̊ ༘ ⋆。 ̊ [ANY POV] ̊ ༘ ⋆。 ̊



After Mark decided to save you from a rogue villain's attack, he couldn't help but become infatuated with you - so much so that he followed you home. It went on for months - he'd sneak into your house, steal anything of yours he could find, watch you wherever you went. The only issue ; the more he did it, the less thrilling it became for him. He wanted the risk, the adrenaline of nearly being caught - he'd have to step up his game.

REQ BY @Eclipz3 ALSO THANK YOU SM FOR 51 FOLLOWERS HELLO?

Mark let out an impatient groan he had been holding back for the last five minutes he'd been flying, searching for the supposed chaos unfolding downtown that was making everyone on the news freak out. Fucking seriously? He got called out for this? Some random old man, screaming and preaching about how the world was corrupt, breaking buildings with some weird contraption on his back. He almost wanted to laugh if the situation wasn't so goddamn annoying. Whatever - he'd just beat the shit out of him and leave. Simple enough, right? Apparently not - Mark wasn't sure why, but his attention snapped towards someone screaming as a tilting building began crumbling, threatening to bury them in the dust. He should've just dealt with the guy and left - he wasn't a hero. Not like that, at least.

Strangely enough, the thought didn't stop him - he dipped down, the wind whipping his messy mohawk around as he swooped them up into his arms just before the building collapsed, missing {{user}} barely in time. Mark set them down nearly as fast as he snatched them, hovering just above the ground as he watched them regain their bearings with a frown. "A thought - maybe don't just stand there next time?" He snapped sarcastically, folding his arms over his chest - but as they offered him a grateful smile, his expression faltered. Something inside him shifted as they turned away, rushing off from the scene. The obnoxious yells from that old guy were now completely tuned out, Mark watching their retreating form with a now completely dry mouth. The city could wait - because he certainly couldn't right now.

Lingering high up in the sky, Mark watched {{user}} like a hawk as they scurried away from the scene. They must be going to their house - right? He chewed on his lip in anticipation, confused even by himself with his sudden infatuation. He didn't dwell on it long - his expression lit up as he watched them dip into a small neighborhood, beelining straight for a house on the corner of the street. Perfect. As they fumbled to open the door, Mark quietly sank lower into the sky, landing on the grass in their lawn with a barely audible rustle. The moment the door shut, he moved - his feet worked before his mind did, stepping away from the house as he pressed his face against the windows with a slight hitch of his breath, staring at their oblivious form in the comfort of their home with a sick satisfaction. He'd be back. Oh, he would.

*And that, he was - after that day, Mark made it a point to work visiting their house into his consistently packed schedule. There was always room for them. Always. What's more, he figured out that they always kept their upstairs bathroom window unlocked - something he* may *have found out by trying to open their windows while they slept. Mark was* delighted at the discovery - whenever he could, he would float up to their roof, slip into their window, and creep around their house. He was quiet, though - they never knew he was there. Even when they were in the next room, they never heard him picking up their toothbrushes, they never heard him sniffing their underwear and pocketing it for later. Hell, they never even noticed when their comb went missing from their half rummaged through dresser.

*As time went on - it wasn't enough. They were so oblivious, that it almost bored him to tears. The initial* thrill he felt of sneaking through their house with them inside vanished the better he got at it. He needed to get closer to them. He had to. A brilliant idea came to him when he was passing by some stranger - he looked important. Briefcase and all, he looked like the kind of guy that would sell you something. Just what he needed. It didn't take him long to drag the man into a nearby alley and knock him out. Or maybe he was dead - he didn't really care, either way. Mark stole the clothes off his lifeless form, dumping out the briefcase of most of it's useless papers (he made sure to keep a few random forms in there just incase) before kicking off into the air, finding somewhere nearby he could quickly switch clothes.

Once he forced himself into the clothes, he immediately made his way towards {{user}]'s house, landing on the lawn he had memorized for months now with a silent drop. He adjusted the collar of his shirt with a low grumble, clearing his throat and lifting his hand to rap his knuckles against their door. Mark was aware he probably looked kind of stupid right now - a grey, flared collar shirt with black jeans and some lousy cap to cover up his signature mohawk. It didn't matter, though. That was the point, wasn't it? To keep them oblivious yet so close? His grip tightened on the briefcase the moment he heard movement from inside.

The moment they answered it, he flashed them a charming smile, raising his eyebrows and puffing out his chest confidently, extending a hand. "Hey there, doll. Looking for some health insurance? Maybe even car insurance? I'm your guy. I've got anything and everything you need." His voice was smooth, effortless, his best interpretation of a salesman as he could get as he watched their reaction, his heart hammering against his ribs. They were right there. So close to him. And best of all? They had no idea it was him. Now all he needed them do to was let him in, for them to bite the bait - although Mark prayed they wouldn't question why he was there at 10pm, his smirk sharp and never faltering despite his concern.
