Fix My Mechanical Heart

[grey987]

Mark raised his eyebrows in surprise. "That's new," he said with a smirk. "Since when did you do that?"

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora blushed. "Since you surprised me."

 

[grey987]

Mark continued to grin at Kiora. "You always look so cute when you're blushing," he murmured, kissing her neck again.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora didn't jump back this time, letting it happen as she kissed his forehead.

 

[grey987]

After nibbling on the skin a few more times, Mark went for Kiora's lips again, kissing her lightly just as she had done earlier.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora kissed back, enjoying this a bit more since she could feel his lips underneath hers.

 

[grey987]

Mark kissed Kiora softly for a while more before pulling back, breathing steadily as he rested against Kiora's forehead once more.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora's eyes flickered open, staring at him with kindness and, dare I say, love.

 

[grey987]

Mark felt a strange sense of affection towards Kiora as he gazed silently at her. While he wasn't quite familiar with the feeling, he had an idea of what it was.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora gazed back, her grip on him still tight as ever.

 

[grey987]

Mark broke the silence between the two, chuckling a little. "You're holding onto me pretty firmly."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora blushed again, looking down.

 

[grey987]

Mark smiled at her, planting a kiss on her head as he lifted his hand from her shoulder to her hair, weaving his fingers through the crimson threads.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora looked up at him, leaning into his hand.

 

[grey987]

Mark sighed and closed his eyes as he continued to run a hand through Kiora's hair. "You're quite a handful, you know that?"

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora looked down. "I know." She mumbled, her eyes pricking with a few tears.

 

[grey987]

Mark opened his eyes to look at Kiora again, noticing that her head was downcast. "I didn't mean that in a bad way," he told her. "I'm sorry if it came out like that."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded, leaning into his hand. "It's alright." She mumbled, closing her eyes.

 

[grey987]

Mark slid his arms around Kiora to bring her into a hug, holding her small frame close to him.

 

[IceQueen]

Kora pressed herself into his chest.

 

[grey987]

Mark began to rub Kiora's back, sitting there quietly as he comforted her.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora kept a hold of him, feeling her heart and his sync up.

 

[grey987]

Mark stayed that way with Kiora for a little while longer before he brought her forehead to his lips and kissed it, his right arm pulling her head to his chest while his left arm fell on his lap.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora pressed herself into his chest, listening to the calming beat of his heart as she closed her eyes and relaxed.

 

[grey987]

"I'm here," Mark said quietly as he laid his jaw against Kiora's head. "If you need me, I'm here."
