Gangsta ~ Markhyuck

chapter 15

donghyuck lugged his heavy bag up the stairs, following mark to the room he was set to make his home for god knows how long

using the silence to think about the kiss

a small smile made its way onto the boy's face

he couldn't believe he kissed mark, twice

honestly speaking he didn't really know what he meant himself from what he had said to mark, but he knew there were mutual feelings

just the thought of it sent him into a fit of uncontrollable smiles and butterflies

mark had since stopped and was gazing at the younger, unconsciously smiling before he snapped out of it 

"this is where you'll be staying, it's humble but cosy"

donghyuck scanned the room, already picturing how he would make it more homely for himself

"i'll help you unpack and get settled in" mark said, taking the heavy bag out of donghyuck's hold

donghyuck nodded gratefully and the two began to set everything out

mark noticed the silence creeping in, not liking it he decided to pull out his deadliest asset "hey hyuck, what do you call a fake noodle?"

donghyuck grinned "i don't know, what do you call it?"

"an impasta"

both the boys bursting into a fit of ridiculous giggles

"hey mark, want to hear a joke about construction?"

mark smiled, glad that his plan was working "sure"

"i'm still working on it" breaking out into stifled laughter at his own joke

mark simply scoffed and rolled his eyes "that's the best you've got?"

the younger gasped dramatically "oh it's on"

and that's how they spent the rest of the time setting up donghyuck's room, firing dad jokes back at one another

donghyuck was left clutching his stomach and gasping for breath while mark set down his last russian doll, a strange decoration but one the small boy held close to his heart

mark flopped down onto the bed next to donghyuck 

"who knew you were such a big red velvet fan huh" he said, eyeing the posters that adorned the once empty walls

"how can i NOT, um hello? queens" donghyuck exclaimed

"i'm straight for yeri"

mark chuckled

the sound was like music to donghyuck's ears. it was comforting to him

donghyuck flipped over so he was facing mark, returning the elders soft gaze

he could see the elders gaze straying down to his lips then flicking back up to meet eyes
