"Am I in your heart...?"
Jaebum's halfway to dreamland when he hears the question murmured against his back, Mark's breath warm against his skin. It's safe to say he only catches a word or two, voice thick with sleep as he keeps his eyes closed and asks, "Wait whah?"
The hand that had been tracing patterns on his waist stills. "In your heart...I am there?"
This time Jaebum's eyes do blink open, but he doesn't turn, looking at the digital clock on his nightstand instead.
"Mark, seriously? It's 2:40 in the morning—"
"You didn't answer."
"...Why are you asking?"
"..."
"..."
"Just because."
There are a few heartbeats filled with silence in which Jaebum contemplates, the sleep quickly slipping away. No, it's not because of his answer to the question - he has known that for ages now, probably knew it long before he even let himself admit it - but why Mark is asking such a ludicrous thing in the first place. Mark should know better than anyone, Mark always knows—
He comes back to his sense when he feels the hand on his hipbone retreat, instantly missing the warmth. Jaebum scrambles to grab it, turning around clumsily under the blankets. He can barely make out the outline of Mark's face, the soft curve of his cheek and the dip of his lips. But he can tell Mark's looking at him, can feel his gaze roaming his face with earnest anticipation.
So Jaebum takes the hand he is still clutching in his own and moves it towards his heart, spreading Mark's fingers over his pale skin, letting him feel the quickening of his heartbeat as the heat spread through his chest.
"You were the one who wrote his name all over that doll's heart," Jaebum murmurs good-humoredly, breath hitching slightly as he feels the faint scrape of fingernails as Mark comes closer in the dark. "What do you think?"
Mark's breathless laugh is the only answer Jaebum needs.

Note: Because the fact that Mark wrote his name all over that Jaebum-doll can't not have at least a drabble dedicated to it :)
