Lies? (1/1)

Mark sat in the hairdressers about two hours before he was supposed to meet Jaebum, he was too busy worrying about what he was going to say to Jackson to be paying any attention to the hairdresser. He mumbled a yes when he thought appropriate and mixed it up with a few nods in between. He felt the woman cutting his hair at first, and he looked down and saw quite a bit coming off and then immediately regretted not paying attention. By the end of it his hair was now shorter towards the sides and slightly longer on the top, though it didn't really look much different than before. As he began to rise out of the chair the woman sat him right back down again while shouting about how she wasn't finished and that this is what he had paid for, a trim and then a dye. Mark looked at her in horror before quickly explaining that no that was definitely not what he had paid for.Sighing in defeat he sat back down in the chair, he had already paid the extra money so there was no use wasting it. He browsed through the sections in the sample book of colours. Mark wanted a change, he felt like having a big one. The soon to be former red head was over coming lots of fears today so he boldly pointed out a very light blonde colour towards the front of the book and insisted that he wanted that one. About an hour later after some acidic smelling paste and weird tinfoil being put on his head it was done. And Mark was absolutely in love with it. He'd never even imagined himself as a blonde but the hair colour suited him so well. As Mark was feeling extra brave today instead of wasting time fussing over what clothes to wear he decided to wear the clothes he'd always been too scared to wear. Black skinny jeans with rips along the thigh and knee now clung to his long legs, and a loose muscle tank adorned his top half. Some brand he didn't recognise written across his chest as the vest hung low on the sides, exposing most of his rib cage and the beginning of a slim waist. With time to kill he turned on the tv and waited until he had to leave. Judging by the look on Jaebum's face when he saw Mark, Mark had made all the right decisions during that day. His jaw was hanging open as he drank in Mark's new look."Dude, when did this happen? Where the hell did Mark go?" Jaebum laughed before continuing with "damn this guy is seriously gonna regret whatever he did"."Oh and Mark, on that note of pissing guys off, I have a favour to ask. One that could work very well for both of us, you interested?" Jaebum asked nervously, the effects of Mark's new look were still hitting him hard."Depends, go on, explain then" he replied, cheeks flushed from his friends words."Well, there's this guy I know, Jinyoung is his name, and like I really like him and I think he likes me so I kinda wanna use you to make him jealous to see if he reacts at all? Please? It'll do the same thing for your guy as well so if you just consider-""No problem, let's do it, but like how? I've just gotta act like I'm into you right? Shouldn't be too hard." Mark interrupted before winking at the other and dragging him towards the restaurant. Jaebum could hear Mark trying to calm his breathing as he stood in front of the door, and placing a hand on the small of his back he tried to sooth the elder. Mark reached for the handle and turned while simultaneously slipping an arm around Jaebum's middle and tugging the over off balance as they both fell through the door. The now blonde haired boy began giggling at the others squeak of surprised. The laughter quickly died out as he felt strong arms wrap around his waist and pull him closer to prevent him from falling. He stared up at Jaebum as they both began grinning while their cheeks flushed at deep red. Mark untangled himself from the other and walked up to the counter only to find both Jackson and Jinyoung staring at them both in horror. "Hey Jackson, Jinyoung I haven't seen you in a while" he nodded casually at both of them, especially enjoying how confused Jackson looked."Mark, Mark is that you?" Jackson questioned in disbelief."Yeah course it's me you idiot, are you blind?" He bit out harshly. "Though it's not just me today, I brought a, well uh a friend? Yeah let's go with friend." Mark threw a lingering look over his shoulder at Jaebum and bit his lip at the other who quickly closed the distance between them. With one hand resting across Mark's shoulders he whispered into his ear."So that's the Jackson you meant, me and him are kinda friends but I'll get onto that later. I didn't think that he'd be your type but you were wrong when you told me about this earlier, I know that Jackson is definitely feeling you, at least he wants to be" Mark started giggling again with Jaebum's words."That's the Jinyoung that warned me about Jackson, small world huh? And I think it's definitely working, Jinyoung looks like he wants to kill me" Mark whispered in response after raising a hand to yank Jaebum's head to the side so he could brush his lips over the other ear and neck while he spoke.

