Part 5

Mark's lips unintentionally met Jackson's. They both stared at each other with wide eyes. Neither of them moved a muscle. After what had seemed like hours, Jackson pulled away harshly.

"I-I'm sorry. My face was too close. I was just making sure that the band aids were placed nicely," Jackson said while looking down.

"...I-it's okay," Mark said staring at the floor. There was a great moment of silence. Luckily, Jackson's parents walked in to end the awkwardness.

"Oh, Mark! You're here. That's good, we just bought groceries. You can stay for dinner," Jackson's mom said.

"Okay, Mrs.Wang. Thank you," Mark replied, still shocked from what had happened moments ago.

Mark and Jackson just played games on their cellphones until dinner was ready.

"Dinner's ready!"

"Coming!" Jackson and Mark yelled in unison. They walked to the kitchen and took a seat next to each other. Tonight's dinner was Chinese style chicken, rice, steamed vegetables, and soup.

"So, Mark. Your mom knows you're here right?" Jackson's father asked.

"She's on a business trip right now. She won't be back for awhile so I don't think she really cares."

"Really? What about your dad?"

"He's on a business trip as well. He won't be back for a few months."

"Oh, wow. Well, you can stay here until your mom comes back! You can share a room with Jackson. Plus, school wouldn't be a problem since you both attend the same school!"

"He can really stay?!" Jackson screamed excitedly. Mark wasn't sure if he was actually excited or if he was just acting.

"Of course! Well, what do you say, Mark?"

"Um...sure. It'd be a lot more fun than staying home alone," Mark replied. He was actually excited to be staying with Jackson.

"YAAAAAY!" Jackson screamed, grabbing Mark's arm and resting his head on his shoulder. Mark's hard started thumping again.

"Well it's settled then!" Jackson's mom said.

******After dinner******

Jackson and Mark were in his room.

"I'm gonna take a shower. Wanna join?" Jackson asked.

"No, thanks..."

Mark decided to just listen to music until Jackson finished. He would go in right after. Jackson started to knock from the inside of the bathroom.

"What?" Mark yelled from the bed.

"Can you get my towel? It's on the couch?"

Mark groaned but went to get it anyway. He walked to the bathroom and opened the door. Jackson was completely naked with his junk sticking out.

"YO WHAT THE HELL MAN?!" Mark yelled.

"Oh calm down, we have the same body parts. Who cares," Jackson said rolling his eyes.

"It's just not pleasant to see," Mark said throwing the towel at Jackson's face. Mark walked out of the bathroom and had to clutch his chest to stop his heart from beating hardly. He walked back to the bed and sat down to calm himself.

Why am I like this? I shouldn't be thinking like this. It's not like I'm into him. Hell, I'm not into guys at all. Psh, I'm worrying about nothing, Mark thought to himself.

Jackson walked out of the bathroom wearing basketball shorts and no shirt.

"Would it kill you to wear some clothes, Jackson?"

"Sorry, I like it like this. Get used to it. You don't get to see a body like mine everyday!"

"Oh please. You're so full of yourself."

"Thanks!"

It was Mark's turn to shower. When he was done, he came out shirtless as well.

"Your body isn't so bad, Mark. Would it kill you to wear some clothes?" Jackson mimicked.

"Whatever, idiot."

"It's already midnight. We better sleep or else we won't be able to wake up!"

"Okay."

Jackson jumped onto his bed and rolled over into a sexy position. He patted the empty spot for Mark to lay down. Mark rolled his eyes and walked over to the bed an layed down.

"Night, Mark!"

"Yeah, yeah, good night."

Jackson immediately wrapped his arms and legs around Mark. Mark felt Jackson's warm skin against his own.

"Umm...are you going to rock me to sleep like a baby or something?" Mark asked, slightly blushing.

"Of course! I always need something to hug to sleep. Hugging you is better than hugging a pillow."

"Ugh, whatever. Just don't drool all over my back."

"No promises!"

******3:40 AM******

Mark woke up in the middle of the night to Jackson's sleep talking. Jackson was mumbling something that was inaudible since his face was buried in Mark's back. Mark shifted and Jackson's face turned upwards. You could hear him much clearly.

"Maaark....hah....Marrrrk."

Jeez, is he gonna stop talking or what, Mark thought.

Mark wriggled out of Jackson's grasp and sat up in order to cover his mouth. Before he could place his hand over his mouth, Jackson grabbed Mark with both of his hands and pulled him to his chest.

"Marrrrk....I really really reeeeally like you. Reallllly."

Wait what?!
