2:13 A.M insomnia - Markhyuck - COMPLETED

4:44 AM ~ Fever

After Taeyong went to pick Donghyuck up from school as he promised he had found out what happened in chemistry. He was worried for Donghyuck even though Mark was like his little brother // son. He let Donghyuck loose this time and told Mark that he'd have to take Donghyuck in for the night to clean his wounds and because NCT U had to work on their lyrics (other than mark who had already finished with his part and only had to record his now). Mark had agreed almost instantly due to him wanting to help Donghyuck if he had already caused such trouble by pushing him, and because those two had the funnest sleepovers. As Mark got ready with the movies and everything the doorbell rings, Mark opened it to find a very pale Donghyuck standing there "oh my god are you okay?" Mark asked standing there in shock for a moment. Donghyuck had been paler than he's ever seen, his nose and lips were cover by a face mask but he could hear him sniffling from under it. His eyes were sunken down and eyelids were droopy and if you looked close you could see his eyes were a bit more red than usual, his hair was a mess to say it nicely and looked like it had been attacked by birds. Donghyuck groaned out a small "im tired and I have a headache and I feel like sh*t too" Mark nodded understanding and lead Donghyuck inside. Donghyuck plopped down on the couch and pulled the fluffy blanket over him trying to fall asleep as fast as possible to get away from the pain that was trying to crack his head open. Meanwhile Mark was making tea in the kitchen totally unaware of the situation going on in the living room. As Donghyuck was trying to find a comfortable position he tried to roll onto his other side completely forgetting that he had plopped down on the couch. Mark heard a crash and a groan he looked up alarmed before remembering why he was making the tea and for who. Donghyuck. He ran into the living room only to find Donghyuck on the ground groaning with a fluffy blanket on top of him. "For f*cks sake I cant believe this!" Donghyuck hissed out as Mark quietly chuckled "c'mon Hyuckie let's go to my bed. I made tea as well" he smiled softly at the younger. Donghyuck sighed before nodding and walking upstairs to Marks room and onto his bed. A few seconds later mark also arrived with two cups of steaming tea and a blanket he smiled once again at Donghyuck and told him to drink up as he searched for a calming movie they could fall asleep to. "Hyung~?" Donghyuck mumbled sleepily "Yeah?" Mark also mumbled due to him being tired aswell his eyes also droopy now, "what time is it?" Donghyuck asked "mmm 11:12 PM why?" Mark looked at his little table the numbers lighting up the almost dark room other than the TV light. "Just askin-" Donghyuck didn't finish his sentence as he fell asleep, Mark smiled at the younger male and also decided that it was time for bed even though they're usually not in bed at this time when they are together.

Mark woke up to slight whimpering at first and decided to ignore it thinking it was his cat, makkachin. But later that whimpering turned into crying and he could feel someone tossing and turning in bed with him. He opened his eyes and looked at the clock, 4:44 AM before turning on the light to check on Donghyuck to see what was wrong only to see the younger one with tears running down his face and slight snot coming out of his nose due to the crying. He started to try to wake Donghyuck up with slight "hey's" and "wake up's" but it didn't quite work so he started trying to shake him awake. Which also failed to work. Which brings Mark to where he is right now. Shouting and shaking Donghyuck. "DONGHYUCK CMON MAN WAKE UP ITS JUST A DREAM" that woke up the younger male but oh how Mark wished he hadn't seen the face he had made. He looked so terrified his eyes wide and bloodshot , his face all red and he was panting like he just ran the marathon. "W- w- w- where a-am I- I?" Donghyuck asked his voice quiet and shaky "You're in my room, in my bed, safe and sound okay? It's okay calm down it's okay" he tried to calm the younger boy whispering. Donghyuck started crying again trying to muffle it by putting his hands in front of his mouth, "shh , shh no - no don't panic it's okay it's okay it wasn't real" Mark soothed him hugging him close. "was it the same thing you dreamt last time?" He asked even though he knew it was a touchy topic right now, but he couldn't help but wonder. "Y- y- yeah I- I think s-so" Donghyuck sniffed Mark tried brushing Donghyucks hair back from his forehead but his hand came in contact with the younger's forehead he felt that it was burning up.
"you've got a really bad fever, that's probably what caused the nightmare" Mark said sighing looking at the younger male with caring eyes. "I'm cold as well even though I'm sweating I guess" he mumbled out. Mark shook his head before starting to get up "I'll go make some tea and get some blankets" he said starting to make his way around the bed before a hand grabbed his arm, he looked to see Donghyuck with a scared expression "p- please don't l- leave I- I do- don't want t- to be al- alone" he stuttered out. Mark nodded before pulling Donghyuck up. "Come on lets go together then. You go get the blanket ill go ring Taeyong and make tea, I'm guessing you don't want to go back to sleep huh?" Mark asked "n-not really.." Donghyuck answered shyly. "C'mon then" Mark pulled  Donghyucks hand and made their way down the steps.
