Sean quickly hung up the phone. Mark looked over at him with worried eyes.

"What's wrong, baby?" Mark put a comforting hand on Sean's shoulder. Sean flinched, but upon realizing it was only Mark, he calmed back down. Sean let out a shaky breath and started to speak quickly.

"Chris, called me. He called me baby and I didn't want him to call me like how did he even get my number? I don't know how he got my number I-" Sean's rambling was cut off by Mark who kissed him.

"I'm ending this once and for all. We're not going to have anyone else ruin our life together." Mark announced. He grabbed Sean gently by his hand and led him out to the living room where Parker and Kodi were making out on the couch. They broke apart from the sudden intrusion. "Stay here with them and I'll be back." Mark gently commanded as to not seem as controlling as Chris used to be.

"Where are you going, Mark?" Sean sniffled, tears coming to his eyes.

"I'm going to get us our happy ending." Mark announced and shut the door behind him. Sean watched Mark's back as it exited the door. He felt sadness but hopefulness all at the same time. Mark slipped his jacket on his arms as he walked down to his car. He only had one goal in mind, and that was to get Chris off of their backs.

When Mark and Sean had last seen Chris, he had left his address with Sean as a way to try and get Sean back into his life but Mark would use it as a way to get him out of his life instead. Mark drove for a good half hour before pulling up in front of an apartment complex that had seen better days. He slowly walked up to apartment 36b where Chris was staying. Mark took a deep breath and knocked on the door. It took a second but after a while, the door opened to reveal Chris. Chris smirked at Mark before slamming the door shut again. Mark grabbed the door before it could fully shut and flung it open again. Chris's eyes went wide as Mark barged into the apartment. Chris stammered something out and went tumbling back onto the couch. Mark shut the door behind him. Chris held his hands up in defense.

"Look, I don't really want your boyfriend, Wreck It Ralph!" Chris cried out. "Don't beat my beautiful face in!" Mark cocked an eyebrow because he hadn't planned to do that at all. He had only come to talk and if worse came to worse, pay him off. Mark's face hardened in mock fierceness.

"Yeah, that's right. I've come to kick your ass. So, if you don't stay away from my boyfriend I will punch your face in…!" Mark bellowed meekly. However, it did the trick. Chris held his hands up again.

"Alright, alright! I'll leave him and you alone!" Chris cried out. Mark smiled triumphantly. He turned to leave, but then turned back around and stomped his foot aggressively at Chris. Chris screeched and fell off the couch. Mark chuckled to himself and left. Driving home he wondered to himself why Chris acted the way he did. He wasn't scary was he? He was only 5'10 and he watched my little pony still for christ's sakes. Mark looked down at himself and then in the mirror. Mark raised an eyebrow at himself. Nah, he wasn't threatening. That guy was just tripping on something. Mark drove home faster than normal, in order to get home and tell S ean the good news.

Back at home, Sean was pacing back and forth nervously, when the door opened. Mark walked in and Sean jumped into his arms.

"Where have you been? I've been so worried about you!" Sean exclaimed and hugged Mark tightly. "What did you do? Did you beat him up?" Sean asked worriedly.

"What? No! Why does everyone immediately go to that?" Mark asked, chuckling slightly.

"Well what did you do?" Parker asked, cuddled up to Kodi.

"Well he was actually just so threatened by me that he offered to leave us alone." Mark smiled.

"See, you are threatening!" Parker exclaimed.

"Regardless, he's gone now and I think this calls for a celebration!" Mark cheered. So that was how the boys found themselves hosting a second party only a couple of days later. However, this time it was only their close friends.

"And then what happened?" Craig asked as he cuddled up to Tyler.

"He cried and told me not to hurt him!" Mark laughed and took a drink of his cup. The group laughed.

"Why did he do that?" Jonathan asked and nuzzled into Evan.

"Because Mark is a burly man who scares people." Daithi joked. Lui and Marcel high fived and Minx and Felix walked off to go get some more drinks for the group.

"I'm not burly am I, baby?" Mark frowned and kissed Sean's forehead.

"Of course not, babe." Sean hugged him and then mouthed "Yes" behind his back to the group who cracked smiles. Felix and Minx came back with shots for the whole group. They cheered.

"To happily ever afters." Parker raised their glass and smiled over at Kodi. The rest of the group raised their cups as well to drink to that. The group drank together, this faces contorting slightly but taking it nonetheless.

"And may we all be happy together forever." Mark added when they all put their cups down. Sean and him shared a kiss and for the first time they were truly happy and nothing would change that. When the party was over, Mark and Sean waved goodbye to the last of their friends and then turned to each other.

"I'm so glad you don't know how to spell." Sean teased. Mark grabbed Sean by the waist and dipped him before kissing him passionately.

"I'm so glad you came into that coffee shop." Mark smiled at him and the two kissed again.
