"Mark, stop." Donghyuck moaned. His head lolled off the edge of the bed, his hair flipping backwards because gravity and brushing the floor. "Mark!" He called again, this time more of a whine, clearly not too agitated with what was happening.

"What?" Mark answered, coming back up to Donghyuck's face.

"I'm tired." He whined again, kicking Mark's knee in a fit.

"I know, I'm trying to help you." Mark sighed and sat on his heels down between Donghyuck's legs. "You're really heavy." Mark groaned as he pulled Donghyuck by his legs towards him.

"Fuck you." Donghyuck mumbled tiredly, yawning between words.

"You won't be saying that when you wake up you little gremlin." Mark finally pulled Donghyuck up against him, which was even harder as the boy was completely relaxed and dead weight.

"Whatever, just let me sleep."

Mark pulled Donghyuck's head against his chest and fell backwards, letting out a heavy sigh as his head hit the pillow. Donghyuck was the worst sleeper he had ever seen, not that he had a lot to go off of though.

Donghyuck woke up the next morning to an empty but surprisingly warm bed. When he raised up he realized there were flower petals scattered on his sheets.

"That fucking sap." He groaned and forced himself out of bed, reading the note on his bedside while getting dressed. "I'm doing another thingy with Ty. Have a good day at school! <3"

"He writes like a mom." Donghyuck giggled quietly to himself and continued to get ready. As he walked out of his room and glanced at Jaehyun's closed door, he was tempted to check up on Mark. Now that he thought about it, he had no idea what went on behind that door. He probably didn't want to know, but when Mark was in there he did.

Despite his curiosity, he forced himself to school as he was already a little late.

"What's up fuckers?" Chenle smirked as he walked towards their group of friends.

Renjun suddenly jumped up from where he was leaning against the locker. "Why do you have my phone?"

"Fuck you, that's why." Chenle stuck out his tongue, only to nearly choke on that tongue when Renjun attacked him.

"Language! Bitch." Renjun snatched the phone and gave Chenle a small slap before pulling him over to their friends by his hair. "You see what I put up with?"

"Aw look at the little cuties~" Jaemin cooed, causing both Renjun and Chenle to recoil.

"Where's Jeno?" Donghyuck asked as he wrapped an arm around Jaemin's shoulders.

"I don't really know, he's just not here yet." Jaemin shrugged and all of his friends gave him a weird look.

"Okay Nana, what's actually going on? You and Jeno always know what the other is up to. It's a little freaky actually."

"Shut up. He's just not here yet guys, that's all. Maybe he's sick. Besides, we're not attached at the hip, I don't always know where he is."

Okay this was definitely weird. If Jeno was sick Jaemin would absolutely know.

"I call bullshit."

Donghyuck pulled Jaemin aside and eyed him. "What's up Jaem?"

"Didn't I already tell you?"

"Drop the shit drama queen and tell me what happened." Donghyuck deadpanned.

"You're the drama queen here," Jaemin chuckled softly, much acquainted with Donghyuck's verbal abuse. "I don't know something kind of happened yesterday and now things are a little weird."

"Did it involve a certain Chinese boy?"

"How did you know?"

"Because between beating Chenle he keeps sending extremely concerned glances over here."

"Yeah, well it's not his fault but because he was with me when it happened he kind of got wrapped up in it."

"Oh no, did he get caught in your lovers quarrel."

"Shut up," Jaemin rolled his eyes and punched Donghyuck, "but kind of, yeah. I know he feels bad and probably kind of thinks it's his fault, but it's not."

"Does he know that?"

"Well we haven't really talked about it, we've just kind of ignored it."

"Ignoring your problems is the worst thing you can do Nana, trust me."

"What would you know about this stuff? You've never even dated anyone." Jaemin laughed.

"Fuck off. I have my problems, okay?"

"Does such problem happen to be about this high, blonde hair, pretty cute and named Mark."

"I hate you. I'm gonna tell Jeno you called Mark 'pretty cute'."

Jaemin just chuckled and seemed to have relaxed a little. "Thanks Hyuck. I'm gonna go call Jeno now. Good luck with Mister cute Lee."

Donghyuck flipped Jaemin off as he walked away and strolled back over to Renjun, Chenle and Jisung who happened to be in their own interesting predicament.

