Fix My Mechanical Heart

[IceQueen]

Kiora grumbled and opened her eyes, staring at him. "Afternoon." She mumbled grumpily.

 

[grey987]

"Afternoon," he responded flatly, getting up from the couch to get himself a drink. After closing the fridge, he leaned against it as he popped the tab on his can of Sprite, taking a sip from it.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora face planted back into the couch, still a bit irritated from her dream. She had swirling thoughts in her head as she stared at the grey fabric of the couch.

 

[grey987]

Taking another sip from his drink, Mark eyed Kiora blankly for a moment. "I'm going to guess that you had a somewhat unpleasant dream," he said to her.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded, sighing heavily as she sat up. She could have really used some comfort, but after earlier, she didn't think he would want to.

 

[grey987]

"Don't worry, I won't press you about it," Mark told her, going to sit back down on the couch. "You don't have to tell me about it if you don't want to."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded, looking at the ground in silence.

 

[grey987]

Glancing over at Kiora, Mark sighed and put his drink by the side of the couch before wrapping an arm around her shoulders, pulling her body close to his.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora sucked in a breath, leaning against him. "Thanks." she mumbled to him.

 

[grey987]

"Welcome," he said quietly, kissing her cheek.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora took a shaky breath. "You sure have a way of taking my breath away."

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled, looking at her with a smile. "I figure that's what I'm supposed to do."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded, turning her head towards him.

 

[grey987]

Mark gazed into Kiora's eyes for a moment before planting a quick and soft kiss on her lips.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora closed her eyes for the second he kissed her, smiling afterwards.

 

[grey987]

Mark rested his forehead against Kiora's, lingering there as he returned the smile. "You always like being like this, don't you?" he asked her.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded slowly, her eyes still closed and her lips slightly parted.

 

[grey987]

Mark eventually leaned back in, pressing his lips against hers. He wasn't going to admit it- at least not yet, but he felt the same way. He liked being close to Kiora like this, too.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora kissed back, holding on tight to him like he was a life force.

 

[grey987]

Mark's arm remained around Kiora's shoulders as he leaned back into the couch and kissed her. He was slightly surprised by the way she was holding onto him, almost as if she was going to fall to her death if she didn't.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora kept her grip on him, kissing him lighter than normal. She didn't care if he thought it was weird, she needed him.

 

[grey987]

Mark pulled away for a moment to catch his breath, laughing quietly as he did so. "Being a bit more gentle now, are we?" he teased.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora blushed and looked away, her grip tightening. "Shut up." She mumbled.

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled, and as Kiora was looking away, he moved in again and nibbled on the skin of her neck.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora sucked in a breath, jumping in surprise and slapping a hand over the spot he kissed.
