He Makes It Better

(Mark's POV) 

I woke up with a startle, and Jack was right in bed beside me. He woke up just as quickly as I did, and frantically asked me if I was alright. 

"I-I had a nightmare," I panted. 
"What about?" he asked. 

So, I explained that it was about him breaking up with me over Felix and Yami, then Yami and I got back together. 

"Why would I do that to ya," he asked. "Felix has Marzia, first of all. And, ya said you and Yami needed space. Besides, I love ya too much to lose ya. And I wouldn't leave you for anyone." 

I smiled and snuggled back up to him. He kissed me lightly on my forehead and ran his fingers through my hair gently. 

"I love you," I tell him. 
"I love ya too, babe," he smiled. "And you seem stressed. Let me try something." 

I felt him start to massage my back, and I felt immediate stress relief... 

"Good?" he asks. 
"Yes..." I smile. 
"I thought that would work." 

I love him, so much. He knows how to make everything better. After a few minutes, he stopped and turned on some cartoons, then went downstairs. I was confused at first, until he came back upstairs with some tea. 

"Aww," I smile. "Thank you, babe..." 
"No problem," he grinned. "I've realized you've been a bit stressed lately, so today will be yer day, alright?" 

I smiled at him. He was so sweet, and I really don't deserve him. He reassures me that I do, but still... But that's besides the point. What matters is that we love each other. And that will always be what matters...
