Fix My Mechanical Heart

"Oh boy," Mark sighed, going to pick up the phone. "Hello?"

 

[IceQueen]

"Is there an emergency? Or did she just burn the food again?" The landlord asked, already knowing full well that she couldn't cook.

 

[grey987]

"You guessed right with the second assumption," Mark answered. "Don't worry, it's all under control." He refrained from looking at Kiora, in partial fear of the expression she might have had on her face. For some reason, he felt as though she might have looked pissed off.

 

[IceQueen]

"Alright, good day." The landlord said before hanging up. Kiora had already put water on the smoking bacon and tossed it in the trash.

 

[grey987]

"You go relax," Mark told Kiora, walking back over to stove top. "I'll take care of it."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded, setting the pan back on the stove top, and going to sit on the couch.

Spending several minutes cooking the eggs and bacon, Mark finally finished up and scooped an egg and a few strips of bacon onto a plate for Kiora. "Food's ready," Mark called out, setting the plate down on the counter before fixing up his own breakfast.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and went up to the counter, waiting for him.

 

[grey987]

Setting up his plate, Mark went to go sit beside Kiora, cutting into a piece of his egg and placing it in his mouth, chewing and swallowing it quietly.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and kissed his cheek before taking a bite.

 

[grey987]

"So, as you've probably guessed, I was busy down in the garage with Hunter," Mark explained as he ate. "I just gave him a new upgrade, and I think I'm going to test it out later. Aside from that, is there anything you want to do with the mechs? A sparring match, practice at the arena, or...?"

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled at him. "Trying them out might be fun, though we are going to have to hold back the violence on the sparring part." She said. "Well, some of the violence."

 

[grey987]

"Yeah, I know," Mark replied, before finishing up his egg. "Like you, I think I'm gonna see if I can maybe add some long range weapons to Hunter sometime." He then took a bite into one of his bacon strips, chewing on it.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and bumped him lightly, smiling broadly as she ate another strip of bacon.

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled, finishing with his strip. "Hey, a good idea is a good idea," he said, before reaching over with his fork and stealing one of her bacon strips, biting down and chewing on it with a grin.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora glared at him and took half the bacon strip back, before stealing more of his bacon.

 

[grey987]

Mark laughed, deciding not to do anything more as Kiora took most of his bacon strips. "I'll let you have those," he told her before spearing the last strip he had with his fork and biting into it.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and ate the last strip of bacon.

 

[grey987]

Standing up from his seat, Mark asked, "Do you want to rest a bit first, or shall we go down to the garage now?"

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "Resting a bit sounds good." She said, taking his hand in her's.

 

[grey987]

"Okay then," Mark said with a smile, leading them over to the couch so that they could sit down for a while.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and sat down, pulling him down with her.

 

[grey987]

Mark sat down on the couch beside Kiora, kissing her cheek and draping an arm around her shoulders to pull her against his chest.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and curled up, taking his hand and running her thumb over the back of his hand.

 

[grey987]

Mark smiled back at Kiora, humming softly and kissing her temple. "Wanna watch some TV?"
