"Night is approaching, Captain." The robotic voice of his system rang out on his ship breaking the silence. Mark sighed, stretching and putting his pencil down. He was hoovering outside the pale looking planet as he has done for many months, just observing. That was his usual protocol though unlike most pirates he liked to map out the planets he went too observe it; to see if it was dangerous or not. However he'd been stuck observing this planet for longer than usual. It was quite far into the galaxy and looked undiscovered by humans. Mark also didn't like to loot planets like most pirates did either rather just collect information on it for the world to know about or even to just fed his own curiosity. He liked meeting the live-forms on other planets too, seeing how differently or not they functioned to humans. He could even go as far to say he had friends from other planets.

;

He was gearing up to go onto the planet which he didn't even know its name; calling to his system to send a distress signal after eight hours in case he got hurt or captured, his usual protocol when visiting a new planet. Mark felt more nervous than usual but steadied his breath and walked off his beloved ship passed down from his father. The planets ground was pretty smooth; like a giant stone underneath his feet. Its buildings looked almost upside down compared to earths regular ones. Speaking of earth, he had not been to his own home planet in years, he wondered if it was still chaos and war ridden. Shaking his thoughts, he continued his wonder. He left Earth for a reason.

He came across a huge building; Which he decided to take a drawing of, he was no Nathan Drake but it helped. Mark liked being 'old fashioned' carrying maps and pencils in his pockets. It was then he noticed a man glaring at him from the side of the building; questioning his presence. He didn't notice anything immediately different from the life forms appearance but, his eye sight was getting bad. Or perhaps it could imitate different forms, he had no idea. But the mans presence was hypnotic he found himself stepping closer and closer.

"I bring no harm." Mark spoke, raising his hands. The man- life form nodded towards him smiling. "I know you. You're that pirate that isn't actually a pirate." An accent which sounded like the Earths Irish one; he loved that accent. But the alien(?) knew of Mark!?

"Really?" Mark asked, bewildered. This form was so damn pretty he was a little distracted. "What brings you here?"

"I'm curious of your stunning planet."

"I'm Jack, Prince of Quatre Trefle. (Four clover, shitty French translation I'm sorry) I know of your kind; You are from Earth?"Jack titled his head, curious; cute.

"Yup! I'm Mark the worst space pirate in the atmosphere, nice to meet you."

He followed Jack around to a separate building, The prince explaining that he was fascinated by planets like Earth thus learning the language which he preferred to use even on his own planet. He hadn't had a chance to visit Earth though. Jack was halfway through showing him the building they were at when he heard footsteps and pushed Mark around the side of the building so he was hidden from sight.

It appeared that Jack returned to his native language; speaking to somebody which he could not understand,cruse his lack of preparation.

"Father, I was just on a walk; Whats the matter?" Jack stood up straight, forging innocence.

"There is an unknown ship docked outside our planet; prepare for an invasion."

His father was rather unwelcoming of life forms from different planets after a war was brought here causing devastation. Jack had learned to be more accepting even though forbidden, he still communicated with forms from other planets; including humans.

After his father left abruptly; Jack knew he had to act fast.

"Long story short, My father is not accepting of strangers from other planets and has spotted your ship; He thinks people are trying to invade us and given the chance; he'll destroy it. You must go." Mark just nodded, a little shaken and kind of disappointed, however he knew he'd return regardless and perhaps try to reason with Jacks Father and presumably, King of this Planet. Jack particularly dragged him back to his ship. "I will send you a signal in a few days, please come back."

;

Mark struggled to sleep on his ship; After writing notes about the planet his mind was reeling. He was more curious than ever about the planet about Jack; The alien? was by far the prettiest thing hes ever seen. He waited, days pasing his ship for the most parts.

Then came the noise.

It was almost deafening; ringing and Mark did have to cover his ears; putting the ship on autopilot to become closer to the planet. Instead of Mark walking onto the planet; Jack walked onto his ship. He presented himself like a prince, Standing up straight and strong like he could have Mark doing anything he wanted him to at the snap of his fingers, he could.

Shaking of his thoughts, Mark starred at the man in front of him.

"I want you to meet my father, show him that you will cause no harm."

