[ON HOLD]Skaterboi (Markson)

*Marks POV
"We're splitting the bill." I say as I hand my card to Younghyun at the register. Jb beside me and pulling out his card.

"How kind of you guys to treat your friends." Younghyun laughs as he grabs our cards and swipes them one at a time.

"Gotta be the best hyungs, right?" Jb says as he retrieves his card back.

Younghyun nodding. "If only Jae hyung heard that one."

I laugh as I retrieve my card as well.

"Anyways. Have a nice day. And don't be skipping classes." Younghyun says and points a finger at us.

"Yeah yeah." We wave him off as we walk away and with our friends.

"I'm tired. And full." Bam says and rubs his stomach.

"I feel like I'm carrying a baby." Yugyeom says and rubs his as well.

"How many months?" Bam jokes.

We laugh and walk back to school. Only having a few minutes before lunch ends.

I watch as Jackson and Jinyoung were close and chatting amongst themselves.

I wonder what they're talking about.

We joked and laughed. The younger ones running around and complaining about having the urge to vomit.

"Wait. I actually need to throw up." Bam says and hunches over.

"Dude gross! Let me film it first!" Yugyeom says and quickly pulls out his phone.

"Guys don't be gross. We all just ate." Jb says and drags them both.

"I'm glad you stopped them. I would've thrown up just seeing it." Youngjae says and covers his mouth.

I pull out my new pack of candy cigarettes and eat one. Offering the group.

"Take one!" I shout as Yugyeom and Bam take three each.

"We're hungry!" They shout.

"We just ate?" Jinyoung says joining in.

"They can eat a lot." Jackson points out with a laugh.

"We're growing boys." Yugyeom and Bam say.

We reach the school and enter the building. I check the time and see it's a minute before the bell rings.

"Alright see you later guys." Jb says as he and Youngjae start to walk to their class.

"Thanks for the meal Mark hyung!" Youngjae says with a smile.

I wave goodbye at them.

BamBam and Yugyeom saying the same thing and rushing off to their class.

"I'm heading to class." I say.

"Really? Well okay." Jackson says surprisingly. He steps close to me and gives me a quick kiss.

"See you after school?" He asks with a cute pout.

I smile and nod.

"See ya Jinyoung." I say and walk away and to my class.

I didn't even want to go but I had nothing else to do at the moment. I scratch my bandaid as it starts to feel itchy.

I enter the classroom. Some students already in and were surprised to see me.

I walk towards the back and take a seat. Placing my elbow on the desk and chin on the palm of hand and look out the window.

The sky was cloudy and foggy. The sun struggling to peek out from the clouds.

The next two classes boring as usual.

"I wanted to ditch." Jb says as we walk to the front gate after school.

"I don't condone ditching. But same here." Youngjae admits.

We look at our sunshine. Surprised he would want to ditch.

"What? It was fun eating out and having fun while walking back." He says.

We all mumble in agreement.

"See you guys! Let's do this again!" Bam and Yugyeom say and walk away and to their homes.

Jb and Youngjae doing the same and following the other two.

Jinyoung, Jackson and I on our own. I place my board down and start to skate a little. Speed at a slow one to keep up with boys as they walk.

"So did you enjoy lunch?" I ask as I push myself.

Both boys nod. Jinyoung bending a bit forward to look at me.

"Thanks for lunch. It was great." A smile on his face.

I smile back nod.

Jackson looks at me. A big smile on his face.

"It was good! I enjoyed my ramen."

I smile again and reach over for his hand. Interlocking our fingers together.

"So Mark. Have you ever tried to show Jackson how to skate?" Jinyoung asks.

I nod and chuckle. "Yes. But he kept falling and then gave up."

Jackson pouts at the memory. "I really tried!"

Jinyoung and I laughing.

"Oh, well here's my stop. See you tomorrow." Jinyoung says and waves us a goodbye.

We wave back and watch him walk down the street. Then continue walking to Jackson's place.

Jackson touching my bandaid cheek.

"Doesn't it get itchy?" He asks.

"Yes. But I handle it." I say.

Jackson nods.

"What were you and Jinyoung talking about earlier?" I ask the dying question.

Jackson hums and tries to recall the conversation.

"We were just talking about our relationship. How it is and all that." Jackson answers.

I nod and continue to lightly push myself on my board.

"Let's play video games when we get home." Jackson says.

"Yes please!" I say with excitement.

My thoughts and worries fading away at the mention of video games.
