Scott practically runs to it, answering it seconds later.
"Babe?" He asks, and Mark nods, hugging him. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," Mark says, tucking his head under Scott's chin.
"We're so codependent. We were only apart for a few days," Scott chuckles to himself.
Mark places a soft kiss to Scott's chest. "That's true."
The hug ends and Scott grabs Mark's hand and guides him to the bed. "You should change," he says, "You're probably exhausted and jet lagged."
"A bit, but mostly just happy to see you." Mark smiles. "Can I have a kiss?" He asks.
Scott doesn't say anything and presses his lips to Mark's quickly. "There. Get changed now?" He asks.
"One more," Mark says, leaning in and kissing Scott once more. "There."
Scott grins widely as Mark changes and comes back to bed. He slips under the covers and feels Scott's arms wrap around him, and he relaxes.
"You were tense," Scott mumbles, "From the plane."
"Like always," Mark says, "More-so because you weren't there."
"But you needed to see your family," Scott says, "How were they?"
"They were good, I hadn't seen them since 4th of july, but the kids kept asking where Uncle Scott was."
Scott smiles. "Really?"
Mark nods. "They said you were good at playing games with them."
"I mean, I'm pretty great at Uno," Scott teases.
Mark hits his chest lightly as he giggles. "Oh! The photos from Kevin's wedding came in," he says. "There's a few cute ones, but this is my favorite." He grabs his phone and shows Scott.

"I love that," Scott says. "Any others?"
"Not as good," Mark puts his phone back on the bedside table. "I like that one because I can see the love in your features."
Scott kisses Mark's hair. "I hope you can always see the love in me," he says, "Because whenever you come near me I basically melt into a puddle on the ground."
