Message In A Bottle ↬Markson

Chapter 12

At 6.15am the next morning Mark's phone rings, indicating he has to get up. Both Mark and Jackson groan hearing the loud beeping coming from the device. Mark quickly reaches over to silent the alarm, the ringing too loud and too early for this morning.

A sigh leaves Mark's lips when he finally shuts off the alarm. He feels his muscles relax instantly and Jackson and him are still laying in the same position as last night, tangled up with each other.

The best friends had approximately four and a half hours of sleep but Mark had to get up because of work. He has to be at his grocery store at 7.25am and today he really hates the fact that he opens up so early.

He looks down at Jackson who is drifting off to sleep again, he didn't want to stand up. He feels Jackson's warm hand on his chest, it moved slightly up from where it was last night. The heat that radiates from the warm sheets and Jackson laying half next to him and half on top of him made this morning incredibly difficult to get up.

"Jackson-ah, wake up." Mark softly calls while brushing Jackson's fringe away from his eyes.

The other just stirs and buries his head further in Mark's chest while clutching onto his shirt.

"I don't want to get up yet.." Jackson murmurs, voice deep and raspy from the loud waking.

Mark continues to brush Jackson's hair, "I know, me neither but my store isn't going to run itself."

"Can't you just call Jaebum or Youngjae to take over for today?"

"They have classes today so sadly, no."

Jackson groans, finally looking up to Mark, his eyes still red from the lack of sleep.

"I just want to lay in bed a little more and cuddle, please Mark hyung, please." Jackson whined.

"I'm sorry Jacks I can't. Besides, don't you have to get to internship or school?"

"No, I actually have a day off today."

"Okay, so how about you just accompany me to work then? We can still be together and there won't be as much people today as it's Monday."

Jackson lets out a loud sigh, giving up on that he won't be able to lay in bed longer nor will be able to be close to Mark any other way today.

"Fine, but I'll need a lot of coffee to stay awake throughout the day."

Mark smiles, "Of course, I think I will need a lot myself aswell."

Mark sits up, supporting himself on his elbows and Jackson practically fell of off him but gets up aswell. Mark looks at Jackson, who is rubbing his eyes and yawning, he thinks he looked quite cute with his mouth a little agape as he rubs his eyes with his hands. His hair is half standing up and the other half looks okay as that was the part that Mark brushed his finger through. He quickly adverts his gaze and gets himself up.

They both took a very quick shower. When Jackson comes downstairs the coffee smell filled the air and makes its way to his nostrils, he loves the smell of coffee in the morning. He inhales the smell and walks over to Mark, who is pouring the dark liquid in two large coffee mugs.

Jackson wraps his hands around Mark's waist, back hugging the other. The elder jumps slightly of the sudden touch but he continues pouring the liquid in until both of the cups are fully filled with the hot caffeine drink.

Mark already knows what kind of day this was going to be, if Jackson was this affectionate this early in the morning then it means that he'll be clingy all day. Of course Jackson is already quite clingy on a daily basis but when he is tired he is more clingy than normal.
