G/t: The Gentle Giant

Chapter Sixteen: Hot and Steamy

Jack's POV

I reached down and picked up my bag from the ground, even though I was grateful that Mark had tagged along it still left me with a gut wrenching feeling. Such as what if he had listened and not came, I wouldn't be out of this mess or I would be alone with Matthias. Needless to say I wasn't going to trust him so easily, even though he didn't hurt Mark when he found him. 

I held Mark close to my chest while I followed Matthias, he was talking about something, I think it was the facility but I wasn't paying attention, mainly due to the fact I was disoriented. I felt Mark tug on my shirt so I looked down, "Hey, are you okay? You seem to be dazed." He had a very concerned look on his face, 'Yeah, I am alright, just dizzy.' He shook his head, and turned to face Matthias, "Hey Matthias! I think Jack needs a break." Matthias stopped and nodded before sitting on the ground I soon followed. 

We sat in silence for a few minutes before I decided to stand up, Matthias looked at me and then got up too, thus continuing our journey. We finally got to the front of the building and he unlocked the metal door, we then headed to his car, "So where do you live so I can drop you off?" I told him my street and he started to drive towards it. 

While looking outside the window of his car I started to pet Mark's back, both to comfort him and myself. He didn't complain so I continued just softly stroking his back, several times I included petting his head. We had been through a lot today Mark and I, but it was nothing a nice, warm bath couldn't fix. 

Matthias finally got to our street and I opened the door, we said our goodbyes and no offense to him but I would rather not see him ever again. I walked down the street to our house and unlocked the door. The first thing I did was go to my room and put Mark on the bed. I then went to the closet and pulled out some comfy clothing, before picking up Mark again.

 I entered the bathroom and put Mark on the sink, while the water was filling up in the bathtub Mark looked concerned. "Are.. are we going to bath together..?" I looked at him and smirked, 'Well, I mean we will have our boxers on, it is just so we can both relax and get out some of today's stress.' He raised and eyebrow and then nodded "Okay." 

I turned off the tap and then stripped down to my boxers Mark soon followed, it was a bit awkward but I was so stressed I pushed that to the back of my mind. I put my palm on the sink and Mark climbed on, I stepped into the bath slowly lowering myself into the water. I then hovered my hand over the water so Mark could prep himself. He asked me to lower my hand so I did and he relaxed in the warm water, we stayed in the tub for almost an hour before we finally got out. 

Mark's POV

The bath was a little awkward but once we relaxed that tension left and was replaced with comfort. We got out and dried off, I only had a few changes of clothes but I changed into a new outfit as did Jack. Once we were both done we went into his living room where we decided to watch a movie, this time however he set up a place for me to sit on the table. 

After we watched the movie we went into his room and slept just like every night before. The night went by fast so when I woke up I didn't feel satisfied with the amount of sleep I received. Jack was awake before me so when I woke up he was just staring up at the ceiling, it was kind of creepy. 'Morning Jack' he looked down at me and smiled "Morning Mark, you ready for breakfast?" I nodded and he slowly got up.

This time however I opted out of making food with Jack, it was fun an all but I would prefer not to be included in the meal. Jack understood and set me on the table so I could watch him make food. "What are you in the mood for?" I thought for awhile, 'Do you have bacon? Because Bacon and Eggs sounds really good right now.' He opened the freezer and pulled out a pack of bacon, the took out three eggs out of the fridge. 

I watched as the bacon sizzled in the pan, I could smell the greasy deliciousness from the table. After the bacon was done cooking he then fried the eggs with the bacon grease. When he brought it to the table I licked my lips, "Mark I know this smells good but you might want to let it cool off first." He then giggled at me and put a piece of egg on the fork, blew on it then brought it towards my face. "Say ahhh" I glared at him and was going to speak but he shoved egg in my mouth. 

I ate it then stared at him before speaking, 'You do know I can feed myself right?' He smirked, "I know, it is just this is very greasy and you got a bath last night." I mumbled to myself but he was right and I let him continue to feed me like a child. 

We finished breakfast and Jack had to do his recording for his channel since his pre-recorded list was running low. He placed me in the guest bedroom while he went into his recording room and I got bored so I decided to take a nap on a pillow. Deciding that after my nap I would explore as I haven't in a while.
