LIMITLESS | NCT Markhyuck

Donghyuck wasn't sure when the thought of Mark never speaking to him again became more real than them being friends again. So much has happened Donghyuck lost count, but he knew one thing, Mark wanted nothing to do with him. He was sure of it... So why is the said boy desperately clinging onto his wrist?

'Can we talk?' These words sat heavy in Donghyuck's pacing heart. Millions of possible ways he could be rejected by Mark flooded his mind. He wasn't sure what was real or not. He looked at the boy in front of him, it really was Mark. The older boy had a look of concern plastered on his face. His cheeks were reddened and his chest seemed to rise and fall to the beat of Donhyuck's heart.

"Donghyuck!" Mark exclaimed at the dazed boy, breaking him out of his train of thought. "I said can we talk?" 

Donghyuck, afraid of being rejected by the person he loved started panicking. He started to vigorously shake his head as he desperately tried to pull his arm back from Mark's grip. "I have nothing to say to you," he lied.

Mark knew Donghyuck's antics all too well. He understood whenever a situation was the slightest inconvenience to the tan boy, he would rather run away from them than face them headfirst. Donhyuck was a coward, but so was he. The older boy was no different. As a way of shielding himself from potential pain, when things don't go his way, Mark either becomes possessive or runs away.

He watched the back of the tan boy as he walked away, Mark desperately looked around for anything that would help him get the attention of the smaller boy. 

"Hyuckie!" He yelled. This was the best he could come up with but it worked. The tan boy froze in his track, his back towards Mark. 

This was Mark's chance to grab hold of the smaller boy. He tossed his big arms around Donghyuck's small waist and latched himself onto the smaller boy, who was once again shaking.

"Why are you crying?" he spoke low, onto the back of Donghycuk's hair whilst taking a big whiff. The scent of Donghyuck sent electric waves throughout his body and straight down to his manhood. It's been so long since he smelt this comforting scent, he missed it so much.

"Who's crying?" Donghyuck spat, his voice quivered from trying to hold back his tears.

Mark mentally rolled his eyes at the smaller boy's reply. After everything that had changed between them, Donghyuck's stubborn commentaries were still the same. "Hyuckie, it's okay to talk to me..."

"No, you can't do that." The tan boy asserted. He pushed himself off Mark's firm grip around him. 

"Donghyuck, wha-"

"You can't be mad at me and ignore me for months and then all the sudden be nice to me and act as if you care!" Shit, he was about to cry. Donghyuck mentally slapped himself for almost slipping. He did so well holding it all in, just a little longer. 

He felt he was wronged. He hadn't done anything to deserve the way he was being treated by Mark. They had something so special... Anyone with eyes could see that. However, nothing about their relationship was finalized. Mark had to go jeopardize everything. Who does he think he is to walk all over his heart and then act like he cares when it's favorable for him. He doesn't care, he's probably just horny.

"But I do care." 

"No, you don't!" The tan boy spat. "I don't get what you want from me?" Donghyuck chuckled in disbelieve as he ran his hand through his hair while resting the other on his hip. "You're so full of yourself, you take control of every situation without consulting with me about how I feel. You go and get mad at me for stupid shit on your own and expect me to magically understand what's in your head. You don't even care about how I feel, as long as you have the last word. You're a selfish prick, Mark." The frantic boy blabbed as he paced back and forth. "You wanna know what the worse part is? That I still want you, even after you beat me up, even after you sabotage any relationship I have with a girl, even after you've broken my heart and stepped all over me. I still want you! And I hate that about myself so much. I'm weak and you take advantage of me. You're horrible."

A rush of relief flew through his body, as he breathed heavily. Donghyuck has been waiting for so long to say these words to Mark. He looked up at his victim as he fought back tears.

As for Mark, he stood with shame. He knew everything the boy had said to him/about him was correct. He was selfish, his obsession with the tan boy had gotten the better of him. He wanted to make Donghyuck all his, even if that meant hurting him along the way. 

"You're right" Mark admitted, "I was so caught up with how I felt and what I wanted that I disregarded your feelings." He sniffled quietly, tears threatening to spill from his eyes. "But I can't help how I feel." 

"How do you feel?" Donghyuck asked, whilst fiddling with his fingers from nervousness.

"I love you." Mark confessed, "I do the things I do because I'm in love with you!" He conveyed between cries. "I hated how you allowed everyone into your heart so easily, a place only I'm supposed to possess!"

Donghyuck stood with his heels glued to the ground. Did he hear that right? 

"Did you just say you love me?" Donghyuck enquired.

Marked slowly moved closer to the boy, examing his reaction with every step he took. Once he realized the younger boy was no longer retaliating, he closed the gap between them as much as he possibly could while taking the tan boy's hands into his own. 

"Donghyuck, I love you. I've always loved you." He spoke desperately to convey his feelings to the younger boy, leaving no room for misunderstandings. "How do you feel about me?" 

All Donghyuck seemed to do was cry, from hurt, from lust, from betrayal, and now from relief. Hearing those words he longed for from the person he wanted to be with the most filled up the empty hole that had remained in his heart. "I love you too, stupid" He announced.

Throwing both his arms around the boy he loved, Donghyuck pulled him into a warm, and passionate kiss. The feeling of Mark's lips, which he desperately desired, sent fireworks all over his body. It terrified him how much of an effect Mark had on him. All the pain and depression he had been feeling up until now instantly disappeared as he sunk deeper into their kiss. The same could be said for Mark, all he wanted was to have Donghyuck and now their feelings are mutual, it all feels surreal to him. Is he dreaming?

A/N

In this chapter, I wanted to convey their feelings for each other. I wanted them to sort their differences and confess. I wanted to exaggerate their sadness and their desperate need for one another. 

It was challenging because I felt like I kept repeating myself throughout the chapter. I might go back and change some things later but here's a chapter.

Okay, get ready for the next chapter. Things are going to get steamy from here ;) Can you guess who will bottom? 🤣