"What the good hell are you doing?"

"What ever do you mean?"

"Why are the two of you swinging Chenle back and forth?"

"Help me!" Chenle squeaked as the two continued to swing him by his arms and legs.

"You probably deserve it, so I'm going to leave you with that."

"Actually Hyuck, I needed to talk to you." Renjun let go of Chenle's wrist, said boy still being pulled by Jisung like a vacuum by his ankles.

"Is it about the whole Jaemin Jeno thing?"

"Yeah, did Jaemin tell you?"

"Not much, but I didn't ask further. That's between them."

"I feel bad, things wouldn't have gotten so bad if I wasn't with Nana when it happened. I feel like I caused this whole ordeal."

"Listen, I don't even know what happened, but I know that you were not the cause of it, even Jaemin said that. Whatever is going on with them I'm sure they'll figure out together."

"Thanks Hyuck."

"What are bestfriends for?" Donghyuck winked and wrapped an arm around Renjun as they watched Jisung and Chenle get scolded by a teacher.

School was just ending, Donghyuck was eager to get home, certainly not because a certain blonde haired boy was there, and was almost to the door when a hand placed on his shoulder.

"Hyuck! You won't believe what happened in forth class!" Renjun wheezed as he tried to catch his breath.

"Didn't you literally just run from Mr. Choi's call to here?"

"Yeah, so?"

"That's like halfway down the hall, how are you out of breath?"

"Shut up, anyway, the girl I liked in that class turned me down because she said she thought you and I were a thing."

"WHAT?"

"I know right? To have an A- in that class she's not very bright."

"Why would anyone even think that?"

"I don't know, but it made me wonder if more people think that. Maybe that's why neither of us can get a girlfriend."

"Yeah, I don't think that's why buddy."

"I can dream!"

Both boys made their way out into the sun together, parting ways when Renjun said he was going over to Chenle's to study and Donghyuck continued home.

"I'm home-" The words barely escaped Donghyuck's mouth as he shut the door behind him, being tackled against it the second he turned around.

Arms wrapped around his waist tightly and his bag dropped off his arm to the side, the fabric of a soft shirt pressing against his lips.

An embrace.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm hugging you."

"Why?"

"Because I missed you."

"Disgusting," there was silence, "Don't stop."

"Believe me, I wasn't planning on it."

"So what exactly do you do when I'm at school?" Donghyuck asked as he fiddled with his drawer.

"I mostly hang out with Jae and Tae."

"Please don't call them that."

"What should I call them then?"

"Thing one and thing two."

Mark laughed, deep in his chest and high on his face, and Donghyuck spun around quickly just to watch the way his nose crinkled up lightly.

Mark laughed at most things. It made him feel better about his awful jokes. I guess you could say he liked that about Mark.

"What do you do in there? Like with Taeyong I mean."

Mark stayed quiet, urging Donghyuck to look at him. His face showed him nothing, he couldn't read it.

"Not much, we talk and stuff."

"You know what I mean, Mark."

"I do."

"Then why won't you-"

"What are we?" Mark asked abruptly, causing Donghyuck's words to die in his throat.

This felt like deja vu.

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean, Hyuck." Mark copied.

"Mark, don't do this now. I thought we were over this."

"Does this look like I'm over this?" Mark asked as he raised up his shirt, showing a very evident crack going down his lean stomach.

Donghyuck's jaw clenched along with his fists, his throat going dry. "Mark, I-"

"It's okay, I don't blame you for anything," Mark took a step closer, collecting Donghyuck's hands in his own. "Because despite everything, I still love you."

"Mark, you were made to think that."

"You're right, but I've already fallen in love with you, and I believe I could do it again and again, over and over, forever."

"No one- no one falls in love that fast."

"Do you love me?"

No one falls in love this fast, no one falls in love this fast, no one

"I-"

"Hey Hyuck, I need to borrow Mark for a second!" Jaehyun paused as he slammed open the door. "Oh, whoops, did I interrupt something?"

"Yes!" "No!"

Mark and Donghyuck looked at each other, having a stare down until they ultimately let go.

"I'll uh, I'll be right back Hyuck."

When the door shut and footsteps subsided, Donghyuck was left to his own thoughts.

"He doesn't call me Hyuckie anymore."
