WE HIT 1K ON THIS STORY! WHOOOOOO
Mark's pov
I walked into my cold home. I let out a small sigh as I placed my keys on the kitchen bench and took my jacket off. Chills crept down my body as cold air sank into my skin and goosebumps formed down my arms.

I ran a hand through my dark hair and headed towards my bedroom. I'd spent the whole day dealing with drunk drivers, speeders and idiots in general. I stopped at the door and decided to take a quick shower to wash away the sweat that lingered in my skin.

I changed direction and headed to the bathroom, turning on the shower and letting it heat up for a bit. I chucked my dirty uniform into the corner and stepped into the steamy shower, letting the condensation fill my lungs before adjusting the temperature and letting the water wash over my body.

I shut the water off and grabbed a towel to dry myself. I wrapped it around my waist and made my way to my bedroom, finding myself some clothes to sleep in. Even though my house felt cold I decided to sleep without a shirt tonight. The air conditioner shuts off around midnight and the house heats up quickly in the mornings.

"Mark?" A tired voice asked through the closed door. I rubbed my face before answering the door. Cry's unmasked face greeted me with a soft smile.

"Hey Cry. What's up?" I asked with a yawn.

"Is Felix off work yet?" He asked, seeming slightly worried. I frowned as his worry washed into me.

"He got off work an hour ago," I said, checking the time quickly.

"Damn him. He hasn't answered my texts and I'm worried. After everything that happened I don't like it when he's alone and I don't know where he is," Cry said, clearly distressed.

"Hey, it's okay. Felix is a tough guy. He'll be alright," I reassured just as a car door closed outside. Both heads turned towards the front door and a smile formed on my face. "I bet that's him now."

Cry ran over to the door and opened it without any hesitation. I followed when he didn't go through and peered over his shoulder to see Felix helping someone out of his car. My heart stopped when I saw who it was. Deep blue eyes met mine and I felt instantly lost. I couldn't stop the smile that formed on my face and saw his lips tug upward a little.

"Nice seeing you again," I said with a chuckle.

'You too' they signed back, being unable to speak still.

"I thought you'd like a cuddle buddy since you've been jealous of me and Cry lately and this one happened to be allowed out of the hospital today. But be gentle with him aye, not to tight with the hugs," Felix said with a cheeky smirk. I chuckled and shook my head, helping his escort the young male in our arms.

"Good to see you Jack. It's been so long," Cry said, giving the small Irishman a hug. His smile became more visable and he gave a slight nod in agreement.

"So, pizza and movies?" I asked, not feeling sleepy anymore. They all nodded in agreement and we were soon sitting in front of the tv with netflix loaded and pizza in our hands.

'Hey guys?' Jack signed after he'd gained all of our attention before the movie started. We all turned to him and he took a deep breath, as if preparing himself for something nerve-wracking.

"T-thank you," He whispered. His voice shook and you could barely hear it but the fact that he said anything after the doctors said he'd never speak again was amazing. I watched as he bit his bottom lip before I leaned forward and gave his a soft kiss onto of his head.

He looked up at me with twinkling eyes and a smile slowly formed on his lips. Cry, who was sitting on the other side of Jack, gave him a slight nudge to show his own support and Felix gave him a bro fist. Then, Jack returned his gaze to me and seemed like he wanted to say more.

"What is babe?" I asked and he looked straight into my eyes. He opened his mouth and was silent for a moment before three words left his lips.

"I love you." They were clear and he hadn't stuttered once. It showed how much he meant it and I felt like the world had stopped just for this one second.

"I love you too, Sean," I said, watching as his eyes seemed to shine in the darkness and his smile widened. I loved seeing his smile and wanted it to never fade. In seconds he had leaned forward and connected our lips in a passionate kiss. I felt his body relax in my arms and our bodies fit together like puzzle pieces.

"Get a room!" Felix called from behind us and I pulled away, peering over Jack's shoulder.

"We're in one. The living room," I shot back and smirked when he stumbled over his words in response. Cry and Jack giggled before Cry silence Felix with a kiss of their own. Felix seemed shocked once Cry pulled away and his eyes flickered down to his lover.

Both men smiled before Felix kissed Cry this time and I pressed play to the movie, allowing everyones attention to turn to the glowing light in front of us. After a few minutes I heard soft snores coming from beside me and looked down to find Jack asleep. I looked over to see Cry was also asleep and chuckled softly. Felix turned to me with in confusion before relising what I was laughing at and smiled.

"Guess all the kisses and cuddles wore them out," He said with a chuckle of his own.

"Yeah. And they've been in a bed all day," I said, making us both laugh quietly. The room fell silent and Felix let out a yawn, in which I followed up soon after.

"Guess it wore us out too. Time for bed?" Felix said, his eyes falling shut.

"Yeah," I said softly, turning the tv off and going to sleep.

Sorry this is late. I've been busy helping my older sister with her assignment since she's not feeling well and I'm also sleep deprived so that doesn't help either.



SHOULD I END IT HERE THOUGH?!?!
