LIMITLESS | NCT Markhyuck

07

The two boys were seated on the floor of the bathroom, legs crossed and facing each other. An intense aura hung heavy in the atmosphere, silence filling the room. 

Mark finally gathered his thoughts and took a deep breath, this was the moment he was going to pour his heart out to Donhyuck. This moment will either make or break their relationship. He looked up and met the soft gaze of the younger boy. Something inside him melted, the way Donghyuck was looking at him was messing up his train of thoughts. 

"Donghyuck, firstly I want to apologize for the way I've been treating you. I've been a shit friend" he apologized. Donghyuck didn't say anything, he just reached his hand out and placed it on Mark's, giving the boy an 'it's okay' face. Mark gently grabbed Donghyuck's hands and intertwined them with his, noticing how soft they were and how small they were, they fit so perfectly in his. He looked back up again, seeing how red the younger boy's face and ears had become made him nervous all over again... "I h-had a dream, and you were in it" he stopped, reading at the tan boy's reaction, "in that dream we kinda...did stuff." This was too much for him. Mark felt so embarrassed.

"What kind of stuff?" Donghyuck's heart was beating very fast, he knew where this was going, he just wanted to hear it from Mark. He gently rubbed his thumb on the top of Mark's hand as reassurance to continue. 

"Um, sexual stuff? And now I think I ... I like you? I know it's gross-"

"No, it's not." Donghyuck cut the boy off. He didn't find this disgusting at all, in fact, he was happy. Really happy, he can't explain why but he was. "Actually, I'm glad you told me" he gushed. Both boys looked away smiling, they were too embarrassed to look at each other.

"There's this other thing," Mark continued, seizing the younger boy's attention. "There's this thing about a kiss, just to know whether what I'm feeling is real or not..." he shyly spoke.

"Do you think it's real, Mark?" 

"I'm not sure, I think so" Which was true, he wasn't sure whether he really liked him or whether it was all just in his head. This was his best friend we're talking about, can you really blame him for feeling confused? Mark looked at Donghyuck, he tried to desperately read his reaction but Donghyuck sat there composed. 

"Ok, let's try it" This took the older boy off guard, shook was an understatement of how he felt right now.

"For real?" He asked in disbelief. Donghyuck nodded, he knew Mark was too chicken to do anything so he took the initiative to make the first move. Slowly, he got up from where he was and crawled closer to Mark. Letting go of the boy's hands, he placed his own hands on either side of Mark's shoulders. It's funny to think back to when he teasingly "seduced" Mark, he did it with flying colors, so why does he now feel like his heart's about to explode? Brushing all that aside, he got on top of the boy, legs on either side of him. Instantly, Mark's hand's found their place on either side of Donghyuck's hips and gently guided him onto his lap. Bit by bit, both boys closed the gap between them. And here they were once again, inches apart, but this time it was for real. How ironic. 

What was to come in the next few seconds was something neither the boys were prepared for, something that would change their lives forever...
