Mark sat up in the middle of the night. He was having a nightmare, a scary one at that. Jack woke up at the sound of Mark's screams. He tried to wake Mark up, but Mark was still asleep. He was thrashing around crazily, no control whatsoever. Jack just took Mark into his arms until Mark finally calmed. He then gently woke Mark up and asked him what the nightmare was about.
Mark looked up at him with a tear-soaked face. The strong brave man that Jack knew was not the man looking at him now. It was the quiet, innocent and calm Mark that he was holding.
Jack held Mark in his arms until they both fell asleep again.

Jack awoke to the smell of breakfast. His stomach growled, reminding him that he needed to eat. He walked out into the kitchen and looked at Mark. He was glistening with sweat and his hair was all messy. He looked hot. Apparently, Mark had worked out before making breakfast.
Jack walked behind him and wrapped his arms around Mark's waist. Mark smiled. When breakfast was ready, they ate together on the couch. Afterwards, they decided to watch a movie. Mark picked the movie, and much to Jack's dismay, it was a horror movie. It was titled 'The Other Side of the Door'. Seemed good.
There were some jumpscares, and when Jack was frightened, he would nuzzle his head into Mark. Mark loved every minute. Mark decided that they would watch horror movies more often. The movie ended.
"My turn ta pick somethin." Said Jack.
He put a blindfold on Mark and led him into the bedroom. Its not hard to guess what Jack had in mind...
He took off Mark's blindfolds and made him sit on the bed.
"Because of all tha stress in the past couple of days, I'll do... Anything. Anything ya want. Tonight, I want you to feel special." Jack declared.
Mark thought about it, and decided on something.
Something fun...
