3rd person

"M-Mark."

A pause. Nothing more, nothing less.

The older just raised a brow at the male in front of his door, not knowing what the hell he was doing there. He wanted to tell himself that he didn't want to see Haechan but he exactly knew it was a big lie and quite the opposite.

"I- uhm, it's Renjun's, Jaemin's and Jeno's fault." The hazel haired said, which he actually shouldn't have because it triggered the thoughts the raven haired wanted to shove away.

"Oh so you're being forced again?"

Said the older with a little saltiness in his tone, already being occupied with closing the door again.

"No, what are you talking about? Anyway, would you like to let your boyfriend in?" The prince asked, not quite realizing what he said.

"So you're using the boy form because you're with you 'short wig'?" Mark giggled a bit at the little mistake of the younger, watching how the latter lost his words and explanations as he searched for the long hazel locks which he couldn't find nowhere, so he just nodded as he avoided the older's gaze.

"So you're letting me stand outside all day? Will you hurry up?" Spoked the hazel haired with a little pout and crossed arms in front of his chest, distracting from what he blabbed out previously.

"Come in my boyfriend." The older chuckled, stepping aside to make some space for the younger to walk in.

The hazel haired then just simply went upstairs into Mark's bedroom and plopped himself down on the olders bed.

"What do you think you're doing?" The raven haired asked as he stepped into the room with a raised brown, scanning the smaller male from head to toe laying in his bed.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Mark asked again as he didn't got an answer to his previous question. Lifting his head to look at the king who made the mattress sink beside him because he sat down, the hazel haired frowned a little, Mark seemed really pissed off.

"Well I don't know, I wanted to see you. Something felt odd." Thought the younger out loud which made also the older frown, recalling the things Jeno had told him just before Haechan decided, or rather was forced, to show up.

Mark really wanted to retort something cocky like 'Missed me already?' but he didn't have the strength for it. So what the male did was to rest his elbows on his knees and his chin on his knuckles, staring out the window as he watched the heavy wind bending trees and the sky being filled crazy thundering.

How are they going to get through it all when it's already slowly breaking apart? Mark was scared before, but now he was just frightened.

However, the raven haired jumped a bit as he opened his eyes wide, startled by the sudden arms wrapped around his chest and the legs around his waist. The smaller male behind him also burried his head in the olders back, nuzzling in it as much he could.

"Why so sad?" Haechan asked quietly due to his voice being muffled because he spoke against Marks back.

"Oh.... Im just... Im just bit pressured by the whole situation." Admitted the raven haired as he carefully placed his hands on the smaller one's, caressing both with his thumbs.

"D-dont be, it'll be fine." The hazel haired said as he squeezed the older fingertips in his own hands a bit.

"Do you really want to be with me?"

"What do you mean?

"You know what I mean, the forced by your parents thing."

"Listen Mark," the hazel haired sighed as he was relieved by the fact the latter didn't mean the whole gender pretending, then proceeded to continue: "First it really was my parents who forced me to go here. If I wouldn't obey they would hurt Jaemin and Renjun. Also it's the only condition to get me crowned. There's actually even more to the plan my parents have and I can tell you that if you want to, but I'll never let that happen."

Hyuck then, let go and detached himself from the older, making the latter turn around to look at the younger.

"What I want to say. It's not like that anymore. I really like you- no I love you, so please, never doubt that." The hazel haired assured as he smiled sadly, taking the olders hand to intertwine it with his own.

The older just smiled widely, so happy about the younger finally opening up partly and declaring things once and for all.

"Cute, like, you were really cute right now." The raven giggled, tackling the younger and showering him with kisses.

"I can take it back!" The hazel haired retorted as he tried to escape the olders grip.

"No, please never do that." Giggled the king once again as he stopped his movements and rested his hands with stretched out arms next to the younger's head, looking down at the prince under him.

Again that moment and that warmth.

Time has stopped.

Mark just smiled, showing off his teeth and a little eye smile, making the younger giggle at the olders cuteness.

"So what? You're just going to stare or..?" The hazel haired teased while as he sticked his tongue out, the raven haired tsk-ing with the same wide smile plastered on his lips.

"Where's the shy prince hidden again?" The older smirked a bit as he leaned in to place his lips on the younger's for the nth time that day, actually they stopped counting already.

Wrapping his arms around the olders neck, the prince tilted his head a bit and opened his mouth wider to give the other an easier access. The raven haired just used that perfect opportunity to slip his tongue into the youngers hot cavern, enjoying every bit of the hazel haired's as he explored his mouth further.

Suddenly, the younger turned them around, so he was straddling the older male, not breaking the kiss but still loosing their tongue fight for dominance. The raven haired just placed one hand behind the youngers head and the other on his hip.

Feelings overflowing in euphoria and excitement, also a bit nervousness, it really felt for the prince like he was levitating.

That went on for a bit longer till they broke the kiss, the smaller then laying down himself fully on the king and head resting on the latter's chest due to be being a bit tired.

Sighing blissfully as the older stroked through his hair, the other hand of the older remaining around the hazel haired's waist and keeping him close. The prince placed his hands also on the older's chest, clenching a bit into the fabric of Mark's top.

The hazel haired just closed his eyes as he nuzzled his nose against the older chest, the king giggling at the cute sight.

"I love you."

"I love you too"
