After the embrace, the recreated couple just talked with each other. When dinner time rolled around, they made cheap macaroni and cheese together, talking and laughing like old times. After dinner, they watched the television together, where they shared their first kiss since they were together again.

They were watching old cartoons and just talking, when they looked into each others' eyes, reminiscing about their relationship.

It was then when Mark leaned forward and connected his lips to Jack's. The spark was still there, the same spark that came about in their very first kiss.

After Mark pulled away, they smiled at each other. Jack's hands went up to Mark's face, then, Jack was the one to kiss Mark this time.

It quickly became more passionate, and the slightest bit lustful, but it wasn't complete lust. There was a lot of love involved, as well.

The remade couple then made love to each other for the first time.

{*****}

It was early when Jack awoke. It was nearly six a.m.

Mark was asleep next to him in his bed. Then the memories of the night before flooded into Jack's mind, making his whole face turn red. That was his first time, though he was sure it wasn't Mark's.

He got up, clothed himself, then left his bedroom.

He went into the kitchen and started on breakfast. He made something simple: scrambled eggs and bacon. He ate by himself, then when he was finished, he washed his plate. He grabbed his phone, then unlocked it and went on the Twitter app. He just scrolled for a while, switching between apps here and there.

Mark got up around seven-thirty, only wearing his sweat pants that he wore the day before, "Good morning," He said in his raspy morning voice.

"Morning," Jack said, locking his phone and putting it face-down on the table.

"Did you make breakfast?"

"Yeah," Jack said, "But I made it about an hour ago so you might need to heat it up in the microwave."

"Gotcha," Mark said, "Thanks, babe."

"Yup," Jack said, "I lo- uh, y-you're welcome."

"Yeah," Mark said, a bit awkwardly, "Well I'm gonna use the restroom."

"Alright," Jack said. As Mark went to the bathroom, Jack heard his phone ring, which was still on the table.

Jack looked at the screen, it said, "Emmett" on the screen. Jack answered it.

"Hey, Mark," Emmett said, "How's our little plan going?"

"What plan?" Jack said, in the best impression of Mark that he could muster.

Emmett answered. He didn't seem to notice that it wasn't Mark, "You know, the one that involves you faking a relationship with Jack, breaking his heart? Ring any bells?"

Jack took a sharp intake of breath before slamming the phone on the table, after hanging up, of course.

When Mark returned to the kitchen, he noticed that Jack had a furious expression strewn across his face.

"Jack, you okay?"

"I know about your 'plan', Mark," Jack said.

"Uh, what?" Mark answered.

"I answered your phone when Emmett was calling," Jack said, "He told me what you two planned to do."

"Jack," Mark said, "That was befo-"

"Before what, Mark?" Jack spat out, standing up, "You lead me on."

Mark stayed silent, whereas Jack bitterly laughed, though he was not at all amused, "Why did I ever forgive you? What was I on? Fuck you, Mark. Get out of my house."

"Jack, I-I'm sorry!"

"I don't care!" Jack yelled, "I thought this time would be different! I fucking loved you, Mark! I still do! But I guess that's not good enough for you, is it?!"

"It is, it really is! Jack, please," Mark pleaded.

"You heard me!" Jack yelled again, "Grab your shit and get the fuck out of my hou-"

Mark cut him off by pressing his lips to him. Jack couldn't help but kiss back. Tears were falling down his face at a fast rate.

"Wh-" Jack said.

"I never meant this to happen," Mark said, "I'm sorry."

Jack just stayed quiet. He went over to his table and sat at it as he cried.

"Emmett just... he hates you all of a sudden and I don't know why. Jack, I... at first I meant this to be a stupid prank, but once we started talking again, I just... I wanted you back. I realized how much me leaving you affected you. But yet, I continued talking to Emmett. Ever since we started talking again, I've fallen for you once again," Mark explained.

"Why did you break up with me, way back when we left for college?" Jack asked, "With no explanation whatsoever?"

"I was really freaked out about leaving home, and I suck at long distance. I didn't want to hurt you, but I did. I did so much. You mean so much to me, Jack. You really do."

Jack didn't reply right away, he thought of a response, "I understand, but at the same time, why didn't you give it a shot? You know, for long distance..?"

"I-I don't know," Mark said, "But what matters now is that we're together again."

Mark put his hand on top of Jack's, "I appreciate you so much, Jack."

Jack smiled, a blush creeping onto his cheeks.

"You said you still loved me," Mark said, looking down at their entwined fingers.

"I did say that," Jack said, "It's true."

"I can't believe that you actually still care about me after all of the bullshit I put you through."

"I'm an idiot in love, I guess," Jack said.

"I suppose I am, too," Mark said, looking up at Jack's eyes with a smile, "I love you, Jack. Still."
