「 time check; 2:44 」 「 ship; markyong 」
mark sat down on his bed in his dorm, and had literally knocked out the minute after.
the boy was so tired, he couldn't help it.
meanwhile, the nct household was full of energy since a few of the older members were going to be cooking a dinner for everyone else. everybody was being super loud, talking amongst themselves and laughing like there was no tomorrow. it was good, finally being able to relax for one night without the worries of schedules for the next day and all that.
but taeyong, he noticed someone was missing from the large clique.
"i just saw mark though, where'd he go?" the male asked himself, leaving the kitchen area and deciding to head to the dorm room he shared with him. he noticed the door was slightly ajar, which allowed him to peek inside.
he found mark asleep, an arm dangling off the bed. he was still dressed in his outside clothes and had his shoes on, which made taeyong frown.
he must've been so exhausted.
the male carefully took mark's arm and slightly turned him over so he'd be a little bit more comfortable. he took his shoes off for him and went to sit down next to mark, when he was pulled back by him and now laying next to him. the younger snaked his arm around taeyong and clung onto him, nuzzling his head into his chest to steal his warmth.
taeyong smiled, heart fluttering all for the adorable baby cuddling up on him.
he ran a hand through mark's hair gently, deciding to just get comfortable as well and cradle the boy in his arms while he slept peacefully.
that's when the door suddenly flew open with taeil and doyoung singing purposefully awful high notes, laughing at themselves as well.
"hey!" taeyong immediately whisper-yelled, feeling mark tighten his hold on his waist and snuggle himself even closer into him with a small whimper. doyoung and taeil noticed this and quickly stopped, telling taeyong they'll bring food for the both of them up to their room instead of dragging them downstairs like how they planned to.
"and tell the others not to be so loud please. mark is sleeping!" taeyong said in a hushed tone, earning nods from taeil and doyoung, who cooed at taeyong being soft. the other two males left the room, leaving mark and taeyong alone again.
"thank you... y-you're the best ever." taeyong heard mark mumble, sleepiness very present in his voice. the male placed soft kisses into his hair, embracing the tired boy with his whole body.
"just sleep, honey... just rest. you deserve it." taeyong whispered, not missing the light pink blush that dusted mark's cheeks as he sluggishly nodded, throwing his leg over taeyong's hips and pressing a little peck on his neck before quickly falling back asleep.
"cutie..." the leader muttered, circling his arms around mark's neck as he too slipped into a peaceful sleep.
