He pulled off the kiss, looking at the other.

"Your lips taste like cola." Jackson says, laughing softly. Mark could feel his face on fire again, burying his face into Jackson's chest.

"Yah! that's not a bad thing. I like cola." He laughs, wrapping his arms and legs around Mark. "and I like you too."

"I'm so flustered." Mark says, mumbled against Jackson's chest.

"Yah, look at me~" Jackson says, and Mark slowly pulls his head up and looks into Jackson's eyes.

He smiles widely, "How'd did i get so lucky that I got the best soulmate in the world?"

Mark blushes, hitting his arm playfully. "You're the best."

"No way~" Jackson says, sitting up. "You're the best thing that ever happened to me."

Mark sits up as well on the bed, looking around. Jackson's room was pretty basic at first glance, grey walls and carpeted floor. but once you take a closer look, it was so... cute.

He had about ten different blankets on his bed. fuzzy ones and warm ones. A few stuffed animals, too.

"Markie, I mean that. I wasn't this happy before you came into my life." Jackson says, reaching over and grabbing his hands.

"But... I was the one who made you upset before... I rejected you..." Mark says, looking down at the blankets.

"Aish, hush. That's in the past, and I only care about the present. You're here with me now, and that's not gonna change." He squeezes Mark's hand. "Well... at least I hope."

"It won't." Mark says, looking at him. "I may not look like it, but i've never been happier. You make my dull life a lot more bright, Jackson. and I couldn't be more thankful."

"Aw, Markie!" Jackson exclaims, leaning over and hugging him tightly. "You're too good to me."

"My soulmate deserves the best." Mark says, wrapping his arms around Jackson's waist as the other sat in his lap. He started playing with Mark's hair, a bright smile on his face.

"Your hair is so soft~" Jackson says, running his hands through it. "I like it."

"You seem to like a lot about me."

"Well, duh!" Jackson says, laughing. "I like everything about you. Your soft hair, your cola lips–"

"Don't call my lips that," Mark says, laughing along with Jackson.

"Mm, what do my lips taste like, Markie?~" Jackson says, kissing him again just incase he needed to be reminded.

Mark thinks for a moment, looking at him. "Hm. Cherry, and hint of something waxy."

"Cherry chapstick!" Jackson says, laughing. "That's what I have on."

Mark laughs softly, "Ah. That explains the wax." He laughs, kissing him again.

Jackson pulls off the kiss, gasping dramatically and holding onto Mark's cheeks.

"What?" Mark says, suddenly concerned from Jackson's change of tone.

"Together, we make cherry cola!" Jackson says, smiling brightly.

"Aish! I thought something was seriously wrong with you for a second." Mark says, laughing. "Silly."

"No~ It was an important discovery that I had to tell you right now." Jackson says, laughing.

Mark shakes his head, smiling brightly and pulling Jackson into another kiss.
