Chapter Text
Mark must have had a death wish. That was the only possible answer as to why he was doing this. That or he was just plain crazy, out of his mind. Maybe the loneliness was finally starting to get to him. Whatever the reason was, he found himself out in the open, in perfect view of the human. By choice.
He watched as the human slept on from his place on the nightstand. The steady rise and fall of the green haired man’s chest almost hypnotizing. The tiny wouldn’t deny that the human terrified him. He was big and loud and way too energized for Mark’s own good. Mark didn’t even want to think about what he would do with a tiny.
But, like this, when the human was sleeping and calm, it was different. Mark almost felt safe with him like this. It was like his fear was pushed aside for a moment. Not to say he still wasn’t scared, the human could wake up at any time after all, but the calmness that Jack was feeling in his sleep washed over Mark as well. It was nice.
After watching Jack like this for the past week or so, Mark had found out that Jack was pretty still when he slept. A huge contrast to when he was awake. The tiny would have assumed he would be fidgety, always tossing and turning. But nope, he probably saved all of that for when he was awake.
Jack let out a heavier breath than the rest and his chest hiccuped slightly. Mark stood, taking that as his cue to leave. The human wasn’t awake yet, but the process had started. He walked over to the lamps cord and took it in his hands. He sent one last glance towards the human before climbing down. Out of sight once again.
