Mark had never been kissed nor had he ever kissed someone; whether opposite or same sex. None. He had some dating experiences, sure, but he never let them kiss him on the lips. Some of his friends would tease him for not having his first kiss yet despite being a college student already, but he paid them no mind. 

But then he came across a video while he was lazily scrolling through social media. It was a short video. In the video were two men sensually making out. He could see their tongues battling for dominance while spit dripped down their chins, moaning against each other’s mouths while their hands were busy below.  

Mark remembered how he felt himself getting hard just from merely watching two random strangers exchanging spit. Then he became curious. What does it feel like to be kissed like that? 

And who could possibly be willingly to help him with that? No other than his best friend, Donghyuck. 

Donghyuck was busy playing League of Legends when his phone rang. He let it ring 2 more times before answering it and pressed the speaker. “Yo, what’s up?” he said as he went back to his game, focused on taking down the minions and the enemy’s tower. “Hey, are you, um, busy?” Mark asked from the other line. Donghyuck looked at his phone for a second before answering. “Just playing. Why?” 

“Oh! Okay, I’ll call later then. I don’t want to bother you—”

“It’s okay, Mark. You’re not bothering me. Something wrong?” Donghyuck felt something off. Mark seemed... nervous and worried. He’s not usually like this when he wants to do or ask something to him. 

After a minute of silence, he heard Mark let out a deep breath. “Okay,” he said, “before that, promise me you would not laugh or make fun of me.” 

“When you say it like that it would really seem like what you’re going to say is funny as fuck.” Donghyuck chuckled as his fingers continued pressing keys and mouse as his team charged in a fight with the enemies. 

“Just promise me, please!” Mark whined. And Donghyuck took pity, so he agreed. “Okay, okay. I promise,” he said as he raised his right hand quickly, as if he could be seen by the other. 

“Can you kiss me?” 

Silence. 

The clicking of the keyboard and mouse stopped as Donghyuck’s fingers stayed frozen. His hero died.

Donghyuck was expecting something funny or maybe a questionable decision-making, but his best friend asking him to kiss him? Not in his bingo card. He was taken aback by the sudden request from the other that he went completely silent and Mark was starting to get more anxious than before. 

“Hyuck?” 

“Hyuck, please say something.” Donghyuck shook his head as he went back to reality when he heard Mark’s voice that sounded like he was close to tears. He then looked at his computer screen to see big, bright letters that spelled ‘Defeat’. He cleared his throat before answering Mark back. “Are you… are you serious?” 

“...Yeah,” Mark said softly, almost like a whisper. “Okay,” Donghyuck quietly sighed, “May I know the reason why you asked me for that?” Oh, he really wanted to know. What made his best friend, who has never been kissed and even avoided him when he tried to kiss him on the cheek, ask him for a kiss? 

“Well,” Mark stuttered, “I’m just curious, okay? I just—I just want to know what it feels like. And I don’t want to kiss random strangers, so I thought maybe I could ask you instead, since, you know, you’re my friend.” 

Donghyuck wanted to ask more. He wanted to know more. But he sensed that Mark was already getting shy and panicky, and he didn’t want to make him cry, so he sighed and nodded his head. “Okay.” 

“Okay?” Donghyuck could almost see Mark with his bright, doe eyes looking at him from the other line. He chuckled and assured the other he was not joking. He heard a lot of excited thank you ’s from Mark and the latter said that he will come by at his place after his last class. And how could Donghyuck say no to that? 

It was 4 in the afternoon when Donghyuck heard two knocks on the door. He opened the door without looking at the peep hole as he was already sure that it was Mark from the other side of the door. 

When Mark went inside, he went straight to the couch and sat down as he put his bag down on the floor. He then looked at Donghyuck who was staring at him. As if he was observing him. Well, he looked kind of stiff sitting down. 

