Fix My Mechanical Heart

[grey987]

Mark slowly stepped inside her room, closing the door behind him but not stepping any further, staying in front of the door. "Kiora... I promise, it's not what you're thinking," he told her, hoping that she would hear him out.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora groaned, pulling the covers tighter over her head.

 

[grey987]

"Kiora, please listen to me..." Mark said, now approaching the bed and sitting beside her. "She's just a close friend who I haven't seen in a long time because I thought she was dead. That doesn't mean I'm abandoning you or anything like that."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora sniffled a little bit, still hiding under the covers. Underneath the blankets, she was still trying to get the tears to stop flowing.

 

[grey987]

Mark let out a quiet breath through his nose, pulling up the covers and climbing into the bed with Kiora, wrapping his arm around her in a hug.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora stayed facing the other way for a bit before she turned to face him, her cheeks stained with tears.

 

[grey987]

Mark stared into Kiora's eyes, drying her cheeks with his thumb before cupping her cheek with his hand. "I'm not going anywhere. I promise," he whispered.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora looked up at him meekly before she wrapped her arms tightly around him and pulled him into a tight embrace, her face pressed into his chest.

 

[grey987]

"It's alright, I'm here," Mark soothed, rubbing her back gently. "Everything will be fine."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora sniffled more, holding onto him.

 

[grey987]

"I love you more than anything," Mark told her. "You know that, right?"

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded, still crying into his shirt.

 

[grey987]

Mark held Kiora in his embrace for another moment longer, before gently pulling her head back and away from his chest so that he could lean in and press his lips softly against hers.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora looked up at him and pressed her lips back against his, holding on tight to him.

 

[grey987]

Mark kissed Kiora passionately, wrapping his arm around her back and keeping her pressed against the front of him.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora kissed back, her fingers folding into the fabric of his shirt, her cheeks still stained with a few tears.

 

[grey987]

Mark was now letting his tongue explore Kiora's mouth, being a bit bolder than usual while his fingers found their way into the long locks of her hair.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora let him be bold, her usual fiery passion coming back as they kissed.

 

[grey987]

Eventually, Mark pulled away, catching his breath and looking into Kiora's eyes for a moment before moving back in to crush his lips against hers, clutching onto the back of her shirt.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora kissed back, barely catching her breath as she held onto him tightly.

 

[grey987]

Mark held the kiss for a while longer before pulling back again, giving both of them time to breath while he gazed into Kiora's eyes.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora looked back at him, her grip still tight on him. "Never let me go." She whispered, almost as a plea.

 

[grey987]

"I won't," Mark murmured, holding her frame close to his.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled a little bit as she pressed her lips against his jawline.

 

[grey987]

A relaxed breath passed through Mark's lips while closing his eyes and leaning into Kiora.
