Mark's P.O.V

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sean, or as I should say, Jack came back to the main square with his brand new hair and outfit. And can I just say, that is one sexy ass motherfucker (A/N:  24cupcakecutie24's reaction to the pic X3). The new gear fit him perfectly. 

"Uh, Mark?" Jack said quietly, snapping me out of the trance I was in. His face was slightly pink, probably from everyone staring at him. NO ONE BETTER BE- wait, what am I thinking? Jack is probably as straight as a sword... probably. Maybe. Hopefully not. what was I thinking about again?

"So, uh, can you introduce me to everybody?" Jack asked as he bit his bottom lip nervously. Damn it... I'm fine with him living, but living at the same site, and the same cabin? How am I going to resist...

"Well you should probably get settled at the cabin first," I said, leading him to our cabin. Ryan and Matt  were already setting up another spaced when we reached it.

"Oh, you must be Jack! Hi, I'm Matt," Matt said as he approached Jack and shook his hand.

"Hi! It's nice to meet you, Matt!" Jack said with a shy yet warm smile. I sent a little glare Matt's way and he somehow got the message, and sent me a smug smile. Shit. 

"Hiya, Jack! I would shake your hand and all, but, uh, I'm a little busy," Ryan said as he tried to arrange the room, "Also I'm Ryan."

"Well good to meet ya, Ryan," Jack said. I would glare at Ryan but I was too worried about Matt trying something. He knows me too well... 

"Okay, well, uh, Jack, you're going to have to sorta share your space with Matt for a bit. Sorry," Ryan said as he finished up the makeshift bed. All of our beds were right next to each other, but we all had walls and curtains to separate us and such. Jack was sorta tucked away in  the corner with no walls or curtains between him and Matt's part.

Matt had the most mischievous look on his face and I hated that. I don't like it when he acts like this. 

"Aye," Tom said as he poked his head in through the door, "you guys might want to go to bed. It's getting late. And by might, I mean go the fuck to bed right now."

We all nodded and got ready for bed. I went into my section and got changed into just some pants and took off my glasses and headed to bed. 

I can't stop thinking about Matt being even near Jack... why? I can't let this side get the best of me... there'd be too much to deal with then. I decided to just get some sleep and forget about all this.

Jack's P.O.V

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I tried to get as comfortable as possible, but the bed was just not as soft as the one in the castle. I couldn't settle at all so decided to try to try to fix things up a bit. 

As I was trying to fluff up the pillows, Matt ended up jumping on the bed.

"Dude what the hell??" I whisper yelled but face turned slightly pink when I saw he was just in his shorts. What can I say? I didn't have a lot of human interactions inside the castle, especially not one like this.

"Oh sorry, wrong bed," he whispered back but I could've sworn I saw him wink as he went back to his own bed. I felt my face heat up a bit more. I couldn't help but to wish Mark was the person next to me... 

I sighed as I tried to sleep once more. This time, I actually started falling asleep.

Matt's P.O.V 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I winked at Jack on the way to my own bed, and I saw his face turn slightly pink. I can see why Mark likes him, he was not one with human interactions though. 

As I settled into bed, I tried to think of other ways I could get Mark riled up. It's a good way to keep him distracted from me and Ryan, so we could have some... alone time.

Ryan already knew what I was doing from the moment he saw the look on my face when Mark talked about Jack. He knows me too well, and I'm okay with that, especially since we're supposed to cuddle in the morning.

I grinned to myself because I knew if Jack and Mark got together I wouldn't be the one getting punished. Well, maybe but not by Mark... 

I sighed happily as I drifted into sleep.

This is going to work out perfectly.

~le time skip~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark's P.O.V

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got up a bit earlier than usual. I don't think Ryan nor Matt are even up at this time. 

I got changed into my gear quietly and headed to the door quietly, but I could've sworn I heard voices from Ryan's part, but, of course, the privacy curtains were up so I decided not to think about it that much.

I headed outside and walked over to the food storage area, grabbing an apple along with a casket filled with water and took a seat on a giant random rock near by. 

It was about five am, so nobody was really up. I only saw a few people running around the grounds, trying to finish everything up. Yesterday's patrol was guarding the camp still, and they're probably almost asleep. 

As I took a few more bites of my apple, almost finishing it off, Ryan and Matt walked out, looking over at me in surprises.

"The hell you doing awake, Mark?" Matt asked as he walked over to me as Ryan walked off to get them breakfast.

"I'm eating. Why are you up?" I ask, trying to keep as calm as I could. I just don't trust that smug look on his face...

"Doing the same. How about we chat while we eat?" Matt suggested as Ryan went to go get food.

~Le time skip italics style~

 "I might need to go wake up Kitten, though. Don't want him sleeping in on his first day," Matt said, glancing over at the cabin with a devilish smirk. Oh fuck no. He did NOT just call MY pet that.

"I'll do it. I'm already done. I'll be right back with Ki-Jack," I said, glaring at him. He just gave me a sickeningly sweet smile. I just sighed and got up from my rock, threw the apple core towards the trees, and headed towards the cabin. Might as well as keep casket for a bit, since there's still water in it.

