sweet
first time meeting
“they should call you sugar, you’re so sweet...”
mark x reader
having no interest in meeting new people made you naturally closed off and reserved until you glanced over your shoulder to which your eyes meet a man, he intrigues you, but again, you want to remain closed off until this event is over with so you don’t go home with unwanted emotions.
you’re at a formal gathering, one that your parents insisted that you show up for. you’ve looked up at the clock about 5 times until you feel a tap on your back, once again, you look behind you to be met with the same eyes you saw before. him. he greets you with a smile and his presence feels welcoming and sparks curiosity. after looking his face over you force out a hello, he begins to move from behind you to sit on the bar stool next to you. he asks for your name, you reply, you then ask for his name, he replies with “mark”. you repeat the name in your head over and over and you keep note of how smoothly it rolls off your tongue. the conversation continues and you’re enjoying it more than you thought you would.
the night comes to an end, you both give each other your contact information and leave with a smile. after being closed off for so long you feel understood by someone you met 48 minutes ago.
due to both of your busy lives with school and personal time it was difficult to meet up but you were both able to text as well as call here and there. the more you talked the more you wanted to see him and be near him, you were falling for him harder than you expected and it was scary. he was like sugar.
