(Septiplier) Moving Out, Moving In

Part 4

Mark couldn't sleep at all; his mind was swimming with questions. About Jack, what he had witnessed and how Jack has been acting. But he was also questioning himself.

'What did Jack mean? Does he...like...LIKE me?'  

Mark found he was smiling after clearing up that thought about it being true.

'Wait, why am I smiling? Why do I feel so...happy? I mean, all the time Jack's been here, I've been happy. But that's because we're friends!' Mark's heart went funny as he used the word 'friend', he wasn't sure what emotion it was, but he didn't like it. Flashes of memories with Jack and himself sped through his mind. All those times when they were together and just 'messing around', like the hand-hug or some of the things they ended up saying in videos. All the hugs and the gestures. Surely we were just joking, you know, being the oddball friends that we are?  

'But I meant them...'

Mark made himself jump and what his mind responded with. Quickly, he found his phone and went into his photo folder, flicking through until he found pictures of him and Jack together. It was like a test, this time, he was going to pay close attention to how he reacted and felt when he looked at these pictures. He pulled the first one up and he found himself looking instantly right into Jack's blue eyes. Then his heart seemed to beat funny, he found himself smiling as he flicked through all the different pictures he had. All those ones were Jack was pulling faces with him.

''He's such a cute goofball'' he accidently muttered out loud with a chuckle. 

'Did I just call him 'cute'. Well, he is cute, but I've called him that before, I find a lot of things 'cute', not just him' he tried to reason with himself.

'But not cute like Jack is...'

Then, he swiped to a picture of Jack in a suit, looking serious. This time, his heart stopped completely. He did not swipe to the next one, he found himself just staring at it. He was going to try something, he was going to say something out loud and his reaction and feeling after it would more or less confirm it to him.

'Ok, I'm going to say it' he thought to himself. Mark took a deep breath in and closed his eyes for a moment.

''I love Jack!'' he called out into the night. A wave of warmth came over him, his heart tingled and his eyes grew wide. Looking down at the floor, it hit him.

''I do...'' He said, before looking up with determination.

''I love JackSepticEye!'' he said his full youtuber name just for the effect. He began to laugh in utter joy and smiled down at his phone where the picture was still up. But his smile fell.

'What do I do now? I don't know if Jack loves me back! That might just have been a dream that meant nothing! I don't want to risk ruining out friendship! I don't want to scare Jack away...I'll leave it for now. For the moment, I'll just wait and see what happens' he decided, he then checked the time.

'Well, shit. What am I going to do? I still can't sleep' he pouted. His gaze was caught by his computer and he eyed it for a few seconds.

'Fuck it, I'll play some games'

~A few hours of gameplay later~

It was now 7 in the morning, a much more reasonable time. But Mark still wanted to get back at Jack. Plus, he really wanted to see him now. So, saving his game, he switched it off and walked to Jack's bedroom. 

But now, he didn't want to wake him the way he had planned before, he felt it was just a bit too cruel. So, how should he wake him now? Then, an idea struck him. Mark cupped his hands and took in a huge breath.

''TOP OF THE MORNING TO YA, LADDIE!'' he yelled in the best Irish accent he could. Jack woke very suddenly, screaming, and fell off the bed at Mark's feet with a thud. Mark looked down to see Jack glaring at him and blushing from embarrassment. 

''MARK!'' he yelled from the floor. Mark was busy laughing his head off, he was holding onto his stomach as he did so. But he soon calmed down.

''Now we're even'' he said, offering a hand out to jack, who took it and Mark helped pull him up.

''Fine'' Jack huffed. But then he instantly looked shifty. Before he walked forward like Mark had done to him and succeeded in trapping Mark against the wall too. Mark looked down at him, trying to read his expression.

''Now...Mark, do you know what happens if you wake ME like this?'' Jack asked, his voice oddly deep.

''No?'' Mark asked, watching him.

''This'' Jack leant in and pressed his lips against Mark's roughly. 

Mark's eyes flew open in surprise at Jack's sudden move. But he soon melted into the kiss, accepting it, closing his eyes and kissing back. Jack, now realising that he had been accepted, kissed more passionately. One of Mark's hands came up and cupped Jack's face lovingly and he deepened the kiss. The other arm wrapped around his waist and pulled him closer. Jack had his hands on Mark's chest as he was up against it, but Jack was gripping tightly onto mark's shirt with both hands. Mark then felt a nibble on his bottom lip and gladly opened his mouth, allowing Jack's tongue entrance. Before too long, they had to pull away to breathe. Jack placed his head on Mark's chest for a moment as he took in breaths. Mark's arms snaked around him and brought him into a tight embrace.  

''I can't believe that you actually...kissed back. I was terrified that if I tried, you would hate me. But, I...I couldn't help myself. But, Mark...I think...I lov-'' Jack stuttered but was cut off by Mark. 

''Shhhh, it's ok, I know how you feel. Because, Jack'' he trailed off, planting a quick kiss on the top of his head.

''I love you too''
