he watched those soft and patient eyes gazing into his own.

haechan could trust mark.

he can. always.

"i had a rough childhood. dad was a drunk, mom was a bitch. always fighting and whenever i tried to stop it from going further, they always blamed me that i was reason why their marriage fell apart. one day, i woke up, hearing loud noises, only to see my dad exit the front with a suitcase and my mom on the floor, a deep cut on her forehead. it was my birthday mark, and i thought she was going to kill me by the way she looked at me. my own mother. but she just told me to dress up and for the first time, i was happy."

he gulped hardly at the horrible memories, at which mark took the younger into his arms, his warmth and scent giving haechan a sense of comfort no other can give.

"and then, on that very day, my birthday, she invited a man. he was nice at first. she introduced him as my uncle, her close friend too. and then she just dropped the bomb on me that he was taking me away with him. i was 9 years old. i didn't understand anything at that time, except for the fact that my mom told me he will take good care of me. that i won't have to suffer anymore. that i don't have to starve anymore and that i could have a good childhood growing up. of course i agreed. i wanted that feeling. i craved that feeling of having someone look after you, love you. and that was the last day i ever saw my mom. i stayed with him for 7 months. and in those seven months, he gave me good food, i had a room of my own, my own toys and clothes. i was happy. it was my 10th birthday when things started getting weird. he started touching me in places he shouldn't. he hugged me. he kissed me. but i really didn't know what was going on. and then one day, he just came really close, too close to my liking, and that's when i rejected him. i still remember that he was really angry. and the next thing i knew was me being pulled towards a room, him locking the door behind us and then him having his way with me. i cried. cried so much. so bad. but he never stopped. and when everything was over, he just hugged me, held me from the behind, like he hasn't just raped me."

he looked at mark, who was really furious.

"i'm sorry that you had to go through that sunshine. but i admire you even more now. you're the strongest person i know baby. i'm proud of you sunshine."

"you remember the time when you asked me why i never let you hold me? when you thought i was asleep?"

"you were awake the whole time?!"

"yes. the reason is mark, his touch is still there. it's still imprinted in my mind. his dirty fucking touch. and if you really hold me without hurting me, you'd be the first one to do so."

mark leaned over and softly connected their lips, his thumbs gently rubbing away haechan's tears.

"i'll hold you in my arms even if the world is ending babe."

"good. now let's get up. i'm hungry."

(aww man! way to ruin the mood haechan! you lil shi-)

mark had just gotten out of the shower, his wet feet padding across the room.

he searched for his shirt, but didn't find any, so just settled comfortably in his sweatpants.

his feet carried him across the living room, but stopped when the sight before him came into view in the kitchen.

haechan was in his shirt. just his shirt.
nothing else underneath it.

oh god lee haechan.

mark watched on as the younger swiveled his hips seductively, not even realizing he's doing it and making mark feel many things at once.

he was randomly humming to a song, when warm hands wrapped around his waist, pulling him back against a rock hard and unclothed chest. a soft kiss was placed on his nape, at which he sighed happily.

he could really get used to this.

he turned around, smiling softly at the man before him.

there were no words exchanged, just both of them hugging.

mark picked haechan up and sat him up on the counter top, his mouth gently attacking the others.

this was different. different than all of their lust filled ones.

no.

this was all just softness, gentleness, warmth and comfort all wrapped into one.

mark tugged the younger's lower lip lazily, his teeth breaking into a smile when haechan pulled him harshly against himself.

he situated himself between haechan's legs. not anything related to arousal though.

this was just the purest form of intimacy for both of them, just enjoying the feel of each other's lips and bodies pressed together.

"baby, you're beautiful."

mark placed soft kisses all over haechan's face- his forehead, his eyes, his cute nose, his cheeks before locking their lips again.

they stopped kissing after a while, but neither of them moved away. mark just wrapped his arms around haechan, his chin on the latter's head and the younger one laid his head on the muscular chest.

the atmosphere was peaceful. slow, soft and loving.

haechan placed a kiss on the tanned chest of the elder, before snuggling in once again.

"could we sleep again love?"

haechan asked sleepily.

"love?"

mark leant back, a soft smile gracing his lips.

"yes. is it wrong if i say that i'm falling in love with you mark lee?"

haechan asked, head down, scared while waiting for mark's answer.

"not at all....love."

they connected their lips again, their hearts happy and full, breakfast long forgotten.

mark carried haechan all the way back to bedroom, their backs softly hitting the warm sheets and a euphoric feeling coursing through their bodies.

"will you still be here when i wake up mark?"

"always by your side love."
