11. Tattoo
Love, Sweet LoveWarning: Implied NC-17 material but not rated M because it's only a brief mention.
Fun fact: This was written literally two days before the news of what is possibly and most likely Mark's tattoo flooded the Internet. However THIS is the idea I worked with, only I imagined it way smaller and further up (any BMTH fans nearby?).

Even though they had been together for such a long time and since a long time back explored each other's bodies, there were things they didn't know about each other. Which was fine, everyone needs a little privacy, but some things Jackson would've preferred if he knew about his lover. Like the tiny piece of black ink behind his left ear, a part he usually didn't stare at.
He discovered it once while spooning turned the other way compared to what they usually did. He stared at it for almost twenty minutes before Mark started stirring and waking up, where as Jackson didn't speak up about his newly found discovery.
Later the same day, they were getting at it, and Jackson decided to ask about it. He went to put his mouth behind the older's left ear.
"That's a nice umbrella you've got there.", he whispered and Mark flinched away, a light blush across his cheeks.
"T-thank you. It was a bet."
"It's still nice. Though I don't understand why the raindrops are there, umbrellas save you from rain but okay.", Jackson stated, hinting that he wanted the tattoo explained.
"It's because sometimes what's supposed to protect you, doesn't always give you the protection you need."
"Deep.", Jackson breathed out causing Mark to hit him.
"Don't be like that! Besides, I didn't pick!"
"So you don't like it at all?"
"...I do like it."
"Then why are you complaining?", Jackson laughed out. Mark joined him with a soft chuckle. "You know what we should do someday? Get matching tattoos!"
Mark was about to complain but actually liked the idea that caused his heart to flutter.
"That's actually not a bad idea..."
Jackson smiled and leaned down to kiss the tattoo.
"Tattoos suit you."
