Fix My Mechanical Heart

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded, letting her breaths steady. "I know."

 

[grey987]

Mark sat there for a while longer, rubbing Kiora's shoulder for a bit before standing up. "I'll be back. I'm just going to go get some takeout for us."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded, smiling lightly. "I await your return."

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled, leaning down to kiss her lips one more time. "I'm sure you do, gorgeous," he told her before turning and leaving the apartment, heading down to the garage. Coming down from the stairs, he stood in front of Hunter, powering the mech on before stepping inside.


"You're back early," Hunter noted.


"Yeah, I am," Mark answered, boosting out of the garage. "I'm getting some takeout for Kiora and I."


"I guess you solved your problem pretty quickly, then."


"Hunter... just don't."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled after him and leaned against the couch, waiting for him to return.

 

[grey987]

A few minutes later, Mark arrived back at the apartment, opening and closing the door behind him with two bags in one hand. "I bought a couple of boxes, so that I won't need to go out to get these for maybe the next day or two."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora looked up and smiled. "Thanks."

 

[grey987]

"No problem," Mark responded as he put the bags on the dining table, taking out two boxes of noodles and opening them, placing a pair of chopsticks in each before going to sit beside Kiora on the couch again. With a smile, he offered her the box in his right hand.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and took the box, picking up a pair of chopsticks and beginning to eat.

 

[grey987]

Mark ate some of his food before pausing and sighing, a grin pulling at the corners of his lips. "I suppose this is a routine thing, now," he said as he leaned over and stole some of Kiora's noodles with his chopsticks, placing them in his mouth.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and stole some of his. "It is."

 

[grey987]

As Kiora was pulling back her chopsticks, Mark lifted his own and grabbed at the stolen noodles, splitting them apart and leaving little bits left for her to take. "And here's me, going on the offensive front," he said with a laugh.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and took the small pieces, taking another large sum of noodles from his container.

 

[grey987]

Deciding to just her take the noodles, he dropped the ones he reclaimed into his box before reaching over and also taking a large portion of her takeout. He dropped those into his box as well before taking a smaller amount and eating it.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and dug underneath her noodles to steal his, placing them on top and beginning to eat them.

 

[grey987]

Mark shook his head, still smiling. "And just like before with the drinks, I will now keep to myself."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and kept eating, slurping up her noodles.

 

[grey987]

After taking another bite out of his noodles, Mark paused again. "Actually, I changed my mind," he declared as he leaned back over, tilting his head and biting off a couple of noodles that Kiora had picked up.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora looked at him and took a bite from the same noodles, smiling.

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled and rubbed his hand across the back of his head as he held his box with the other, slightly embarrassed by what he'd done. His cheeks even seemed to turn a light shade of red.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora giggled and poked his cheek lightly, smiling.

 

[grey987]

Mark's cheeks grew slightly more red when Kiora poked him. "This is weird. Usually it's you who's supposed to be flustered."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "Well then maybe this is the universes pay back."

 

[grey987]

"It could be," Mark shrugged, now regarding her with a smirk. "Although, I think I do a better job at making you embarrassed, don't I?"

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora blushed a bit and nodded.
