Chapter Ten: Short Kisses and Shorter Glances

Hey there guys!

I'm super excited about all the feedback that you're giving me! It literally makes me smile. :D

Keep up with the feed back and comments. I love ever bit of it. But as an update on my Once Upon a Ship series. I'm currently working on a JeongCheol fic and after that will be a Vmin as per request. I'm very excited about how both of them are coming out and I hope you'll like them as well.

So, without further adieu, Markson :3

Get a hold of yourself, Mark..

Mark thought as he slid on boxers and a pair of tight fitting pants. He couldn't help but look at the spot in front of his door in a different way. How long had they been kissing to make his lips that swollen looking? Mark's fingers delicately traced his lips. What was he doing?

Mark left his room, stepping around where the pair's bodies were just meshed together and sat on the couch, scrolling through his phone. Instagram notifications from Yugyeom and Bam Bam had been blowing up his phones notifications.

He saw the multitude of notifications showing the lantern festival. A few videos of different sculptures and the people viewing them. One of the videos showed a flash of blonde being pulled into a blue lantern tunnel. Mark's breath hitched at the thought of their near kiss.

The bathroom door opened to reveal Jackson, face slightly flushed and hair wet. Mark exited out of the application in his phone and looking towards the blonde. Mark had to bite his lip at the raw sex appeal of Jackson's muscles with beads of water making small trails.

Mark let out a breath he wasn't aware he had been holding. "Want to watch a movie?" Mark always had movies in his home, though hardly ever watched them. "I have Finding Dory.. as silly as that is."

He knew it was awfully childish for a presumably straight man in his twenties having a child's movie, but he had loved Finding Nemo when he was younger, so when the sequel came to DVD, Mark was sure to buy it. What made him feel better was the excitement in the younger's eyes when he heard the title.

"Yes! I haven't watched it yet!" Jackson's raspy voice laced with the extreme excitement was enough to make Mark grin and allow a low chuckle to escape. Nodding, the brunette got off the couch and went to his overfilled DVD cabinet.

After placing the movie in his DVD player, Mark reclaimed his seat on the couch. Jackson was already nestled in comfortably on the couch, though shifted slightly closer to Mark as the brunette sat. Mark's eyes shifted to the blonde, quickly shifting back to the movies menu.

Pressing play, Mark glanced at his watch, the time reading 10:45 PM. It was later than Mark had thought it was. Oh well, a movie at this time was never a bad thing. Mark could remember countless nights with Jinyoung where they'd stay up all night watching movies and making fun of bad horror movies.

As the opening scene began to play through introducing, Mark's body relaxed a bit more. A sideways glance towards the blonde being easier at the new angle. Jackson appeared to be very interested in the recently released film, and hadn't noticed any of the looks that Mark sent his way. This was something that Mark was somewhat relieved to see happen.

With Jackson so involved with the movie, Mark was able to look at his 'husband' clearly, without looking too much like a creep. At the thought itself, Mark let out a small laugh, switching his eyes to the screen. Jackson glanced at Mark quickly, a smile on his face as well and returned his attention to the movie.

~~

The two were about halfway through the movie when Mark nodded off, his head falling onto Jackson's shoulder. Throughout the first half of the movie, Jackson was certain he could feel the brunette's eyes on him. Not that Jackson minded the attention.

Jackson looked over to the brunette's peaceful expression as he slept. The blonde had been extremely shock that Mark had suddenly kissed him, though once over that shock, Jackson was able to relax into the brunette's kisses. The feeling of the older male's body against him was rather arousing alone, but the fact that he had been naked aside from the towel around his hips had Jackson's mind racing.

The blonde smiled at the older. He was successful and handsome, not to mention he had a decent personality. Jackson's eyes darted to the brunette's lips. Ever since his lips had left Mark's earlier that was the only thing he could think about. Would Mark mind if he stole a kiss? Jackson bit his bottom lip, struggling internally to decide if it was okay.

As he watched Mark, with the movie continuing to play casting different colors all over the male's skin, bringing his mind back to the tunnel. The blue color casted on the pair was something out of a book. Jackson felt himself leaning forward. His body feeling magnetized and drawn to the brunette. Jackson paused, close enough to feel Mark's breath dusting over his own lips.

The situation was very much like earlier. Though there was no crash, and the pair weren't looking at each other wide eyed. Jackson couldn't help but think that Mark's face was almost more handsome up close like this. He had full and soft looking lips, a straight nose and such long eyelashes that women would be jealous of them. Jackson had been so focused on all of Mark's features he hadn't even noticed the brunette's eyes flutter open.

"What are you doing?" Mark's voice sounded, spooking the blonde that backed away instantly, clutching his heart in a dramatic way.

Jackson panicked slightly before daring to look into the deep brown eyes that belonged to the brunette. "Well, I.. I was making sure you weren't asleep. The movie is getting exciting." Jackson tried to play off, though by Mark's scrutinizing look, he was found out already.

Mark's smirk was both incredibly attractive and at the same time slightly worry-inducing. The brunette slid over closer to Jackson, "Were you looking at me a bit closer?" His low voice was just over a whisper, though made Jackson's heart race as he slowly nodded. "Why?" Mark smirked, allowing Jackson a bit of breathing room.

"I want to kiss you again." Jackson was rather surprised with his straightforward answer, but at the same time he was impressed he could say anything with the gaze that Mark had directed his way. Mark's smirk faltered a moment. He leaned forward, pressing their lips together for a brief second before he pulled away.

"You don't want to miss the movie, Right?" He asked, pulling the blonde into his side and leaning back into the couch, placing another short kiss on the younger's temple. Jackson felt the blush attack his cheeks, before he relaxed into the brunette's side.
