My Jackaboy - A Love Story

Monday

[this chapter is in Jack's point of view]

-

It was Monday morning, after a sleepless night on Skype with Mark that I never thought would happen, I invited him over to play video games and to see my house. I was really enthused to have him coming over as I hadn't ever really had a lot of friends growing up, plus it was what I'm pretty sure I would call a crush at this point.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

I jaunted to the door like a little dork at the sound of Mark's scrawny yet muscular arm hitting the door.

"Hiya mark !"

"Hi jack !"

"what are you doin' standing there like a deer in the headlights, gimme a hug"

I can't believe I just said that, do you know how gay he'll think I am, I'm bi and I promise there's a difference. whatever, that was the best hug I think I have ever received.

We walked into my retro style sunken living room and he sat on the couch just behind me, I walked up near the television, crouched down and turned on my ps2. I put in my favorite game, the shadow of the colossus and he was in awe with the graphics it had possessed for a PlayStation 2 game.

I sat down on the couch next to him, well technically it was a love seat since it only sat two, we had about a foot of space in between us but that changed over the next thirty minutes. The thirty minutes it took for us to get that close were me teaching him how to play, by the time I finished my instruction he had no space between us.

"here it is Mark, are you ready ?"

"more ready than I'll ever be Jack"

I then proceeded to watch him play shadow of the colossus doing impressively well for a first time player. and just like that, boom. he had encountered a colossi, within seconds the tension of the game had went from nothing to the only thing. 

"you got this mark" I rested my hand on his thigh. he glanced at me while doing so and I could hear his breathing start to slip a little bit. he tried and tried and tried to beat it, he did this for about forty minutes and then he lightly but angered set the controller down and said "i'm done. that's it, I can't do it."

"awh, Marki, don't be sad, it's only your first time." I got up and clicked the off button on the ps2. I popped up the sunken floor and the flight of stairs to my bedroom to grab my laptop and my HDMI cord.

I set it down, plugged it in, then I put on a movie. Can't remember what it was I was too busy looking at his face, looking at him. He was really stressed over the game so i figured, crush aside, moral support is good so I wrapped my arm around him and said "it's okay, there's always next time baby boy" Oh shit. i just said baby bo-

He kissed me.

 At first I was surprised, but after a few short seconds I had accepted it, he pulled me closer with the arm I had went under to give him moral support and he soon had me on his lap, I could feel it through his sweats, I wasn't planning on going that far any time soon. I's sure he saw mine as I never really wear anything other than sweats, we just sat on the couch and made out, it got to the point of french kissing and neck kissing, no hickies or love bites, I could tell neither of us were into that.

 Once we were done doing what I would call "passionately making out" we just cuddled on the couch watching movies til' about 2-3 pm when we both got hungry. Neither us were super experienced cooks so I made us ramen noodles. As it grew closer to evening the house was getting colder so we migrated to my surprisingly tidied bedroom, not many people expect my room to be as clean as it is for how lazy I come off. We wrapped up in my comforter, him facing me and vice versa. We both woke up at about 6 pm looking each other so softly in the tired eyes when my mother came in the house.
