Love, Sweet LoveWord count: 135

"Mark? Why are you still awake?"
"I'm afraid."
"Why?"
"What if I don't wake up again?"
Death had always been Mark's biggest fear. He would always think twice before doing something in fear of it being dangerous and deadly. He didn't want to die, he wasn't ready to let go yet.
"Don't worry. Do you think Zebras know they are striped?"
Mark laughed, letting go if his worries. Jackson always knew how to make Mark feel better. Maybe Jackson was the reason he was more afraid of death now than before - now he had someone so meaningful to him, someone he didn't want to lose under any circumstances. At the same time Jackson was the reason he wasn't as scared of leaving his life behind. Jackson made him confused. And that was okay.
