Mark had been thinking about their relationship a lot lately. It wasn't that he was doubting it, he was just curious in a way.
"Do you think our relationship is boring?"
Mark could tell the question took Jackson by surprise judging by the shorter's frown that was soon replaced by a confused expression.
"No? What do you mean?"
"We've been standing still."
"You're making me even more confused right now."
"Like...Imagine our relationship as a staircase. From the beginning you're at the bottom but with each accomplishment you take one step upwards. During the time your relationship passes by you will have to take steps up and down from time to time. We've been standing still for a while."
Jackson smiled. "In that sense. Well, yes, we've been standing still but I honestly don't mind. I like the step we're at right now. But if you want to change something, I'm more than willing to try."
"I don't want to change anything, only thing I want to do is making sure you're not getting bored of me."
"...We could sit a whole day and do nothing but stare at each other and I still wouldn't get bored of you. You underestimate yourself way too much. I won't get bored of you so I don't see why you're so worried about that."
"Will you tell me if you would end up getting bored?"
"Most likely not because it will most likely not happen."
"But if-"
Jackson decided to put an end to the conversation and let his lips cover Mark's. He let them linger there for somewhat ten seconds before pulling away and grabbing the sides of Mark's face.
"Don't question my feelings for you. I've known you for a couple of years already and if anything I'm only growing more and more interested every day."
Mark felt his eyes burn from the pressure the tears were putting while he tried not to let them out.
"T-thank you."
Jackson let his thumbs run underneath Mark's eyes to catch any tears that accidently slipped out.
"Don't change yourself for the sake of someone else. If they can't accept the way you are, they are not worth your time either."
