In his arms (Markson)

Sixteen

Same day different couple...

As much as Jackson probably would never admit, he's still very flustered, when he's not thrown back into a state of shock. He was so close, so close to being with Mark in the most intimate way possible. He's not sure if he should be disappointed that they were interrupted or relieved. At first he went through all the grieving stages but now after some time to think on it, he's happy he gets to treat Mark to a special evening first. He had made reservations for a nice Italian restaurant and plans to go to Banpo park to watch the rainbow fountains.
He showers quickly so he can get back to Mark, he knows just how whipped he is and he doesn't care. He spent years trying to forget about what he thought was a stupid crush and now he has him so he wants to make up for lost time.

Mark is having trouble keeping his mind focused. After Jackson's confession earlier and the fact that they were going to actually have sex his mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. He wonders if Jackson will still want him after having time to think about it. It's not that he doesn't completely trust Jackson or believe his words. He just wonders if it was a fleeting moment, something that they can't get back until another time. Don't get him wrong, it's not just about the sex. It's so much more, he wanted to give himself in a way that he can't express with words but he wants it to have the same meaning it would have in the moment. He knows he wants this with Jackson because he knows he's falling hard. Yes he's completely terrified to be hurt again but he's willing to take the risk for him.
After readying himself he sat down on his couch and couldn't help but relive everything he's been through in the past few weeks. The heartache, the fear but most of all the joy. He smiled to himself as tears fell down his face.
"I'm such a baby." He muttered to himself as he wiped at his eyes.

When the doorbell rang butterflies erupted, no matter how many times he sees Jackson he knows it will always be this way. He walks slowly to the door nervously smoothing out non existent wrinkles. When he opens the door he can't help but think how handsome his boyfriend is.

He looks so sexy in his paisley, loose fitting shirt and black jeans. Mark can't help but stare. Jackson too was floored by how hot his boyfriend looked tonight.