;

It was a bad idea. He got thrown in prison as soon as his father laid dark green eyes on him. Jack protested as best he could arguing and even in his native tongue it was viscous. Mark was thrown in the cell; his sides racking off the gravel ground that would leave a bruise. The guards had no mercy. Mark just hoped Jack was okay, from what he heard the argument was getting heated pretty fast. He didn't even get to say he was here for research purposes only. He felt dizzy; the walls seemed to cave in on him, it certainly did not help he was in darkness either - he had fought imps and dragons but damn, tight spaces and darkness were his weakness. The darkness surrounded him.

;

He arose with a soothing voice waking him up, he was a little startled but seeing Jack behind the bars was immediately comforting.

"We have to get you out of here."

Everything was a blur then; They fought there way through countless guards and Mark was almost stunned at how Jack fought, oddly elegant but dangerous.

He was completely smitten by this Prince.

Everything went incredibly fast until they were at the entrance of the building too many guards to count on hands outside and Jacks father too. Then it all slowed down. Jack and Mark continued to fight and Jacks father watched as they took down each guard and He could have reacted faster than he did; Should have been weary.

Jacks Father; pulled a knife out and caught Marks side. Things seemed to fade and all he heard was Jacks anger and screaming.

;

A sharp pain but blue eyes to stare into. He titled his head, groaning. It appeared they were off the planet and Jack was nursing his wound. He didnt remember fully but he thought he had been stabbed and judging by the blood stained tissue on his side he was correct.

"Where are we going?"

"I searched your contacts, I found a doctor you know of and we're going to see him to get you stitched up." Mark just nodded, he wanted to say so much more like; Thanks for saving my life, you beautiful blue eyed alien. Or, kiss me and maybe the pain will be less.

They arrived at Jupiter in no time, Mark rested and felt a little better well, as better as you could be. This was his first serious injury in his space travel.

Bob was welcoming but as soon as he saw Mark laying on his ship floor his tone shifted from friendly to professional in seconds. He began rushing and frantically asking Jack questions. Luckily Jack managed to answer them all calmly and Bob set to work.

;

It was a sore grueling process but the stitches were in and Mark was okay. Jack was still by his side and he really was glad; He wouldn't mind waking up (in less dangerous circumstances), to those blue eyes everyday. He stretched an arm out, running his hands through the mans hair.

"You saved my life."

"I did what I had too." Jacks hand was atop his, rested in his soft hair.

"You defied your father for somebody you barely know; You're a hero." Jack turned his head.

"I always wanted to leave that planet but not like this. However, I dont think Id change it." He smiled, geniue and soft like everything else about him.

Mark reached up to kiss him, making a face due to the angle but melted as they contacted. As expected, Jacks lips were soft against his; welcome there like he'd constantly been cold and Jack was the warmth he had been missing.

"Yknow, I dont actually look like this." Jack muttered against his lips causing Mark to tilt his head slightly like a confused puppy. Jack chuckled, it sounded nervous.

"I like you, regardless." Mark spoke; quiet.

Jack just nodded and closed his eyes breathing steady and began to change. An act of trust which made Marks heart swell. He hoped Jack wasn't insecure about his true self because his soul was beautiful.

It was almost like the night disappearing and the sun rising in the morning. He had three antennas atop his head; green at the top and blue nearer his head. His eyes seemed to be bluer, if that was even possible; And he had fangs that didn't sit comfortably in his mouth it seemed but god, it was cute.

His skin was pale and looked glitterly almost. Mark was speechless, Jacks other look was pretty but him in all his natural beauty was mind blowing. His eyes were sad though and Mark knew it was because he was speechless and wide eyed.

"You're so pretty." His words were unsteady but he didn't care.

Jack softended, eyes going brighter as his mood did, Mark said it with such truth behind his words that he couldnt help but smile.

;

They retired to a rather far out and quiet planet; His inhabitants happily accepting them. Jack missed some things from his home but he felt free, Mark had let him out of a cage he didn't know he was in. It was odd, a human loving an alien but Jack wouldn't have it any other way especially when he could see the galaxy from there window and even more so when Mark wrapped his arms around him, kissing his neck and murmuring to him that Jack was his Prince and always will be.
