Poppies (A Septiplier AU)✔

Jack's POV

Mark just stood there, hair dripping onto his shirt.

We started walking towards each other, slowly, reaching each other in the middle of the room. How did he know what song I was singing? Oh well I don't care. He was standing in front of me, staring into my eyes and I was probably doing the same thing.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him. I can't do this. I wouldn't do this. Not to Mark. He was my only friend but he so obviously had feelings for me. I don't know what to do. I'd always tease him and I was now feeling the impact of my decisions.

I kept staring into his deep brown eyes, wanting to just sink into them even though my mind was fighting back the urge.  I placed an arm round his neck, letting him pull me closer to him. His warm breath on my neck sent shivers down my spine. It was amazing.

"Jack," he whispered in my ear.

"Yeah Mark?" The moonlight from outside was beaming down on his face, giving him a blue glow that only made me more enchanted by him.

He turned away for a second then looked into my eyes, a look of pure happiness on his face

"May I kiss you now?" The world stopped, all there was me and Mark in this moment.

I leaned forward until our lips met. Sparks flew around us as the room again filled with the sweet scent of poppies and lilac. His kiss was warm and caring. Why did I let myself fall from reality? What would people think of me now? 

This moment is one I'll never forget and I knew it. It was too perfect for this world. He was too perfect for this world.

Our lips detached from each other's and we stood there, in an eternal phase. Not moving or wanting to move at all.

After our moment had ended, I flopped on the small couch in the dorm and turned on the TV and Play Station.

"What game do you want to play?" I said grabbing another controller and tossing it to Mark.

"Rocket League?"

"Why not" I agreed. I scrolled to find the game and started it up.

Some really sweet jams started playing in the background as the menu popped up.

"Let's do this!" I said starting up a new match.

"I'll be on orange!" Mark yelled even though he was sitting right next to me.

A little while later, we were extremely engrossed in the game.

"Fight me scrub lord, I'm ripped!" I screamed at Mark.

"Woah there brother." he replied.

The rage fest and fits of laughter went on for a couple hours until we started to fall asleep.

"What time is it?" Mark said, stretching out his arms and yawning.

I grabbed my phone off the arm rest and read the time aloud. "One thirty-two a.m."

Another yawn escaped his mouth, then mine.

"Bedtime for the Markimoo." I said, smiling at the red hair boy half asleep on the couch next to me.

"Ha ha, very cute." he stared at me, a huge grin on his face. I felt my face get hot and he just smiled more until I burst out laughing.

"You're so cute Jackieboy." he leaned over and kissed my cheek. Then he stood and got ready for bed.

I got up and also got ready for bed, keeping an eye on Mark as he got into bed too.

"I hope I never lose you. Because I know I need you but,"

"But what Jack?"

"But I don't know how long you can deal with me. I'm such a horrible person and you deserve better than me. Are you sure you wanna even be my boyfriend?"

The room went silent for a while. "I really do want to be with you Jack, I really do. You have no idea how much I do. You aren't a horrible person. I promise you I won't leave no matter how much I have to go through to be with you." I started to tear up a little bit. Why does he care so much about me? I'm just an idiot who moved here from Ireland.

I felt like a fool, leading  him into a trap that he would never return from. I was like a black hole. What am I going to do when he finds out about my past and starts to leave me? What if he does leave me? Who else will be there for me.

I was now crying again but I knew he wouldn't comfort me again. He was fast asleep snoring a little bit. It was cute I'll admit but, I still didn't know how the future would go. But I do know that however the next couple of weeks goes, I'm gonna hold on to him tightly. I won't let him go. I won't let him down or at least I'll try. No more drinking. No more drugs. I was going to focus on me and him, together as one.

It's been a couple of months since school started and spring break was coming up soon. I had to stay here with some other kids on campus to catch up on work that I had missed while Mark had to go back to Cincinati to see his family. I was going to miss him, I knew that, but I was going to make the most out of the time I had left with him.

I began to drift asleep to the sound of Mark's light snoring and the soft breeze blowing through the window.

             *                  *                 *

"Wakey-wakey Jackaboy." I woke up to the smell of coffee, which was magnificent.

"Mmmm. Lovely Markimoo. When did you get up?" He glaced at m and grabbed the cup of caffeine of the table and handed it to me, along with a jelly filled doughnut.

"An hour or two ago I think." he smiled at me with a big toothy grin that only made me smile back at him.

"You always get up so early and I don't understand why."

"Because I have a morning schedule. Hurry up and eat so we can go work out."

"We?" I asked, a perplexed look on my face.

"Yes we are going to go work out. I was planning on swimming so grab your suit."

Today was going to be a good day, I could feel it.