The complete fury that was directed at them both from different people only made this little victory sweeter. Both of them ordered before sitting down together. Once Jinyoung and Jackson weren't looking the two reverted back to normal, which still meant they were constantly laughing and smiling it just meant there was no longer a hand on his painfully obvious on his thigh.Jackson was in shock, Mark looked seriously good. Like sinfully good in those tight jeans, he was just itching to run his hands over the smooth skin that the low hanging vest revealed. And the blonde hair. Jackson had barely recognised him and when it finally struck a cord he saw red at the fact that Jaebum had an arm wrapped around his Mark."Wait isn't that the Jaebum you're really good friends with Jinyoung? Has he mentioned anything about being interested in Mark?" Jackson asked quickly, desperate for an answer."No he hasn't mentioned Mark at all, sorry" Jinyoung replied bitterly, seeing the same shade of crimson as he saw Mark yank Jaebum's head to the side so his lips could brush the others neck. An action Jinyoung had craved doing a thousand times.

Jackson groaned in defeat as he looked at Mark. He had missed the other so much, the only highlight of his his week was getting to spend a few hours with Mark on Thursdays and Saturdays. But then the other stopped coming. Jackson would always secretly hope that Mark would walk in on those days, or any days, he just wanted to see the boy so damn much. He knew that this wasn't normal, to miss a friend this much, but maybe Mark was more than just a friend to Jackson. He got his wish though, Mark was back, given he'd brought Jaebum along but Jackson was friends with Jaebum. So why was there an weight in his chest whenever he saw the two of them together?"It's definitely working" Jaebum whispered."I know, Jinyoung looks murderous and well, Jackson actually looks really sad" Mark trailed off at the end. Truth is that he'd missed Jackson, a lot, a lot more than just friends should. But the ache of missing him was much better than coming here and flirting with the other while knowing it was just a game to Jackson"I'm gonna go to the bathroom, hopefully Jackson will come over now that I'm gone" Jaebum spoke quietly while giving the other a thumbs up before disappearing from the table. Seconds later, as expected, Jackson walked over to the table and awkwardly hovered before sitting down.

"Why Mark? Jackson said gently, sinking down into the chair in defeat."Why what? Why am I here? Why didn't I come back? Why am I mad at you? Why am I here with Jaebum? Be a little bit more specific please Jackson." Mark said bluntly, he was glad to finally be getting this off his chest. The anger and frustration towards the other had only built and built during their time apart."All of them, please I just, I just need to know why." Jackson begged before reaching over to grab Mark's hands, looking over to him with puppy eyes on full force."No no Jackson don't do that please, it's not fair! Do you know how hard it is to be mad at you when you look at me like that?" Mark half shouted, trying to pull his hands away but Jackson wasn't complying. He gave up and relaxed his hands, Mark tried to fight off a soft smile as Jackson drew patterns with his fingers on the backs of his hands."I came here with Jaebum as friends, he's here because I was too scared to talk to you by myself. The reason I didn't come back is because I'm mad at you! And that's because I thought that you weren't serious, that when you were flirting with me it was just a game to you. I was told more specifically that the whole helping me use chopsticks was one of your 'moves' that you use on every guy that walks here." Mark was almost shouting now, and had moved in closer to Jackson in order to shout directly into his face. Jackson merely stared up in shock, where the hell did Mark get this idea from, and who told him this?!

