Jack's P.O.V.
Mark and I walked back to camp hand and hand. I was beaming from the recent news I received from Mark. He really did want to be my boyfriend!
We reached the campsite, seeing Tyler had already begun a fire. Ethan was warming his hands, shivering slightly. Felix and Marzia were arranging palm branches into cots. I noticed water in a cracked jar. I smiled slightly, glad we had something to quench our thirst.
" Hey! I managed to spear a few fish with a stick!" Felix exclaimed cheerfully, " We just have to cook them."
" Good, I'm starving." Tyler remarked.
I pecked Mark on the cheek, walking over to the fire. I sat down on a rotting log, reaching my hands out to the fire. I shivered slightly, feeling energized by the fires warmth. I felt Mark's gaze on my back, and I blushed slightly. I jumped, feeling Mark's hand on my shoulder.
" How ya' holding up Jackaroony?" Mark said, rubbing my shoulder.
" Alright, my wing hurts really bad." I replied.
Mark didn't say anything in response. He just hugged me close. I sighed contently. I couldn't imagine life without Mark. I really couldn't. What did I do to deserve someone as perfect as him?
" DINNER IS READY!" Ethan exclaimed , a speaking with a horrible French accent.
I reluctantly pulled away from Mark, grabbing a few of the angel berries Mark and I had found. I grinned happily, feeling the juice melt in my mouth.
I was practically euphoric, even though our situation wasn't the best. I was happy to be with my friends, with Mark, to have my first boyfriend. Everything seemed to be looking up for once. I was finally happy.
" -then he said, ' WELL FUCK ME IN THE ASS AND CALL ME JUDY.'" Ethan exclaimed dramatically.
" You have weird friends Ethan." Tyler giggled.
I looked over to Mark, seeing a warm smile on his face. His cheeks were rosy from the cold; his eyes twinkled from the fire's reflection. He looked beautiful, as usual.
" Welp. I'm gonna hit the hay." Felix yawned.
" Same." Ethan replied.
I yawned loudly, my exhaustion hitting me like a truck. I stretched, leaning my body into Mark's side. He sighed contently, wrapping his arm around my small frame.
" I think lil' Jackaroony and I gotta sleep too." Mark said lovingly.
" Lets all go to sleep. Whoever gets up earliest wakes up everyone." Tyler said.
" Sure thing Stone-faced Tyler!" Marzia joked.
Tyler rolled his eyes. I walked over to see palm branches laid out on the ground by the fire. They looked comfy enough. Wait. There's only 3?
" Tyler... there's not enough beds for everyone." I said, turning to look at Tyler.
" I couldn't carry enough for 6 beds... and I'm pretty lazy. So I didn't go back." Tyler replied nonchalantly.
" Just pick a sleeping buddy!" Ethan exclaimed, jumping onto Tyler's back.
I slowly lowered myself to the ground, my muscles aching from the long day we had. I laid on my side, tucking my wings in the best I could. I heard the palm branches rustle. Everyone must be settling down. I felt a warm arm slip around my body. I craned my neck, only to see Mark's smiling face inches from mine.
" Goodnight Jackaboy." Mark murmured, booping my nose.
I giggled softly.
" G'night ya' goober." I said, booping Mark's nose.
Before I knew it... I had drifted into sleep.

I walked downstairs, sighing. I rubbed my tired eyes.
" Good morning sleepyhead!" Mark said cheerily.
I noticed that Mark's bright red hair was raven black. He still looked extremely handsome.
Mark handed me a cup of coffee. I smelled it. It was delightful. Black. Just how I like it. I sat down at the kitchen bar, watching Mark cook food.
A fluffy dog came trotting in the room, batting Mark's tail.
" Chica!" Mark exclaimed, talking in his puppy dog voice.
The dog wagged her tail, yipping happily. Mark snuck her a piece of freshly cooked bacon. She wolfed down the piece.
" GOOD MORNIN'!" a new voice exclaimed.
A pretty teenage girl came down the stairs. She had her hair in a messy bun with a yellow ribbon around her hair. She had hazel eyes and mocha colored skin. Summer freckles dusted her button nose. She had on a black choker with a teardrop shaped stone hanging from it. She wore a white shirt with a black tree on it. She had on a green jacket with various pins. She wore it over her t-shirt. She had on dark green jeans and boots.
" Mornin' Amanda." Mark said.
" Morning Dad!" she said, giving Mark a kiss on the cheek.
" Coffee? God Daddy every flipping morning." Amanda said dramatically, kissing my cheek.
I'm a dad?! I looked down at my hand. IS THAT A WEDDING RING?! I sipped my coffee, placing on a fake smile.
" Top of the mornin' to ya' 'Manda!" I said, lifting my coffee cup.
Amanda rolled her eyes, swatting my shoulder.
" Chica Bica!" Amanda cooed, rubbing Chica's stomach.
I looked around in a puzzled manner. I don't know why I was here... but it felt right. I felt part of a family. Seeing Mark cooking breakfast for us. Having a sweet daughter. Everything seemed, perfect. I stood up from the bar, walking over to Mark. I kissed him passionately. I felt him smile into the kiss.
" Eww get a room!" Amanda yelled from the sofa.
Chica barked, siding with Amanda. I giggled, resting my head on Mark's shoulder. A knock on the door startled me. I walked over to go see who it was. I opened the door, only to be face to face with Ethan and Tyler. A little girl sat on Tyler's shoulders, grinning adorably.
" Jack!" Ethan exclaimed.
" Hey!" I answered.
" JACK!" Ethan yelled.
I looked at Ethan confused.
" Hi...?" I responded.
" JACKKKKKK!"
+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+
I woke up, grabbing my chest. Ethan's blue eyes were right in front of mine.
" Get up sleepyhead!" he giggled.
" You sleep talk." Mark said, his morning voice even deeper and sexier than normal.
" Hmm?" I said drowsily.
" You said ' Hi Amanda ' or something." Mark said.
My dream hit me like a truck. All the memories. The happy, carefree life I was living. Where devils and angels were in the same neighborhood. Everything seemed great.
" Oh... I think I had an Aunt named Amanda. I dreamed about a family reunion." I lied through my teeth.
" That's weird..." Mark said judgmentally.
" Shut it goober." I said playfully, pecking him on the lips, " We gotta get going."
Did you like Jack's dream? I thought it was super sweet. And I'm really happy with the idea to bring Amanda in! I was watching Mark's five hour Dream Daddy Livestream and I was like AMANDA SHOULD BE HERE! Bc Mark and Jack have both said how much they like Amanda. If you guys have any ideas for who Tyler and Ethan's daughter should be, say so in the comments! Peace! Word Count: 1168