Mark cleared his throat and awkwardly patted the space next to him. “W-Well, sit down, dude,” he said. As Donghyuck sat down, Mark grabbed a throw pillow and hugged it, for emotional support. 

They stared at each other for a solid minute as the room was filled with awkward silence—they could almost hear each other breathing. “Are you going to kiss me now?” Mark broke the silence. Donghyuck was taken aback, yet again. Since when did Mark become the straightforward one between them? 

“Well, are you ready?” 

“Yes, I’m ready,” Mark said firmly, as if he was in the military, answering to a superior. 

Donghyuck breathed in and out and looked Mark straight in the eyes. “Okay, before I do anything, let me just ask you one last time. Are you really sure about this?” 

Mark nodded his head vigorously. “Yeah, yeah absolutely. Hundred percent. I brushed my teeth a while ago just for this, so, yeah.” Donghyuck let out an amused laugh and nodded his head as he scooched closer towards Mark. He placed his hand on the other’s cheek, softly grazing his ample cheekbone with his thumb. 

“I’ll go slow, okay?” Donghyuck asked as Mark could only nod his head, too distracted with their proximity. And with Donghyuck’s pretty face close to him . 

Donghyuck’s thumb slowly slid down to Mark’s pink lips. He caressed the bottom lip, lightly pressing on it to feel the softness of it. He then slowly leaned forward, he saw Mark closing his eyes, patiently ( nervously ) waiting, and he gently pressed his lips against the other. He felt Mark’s breath hitched as their lips touched. 

Mark gripped on Donghyuck’s shirt and just let the other take the lead. Donghyuck pulled away, but his face was still close to Mark’s. “Is that okay?” he whispered. Mark, with his eyes still closed, nodded his head and subtly pulled Donghyuck by his shirt. Donghyuck couldn’t help but to notice how pretty and long Mark’s eyelashes were, but then he felt another tug at his shirt and Mark softly groaned when he was taking too long. Donghyuck chuckled from the eagerness of Mark and leaned in again. 

This time, Donghyuck slowly moved his lips, holding Mark’s face from his cheeks. He moved away again when he noticed that the other was still frozen in place, eyes still closed. “Hey,” he called softly. Mark opened his eyes and instantly blushed when he finally saw their closeness. “Just follow what I do, okay?” Mark licked his lips wet and nodded his head, still unable to find his voice. 

When Donghyuck kissed him again, Mark slowly moved his lips together with Donghyuck, copying what the other was doing. It’s awkward, but Donghyuck didn’t mind at all. He didn’t even have a heart to tease him. Mark’s kiss was mixed with innocence and worry, with a little bit of new-found confidence. 

“You’re doing great,” Donghyuck assured him when he pulled away again. 

Mark shied away by pulling the other again for a kiss. Donghyuck would sometimes take his upper lip, then he would go to his lower lip, nibbling it which earned him a quiet gasp from the other. 

With so much going on, Mark slightly pushed Donghyuck away. “Wait! Wait, fuck, I think I’m overwhelmed. Wow, okay…” Mark said as he tried catching his breath. 

Donghyuck’s concerned eyes softened. He chuckled and lightly shook his head as he watched Mark inhaling and exhaling while looking anywhere but him. “Too much?” Donghyuck asked softly, nudging Mark’s soft cheek with his nose. 

Mark, breathless, could only nod his head. Donghyuck gave his cheek a short peck before looking at Mark properly. “Alright, what about you kiss me?” 

The other looked at him as if he had grown two heads. “W-What?” Donghyuck shrugged and smirked at Mark, cocking his head to the side. “Well, if you really want to have the experience, then you have to kiss me without me guiding you anymore.” 

Hesitation could be seen from Mark’s face. How his eyes kept wandering, him biting his lips, and his cheeks turning red. And Donghyuck was just a guy who had a very soft spot for Mark.

