Fix My Mechanical Heart

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and kept her head there, relaxing into him.

"Good night, hot stuff," Mark mumbled, closing his eyes as his chest rose and fell softly against hers.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "Good night." she said.

 

[grey987]

In the morning, Mark continued to sleep calmly beside Kiora with steady breaths.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora began to stir.

 

[grey987]

Mark's eyelids flickered open as he woke up, looking sleepily at Kiora.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora stirred a bit more, her eyes gradually opening.

 

[grey987]

Mark gave her a small smile, kissing the tip of her nose.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and kissed his cheek. "Morning." She mumbled.

 

[grey987]

"Morning," Mark responded quietly, gently rubbing her back.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and leaned into him.

 

[grey987]

"You just couldn't go to sleep without me, could you?" Mark grinned at her.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "It feels better to sleep beside you." She said softly.

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled, pecking her on the lips. "I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the same way."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and kept him close, nothing but love in her heart. "We should probably start preparing for next week's tournament." She said.

 

[grey987]

Mark's smile slowly fell. "What exactly do you mean when you say preparing...?" he asked skeptically.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "We train for a week. It requires mental prep to keep myself ready." She said.

 

[grey987]

"Right, right..." Mark said as he continued to idly rub her back. "I just don't want to keep hurting you during our practices."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded, looking at him. "Don't worry." She said, kissing his neck.

 

[grey987]

Mark let out a soft moan, feeling instantly relaxed.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "Sorry." She said, closing her eyes.

 

[grey987]

"Sorry for what?" Mark asked curiously.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "Teasing you." She said, kissing his shoulder.

 

[grey987]

Mark hummed as he relaxed against her. "It's okay," he murmured.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and leaned into him.
