It's Too Late (Septiplier)

25.

~Jack~

Not long after I had laid down on the bed, I heard the door to Mark's room creak open and close. I then felt the bed sink a bit as Mark laid down next to me. I felt his presence beside me and he wrapped his arms around my skinny frame.

"Mark, lately you have been very, how do I put this? Um, seem like you want to be very close at all times, or that you really want to have contact with me a lot."

"What can I say, you're really cute," Mark murmured sleepily, snuggling his face into my back. I felt my face flush and I started getting flustered. Did he just call me cute? But I thought he was straight?

"M-Mark? Are you talking to me, o-or are you dreaming?" I asked stumbling on my words a bit.

"I'm talking to you." He said bluntly. I felt my cheeks burn even more red when he told me he was talking about me. He lifted his head and looked and peered over at me. I saw his sleepy smirk when he saw how flustered I was.

"You were very nice at dinner Jack. My parents said they liked you," Mark started rambling, changing the subject, "And I'm sorry I got mad at you for lying. I understand that you were uncomfortable talking about that stuff with my parents."

"Th-thanks, and I'm sorry for causing such a ruckus before and during dinner." Mark grabbed onto me and held my jaw, making it so my face was at the same level as his, and that I was looking at him straight in the eyes.

"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault." I felt my face go red from his touch and how sensitive Mark can really be.

"I-I," I start but before I could finish, I felt something soft press against my lips. I blush as I register what it was, it was Mark's lips. He is kissing me. A wonderful feeling coursed through me as I started kissing back. It felt unreal, like nothing I've ever felt before. I felt passion, care, and his infatuation in me through that kiss. It shot sparks of adrenaline through my blood, and I loved every second of it.

When he finally pulled away he looked at me, and smiled. I gave him a little giddy smile back.

"Jack you're do fucking adorable!" He giggled as he pulled me closer to him and cuddled me. We stayed cuddled for a long time until Mark broke the silence.

"Jack, will you be my boyfriend?" He asked, his chocolate brown eyes and sweet nature melted my heart and I couldn't bare to say no to him.

"Yes!" Mark smiled brightly and gave me another kiss, shorter, but just as sweet. I leaned onto him once he pulled away. My head rested up against his chest and his head rested on top of my head. After a while of laying like this, I spoke up.

"This was something I didn't expect to happen today, or ever." I murmured.

"Well it just felt natural after you asked me why I was always trying to cuddle with you," Mark explained, "I guess I never really thought about my actions."

"I would hope it's natural, because we don't want a relationship built over lies." I said looking up into Mark's soothing eyes. Mark nodded in agreement and we continued cuddling content with our short bursts of conversation.

We laid there for a while, and I started to drift off to sleep as I listened to the steady heartbeats in Mark's chest. But then I heard his voice and the low rumbles that vibrated in his chest when he spoke, I was woken up again.

"Jack?"

"Hmm?" I responded sleepily.

"In a few days you are going to have return to school, you know that right?" Mark asked.

"What!" I was very aware now, and I hated it. I was scared to go back, there was no doubt that there were rumors spread about my absence, and I knew that James, Matt, and Milo wanted to kick my ass because they have nothing else better to do.
