Chapter Eight: Summer Heat

Hey kids want some fluff? aye it is like almost midnight but idc insomnia is a biatch xD

Mark's POV

After my small encounter with Felix I figured it was probably best to not go out for a few days, and since Jack had given me all those goodies I didn't have a real reason to. Except for reasons like uh going to the bathroom that no one knows how we tiny people do it. *wink* 

So I mainly just stayed in my home, munching on food, maybe getting a little depressed but ya know the loneliness taught me something. That life is to short to be afraid, even if the thing you are afraid of has a good reason behind it. This and the stress of being cooped up is what lured me out after a week being in my home, also it was extremely hot. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a late afternoon, it was maybe 75 degrees outside, for some odd reason Jack had the windows open so the temperature in the walls was about 10 degrees hotter. So, I went out of my home in just my underwear because I didn't have a shirt and I was trying to cool off. 

I decided to head to Jack's bathroom, it took me several tries but I managed to turn on the light and plug up the hole in the bottom of the sink. Now the hard part, turning on the water.. I thought about calling Jack but he was in his room doing something so I pushed the knob and it turned on. Cold water poured and splashed on my face knocking me into the sink. Thankfully I was able to get out and turn it off leaving me a nice cold pool of water. I smiled at a job well done and hoped Jack wouldn't come and turn the light off. 

I swam for awhile in the cool water, I got distracted and didn't notice the shadow overcast from Jack. "Ye could have called me in here ya know. I could have helped." He chuckled and smiled down at me, "Ya really are a big goof, Mark." I watched Jack leave the bathroom after that and was glad he wasn't upset at me or anything. 

He came back a little bit later with something in his hand, "I got bored the other day and decided to make these for you once you came out of hiding. Since it is so hot today it is perfect timing." He showed me a shirt and pair of shorts before placing them on the counter as well as a rag. "I am really glad you are feeling better, how is your leg?" I did my best to show him my leg, "You can barely see anything if that says anything," I laughed trying to lighten the mood as he wore a frown. He gasped and bounced up and down "DID YOU GET MY GIFT I LEFT YOU?!" I nodded and he laughed before exiting again. 

After I finished swimming I wasn't able to climb back out of the sink, mainly because I overdid it and my muscles were tired. So, I just floated and waited for Jack to return, it didn't take long before I heard a door open and Jack's footsteps. He came back in and I lifted my arms while making grabby motions with my hands, his face turned to confusion, "is that like your lazy way of communicating you want a lift?" I gave him a pout-y face and he gently scooped me up and placed me on a counter. 

I watched as he drained the sink and handed me the rag, "Now dry up I wanna show you something." I dried myself and got changed, he turned his back to me of course. "Okay, I am ready now," he lowered his palm and I climbed on, this time he did something a bit different and placed me in his shirt pocket. "HEY! YOU COULD'VE AT LEAST WARNED ME!" He laughed and I could feel the vibrations from his chest, "Sorry Mark." I watched at he walked to the front door, "Wait.. you're not taking me outside are you?!" I looked up and a smirk was plastered on his face. "fuck.." 

A/N Sorry this one is a bit short, I was late writing this since my dog is having complications with pregnancy. The next one will be longer and full of extreme cuteness as well as a new character, I will give you a hint, he is smol and they call him the blue boi. ;P I hope you noticed my new found actually trying to add accent to Jack's dialogue. I have tried this before but it sucked and here is to hoping it gets better. See you in the next chapter.