I entered the cabin and went over to Matt and Jack's side of the room.

"Jack? Are you up?" I asked, and I heard no response. I listened closely only to hear soft snoring coming from inside. 

I entered the area to see Jack still sleeping, so I decided to shake him awake. 

"Jaaaaack get up," I said as I shook his body and he just mumbled incoherently in response. 

I sighed and shook harder. Still no luck. 

"Jack if you don't get out of bed will pour this water on your head," I threatened, but he just rolled around to the other side.

"You asked for it..," I say as i pour water on his face.

Jack's P.O.V

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You asked for it..," Mark said as I felt icy cold water hit my face.

"Holy fook that's cold!" I said jumping out of bed, wide eyed and awake. Mark just snickered and said, "Yeah, like I said, you asked for it. Now get ready, it's almost time to get assignments."

With that he left me in the cabin all alone. I quickly got ready and headed out of the cabin and did the best I could to try to tame my hair. 

As soon as I got out, Mark was heading towards the cabin with an apple and a.... thing.

"The hell is that, Mark?" I asked, my 'accent', as the guards called it, was a bit thicker than usual. I never knew why I have an accent, I just... have it. My dad and mum don't have one, so it was all a mystery to me.

"It's an apple," Mark said hastily as he shoved the apple and thing into one of my hands an took hold of the free one, making me turn slightly pink. I need to stop blushing at fookin' everything.... 

He rushed me down to a place where a bunch of people were gathered, waiting by a large tree stump. I ate my apple as quietly as I could as Tom stepped up onto the stump.

"Alright everyone, listen up. I'm going right to assignments today. Mark's group, since you have the newbie with you, you can take patrol. Be careful, though. I heard there are other people settling near this area," he said. We all nodded as we headed off to the patrolling spot in the woods, not even bothering to see what everyone else's assignments were.

~Midget time skip to later in the day~

"Okay, so I'll take Jack to scout the boundaries with and you two can stay here. Sound good?" Mark asked as I threw my apple core at one of the trees hitting a bird in the process. Whoops.

"Yeah, that's fine. Just make sure kitten doesn't get hurt," Matt said with a smirk. I felt my face heat up so I just looked away. I assume Ryan agreed because pretty soon Mark took my hand again and we went on deeper into the woods.

~le time skip bolded, italics, AND underlined :o~

"So yeah, you should try remembering the layout of the area.It's crucial information if you get lost," Mark stated. I have to say, this walk was kind of nice. The birds were singing, flowers were blooming... on days like these, people should really go out and enjoy nature. 

Alas, our pleasant walk was soon halted to a stop when something came at me at unbelievable speed and pinned me to the tree behind me so roughly that I shut my eyes and grunted in pain. I freaked out a bit and started to struggle but my muscles relaxed on their own, like I had no control over them.

"Why, hello there. Aren't you a cute one?" the person said. I open my eyes slowly to see someone that looked.... like, well, Mark. Except with grayish skin, a sharp-tooth grin, and eyes that were all black except for red pupils, and slightly pointed ears. I whimpered slightly at the sight of him.

"Dark, what did I say about the borders? Stay on your side, you're on a different team. And put down Jack, for fucks sake!" Mark yelled at the guy, who I assumed was Dark, but Dark kept me pinned to the tree as he looked back at Mark.

"Red, You didn't tell me you got a new recruit! He's so small and frail... I could kill him right now! Of course, I'd much rather take him hostage, considering he probably has critical information. Plus he's so cute and innocent looking, I could just fuck him right now," Dark said with a small laugh, and I felt my face heat up like a wildfire. I tried to turn away as much as I could, but that didn't really work out with being pinned down and all. 

"Dark, don't. You know that would break the truce- plus we have that meeting coming up in a week, and you're group is going to be staying with ours for a bit afterwards, remember?" Mark negotiated, and Dark just sighed and set me on the ground. I was still in a state of shock from all of this, so I was unable to say a word.

"Alright, alright. You win this one, Red. See you in a week, cutie," Dark said with a wink as he walked off on his side of the woods. Just as he disappeared, a person came running from another direction on their side.They looked like... me??? 

"Where the fook is Dark?" the guy asked, his accent clearly shown. I can't even believe what I'm seeing. It was me, but slightly more muscular and had light grayish skin with long pointy ears. One of his eyes were black with a green pupil, and the other one was green with a blue iris and black pupil, making it look... septic.

"Oh, hi Anti. You just missed him," Mark said casually and pointed in the direction Dark walked off.

"Thanks, Red," Anti said as he rushed off in that direction, calling Dark's name.

"....Wh-what was... The fook is going on here??" I panicked, my mind filled with confusion. Mark just place his hands on my shoulders firmly and looked me, his light brown eyes giving me a warm feeling. 

"Those are people you do not want to mess with. They're like us, but... different. It's hard explain. Just know that you and Anti are technically related, same goes for me and Dark," Mark explained, and the took my hand and dragged me along, not saying much more.

The fook is going on?!?!?

I tried to make sound more Irish. Did it work? XD I also realized how slightly modern I made the past be... OH WELL

Hope you enjoyed and have a nice day!
