This was a request from AwkwardPineapple!! Hope you enjoy Oikaw- I mean Mark Twain ;)
Slight possible spoilers from the manga???
"Ugh. This is so boring, I can't take this anymore." Mark threw his hands up in the air as he kicked the desk and spun around in his spiny chair.
"Mark, you know you have to finish those paper works or Mr. Fitzgerald won't be happy." Lucy scolded as she came into the room, holding a stack of papers up to her chin.
"All those left?! No way, nope, nope. I hate plain work." he turned around to face a certain girl. His eyes suddenly brightened and he came up with a brilliant idea.
"Let's play truth or dare! Lucy, you join!"
"W-What?! I'm not joining in. A lot of embarrassing things can happen when I'm playing that stupid game." Lucy grumbled.
"That's what makes the game interesting and fun!" Mark clapped his hands. "Come on everyone, let's stop with the dumb paper works and do something exciting!" Everyone surprisingly agreed to the idea as they all sat around in a circle.
"Hey, (F/N) chan! You should join too! It'll be much more fun with you in it!" Mark shouted across the room to you. You were working diligently on your paper work and you were a little irritated that Mark decided to play a game and lured everyone in it. But you didn't mind one bit after he said it would be so much more fun with you and since you had big feelings for him, so you couldn't resist.
"Alright~" you smiled warmly as you stood up from the chair and sat on the floor where everyone was in a circle.
"(F/N) chan! Sit here!" Lucy hollered, tapping the open spot next to her.
"I thought you didn't want to play, Lucy." you said, taking a seat next to her.
"Well, there's just something I want to make sure~" she giggled evilly, eyeing you mischievously. You just nod in response. Mark began to explain the game.
"So in this cup has a slip of papers with everyone's names on it." Mark held up the cup. "We will go around everyone in a circle and they will pick the paper up without looking. If you get your own name, just put it back into the cup. But if you get someone else's name, you will ask them truth or dare."
"But the trick is this:" Mark held his finger with a sly smile. "Everyone has to do at least 1 dare. Truths are ok because that's what everyone does."
"WHAT?! I DO NOT WANT TO DO A DARE! NO WAY!" Lucy suddenly screeched, her face scorched with red.
"Is there something wrong, Lucy? Anything you want to confess???" Margaret raised her eyebrows up and down.
"N-No! Nothing at all!"
"Alright then. Let's start with Fyodor. Ready?" Mark shook the cup as he handed it to Fyodor. His bored eyes swayed towards Mark and then to the cup as he picks out his first paper.
"John Steinbeck." he spoke. John muscle's tensed. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth!"
"What is your favorite fruit?"
John mentally sighed in relief. "Grapes."
"Woah, woah woah! Hold up!" Mark held his hand to a halt. "Sorry, Fyodor, but if we're going to play this game, we have to make it exciting. We already knew that John's favorite fruit was grapes. Ask something that we don't know about him."
"Oh, sorry." Fyodor passed the cup to his left which was Margaret.
"Oh, Lovecraft... Truth or dare?" she asked after she picked the paper.
"Hm, let's see... I pick truth." the man with the wild and long black hair answered.
"If you could save only one person in this room from the brink of death, who would it be?" Margaret asked.
Lovecraft hummed deeply, putting his hand under his chin, thinking long and hard. "Well, I would pick John because he is my partner after all." John gave a sweet smile.
"That's what I thought. I ship you two." Margaret smirked.
"EH?!" everyone gaped in unison.
"Aw, come on! If we're going to do truth, it has to be about love! Nothing is more exciting about love when playing truth or dare!" Margaret giggled.
"This is exactly why I didn't want to play this game..." Lucy muttered.
"You have someone you like in this room?" you asked.
Her face became pink a little. "Not in this room... But whatever! It's my turn next!" she slipped her fingers into the cup and pulled out a slip of paper. Somehow, the room fell silent instantly and you felt the intensity rising from Lucy.
"(F/N) chan~ I got you~" she taunted with a dark smile.
"W-Why are you looking at me like that?" you flinched.
"Truth or dare??? Come on, you can do it..."
"Truth."
"Ok, when did you have your first kiss?" Lucy asked. You felt heat rising up to your cheeks. You knew that Lucy knew the answer to this because she asked you the same exact question few days ago. Was she trying to set you up?
"I-I've never had my first kiss yet..." you looked down at the floor, blushing slightly.
