At The Hospital, Mark Was Currently Getting His Heels Wrapped. Luckily From His Stupidity From Jumping

!cussing, gay jokes and sibling fights!

At the hospital, Mark was currently getting his heels wrapped. Luckily from his stupidity from jumping off a lamp post. He didn't need to have surgery or get casts. The only thing he had to do was keep his heels wrapped and use crutches. "Now Mark, you will need 6-8 weeks to heal. For the first 3 weeks you will have to use the crutches. After you heal, we will decide if you will need physical therapy or not." The doctor explained. Mark nodded softly as he listened. Great, this is fucking perfect. He thought to himself. He sighed some. He was glad that Anne and Tom were there with him. Anne was worried about her brother. How could he be so stupid to just jump off the pole? Was he really trying to impress Tom that much? God he was such a freak. Tom, on the other hand was glad Mark was going to be alright.

"Alright, now Mark. Do you have anywhere you could possibly stay for the next few weeks? I need to keep an eye on your heel before I take off the braces. But you'll have to still use the crutches." The doctor explained as he looked at the other. Mark looked over at his sister and Tom before looking back at the doctor. "I mean..yeah, it'd just be an half an hour drive from CSU to here. I'd just have to find someone that's willing to take me every week. I'll be there until sometime in July."

"You could stay with me. I have plenty of room. I can take you to your appointments and college too. I'll have to settle it with my parents, but it wouldn't bother me." Tom chimed in with an offer. Maybe it seemed a bit pushy, but honestly it would give both of them an excuse to hangout. Plus what else would he be able to do for most of the summer? This would be a great opportunity for him to get to know the older boy too. He wasn't too sure how his parents would react to it, but fuck what they have to say. He would just have to worry about Kari telling them. She probably wouldn't since her and Tom were pretty close.

Mark thought about it for a moment before nodding. "Sure, why the hell not?" He said with a smile as he looked at the younger male. Tom smiled more, feeling butterflies in his stomach. This was going to be the best summer ever.

Timeskip - June 8th, '92 10:30 AM

Tom and Mark were currently in the kitchen, getting themselves some breakfast. After the past few days, the boys have gotten to know each other better. Kari and Shon have met him and they seem to like him, which made Tom happy. Kari may or may not have a crush on Mark. She'd always blush whenever he was around her. Could you blame her though!? Mark was an attractive guy. Tom's parents were supposed to be coming home today..and they still have no idea Mark is there. This will either end up being a shit show or they'll actually let Mark stay.

Tom was wearing Mark's 'Atticus' shirt that he'd let him borrow and dark grey sweatpants. Meanwhile, Mark was shirtless and in red flannel pants. Tom laughed as he looked over at Mark. "You look so gay with that one nipple piercing" he joked. Mark rolled his eyes playfully. "It's not my fault! What if I only wanted one hmm? And what about you? Why are your ears double pierced? And why do you have your eyebrow pierced?" He joked back, playfully hitting him in the arm.

The younger male laughed a little more. "Because, Mark they look cool! You're just jealous. It's very clear that I'm the cooler one." He said, soon getting an idea. Since they were making pancakes, he put some of the batter on his finger. He then wiped it on Mark's shoulder, laughing a bit. "Man, what the hell!" Mark said before doing the same thing to his friend. He smeared batter on his face as he laughed. He was leaned against the counter since he didn't have his crutches with him. He just trusted Tom with his life when they'd go downstairs. "Damnit, Hoppus! You're lucky you're a paraplegic or I'd chase you around." He warned, getting more batter and smearing it on Mark's chest.

Mark rolled his eyes before carefully getting closer to the taller male. He grabbed some batter, smearing it from Tom's hair, down to his cheek and ending at his neck. This made Tom feel butterflies again. A light pink blush came across his cheeks. He didn't know why he felt that way, but he liked it. Why does he make me feel this way? I've never felt this way before. Tom thought to himself. Mark noticed the blush and smiled a bit more. He thought it was sort of cute. As this was going on, Kari had made her way downstairs. She was wearing a burgundy sweatshirt with her jeans. She saw the two, raising her eyebrow. She then cleared her throat. This caused Mark to jump and almost fall. Luckily, he was caught by Tom. The boys glanced at each other, causing one another to blush.

"Sorry I ruined your guys "gay" moment you were having, but I'm hungry. Is the food almost done? Also..hi, Mark." Kari said, smiling as she looked at her crush. "There's some pancakes done. We need to go get ourselves cleaned off." Tom said, helping Mark back up. He noticed his sister eyeing the older male up and down. "Kari, stop daydreaming about your crush. You're literally going to drool." He joked, chuckling a little. Kari rolled her eyes before she made her way over to get herself some food. "Tom, why can't Mark just stay in my room? Why does he have to stay in yours?" She asked. Tom raised his eyebrow as he looked at her. "Uhmm maybe because you're literally 15 and he's fucking 20. Plus mom and dad would murder you and him if they'd find that out." He said, watching as she turned to look at him. "You're 16 almost 17! What the hell is the difference?!"

"I met him first and he's my friend, plus I am closer to 18 than you are! So end of discussion! Now eat your pancakes and quit bitching at me." He said as she rolled her eyes. "Teenagers" he said, making Mark laugh.

Once the boys were cleaned off and Tom changed his shirt. They began to eat. They sat across from each other as Kari, of course, sat beside Mark. She complimented him on his nipple piercing and his ear piercings. "Mark, you should totally come to homecoming with me this year." She commented, blushing a bit. Tom gave her an unassuming look. "Kari, no."

Mark gave her a reassuring smile shaking his head softly. "I'm sorry, Kari I don't think I can. I'll have to go back to college..well maybe if I still enjoy it." Kari rolled her eyes at her older brother before sighing. "Fine..what are you even going to college for anyway?" She asked. "I might become an English teacher..but we shall see." He spoke before taking a bite of his pancakes. "That's cool I guess" she commented.

Meanwhile Tom grabbed the whipped cream, smirking a bit. He got up, hiding the can behind his back. He walked his way over to his sister as her and Mark chatted. He then sprayed whipped cream into his hand. Quickly, he shoved it in her face, making her gasp and Mark laugh. "TOM!" she said, whipping the cream off her face. Soon, she got up and began to chase Tom around the house. Mark watched, laughing. He enjoyed his time here and he was sure this summer was going to be great.
