Mark went to bed after he put Jack in his room. He didn't regret the kiss he had placed on Jacks cheek, if he had felt it in his sleep he still wouldn't have regretted it. Mark wasn't a regretful person. He would go back and kiss Jacks lips, but he wouldn't cause sometimes he got cold feet and decided against it. He cleared his mind somehow, and went to sleep.
The next day. Jack woke up and he rubbed away the sleep in his eyes. He remembered what Mark did last night before Jack fainted/fell asleep because of it. He touched his cheek in remembrance of the brief kiss Mark had laid upon his cheek. His cheeks took a deep red type of color. He shook his head and willed the blush away. He got up and changed into some different clothes. This time he was wearing a blue shirt which hugged his body like most of the shirts he had did. He put on a pair of black sweatpants and ruffled his paleish blonde/green hair to the point of looking good. Once he had all that he went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth and went into the living room.
Mark wasn't awake yet. So Jack decided to do a nice thing and make breakfast for him and Mark. Luckily he knew how to cook. Jack hoped it was ok to use some of Mark's food to cook breakfast. Jack had begun to cook eggs, bacon and pancakes. A classic breakfast. Jack had forgotten to put a lid on the bacon so the grease didn't splatter, and he was in the middle of pouring pancake batter on the pan to make a pancake but hot grease splattered on him and he jumped and spilled some of the batter on his face and clothes.
Mark had just woke up to the smell of bacon. He immediately jumped out of bed and went into the kitchen and saw Jack with pancake batter on his face and a bit on his clothes. Jack was picking a bit of the batter that landed near his lips and it looked rather seductive. Marks face went dark with color.
"Jack? What are you doing?" He asked the Irishman. Jack looked at Mark with surprise and confusion on his face. "I'm cookin' us breakfast! What else would I be doin with bacon, eggs and pancake batter?" Jack asked. Mark could think of more than three with the pancake batter, but he didn't say them. Mark sighed and smiled. "Well, whatever you were trying to do. You got messy over." Mark grabbed a lid from the cabinet and put it on the bacon pan. He got a paper towel and cleaned off Jacks clothes and face. Jack blushing only slightly. He would have blushed more but he willed that away.
They finished making breakfast together and when it was done they sat down in the living room.
"So what would you like to do today, Jack-a-boy?" Mark asked and took bite of bacon. Jack shrugged. "I dunno, I diminish about LA so I have no idea on where to go. Mark chuckled. "Ok, how about I surprise you?" Mark said and smirked. Jack looked at him. "Alright, but no shenanigans." Jack said in a playful but motherly tone. Mark laughed. "Ok, Mom!" He said and Jack punched his shoulder playfully.
After they finished breakfast and did dishes, they both made a small vlog. Jack went to go edit the vlog and Mark watched tv. Mark didn't really worry about the vlog since there wasn't much to edit and would only take about 45-50 minutes to edit.
It was about 3 o'clock when Mark decided to take Jack to his "surprise place". Mark blindfolded Jack so he wouldn't see. Mark had eventually taken him to a paintball stadium (I don't know what you call it cause I've never been...). Mark undid jacks blindfold and Jack squinted due to brightness. Once he was able to read where they were, Jack looked at Mark with wide and excited eyes.
"Holy shit, Mark! This is so awesome!" Jack smiled and hugged Mark. He was never this excited about much, but when you've always wanted to play paintball and the one you like brings you there it is so exciting. Mark was a bit shocked subjugated Jack back, nonetheless. He savored the moment, his slightly smaller figure in his thick arms and his smell. Mark was snapped out of his trance when Jack pulled away. Jacks smile never faded and he grabbed marks hand and went to the entrance. Mark blushed slightly and followed.
They walked through the front doors and went to the front counter. Mark booked a game for them to play in and they went to wait. Mark had forgotten that they were holding hands and he let go of jacks hand, his own feeling a bit cold now. Jack jumped.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I forgot to let go of your hand!" Jack exclaimed and Mark saw the color rise to his face which made his own light up. "No, no! It's ok I should have said something earlier!" He lied. He hadn't wanted to let go of his hand but.. he had to. They shook off the argument, but there cheeks still held the red color.
After the paintball game they got cleaned up and left. Mark drove back and Jack was lost in thought.
"Thanks, Mark... this was really fun." Jack said and gave Mark the most grateful smile he could give. Mark felt the red cover his cheeks and he smiled back slightly. "Hey, it wasn't a big deal. Anyone could have done that for ya." He said. Jack shook his head. "That may be true. But I wouldn't have had as much fun with anyone else." He blushed a dark red as the words rolled off his tongue. Mark was now a mess. His face was red, he was stuttering. It took everything he had in him not to ferociously kiss the man in the passenger seat. And he want doing a very good job at hiding his feelings. Jack was chuckling in his seat and looked out the window.
Once they got back to Mark's place they made dinner, ate and relaxed. It wasn't too late in the day, late enough to go to bed but neither of them did. They just sat side by side on the couch and watched a comedy. Both of them laughing there asses off. There hands brushed and they both immediately jumped and pulled back, in shock. They shrugged it off and continued watching.
Mark had fallen asleep a quarter in the movie and his head had fallen onto Jacks shoulder. Jack didn't move. Mark was asleep and he could enjoy this moment. Jack gently laid his head on marks and kissed the blonish-pink haired man's head. Jack fell asleep not too long after. It was the best sleep he had in a long time.
A/N: Phew! Ok! I actually got a chapter out sooner than expected... that's RARE! Ok, this was the second date/hangout. Now I want your opinion! Do you want things to get romantic later or in the next chapter? I have no idea XD writers block! Speaking of writers block I would like to thank Erin Bloodrein Sage for helping me come up with the idea of Paint ball as the surprise place Mark takes Jack. Again thank you all for the support! If there is any wrong information in the story tell me and I will fix it! Any errors or you don't understand something please tell me in the reviews and I will explain it! Thank you again!
~Love, Lost.