"Ohohoho! Well, this is interesting!!" Margaret suddenly burst out in laughter. You knew this was a bad idea. Lucy just smiled pleasantly like she was pleased with the answer you gave out. She ushered the cup to you as you pulled out the next contestant.
"Mark."
Everyone feel silent but then gave you a smirk. They were all thinking of the same thing, just when you gave out your truth from the last round. Lucy poked her fingers to your arm.
"You know what this means... If he picks dare, you have to ask him to kiss you..."
"What?! No way! That's embarrassing!" you hissed quietly at the girl.
"I pick dare, (F/N) chan." Mark suddenly decided. You turned to the brunette, slightly panicked.
"Are you sure you want dare? I mean, there's truth you can go for..." you laughed nervously.
"Nah, everyone has been picking truth and it's getting a little repetitive. So give me all the good dares you've got!" he winked at you. You felt your head go into an overdrive and explode.
'M-My first kiss with M-Mark??? But, but, I can't do it in front of everyone! That's too embarrassing...' you thought desperately and racked your brain into other dares you could think of. But the way Lucy taunted you to the dare, made you lose track of your thoughts.
"(F/N) chan? You alright? You look a little red..." Mark pointed out.
"I can't do this anymore! I'm leaving!" you suddenly declared as you stood up and dashed out the door with full speed. You were utterly embarrassed and it's all thanks to Lucy.
"What was that all about?" Mark tilted his head, perplexed.
Lucy sighed loudly. "I guess I pushed her too hard..."
"You set her up to this?"
"Yeah, kinda. I'll just go apologize to her right now." Lucy got up but Mark stopped her.
"No, I'll go. You apologize to her later. There's something I want to talk about with (F/N) chan." he stated as he walked out the door.
"Ohohoho... I knew this was going to be exciting..." Margaret snickered.
You were out in the halls curled up into a little ball, pitying yourself on how you were so awkward and so embarrassed that you made a scene in front of everyone.
'Mark definitely hates me now... Well, I don't even know if he liked me from the start anyways...'
"(F/N) chan?" Mark called out. You shot your head up to see Mark bending down in front of you, with a worried look on his face.
"Are you ok? You really had me worried back there."
"N-No! It's nothing! I didn't do- I mean, I wasn't-" you tried your best to come up with excuses to why you were acting that way back there.
"Hey, (F/N) chan. I've been meaning to tell you." Mark suddenly spoke in a serious tone. "Do you hate me?"
"Why would you think that?"
"Lately, I've been getting this vibe from you that whenever I make eye contact, you would always look away immediately. Or when I try to talk to you, you never look at me and you barely say anything. I feel like you're distant from me, and to be honest, I don't like it." Mark explained.
Now you felt bad. You had feelings for him so whenever you were around him, you were so shy that it made him look like you hated him and that was the last thing you wanted to do to Mark. You looked down at your toes, still unable to speak.
"That's what I thought. It's alright if you hate me." his voice saddens as he got up until you grabbed his wrist.
"Sorry if I made you feel like that... Truth is I've been meaning to tell you this but I just couldn't find the courage to... But I like you." you finally spoke the 3 final words you've been dying to say all week. You were still looking at the floor, but you didn't see Mark's slightly astonished expression. He curved his lips into an small affectionate smile as he sat down. Before you knew it, his fingers laced with yours and you felt a soft and smooth pair of lips touching you.
"It looks like our feelings our mutual." he said after he broke the kiss. Your face was covered in pink as you cupped your cheeks. Both of you suddenly felt a presence nearby and you both turned to look. There was cameras and phones held out from the open door.
"Guys..." Mark scolded. Lucy popped her head out the door.
"That was perfect! My timing was on point!" Lucy showed the picture of the two of you kissing. "I'm making this my home screen. My OTP right here!" Lucy gave you a silly grin.
"What should the ship name be?" Margaret asked, putting her phone away.
"Hmm... I have to give a thought about that..." John pondered loudly.
"Let's just go to somewhere private, (F/N) chan." Mark winked as he led you out the hall. You couldn't help but the giggle to the distant shouts, begging you guys to come back for a proper ship name for you and Mark.
โโโโโโโโ
This was a bit challenging for me to write because I don't really know much about the Guild and Mark. He only has been showed in the manga for only one or two chapters. (more Mark please!!)
But I hope it was cute and enjoyable :3
Please don't kill Lucy though... She was only trying to set you guys up.
The reason why Lucy was so against the game was that she wanted no one to ask her who she liked because I have a feeling she likes Atsushi kun according to the manga ;)
