Mark was walking down the hallway until he was Mack's door slightly open. Out of curiousity, he went inside the room and saw Mack on the bed, assuming he was overwhelmed.

Mark frowned, walking to the bed and sat on the edge of bed.

"Oh Mack, what's wrong?" Mark asked, receiving a small whimper from Mack. He noticed a tear falling down Mack's cheek, and gently wiped it.

"Oh it's nothing, really..." Mack said in a hushed tone, sniffling a little bit. Mark placed a a hand on Mack's back, letting himself pull closer to him.

"You can tell me." Mark said. Mack sighed and became speaking his thoughts to Mark. It went on for maybe an hour or so.

"I'm sorry for keeping you here so long.." Mack apologized.

"Don't apologize, Mack." Mark responded, moving his hand to place it on Mack's shoulder.

"From now, you are banned from using the s word." Mark teased (𝘠𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘮𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘴-), receiving a slight chuckle from Mack.

"Right, sorry." Mack chuckled.

"A-ah! No word of that!" Mark pointed his finger towards Mack and wiggled it as a gesture for No. (𝘪𝘮 𝘴𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺😭👍). The both stayed silent before bursting out in laughter. Mark had never heard of Mack's laugh, but it was cute hearing it for the first time.

The two both calmed themself down. The silence was loud, before Mark decided to break it.

"Your's laugh is kinda cute." Mark said, watching Mack's blush rise up across his ears.

"T-thanks.." Mack chuckled, fidgeting with his gloves.

Mark smirked, placing both of his hands at Mack's cheeks.

"You're cute..." Mark murmured under his breath. Mack heard it and instantly got red.

"I-I'm sor-" Mark cutted off Mack's sentence, crashing his lips onto his. Mack's eyes widen at the sudden kiss, but eventually gave in. Mack didn't exactly knew if he was into guys or girls. But maybe... both?? (𝘔𝘈𝘊𝘒 𝘐𝘚 𝘉𝘐 𝘉𝘊 𝘐 𝘚𝘈𝘐𝘋 𝘚𝘖, 𝘏𝘈𝘏𝘈𝘏𝘈𝘏𝘈-)

The kiss felt forever, Mack thought. Mark felt Mack giggled as pulled away.

"What was that?" Mark raised an eyebrow at Mack.

"It's just that.. I have no idea if I'm into guys or girls." Mack chuckled, looking away in embarassment.

"Hey, it's completely okay if you're not sure. Everyone's been through it." Mark placed his hand down to Mack's forearms.

"Well, thanks but... how about we keep this in private..?" Mack asked, shyly. Mark softly smiled.

"Sure, that's fine by me if it's fine by you." Mark responded.

-------------------------------------------------------------

For the past few days, the two secretly would make out in one of their rooms after they had finished their duties.

Until one day, Mark decided to show Mack 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦 him with some gift.... which is dozens of heart plushies. He stupidly bought them to fill Mack's room with them. (𝘏𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘥𝘰𝘻𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥).

He might of bought a little too many and gave some to the crew (𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘸 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘤 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴-), which made them happy.

Once he arrived into Mack's room, Mark dumped the bed with plushies, arranging them nicely since Mack is very organized.
Once he was finished, he secretly took one for himself. (𝘏𝘦𝘩𝘦)

Luckily at that time, Mack was busy with his duties. Mark had also putted down a few useful gifts for him as he shutted the door and left, waiting for the perfect time...

-------------------------------------------------------------

It was the end of the day, and Mack was getting a snack at the cafeteria. The machine had dropped the snack, but gave an extra by accident.

'𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺?' Mack thought. He grabbed the two bags and noticed Mark.

Mack sighed in relief as he walked towarda Mark.

"Hey, Mark."

"Oh hey, Mack!".

"Uhm, the vending machine gave me an extra bag. Would you like one?"

"Free food? Of course! Thanks, love!" Mark exclaimed happily, grabbing the bag. Mack blushed deeply once he heard that nickname.

'𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦?' Mack thought. Mark had noticed that Mack was in his own world.

'𝘏𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦? 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦? 𝘏𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘦-'

"Mack?" Mark's immediately cutted Mack's thoughts.

"Uhm, what?" Mack said, having no idea of what just happened.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-Yea."

"You sure?"

"Yep."

"Alright then." Mark patted Mack on his shoulder.

"Get some rest, m'kay?" Mark said.

"Of course, Mark." Mack softly smiled. Mark slowly walked away, hiding that small smile.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Mack walked through the crowded and busy hallway. He always 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 loud noises, but could get through it. Mack had arrived in front of his door, sighing in relief that it was the end of the day.....

.....𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴?!

Mack had thought, seeing the dozen of heart plushies on his bed. He didn't know how to react to this since he was never surprised like this before.

He saw a small letter in front of the bed, walking towards it and grabbed it. He opened the letter and began to read it.

The note said:

𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘬, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘻𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸.

(𝘗𝘚: 𝘐 𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.)

Mack laughed at the 𝘗𝘚 part, and continue to read it.

𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘺, 𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘶𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘺.

𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦.

𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥,
𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬.

Mack wanted to cry out of happiness. He clutched the note in his hand to his chest.

"Do you like it?" Mack startled and looked behind him, seeing Mark leaning against the wall.

"No, Mark... I LOVE IT!" Mack exclaimed, rushing towards Mark and hugging him tightly.

"Thank you, Mark." Mack smiled happily, almost about to cry.

"Your welcome, Mack." Mark patted on his back, smiling softly.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Mack.."

Mark wrapped his arms around Mack's waist, leaning in for a deep kiss. They both kissed, the moon shining through the window. The light gazed between them.

(𝘗𝘚: 𝘐𝘮 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘐 𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘻𝘦🙏)

They went to changed their uniforms into their robes. Mark was on his way to his own room, until Mack grabbed his wrist.

"Wait!" Mack said, making Mark turna around at face at Mack.

"Yes, Mack?" Mark asked.

"Can you...maybe....sleep with me?" Mack asked shyly, looking away, embarassed. Mark chuckled and an arm around Mack's neck. He softly smiled.

"Of course, Mack." Mark gave at quick kiss near to his temples, watching Mack turning red immediately.

"Heheh, you're so adorable when you blush." Mark teased, seeing Mack gettin redder.

"J-just shut up." Mack said. They both craved space for them to get on the bed (𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘧𝘺𝘪) and cuddled to eachother.

Mack's head was against Mark's chest while Mark's was on top of his hair. The both of them slowly drifted themself off, falling asleep against eachother.
