"Alright Y/N," Mark begins as they walk into the mall. "I know Ten took you to the mall as well, but we are here for a different reason."

Y/N raises his/her/their eyebrow in confusion. "Which is?"

"Laser tag," is all Mark says as he drags Y/N behind him and towards a cafe.

"Well why are we going to a cafe if we are going to play laser tag?" Y/N questions as they enter the cafe.

"Cause we need food," Mark explains. "And I want caffeine, which I'm sure you do too."

"Yeah you're right," Y/N sighs, nodding with a small smile. "I'm never against getting more caffeine."

Mark smiles and grabs Y/N's hand, holding it as they stand in line, waiting to order. They both suck their heads away from the other, trying to keep one another from seeing their blush. Once they order, Y/N and Mark take a seat at a small table in the back of the cafe.

"So laser tag?" Y/N asks once they are seated with their food and drinks.

"Well I had originally wanted to take you to an amusement park, but I got beat to that idea by Lucas," Mark explains. "And we can play a few rounds of laser tag, which will be fun."

Y/N nods along as he explains everything. "Wanna make a deal?"

Mark looks up with a smile. "I don't know, that sounds a bit risky."

Y/N chuckles, shaking his/her/their head. "Oh it's not that bad."

"Well then, what's the deal?" Marks asks, now interested.

"Best two out of three," Y/N begins explaining. "And the loser buys ice cream afterwards."

Mark takes a minute to think about it. "Sounds interesting. I'll take the deal."

The two joking shake on the deal, giggling afterwards.

"I hope you enjoy losing," Y/N taunts lightly.

"I hope you enjoy paying for ice cream," Mark taunts back, just as jokingly.

The two quickly finish their food and drinks after that, throwing everything away and then making their way to the laser tag place.

"This is gonna be fun," Y/N states, as they enter the laser tag place. "And it's gonna be a lot more fun when you lose."

"Why do you assume I'm gonna lose?" Mark asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Cause I know you will," Y/N hums. "Call it intuition."

Mark shakes his head and the two go to grab the gear that they needed. Once they were ready, the game began.

Y/N quickly rushed away and into a far corner while Mark ran to the other side.

Mark moved along the wall, slowly and lowly to the ground. He looked around a few times before spotting Y/N a little further away. He moved close behind Y/N and aimed at his/her/their vest. Mark takes the shot, and Y/N's vest goes off.

"God damnit," Y/N whines. "Whatever, it's time for another round, so get ready honey."

The two rush off again and Y/N heads to the side Mark was on. He/she/they duck down and begin to move backwards, watching as Mark loves just across from him/her/them. Y/N sighs quietly when he/she/they are unable to take the shot, and move a little bit out from behind a barrier. Mark still hasn't seen Y/N yet, so he/she/they take the chance and shoot at Mark's vest, hitting him the second shot.

"How the hell did you get over there?" Mark groans. "But we are tied now, so I'm gonna whip you."

-Flash forward after the end of the game-

"I can not believe you won?"

"Yeah well, guess you have to pay for ice cream."

"Nope"

"Oh come on Y/N! You're the one that made the deal."

"I'm in denial!"

"You can't be in denial forever!"

"But why not," Y/N pouts, whining. "Being in denial is fun. You should try it sometime, it's highly effective. And besides, I'm only in denial if I'm wrong."

"But you are wrong," Mark points out, chuckling.

Y/N sighs as the two enter the ice cream parlor. "Fine I give in. Are you happy now?"

"Ecstatic," Mark deadpans.

Mark and Y/N quickly give the worker their orders and Y/N pays for the ice cream, then they go take a seat.

"I would just like to say," Y/N begins. "You got me like a second before I got you."

"Well that second counted," Mark hums. "And you lost."

Y/N sighs, fake pouting. "Must you keep reminding me?"

"Sorry," Mark giggles, taking a bite of his ice cream.

"I guess it's okay."

Both finish their ice cream quickly and then head back to Mark's car. Once they get in, Mark starts the car and heads off towards Y/N's apartment. When they reach the apartment, Y/N places a kiss to Mark'a cheek quickly then rushes out of the car, calling "see you later" over his/her/their shoulder.

"How do you think Mark's date went?" Kai questions, looking a bit worried.

"I'm sure it went fine," Taemin assures him. "All of ours went great, so his probably did too."

"Besides," Baekhyun begins. "Mark didn't look nervous at all this morning."

"Are we sure that was a good thing?" Lucas questions.

The boys turn when they hear a huff from the doorway, finding Mark there. "So glad you guys think so highly of me. And for your information, the date went wonderful."

Taeyong coughs, before speaking. "And now it's time for us to talk."

"About?" Ten asks, Tallinn a seat beside Taeyong.

"Whether we want to try and add Y/N into the relationship. I figured getting the one on one dates would help sort out feelings."

"Well I for one want to try and add Y/N in," Baekhyun states.

One by one, the other boys chime in in agreement.

"So I assume we've made a decision?" Ten asks.

The others members nod.

"Now let's see if we can get Y/N to like us back," Kai mumbles.
