Fix My Mechanical Heart

[grey987]

Shirley spluttered as she was sent backwards, rolling back onto her feet before boosting away from Kiora. She was exhausted at this point and was slightly hunched over, panting as she prepared to charge forwards again. However, Mark soon stepped into the picture, jumping up and landing in between them before looking at the female fighters. "Stop. That's enough," he told both of them. "This is all on me, and I'm sorry." Then, looking over at Shirley, he said, "We have to put this behind us and move on. I know that it might hurt to just think about doing that, but we can't keep dwelling on things in the past. You have to let go." Shirley stood there for a moment, silent before letting out a sigh of defeat.


"Fine. If that's the way you feel..." With that, she turned away from him and Kiora and jumped away from the rooftop, leaving the couple alone as Mark looked on quietly.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora let out a sigh and picked up her swords, getting up and collecting her swords before pointing one at his neck. "And don't think your not in trouble for slipping out on me to go fight." She said, clearly still mad.

 

[grey987]

Mark looked back at Kiora, letting out a sigh. "Sorry," he mumbled. "I just wanted to take care of Crookes, and make sure that he wouldn't be able to hurt you on the off-chance that I ran into him."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora sighed, crossing her arms. "You know I can handle myself against him." She said to him.

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled lightly, turning so that his whole body was facing Kiora. "I know. I'm just making sure."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora sighed and lowered her sword, putting it away. "Can we go home now?" She asked.

 

[grey987]

Mark nodded once, letting a small smile pull at the edges of his lips. "Yeah. Let's go," he said to Kiora before rocketing past her and heading back to their apartment.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and pushed passed him and raced towards the apartment.

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled as Kiora bolted past him, following her back home. She always has to be ahead of me, he thought to himself with a smile.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled as she pulled into the spot at home.

 

[grey987]

Mark soon entered the garage after Kiora, stepping outside of his mech before heading towards the steps.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled as she was already out of her mech waiting for him and she took his hand and pecked his lips.

 

[grey987]

"Always ready to greet me," Mark said with a smile of his own, returning the peck Kiora gave him and walking with her hand-in-hand up the stairs.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and walked next to him up the stairs, leaning her head on his shoulder.

 

[grey987]

"That was quite the workout," Mark joked with a chuckle, seeming to shrug off the seriousness of the situation they'd just dealt with. "I guess we've done our activity for the day, and now you can cuddle the living hell out of me if you want to." When they made it to the top of the stairs, Mark opened the door to their room and closed it behind them as they entered.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck as they came inside. "You know me so well." She said before sweeping him into a kiss.

 

[grey987]

Mark gladly responded to the kiss, snaking his arms around Kiora's waist as he let his lips move against hers.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and snaked a hand up to his hair, pulling Mark closer as she walked back towards the couch.

 

[grey987]

Mark held the kiss while Kiora pulled them towards the couch, pulling away a moment later and smiling as he took a seat and pulled her down with him.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and flopped onto the couch next to him, continuing the kiss.

 

[grey987]

Mark kept one arm wrapped around Kiora's waist while he kissed her, letting his other hand reach behind her back and run its fingers through the long locks of her hair.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled against his lips before kissing him more, pulling him closer.

 

[grey987]

Midway through the kiss, Mark decided to be a tease, sliding his lips back against Kiora's and taking her upper lip gently in between his teeth, before letting it go and sealing his lips back to hers.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora let out a soft noise as his teeth bit into her lip. She smiled again and pressed her lips fiercely against his, pulling it closer.

 

[grey987]

Mark smiled against Kiora's lips and let out a hum, pushing back against them and moving his hand from her hair to her shoulder while he did so. He had a feeling that they were both going to run out of air pretty quickly.