“I won’t laugh at you, don’t worry,” Donghyuck said with a small smile on his lips. Mark swallowed the non-existent bile from his throat and let out a soft sigh. His hands that were gripping Donghyuck’s shirt went to his chest, then he placed them on either side of the other’s neck. 

“Okay,” Mark whispered, “don’t… don’t make fun of me if I ever don’t like the feeling of your tongue, okay?” One of Donghyuck’s eyebrows raised with that statement. Sure, Mark was exploring, but he never would have thought that Mark would even consider french kissing. 

“Are you saying you want a taste of my tongue?” 

Mark instantly flushed, punching Donghyuck’s shoulder (not that hard) out of embarrassment. He stuttered through his words—It seems he could not find the right words to possibly defend himself.

Donghyuck laughed with this head thrown back and hands clutching on his stomach. “Okay, okay,” he said in between his laughs, wiping a tear away. “I won’t tease you if that ever happens, hm?” 

Mark was still glaring at him, still not fully trusting Donghyuck and his teasings. With that, Donghyuck raised his hand up, as if he was stating an oath, and the other was placed on Mark’s waist. “I, Lee Donghyuck, promises to not make fun of or laugh at Mark Lee if ever he does not like the feeling of our tongues tangling toge—”

“Okay! That’s enough!” Mark shouted. His face now beet red and his hands were now starting to sweat. He wiped them down on his shirt and placed them again on Donghyuck’s neck, slightly and gently pulling the latter closer to him, while Donghyuck’s arms wrapped around his tiny waist.

Mark took a deep breath before looking at Donghyuck’s lips then his eyes, which were already looking at him with so much want and a tinge of lust. Mark gulped and Donghyuck couldn't help but to stare. 

When Donghyuck noticed that Mark was still mentally preparing, almost zoning out looking at his lips, he grinned and tried to catch Mark’s eyes. “Whenever you’re ready, Markie,” he said. His hands were now placed on Mark’s cheeks, gently tapping them. 

After another minute, Mark shut his eyes tight, slowly leaned forward, and puckered his lips until it touched Donghyuck’s. A peck on the lips was the beginning. Mark looked at Donghyuck for any reaction, despite it being only a peck, but he saw the other staring at him. Patiently waiting for him to kiss him again, letting him do whatever he wanted. 

With a new found confidence and determination, Mark kissed Donghyuck again. This time it was longer. Then, he tried to move his lips, unsure and obviously inexperienced. 

But then, little by little, his kisses became confident. He pressed his lips harder against Donghyuck’s lips and let out a pleasured sigh. He even turned his head to the side to slot their lips better. 

Mark felt his heart almost jump out of joy when Donghyuck moved his lips as well, following his pace. It’s like a silent validation from the other. 

Donghyuck’s hands slowly slid down to Mark’s neck and pulled him to make the kiss deeper. Mark’s breath hitched, but he did not pull away. He wrapped his arms around Donghyuck’s neck instead and he felt the latter’s smile because of that. 

Loud smacking sounds can be heard across the living room, good thing Donghyuck’s roommate was out today or else Donghyuck would not hear the end of it. Mark couldn’t help but feel hot from how sensual the sounds they were making. He felt one of Donghyuck’s hands slide down to his waist, giving it a light squeeze as he moved closer. 

Donghyuck pulled away. “You’re doing great, baby.” Before Mark could react, he got pulled again for another deep kiss. From how focused they were from exchanging each other’s spit, Mark unconsciously pushed Donghyuck to sit properly on the couch and swung his leg over, straddling him with his ass directly on the other’s hard on. 

Donghyuck’s hands instantly went inside Mark’s shirt and caressed the latter’s smooth back. He slowly pushed his tongue against the other’s lips as if it was knocking for permission to go inside. Mark froze. Donghyuck broke away from the kiss and cups the other’s cheeks, worriedly looking at his eyes. “Hey, you okay? Was it too much?” 

