Mark and Jackson were allowed to settle in after Mr. Tuan had come to say hello. The young males had just been laying in bed when the blondes eyes fluttered shut. With a small smile, Mark's hand delicately caressed the blondes cheek before he pulled the younger in closer. After placing a blanket over the both of them, Mark felt his own eyes become heavy and drifted to sleep.

Mark found himself in a field of daisies, just laying on a soft bed of the pretty white flowers. Mark looked towards the baby blue sky, the sun shining delicately over the field. 

The brunette sat up, leaning back on his hands. Looking around, Mark noticed a glimmering lake with a blonde male standing nearby. The only feeling Mark had was to go to him. That the blonde man needed him. 

Making his way over to the blonde, the sunlight covered every part of the guys face aside from a smile that was almost brighter than the sun itself. The other males smile was so contagious that Mark felt a smile grow on his own lips.  

The boy grabbed Mark's hand and laced their fingers together. Looking down at his hands, Mark felt as though it was a rather familiar feeling. At that moment, the blonde boy dipped his head, kissing their tethered fingers. The revealing action showing Jackson smiling back at Mark. 

As Jackson, stood back up, the sun began setting, allowing Mark to look at Jackson's face. 

Jackson smiled, "I never want this to end."  The blondes confession made Mark smile.

"Never  ever." He said before dipping his head lower to capture Jackson's lips.

Mark's eyes shot open as he heard a squeal that was so high pitched that he wasn't sure what kind of banshee was trying to kill him. 

Blinking rapidly, Mark's eyes locked onto the creature that caused him to wake up from such a nice dream. Tammy. His older sister stood with a hand over her mouth, eyes wide with some sort of happy look until she saw the glare that Mark was giving her. 

That was a really nice dream. Mark wanted more time in it. 

The brunette felt shuffling next to him, instantly realizing that he was indeed married to Jackson. That dream was his actual life. 

Mark smiled at Jackson, pulling the blonde into his grip, before he remembered that he was awoken by his banshee sister. Mark's eyes narrowed back towards the door, his sister with a smug smile lining her features. 

"Mom invited us.. It's time for the party! So get dressed! We're going swimming!" Tammy yelled happily, leaving the room. Mark sighed, happy that he and Jackson were alone again. 

"Do you like swimming?" 

Nearly an hour later, the only thing that could be heard was the laughter of all the Tuan's thanks to the charismatic and funny man that Jackson Wang was. 

Jackson warmed right up to the Tuan's. He began to tell stories about his few days in Korea with Mark, along with stories of when he was in China. Jackson even did a bit of dancing, which he also exposed that he nearly went to school for. 

Mark was pleased, to say the least. Not only did his family like Jackson, but he was also finding out more about him. 

As darkness fell on the Tuan residence, his siblings left or went to bed, leaving his parents, Jackson and himself still out by the pool. 

Mr. Tuan smiled, "I like him, Mark. He seems to be good for you." The greying man said nodding his head happily. Mrs. Tuan followed along, her nods much faster and a smile so large that her eyes were almost nonexistent. 

"Jackson, you're the best thing to happen to our Markie. Much better than any of the girls he tried to date. And you're so much nicer." Mrs. Tuan admitted, voicing her true feelings about the girls the brunette had brought home before.  Mark's head hung, slightly ashamed of the girls he dated before.

Jackson reached over to Mark, lacing their fingers together before letting out a small chuckle. "I like you, well you whole family as well. I like Mark a bit more, though." He said, sending a wink to Mrs. Tuan to emphasize how much he liked Mark. 

"And that's our cue, dear." Mr. Tuan said standing from his seat, pulling his wife with him, bringing her inside and away from his son and son-in-law.  Mark sighed, slightly relieved that there was no more embarrassment for the day. 

Jackson stood rather suddenly, grabbing the brunette's attention. "wha--" Mark started when Jackson picked him up bridal style, walking towards the pool. "n-no! Jackson, don't throw me in the water!" Mark tried whining to get out of it. 

That was when he felt the warmth of Jackson leave and the cool rush of the water submerge him. When he resurfaced, he heard another splash. Opening his eyes, he noticed the most adorable blonde alligator approaching him. 

Jackson was just visible from the bridge of his nose and up as he narrowed the gap between himself and Mark. Mark smiled as he drifted back slightly, causing Jackson to surface and splash Mark, "You were supposed to stay there!" He laughed. 

"I was supposed to stay dry!" Mark retorted. 

Jackson shook his head no, "I like you more when you're wet." The blonde smirked as Mark took in the words he said. 

"Biàntài!" Mark shouted, too shocked that Jackson would actually say such a statement. Jackson let out a cackle as he caught the slack-jawed brunette.

Mark snapped out of his shocked expression as he felt Jackson's arms snake around him. He felt a small smile make its way to his lips. Mark liked being in Jackson's arms just as  much as he liked the younger in his own arms. 

Jackson smiled towards Mark, placing a short kiss on his lips, " I don't want this to end..You'll never get rid of me, right?" Jackson asked, a hopeful smile still plastered to his lips

Mark was rather surprised Jackson would ask such a question. The brunette placed his thumb under Jackson's chin, pulling him closer. 

Leaning in towards Jackson's lips, Mark's eyes stayed focused on the blonde's. Quietly, yet loud enough for Jackson to hear, Mark said the only two words that could answer the blonde's question.

"Never Ever.."
