Surprisingly, it didn't take long for Mark to be out cold. Seems the day took out a lot more out of him than the man originally thought. He awoke the next morning sore and groggy. Slowly, he pull himself to sit up. Light peeking into the room from the nearby window told him it was at least mid-morning. Jack was snoring softly as he slept next to Mark. Mark's gaze travelled over to Jack, somewhat startled by the sight of him. Mark was still half-asleep and had forgotten that he had been sharing a bed. Coving his mouth quickly, he avoided waking up Jack with his not so quiet gasp. Once he was sure, Jack hadn't been disturbed, Mark's body relax, content to just observing the Irishman sleep. Jack shifted his position a little as he breathed at a steady rate it seemed as though the Irishman was a heavy-sleeper. Eventually, Mark pulled himself from staring at Jack and manage to carefully climb out of bed. The bed shifted as Mark moved; Jack began to wake rubbing his eyes and groaning slightly. Seeing how he had woken Jack, Mark cursed softly to himself, "oops..." Jack was still half asleep as he yawned "Huh?" he blinked a couple times as his eyes adjusted to the light. That was when he remembered he was at Mark's, not at home. Jack looked at Mark as he sat himself up "Oh...M-Mark...Morning..." Jack was not a morning person, his brain barely functioning at a proper rate "Morning Jack..." Mark said softly before smile a little cheekily. "Or should I say Top of the mornin' to ya..!" He teased, giving a half-hearted impression. The Irishman rolled his eyes with a soft chuckled "Mornin' is fine..." Jack rubbed his eyes as stretched. Something he wasn't good at was waking up on a morning. Mark chuckled as well "Do you want some coffee?" He asked, voice still quiet. Jack nodded as he laughed a little "You know me to well Mark...If ya want though. I could make some coffee while you get dressed." Mark smirked as he said "Naahh. You can get more rest if you want. I'll make coffee." He waved him off as the man started heading for the doorway. Jack took a few moments to allow himself to wake up a little more. Eventually getting himself out of bed. Jack made Mark's bed, straightening the duvet and fluffing up the pillows before putting his belt and t-shirt on leaving the t-shirt that Mark had left him borrow folded neatly on the bed. Jack made his way downstairs and into the kitchen to meet Mark.

By that time, Mark had finished with his first batch and was dishing up the eggs into a bowl. He peeked over at Jack over his shoulder. "Heh, good morning again..." Jack smiled as he laughed slightly "Morning again." Mark turned away from what he was doing briefly "There's mugs in the cabinet over there. Want some eggs?" Mark explained, pointing to the cabinet left of him. Jack looked at Mark with a soft smile as he wrapped his arms around Mark's waist and nuzzled his head against Mark's neck letting out a sigh "Ya didn't have to cook y'know..." Mark tensed up only briefly when Jack's arms made its way around him, before he relaxed. Mark hummed dreamily, nuzzling back a little. A warm and lazy smile forming on his features "Hmm... That depends on your answer. Because if you don't want them, I'll eat them!" Jack shook his head "I'm not hungry. But I do appreciate the offer." In truth Jack didn't really eat on a morning, he wasn't hungry but he didn't want Mark to think that he wasn't appreciative, because he was, Jack really did appreciate how hospitable Mark had been towards him. "You sure? It's not a big deal if you want them, I can always make more." Mark watched Jack, he wondered if Jack was worried about being needy. A kind smile played across his Jack's lips before he laid a gentle kiss on Mark's cheek saying "I'm sure but thank you nonetheless."

"Awww..." Mark couldn't hello cooing softly. He tried to return the kiss. Jack smirked softly as he laughed a little. "What are you laughing at? Hm?" Mark persisted, landing a kiss on the top of Jack's head. Jack shook his head as he replied "How adorable ya are." Mark looked at Jack a soft smirking beginning to pull at the corners of his mouth "I'm not adorable. I'm manly as hell!" Mark laughed, giving Jack more kisses. Jack chuckled as he said "Of course Markimoo."
