"I ate so much I don't think I could ever eat again," Jackson groans as soon as they enter the car to leave his parent's house.

"I was going to make sweet and sour chicken kabobs tonight," Mark intervenes, almost as if he was teasing Jackson and making him purse his lips.

"Okay, maybe I can spare room for dinner."

Mark giggles, linking his hands with Jackson's as they drive back home. Mayleen was passed out in her booster seat, her mouth wide open as she snores cutely. Mark rubs Jackson's arm, looking over at him as he drove with one hand on the wheel, "Kihyun seems nice."

"He is, his husband is cool too. Kinda quiet though," Jackson shrugs, "Kihyun kind of reminds me of Jin."

"How so?"

"Very sassy," Jackson alliterates, "Like, you can tell in his tone of voice but he does it with a smile. It's kind of scary really."

"Jin does that too though?" Mark giggles, "I wonder if he's made an effort to greet them. I know he's not too thrilled with the idea of someone moving in there."

Jackson shakes his head, "What's his deal?"

Mark shrugs, "I don't know, I kind of think he's pregnant with his mood swings and all but he's never said anything and never even hinted around that he is."

"Well he can't always be on his man period," Jackson jokes, "You even mention them to him and he instantly turns hostile. I'm glad you're not that way."

Mark shrugs, "Just don't mess with my husband and my kid and I'll be alright."

Jackson chuckles, "Baby I can guarantee there's no one I'd leave you for." Mark blushes, batting his long eyelashes as Jackson smirks, "Besides, who's going to cut my hair and bleach it for free?"

Mark's mouth drops open and he smacks Jackson's arm a couple times, "You ass!"

"I think you mean, 'your ass' which is mine," Jackson smiles innocently. Mark rolls his eyes before facing his side window. Jackson came to a stop and kissed his husband's cheek, "I love you, don't leave me."

Mark giggles, "Who am I going to find that's better than you?"

"Hopefully no one so promise me even if I piss you off you'll love me forever," Jackson laughs, making Mark laugh too and kiss his husband.

"I will. Kind of too late to run from that since we're married and all," Mark smiles, "And we have a baby."

"She's not a baby, but she's our baby," Jackson clarifies, "Shownu acted like such an excited dad. He was ready to be one and his face always lit up when he talked about Kihyun and the baby."

"You did too," Mark smiles, "You were so thrilled and happy when I was pregnant. And then when Mayleen was born you could hardly keep your hands off of her. I thought for sure you'd quit your job and stay home after she was born but that's not an option," Mark giggles.

"Do you think we should try for another? I know your birth with Mayleen wasn't the most easiest..."

"I tore on a vein and lost quite a bit of blood, and her heart rate was dropping while I was delivering her. I'm just glad we came out alright," Mark said fondly, looking back at his baby girl who looks just like him, but had Jackson's nose. He hums, "Maybe we can try again when she's in kindergarten."

Jackson smiles, "I'd love that."

"He's really not a bad guy," Mark tells Seokjin once they got back from visiting Jackson's family, "Really nice, so is his husband, and he's pregnant."

"Pregnant? How long have him and his husband been together? Me and Namjoon were expecting the twins literally a month after we got married," Seokjin asked, a little taken aback.

"Uhm, probably a year? I'm not sure. We're thinking about inviting them over for dinner soon. Would you guys like to join?" Mark asks slowly, watching as Jin slightly tenses at the question.

"Maybe, we might have plans I'm not sure yet," Seokjin sighs, "Are we still doing pizza night tomorrow?"

"Sure! In fact I may invite them over for it if that's okay," Mark asks again, "it's going to be at my place this time right?"

"Yes, and I can't tell you who you can and can't invite to your own house. It's your house, invite whoever the fuck you want," Seokjin snaps slightly, making Mark flinch.

"Alright, so tomorrow at six? I'm closing the shop at three and going to get the pizza ingredients after I close up. You just want to bring the girls and Namjoon over at six and I'll call Kihyun shortly after you guys arrive?"

"Sure," Seokjin says sharply and Mark sighs.

"Alright, I'm heading home. I promised Jackson I'd make sweet and sour chicken kabobs," Mark stands and shows himself out the door, not once hearing Seokjin tell him good bye or see you later.

Mark rolls his eyes before slamming their door shut and walking across the lawn to his own house. As he stomps, he hears the door across the street open and Kihyun steps out of his house. He waves to Mark, walking across the street to say hi to the man. Mark smiles, "Hi Kihyun!"

"Hey," Kihyun sighs, "I ran out of salt and a few other ingredients to make dinner tonight. Where is the nearest store?"

"It's about a ten minute drive away, want me to take you? I need to get a few things as well," Mark smiles.

"Oh I'd hate for you to do that-"

"Nonsense, I need to get the stuff to make pizzas tomorrow night. Speaking of, would you and Shownu like to join? Me and my friend Seokjin get together every Monday night with our families and make pizzas!"

"Oh really! I haven't had pizza in so long, it gives me really bad heartburn but I would love to! I'll ask Shownu tonight and text you?" Kihyun was excited, Mark can tell. He can also feel eyes burning holes in the side of his head from Seokjin glaring out the window at them.

"Alright! Let me grab my wallet and keys and I'll show you how to get there," Mark heads towards his house and Kihyun stays there. Mark notices and giggles, "Well come on in! You're more than welcomed in my home!"

Kihyun smiles, following Mark inside and shutting the door after him as he grabs his keys hanging up and his bag by the door. Jackson peeks around the corner, smiling, "Where are you two off to?"

"I'm showing him where the nearest grocery store is, I have to go anyway to get pizza ingredients for tomorrow night," Mark smiles, kissing Jackson, "Need anything while I'm out?"

"Beers for the guys and I?" Jackson asks.

"Sure, does Shownu drink?" Mark asks, looking at Kihyun.

"Not a lot but he'll take a beer if you offer him one," Kihyun smiles, "Me however I could drink wine or daiquiris if I wasn't pregnant."

"Same here, or a margarita," Mark giggles, "But we'll just have to make due with strawberry lemonade."

"I am craving strawberries hard core," Kihyun groans, "It's all I eat anymore seriously!"

"Me too! I craved that and chocolate," Mark sighs happily, "Good times, good times. How about I make a strawberry pizza? It'll be like a sugar cookie crust with whipped cream and sliced strawberries and just a drizzle of chocolate."

Kihyun gasps, "I will love you forever if you do that."

Mark giggles, "Alright babe, we'll be back and I'll start dinner once I get home."

"Have fun you two and don't cause trouble," Jackson chuckles.

Mark leads Kihyun to his car and let's him plug his phone in to the aux cord to play his music. While they drive off giggling and talking to one another, a pair of glaring eyes watch from their window as they have fun and leave him all to himself.
