested.

"Yeah, let's do that!" I laughed as we showed pictures to the artist of what we wanted. When they finished, Jack took a picture of the two designs and posted it to twitter.

Since we had to wait for the henna to dry, Jack and I decided to sit at one of the tables outside a food stand. We talked about nonsense stuff and answered some tweets until the henna was dry. We then went to the restroom to wash it off and this time I took a picture to post.

When we went back out, I began to feel a few water drops here and there. I didn't think too much of it as we got in line to do the roller coaster again, but when we got there we got turned down because there was a thunderstorm on the way. A lot of people left the pier as they heard about the storm, but Jack and I decided to stay. Water never hurt anybody anyway. Before we knew it, it began downpouring. We quickly sought shelter at a table under an umbrella. 

"I'm starving. Do you want to go get some pizza?" I asked Jack, pointing to the food stand not too far away.

"Yeah, so am I." Jack ran out from under the umbrella to the stand, getting in line. I walked after him, not really caring if I got wet anymore. We ordered our pizza and ran back to our table, trying to keep our pizza dry. 

As we ate, we listened to the sound of the rain hitting the umbrella and the thunder roaring overhead, not really talking much. Suddenly, I stood up, abandoning my pizza, and ran out into the rain. Jack just watched me and laughed as I ran around, letting the rain soak me. 

"Come on." I said, motioning for Jack to join me. He looked like he wanted to, setting his pizza on his plate, but stayed in his seat. I ran over to him, grabbing his hand and dragging him into the rain.

"Mark!" Jack whined, pouting.

"Come on, just enjoy the rain. Who cares if you get a little wet!" I yelled, running around again. Suddenly, Jack started chasing me.

"You're going to pay for this!" He yells as I ran behind the building. I look behind me and don't see Jack, but when I turn, he's right in front of me. He tries to grab me, but I avoid him by quickly turning around and running the other direction. I look behind me and see Jack chasing me again. He quickly catches up to me and grabs me from behind, both of us laughing. He let's go of me as we catch our breaths and walk back to our table. 

We continued eating our pizza, going back to our comfortable silence. I watched Jack as he watched the rain hitting the rooftops of the buildings. He was soaking wet, his shirt clinging to his body. He pushed his hair out of face and I realized just how much I wanted to kiss him. I could see the sun begin to set behind Jack, turning the sky orange and pink and lighting Jack's face perfectly. As I watched him in that moment, I realized something. I don't just like Jack.

I love him.