"Jackson I like you." These words were definitely enough to snap Jackson out of his trance. The boy surged up out of his seat and took the final step to press him and Mark flush together. The other remained sitting while Jackson stood above him, hands still linked together."Mark, I don't know who told you that, or why, but it's not true! Why would I flirt with everyone who walked in when I have you? Hell, I even nearly got fired for being so distracted by you when you come in! Mark I like you, like a lot, so please believe me?" Now it was Mark's turn to be completely stunned. "If you don't believe me, then can you just give me another chance?" "I don't know Jackson. Jackso-eek!" Mark squealed in surprise as Jackson had closed whatever distance left and was now hovering merely inches above his face."Please Mark" Jackson whispered, his hands coming up to cradle Mark's face. "I'm so sorry that you had to feel like this, I'm serious about you Mark."The intensity of Jackson stare and his words caused a blush to flare up on his cheeks. But the fact that Jackson had his eyes glued onto Mark's lips had the blush spreading till his entire face was red."I'm serious about you too Jackson, can we start over?" Mark whispered, palms now pressed against Jackson's chest, his hands causing the fabric to bunch up in his grip. The blonde boy bit his lip as one hand slipped down to rest at the nape of his neck. "Yeah I'd like that, I'd also like it if you stopped being such a tease. I'm not dumb I can see you biting your lip Mark"  Jackson said while smirking."Oh really? Is that so? Like you aren't a tease as well, but if you want me to stop I guess you'll have to do something about it" the smirk was returned with just as flirtatious words.

"I guess I will then".Lips finally crashed together after months of flirting. Mark could feel Jackson grinning into the kiss and he decided that he wanted to wipe that permanent grin off his face for once. The blonde boy quickly stood, startling Jackson who stumbled backwards. But the hands still on his chest tugged him back until he crashed back into Mark. Their lips reunited with the same force and there was no teasing now. Jacksons hand slipped into Mark's hair and pulled on the blonde locks. Mark's dragged his hands down Jackson's chest before gripping his hips tightly. The grin was definitely long gone as Mark heard Jackson groan as his fingertips brushed over the sliver of exposed skin between his shirt and trousers. It was his turn to groan as Jackson slipped his tongue into his mouth, Mark had never kissed anyone like this before. Lips were sliding together hotly and occasionally teeth clashed together. Their tongue met and glided over each other and Mark moaned yet again.He could barely breath, Mark had to pull away, his head was so fuzzy and the room was starting to spin. He was getting drunk on Jackson's kiss. Just as he tried to pull away and remove his tongue from Jackson's mouth, the others lips sealed around the wet muscle. Jackson sucked lightly. Mark swore in every language he knew at once. A new feeling sparked through him as Jackson continued to suck lightly and it went straight to his crotch. Lips met once again and it was seriously getting out of hand, Jackson had backed Mark up till he bumped into the table behind it. Jackson had then grabbed his ass and hoisted him up onto the table, settling himself between Mark's legs. With more will power than he knew he possessed, Mark finally pulled away. But not before running his hands up Jackson's body and slipping them into his black hair gripping tightly. The blonde boy bit down and sucked harshly on the others bottom lip as he tugged Jackson's head back by pulling on the dark locks. The air around them was becoming heated and it probably would of escalated had Jaebum not coughed loudly behind them, causing the two to jump apart."Sorry I took so long, I uh had something to deal with" Jaebum mumbled, cheeks red though due to the fact that the skin was torn on his knuckles it was out of anger and not something else. "I think I'll be going now, I'll leave you two alone. But I'll talk to you later okay Mark?" "Yeah sure that's fine, thank you for helping me Jaebum" Mark replied, watching his friend storm out of the restaurant. It was then that he saw a very pale Jinyoung walk out of the bathroom. Jinyoung mumbled something almost identical to what Jaebum said before leaving as well.

The two boys were worried about their friends but were too caught up in each other to really let it bother them. They finally sat down together after months of dancing around each other, knowing that they were finally together. Mark decided that he would definitely be coming to the little shop for Jackson alone now, the food was just a bonus. That's it, we've reached the end of this fanfiction, I hope you enjoyed reading it because I definetely enjoyed writing this. I might be writing a different fanfiction focusing on the Jinyoung and Jaebum aspect from this story as I did not really really focus on those two at all within this. Thank you again for readings my Markson fanfiction I really hoped you liked it and enjoyed reading it :)
