Pride Month Drabble #20
I’m sorry this one’s kinda sad but there’s a happy ending!
———————
Pairing: Markren
Prompt: Tremble
Mark was tired a lot. When he was tired his mood tended to go south very easily. Renjun would often walk into their room to see the older boy crying or on the verge of tears. He never seemed to try to stop his tears or wipe them away. He would just sit there and let them fall, his face laden with exhaustion and resignation.
As the leader of NCT Dream, Mark often had to act much older than his age, much more mature. It was times like this when Renjun was reminded how young he really was and how fragile he was under the facades he put up.
It had become routine for Renjun to sit with him when he would walk in to find Mark trembling with quiet sobs of exhaustion and hidden resentment for their company for making him do so much. Renjun would sit down on the bed next to him, massage his shoulders a little to make them less tense, and if it was an especially bad day, he would sing softly to the older boy, which seemed to calm him down very well.
Mark wasn’t a robot, he got tired, and sometimes when he couldn’t handle everything the company threw at him, Mark found that Renjun could quite easily make him feel a lot better.
