Different: A Markson Story

Chapter 21: I'll Always Come Back to You

Mark entered Jackson and Bambam's room. His eyes met the lump in Jackson's bed that was sniffling and crying, wrapped snug in a blanket. Mark sadly looked at it with pity. Mark sighed, before walking up to the lump...Jackson...who's back was facing him. He climbed onto the bed his knees pressing onto the mattress for support. He put his hands on Jackson and leaned over him so he could see his face. Mark saw the sad boy, eyes open as tears fell. For the first time in days, the two of them were together again. Jackson's eyes met Mark's, and Jackson looked away.

"Don't look at me like that...I don't need your pity. I'm Jackson Wang," the younger muttered, sobbing in between every few words. Mark giggled, while also shedding a few tears. It didn't hit him how much he had really missed Jackson until now. 

"Gaga...I missed you so much. I'm sorry." Mark confessed.

Jackson shook his last few tears off his face and then pouted. "I don't forgive you," Jackson said in a rude tone, reminiscent of the old Jackson Mark originally knew. 

Mark frowned. "Jackson, I'm so so sorry. Please forgive me." 

Jackson turned angrily looking at Mark. "Why should I?" Not only did Jackson sound broken and hurt, but he also looked it too. Mark looked away feeling guilty. He made Jackson like this. Just like Jackson said about Mark, Jackson deserved a happy ending too.

Mark sighed and before he laid down behind Jackson. He wrapped his arms around him and buried his face into Jackson's back. "Because I like you too." After Mark's sudden confession, the room was silent for a few moments. 

"What did you just say?" Jackson asked. Mark sighed and crawled over Jackson, laying down on the bed so he was facing and looking at Jackson this time.

"I said I like you...a lot. Way too much for my own good. And I'm sorry for pushing you away and rejecting you. You deserve a happy ending too and it wasn't until I pushed myself away from you that I realized...we may be different but that's why I like you so much." Jackson's expression softened and his eyes began to reflect the soft sparkle that Mark was so used to.

"Jacks we're like magnets. We may be different but that's why we attract. And everytime we're together we're really hard to break apart. We're basically inseparable. I didn't realize that until we weren't together. I hurt so much when I'm not with you, and I know I hurt you so much. I'm sorry. Just know that you complete a piece of me, and no matter how hard I try and push you away or you try and push me away, I'm not going anywhere because I attract to you so much and I like you." Mark affectionately explained. How could Jackson resist this boy?

"I'll always come back to you." Mark softly whispered, lighting a fire in Jackson's stomach and causing his cheeks to burn a bright red. "So please just stay by my side now," Mark sweetly confessed wrapping his arms around Jackson again.

After a brief moment of silence, Jackson finally wrapped his arms around Mark. "I forgive you...Markiepooh," Jackson softly whispered. Hearing Jackson's sweet tone of voice and even hearing Jackson say the nickname he had originally found cringeworthy made Mark's gut fire up with excitement, but more importantly love. "And don't worry I still like you." Both boys sweetly smiled before tightly embracing one another.

Mark caught Jackson's scent and realized how real this moment was. This was actually happening. He felt so good being in Jackson's arms. It was just so right. How could he have denied Jackson for this long? The two's eyes met and they began leaning in. Their lips were just about to touch and Jackson fluttered his eyes shut. 

Suddenly, Mark held a finger up to Jackson's lips. "So am I your boyfriend now?" Mark cutely questioned.

Jackson opened his eyes and cried out in frustration. "Ugh come on! Just kiss me already!" 

Mark giggled in content and shook his head. He missed teasing and being playful with the younger. "Answer me first." Jackson brought on of his hands to Mark's cheek and began softly caressing it. 

"Yes you're my boyfriend," he answered lovingly. Mark blushed and sweetly grinned at Jackson Wang, now his boyfriend. 

"Jackson Wang's boyfriend...that sounds nice," Mark confessed before capturing Jackson's lips.

Their lips moved hungrily against each other. Both could tell that they had wanted this for quite some time. They could tell that they would be happy with one another and both knew that they had deserved happiness after everything they've been through together. The contact was amazing and it was almost as if their lips were made for each other. "Markiepooh," Jackson sweetly called. "Kiss me again," he said with a devilish grin. 

"You're annoying Gaga," Mark teased. 

"But I'm your Gaga," Jackson smirked. 

Mark rolled his eyes. "And that's all that matters," Mark replied, before connecting his lips with Jackson's once again.
