Drabble Collection #2

Mark Lee || NCT, SuperM || Royal!AU

You look over at the Prince, worry clear in your eyes. He waves his glass around, shouting for someone to pour him another drink while laughing at a joke Lucas said. Mark has been drinking a fair amount tonight, a little more than he usually does and you are definitely concerned about this because Mark is a lightweight and he's already three drinks in - meaning he's drunk.

"I love you~" He shouts across the table at you, causing you to blush. "I love youuuuuu and I want to marry you!"

The whole room stops chattering and you realise that everyone is looking at you, expecting you to answer his drunken confession. You've been dating for a few months now but the L word hasn't yet made it into a sober conversation and here he is, screaming it out for the world to here.

As well as the proposal of marriage.

"Oh, ah," you begin to stutter, laughing nervously as Mark watches expectantly. "Ma-Mark, shouldn't we have this conversation in private?" He doesn't answer, he just stares at you with glazed over eyes and a drunken toothy smile.

Silence begins to make the dinner awkward. Your cheeks and ears begin to burn hotter because everyone is waiting, everyone is watching but none as intensely as Mark.

"Mark, let's talk elsewhere, please."

Lucas stands up, moving to stand beside Mark, trying to help him stand up but Mark refuses, taking another swig of his liquid courage before standing on his own. "Y/N~" He whines, stumbling on his way over to you. "Why are you not wanting to tell me you love me."

Biting your lip, you look around and wish that all these eyes weren't on you.

"Do you not love me?" His question takes you by surprise and you choke on your words when you see the tears beginning to well in his eyes.

This is why Mark shouldn't drink. One minute, he's screaming out his love for you and then the next he's on the verge of tears.

"No-No," you look down at your feet, "it's just... well, I would have rather have talked about this properly." You don't want to yell out your feelings for him for everyone to hear. "I-I love you, too."

A wide smile spreads across his lips and he wraps his arms around you, nearly passing out in your arms. "You love me~" He giggles and you huff when he begins to mumble nonsense that you can't understand.

"Yes, Mark." You pat his back, pushing him towards Lucas and sighing as he passes out completely. "Yes, I do."