Mark blinked once, then twice, and finally looked at Donghyuck’s worried eyes. He breathed out a sigh and held the other by the nape. “I’m okay,” Mark breathed out, “just… please—” Mark didn’t bother to finish his sentence and just pulled Donghyuck closer until their lips touched again. 

Mark’s breath hit against Donghyuck’s lips. Then, he slowly and shyly opened his mouth and stuck his tongue out a bit, until it brushed against the other’s plump lips. 

Mark slightly pulled away to look at Donghyuck for a silent approval. But it seemed like something snapped within the other and pulled him in again. Donghyuck became aggressive yet careful at the same time. The way his tongue would gently explore around Mark’s mouth, licking at the roof of the mouth, then touched Mark’s warm, wet tongue, tangling their tongues together. 

Mark moaned against Donghyuck’s open mouth as his hand gripped at the latter’s hair, making it more messy than it already was. Mark shivered when he felt Donghyuck’s hand rundown on his spine until it was carefully slipping inside his shorts to grab his ass, giving a cheek a gentle squeeze, which earned him a whimper from Mark. 

Mark was starting to feel suffocated, so he gently pulled away. His eyes were languid as he looked at Donghyuck’s wet, pink lips, and he couldn’t help himself but to give the other another quick, noisy peck. 

“Your tongue good,” Mark breathed out. Donghyuck cocked his head to the side with a boyish smile on his lips, slightly confused by what Mark had just said. “My tongue is good?” he said, trying to suppress his laugh. It seemed like Mark came back to reality as his dazed eyes became clear and wide. “I-I mean, you’re good with your tongue!” Mark turned beet-red after he realized what he had just said. He should just shut his mouth instead. 

Donghyuck chuckled. “Well, thank you, baby,” he said with a smirk on his lips. “Your tongue tastes good too,” he continued, making Mark squirm on his lap as he hid his face in Donghyuck’s neck. 

“Ah, Mark, stop moving too much,” Donghyuck gasped, “please.” Mark was confused at first but then he felt something hard against his ass. “Oh,” he exclaimed softly. He willed himself to stay still as he relaxed when Donghyuck’s big hands softly caressed his waist. 

“So,” Donghyuck licked his lips wet, “how was that for your first kiss?” Mark laughed softly and slowly nodded his head. “It was okay,” he said with feigned nonchalance, as if his flushed face and swollen lips were not obvious enough. 

Donghyuck raised his eyebrows at that. “It was okay?” he repeated in disbelief. He then gently held Mark’s chin and leaned him down until their lips were a breath apart. He could feel Mark's shaky breath as he pressed soft kisses on the upper lip, the lower, and the sides of the lips. 

He slightly tilted his head to the side as their lips slotted together once again. The kiss was slow, loud, and wet. Both of them would let out a soft moan whenever their tongues touch. Donghyuck gently bit on Mark’s lower lip, pulling it as they pulled away from the kiss. Mark pressed his forehead against the other, catching his breath, while Donghyuck was staring at him; his eyes were hooded, a soft smile on his lips, and flushed cheeks. 

“Was it still okay ?” Donghyuck teased. 

Mark rolled his eyes as he scoffed a laugh. “Fine! It was more than okay.”

“It was hot,” he whispered. His gaze locked on the other’s eyes. “Good to know,” Donghyuck whispered back. 

Suddenly, “Hey, Hyuck! Got some leftover pizza just for y—OH! Oh, I’m sorry—Fuck. Sorry!” Donghyuck’s roommate barged in, but instantly turned around and went back outside when he found Mark on Donghyuck’s lap with one of the latter’s hands still inside his shorts. 

Mark was staring at the door, too shocked with the sudden turn of events. He looked back at Donghyuck with wide eyes. “Is he going to be okay?” he whispered. 

“He’ll be fine. Don’t worry about him,” Donghyuck answered. “He even should be thankful that we have our clothes on,” he said, which earned him a hard smack on the chest.
