"Oh... So this is a thing." Mark stated, sounding nervous.
"Uh, mhm. Well the songs about to end." I assured.
As the song ended, we remained in each others arms, standing there in silence.
"Hey, Merk." The me in the video called out.
Mark raised his head and looked at me.
"Yea??"
"Thanks for letting me stay. I really appreciate it. This weeks been really great." I said, smirking some.
"Yea, yea, don't mention it. I think everyone here wanted you down here more then I did." He said, ending in a chuckle.
"Hey, I mean it. If it wasn't for you Merk, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't of been able to do half the things I've done. So sincerely, from the bottom of my heart to the top, thank you." I confessed, sounding a bit emotional.
Mark hugged onto me tight, then pulled away.
"Jack, if I tell you something, you promise not to laugh or feel differently about me??" Mark questioned.
"Man I'm drunk as hell, I will not, remember anything you say. Lay it on me." I replied.
He exhaled, shaking his head, "Ok. I can't believe I'm saying this, and I swear it's the alcohol making me be upfront about this but, earlier, earlier I was talking to Arin and Dan."
"Uh, yea I know. You three were talking while I was dancing. What you guys talk about??"
"Um, I was rambling a lot and I told them how happy I am that you're here and, how much you mean to me. Jack, there's no easy way to say this but, I'm falling for you. I like you, a lot! A whole lot. I like everything about you. I know this is weird to hear but, I mean it. I really honestly li-"
I cut Mark off by pulling him to me and crashing our lips together.
It felt weird watching this video and seeing us like that, but like it was a game or a romantic film, at the same time, the Mark and I in the present said, "Awwww."
In the video we pulled away, hugging each other tight like a big weight had been lifted off both of our shoulders.
I didn't realize it before, but our chairs were pretty close together. Mark's eyes were glued to the computer, watching in awe as the us in the video hugged and kissed some more.
I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. I don't want to hear how I respond to this, because I probably said things I shouldn't of.
"I'm so glad you told me that. I really hope I remember that tomorrow." I said, kissing Marks cheek as he smiled, "I love your smile. Merk, so much has been going on in your life and, and you've been so strong, but I see you falter sometimes, and that's ok. I'm, I'm just glad I can still make you smile."
"With you here I don't have nightmares anymore and I never feel alone. So of course I'm smiling!" He exclaimed.
I cupped Mark's face and connected our lips again in the most adorable, loving, sweetest kiss I've ever seen.
"I think I might want to sleep in here tonight." I stated, pulling Mark's head down to my chest.
He let me rock him back and forth, looking like he was melting in to my hug.
"I would really like that."
