Donghyuck shivered turning numb as he heard the faint scrunching of feet coming closer to him. Part of him feared it was some man who wanted him but part of felt the slightest of warmth that it was his Papa or Maybe Jeno or atleast Jisung. Little did he know it was someone else.

"You are ice cold." The strong deep voice he knew too well whispered.

"M-Mark?" Haechan looked up to see Marks soft smile his warm arms reaching for those cold shivering ones.

"I miss you little one...." Whispered Mark and that was all it took for the brunette to throw himself on his husband break down as he cried into Marks chest.

"Lets get you home before I loose my wife forever." Saying so the man removed his jacket as he wrapped it around Donghyuck and carried him home to the small cottage like house down the forest way.

Mark did come back, With Doyoung, even though it took him 6 months to find his way back home to his wife he certainly did. He stripped his dear ice cold wife naked as he washed the boy with warm water and wrapped him up with fluffy warm clothes and tucked him in bed.

"This boy had been missing for 48 hours. I thought I lost him for good." Taeil sighed softly. Jaemin and the boys came into Haechans small but cozy room to see their precious friend writhing in fever under his thick comforter.

"M-Mama......Mama." The brunette mumbled in his sleep crying as Doyoung sat next to him letting his dainty fingers comb his only sons soft hair.

"I'm here baby." Doyoung whispered and those big doe eyes sprang to life as he sat up shocked.

"M-Mama!?" Donghyuck gasped hugging the bunny like mans frame tightly.

"He's here too darling." Whispered Doyoung making the sick brunette turn around to face his handsomely breathtaking husband. It wasnt him dreaming then? Mark was really here?

"Little one your so cold." Mark smiled at the younger, it tightened Haechans heart to see nothing but sorrow in those eyes that once carried so much of emotions. It no longer harboured happiness.

Donghyuck lost his concious once again, he was down with high fever and the frost had still not left his body. Mark stayed beside him in the warm damp room sitting up right on the single bed. The room wasnt huge, neither was it small, with messy pictures of the boys friends hanging on fairy lights and teddy bears strewn here and there. Books and snacks stacked up on a cozy corner on the wooden floor with a small pillow fort that could hold six boys. A closet with over sized shirts and cropped hoodies, messily kept boxers and short shorts, sweat pants hanging lazily over a the window and pictures of red velvet stuck on the wall.

"Good Morning baby." Mark smiled softly when Donghyuck woke up with a pout and whimper.

"I-I'm not hallucinating right?" The younger tiredly reached out an arm to feel Marks soft cheek. The Duke chuckled holding the cold arm and kissed the inner pad of the arm.

"No." Said Mark.

"W-Why did you t-take so long?" Haechans parched lips trembled as he crawled inbetween Marks upright limbs.

"I-I.....I....." The Duke fumbled for his words, his arms squeezing those stubby soft arms as his wifes eyes seeked for the answer he didnt have.

Mark pulled Donghyucks nape, smashing their lips together, not knowing how to explain what his palace was like neither did he know how to tell the boy his feelings of agony. He missed his wife so much it snapped him. The youngers burst out crying amidst the kiss his arms hugging his husbands neck as the Duke kept pulling the brunettes hot frane closer. His lips slanting only to kiss Haechan deeper and deeper until the beauty drops.

"T-Thats.....Heartbreaking?" Chenle started crying as he hugged Jisung tight. Jaemin and Renjun hid their faces in Jenos chest as Doyoung smiled leaning his head on Taeil.

The kiss was sweet, innocent, delicate but carried such intense emotions that it stole Haechans breath making him gasp for it every second he got. He didnt complain but was indeed amazed at how long Mark could hold his breath. When Doyoung gestured the boys to leave and they left closing the door, Mark left those swollen lips as he butterfly kissed the warm collar bone and neck.

"I love you Mark.....I really do I never......I'm sorry I left you." Haechan panted when the older stared at him with longing orbs.

"Its alright little one......" Mark smiled but tear rolled down his eyes. "I love you more even though you tore my heart into pieces that night." Cried the Duke hugging his wife tightly.

"I-I'm sorry Mark....I left for your own good. I wanted you to fight for your happiness." The younger kissed away the mans tears.

"You were my happiness Hyuck. You were all I ever wanted to keep all to myself. After you left who do I have to fight for? No one!?" Growled Mark making the younger bite his lips and cry.

"Forgive me Mark.....Please." Donghyuck pouted at the older.

"I forgive you baby. Come back to me please, I cant live without you anymore." Mark pleaded squeezing his lovers arms.

"I-I'm afraid but........I will. For.....I cant live you either you big childish dummy!" Haechan smiled through his tears as he connected their lips, pulling Mark down with him onto the tiny single bed.

"Pinky Swear?" Mark pulled the sick bundle closer, sneaking his arms under the boys hoodie just to feel the sinfully soft skin.

"Pinky swear. I think we should change your bed into a single one. So we could feel each others bodies every night since we'd sleep so close." The brunette giggled tangling his legs with Marks and moaning playfully when the older felt him on sensitive places.

"Though its big havent we always slept close to each other hmm? You feel very virgin like it tempts me to love you 3 billion." Mark whispered in Donghyucks doll like ears making him blush and giggle.

"Grand Duke I'm having fever......But on second thought I'd love it." The younger whispered shyly.
