PART 3/3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A blanket was fastened tightly around him. He stared off out the window, the drugs still pumping heavily through his blood. He felt dazed, almost confused and all he wanted to do was sleep. Mark gripped the steering wheel, nervously glancing towards Jack with worry. Blood had dried on his knuckles, and Mark had tried to push the image of the older mans broken nose out of his mind. He couldn't stop himself, what he did to Jack made Mark's blood boil. He gripped the steering wheel tighter when he glanced at Jack, shaking in the passenger seat. Mark eventually parked in his driveway and moved to get Jack from the passenger seat. Felix emerged from the house and made his way to the car. Mark opened the passenger side door and Jack merely looked at him with a dazed, faraway expression. 

"Jack?" Mark asked, looking down at him before exchanging a nervous glance with Felix. 

"What happened?" Felix asked, looking down at Jack concerned. 

"He got drugged and nearly raped when he went to this bar. I'm guessing that whatever that guy used on Jack is pretty strong." Mark says, moving towards Jack. Jack held his arms up for Mark to lift him, and Mark felt his heart leap into his throat when he saw Jack waiting to be held by him. Mark held Jack bridal style to his chest and carried him inside, followed by Felix. Mark carried him into his room, and laid Jack down on the bed. 

"Just get some sleep o-okay? Do you need anything? A glass of water?" Mark asked and Jack looked towards him, blinking. He finally shook his head, and Mark nodded nervously. 

"If you need anything, I'll be in the living room okay?" Mark said and Jack only nodded, as Mark shuffled out of the room. He slumped on the couch next to Felix. 

"So what the fuck happened?" He asked and Mark lolled his head to look at him. 

"One minute I was looking for Jack, the next he was calling me and being like raped." Mark explained and a mixture of shock and anger crossed onto Felix's features. 

"Where is he? The guy who tried to rape Jack?" Felix asked and Mark shrugged, picking off the blood across his fingers. 

"Dunno." Mark said and Felix's eyes drifted to his hands, but he didn't say anything. They sat in silence and Mark couldn't help but feel like shit. It was his fault. If he didn't push Jack, if he didn't upset him he would have never ended up at that bar. None of this would have happened if it wasn't for Mark. He leaned his head against the back of the couch, feeling his eyes grow heavier and heavier until they get pulled shut.

Jack's eyes fly open, wandering around the dark room. He groans and sits up, his head pounding. He doesn't feel nearly as lightheaded as before, and his arms and legs don't feel as heavy. He scrunches his fingers and stretches them out, making sure everything is working right. He pushes the blankets back, feeling his throat dry. He carefully wanders out into the living room, seeing Mark on the couch soundly. Felix is nowhere to be seen, maybe he left already. Or was he even here at all? Jack was so out of it he isn't even sure. Jack moves into the kitchen and tries to grab a glass, noticing it's just out of reach. The kitchen light suddenly flicks on and Jack whirls around to see Mark standing in the entrance. 

"I'll get it." Mark says, and Jack moves to the side. Mark reaches up and grabs a glass, handing it to Jack. 

"Thank you." He says softly filling the glass with water, before sitting at the kitchen table. 

"How are you feeling?" Mark asks, propping himself against a counter. Jack keeps his eyes on the water, swallowing. 

"Better." He says simply and Mark bites the inside of his cheek. 

"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asks at last. Memories come flooding into Jack's mind, making him shudder in disgust.

"N-no." He stammers, still not looking at Mark. 

"I'm sorry Jack." Mark says, making Jack finally look up at him. 

"For what?" He asks, confused. 

"This is all my fault. If I hadn't upset you, this wouldn't have happened." Mark told him, tears in his eyes. Jack remained silent, swallowing through heavy breaths as his eyes drifted down the wall back to the floor. He stands carefully moving towards Mark, who remains unaware. Jack moves in front of him, wrapping his arms around Mark's neck. Mark freezes before he winds his arms around Jack's waist. Jack leans forward and presses a short sweet kiss to Mark's lips, taking him by surprise. He only looks at Jack when he pulls back. They look into each others eyes for a moment, trying to decipher what the other is thinking. Jack decides to let go of his fear, knowing that Mark has never done anything to prove him to be untrustworthy. 

"Mark I love you." Jack breathes and Mark feels his heart swell. 

"I love you." Mark tells him, winding his arms tighter around his waist, bringing Jack's face into his neck. 

"How long?" Mark asks in a hushed tone, not wanting to ruin the calm quiet atmosphere. 

"A while." Jack whispers, pressing a kiss to Mark's shoulder. 

"You?" He asks Mark, who chuckles. 

"A while." He says lowly, and he feels Jack smile against his skin. 

"Jack will you be mine?" Mark asks and he feels his heart beat at the gnawing silence that follows his question. 

"I've always been yours." Jack says, moving his head to look at Mark again. There's a certain calming effect that Jack has over Mark, while at the same time a brush of Jack's skin against Mark's can send electricity through him. 

"Jack I'm sorry though." Mark says again, needing to hear that he's forgiven. 

"It's not your fault, it's mine. I'm too emotional." Jack says and Mark shakes his head in protest. 

"There is nothing wrong with you. This is on me." Mark insists and Jack begins to protest when Mark speaks again. 

"Please just say you forgive me." Mark begs and Jack sighs. 

"Of course I forgive you. I'll always forgive you. You saved me you doof." Jack says with a smile. Mark returns the smile, pressing his lips against Jack's again. 

"I love kissing you." He tells Jack, who blushes. 

"I love it when you kiss me." Jack says with a burning face, causing Mark to laugh and pull him closer.
