A little something something for that MorkDay scene in the changing room?? 🫣 that tension omg I haven't moved on
Day wasn’t quite sure why he’d asked Mork to accompany him into the changing room. He was, after all, perfectly capable of dressing himself. He told himself it was because he was in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by unfamiliar people and unfamiliar sounds, but he knew that wasn’t entirely true. Mork could have provided him with emotional support just as easily through the thin fabric of the dressing room curtain. The truth was that it had been a long time since anyone had looked at his body with anything other than medical curiosity or pity. He had been desirable once. He wanted to know if he still was.
The changing room was so small that Day could feel the heat emanating from Mork’s body as he stood in front of him. He could even sense the older man’s nervousness as he shuffled from foot to foot. It reminded him of the day they had met when Mork stumbled unprepared into the interview room, unsuspecting of what awaited him inside. Like then, he was nervous and Day was not. Day found that he liked it.
He unbuttoned his shirt and shrugged out of it, his heartbeat loud in his ears. Mork had seen him in various states of undress before, but there was something so intimate about purposefully baring himself before him. About willingly letting himself be seen.
Before the accident, Day had been in the best shape of his life, and although he knew he was started to lose muscle tone, some of it remained. He couldn’t see it in the mirror, but he could feel it with his hands. He was still fit, still trim, and as Mork struggled to find a safe topic of conversation, Day realized that he saw it too.
“I’ve, uh, never been in a dressing room with someone else before,” Mork said.
Although Day was more accustomed to judging peoples’ interest in him by the look in their eyes, he found that there were other telltale signs of arousal. The broken cadence of a voice, the shaky touch of a hand. Mork was not uninterested. Day could tell because his usual acerbic tone had been diluted into something almost tame. It pleased him.
“And you think I have?”
Mork helped him into and then out of the T-shirt, his touch polite, and with each gentle brush of his hand, Day found himself getting addicted to the feel of another person’s skin on his because although Mork was treating him as if he were something fragile, it wasn’t the same fragility Day felt in his mother’s touch. Mork wasn’t worried that his touch might break him. Mork was worried that his touch might make him want more than he was allowed to have. It was a familiar phenomenon—one Day had felt often at parties and bars. If he was being honest, he hadn’t thought he would ever feel it again.
So, as Mork began to painstakingly re-button Day’s uniform shirt, Day decided it wasn’t enough.
“Actually, I think I want to wear the other one,” he said.
“Oh. Okay.”
And so, for a few minutes longer, Mork’s touch lingered.
“Do I look good?” Day asked once the shirt was finally on.
Mork let out a nervous laugh. “You do,” he said.
Day had been talking about more than the shirt, but that was okay. He didn’t need Mork to admit that he was attracted to him. He already knew.

Jealousy Endeavor. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*────୨ৎ────°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*
Rafe Cameron had always known you were special.
From the moment you two met, he could see the spark in your eyes—the kind that made you stand out from the rest. You were his precious girl, his princess, and every time you smiled, he couldn't help but feel like he had the world in his hands.
But you weren’t the jealous type. At least, you hardly ever were. It wasn’t like you to feel threatened by someone else; after all, you knew you were Rafe’s girl, the one who owned his heart completely.
Still, today was different.
It all started at the country club. You were with Sarah, Topper, and Kelce, lounging by the couches when Rafe suddenly mentioned he was going to grab a drink from Sofia. Now, you knew Sofia—everyone did. But that wasn’t the issue. The problem was the way Rafe said her name, so casual, so familiar. It made something inside you tighten.
As Rafe strolled over to the bar, your eyes followed him, narrowing slightly when you saw Sofia flash him a smile that lingered just a little too long for your liking. Rafe returned it with that charming grin of his, and suddenly, your mood soured. You weren’t usually like this. Rafe was yours; you knew that. But seeing Sofia so close to him, so comfortable around him -
"You okay?" Sarah asked, her voice light but concerned.
You plastered on a smile that didn’t quite reach your eyes. "Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?" you replied, your tone a bit sharper than intended. Sarah gave you a knowing look but didn’t press further.
Minutes passed, and Rafe was still at the bar. You watched as Sofia leaned over, saying something that made Rafe laugh. It wasn’t a big deal, you told yourself. She was just doing her job, being friendly with the customers. But your mind wouldn’t let it go. What could be taking so long?
Your pout only grew more and more, and by the time Rafe finally came back with the drinks, you were in full-on sulk mode.
“Here you go, princess,” Rafe said, handing you your pink drink, completely oblivious to your mood. He leaned in to kiss your cheek, but you turned your head slightly, making him miss.
Rafe paused, his brow furrowing as he looked at you. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” you replied, your voice clipped as you took the drink, not even looking at him.
Rafe wasn’t convinced. “You sure about that?” He tilted his head, trying to catch your gaze, but you stubbornly avoided it, staring off into the distance with a pout.
Kelce snickered from his lounge chair. “Dude, you’re in trouble,” he teased, earning a light smack from Sarah.
“Shut up, Kelce,” she whispered, though she couldn’t help but smile at the exchange.
Rafe crouched down beside you, placing a gentle hand on your knee.
"Talk to me, baby,” he coaxed softly, his voice dripping with that tenderness he saved just for you.
You finally looked at him, your eyes narrowing slightly, "You looked like you were having a great time over there.”
Rafe’s lips twitched as he fought back a smile. He knew better than to laugh when you were like this. “You’re jealous,” he teased, his voice low and playful.
“I am not jealous!” you snapped, though the heat in your cheeks suggested otherwise.
Rafe chuckled, unable to resist anymore. He loved this side of you, even if it drove him crazy sometimes.
“Don’t get jealous,” he murmured, leaning in closer. “You own my heart. It’s fucking yours, baby. I’m all yours.”
You bit your lip, the frustration slowly fading away as you melted under his gaze. You hated how easily he could do that to you, but you also loved it. “You better be,” you mumbled, still pouting but less convincingly now.
Rafe smiled, knowing he had you. He brushed his lips against your ear, sending a shiver down your spine. “Always, princess. Only you.”
You sighed, finally letting your pout slip away as you leaned into him, feeling the tension leave your body as Rafe’s arms wrapped around you. He pressed a kiss to your temple, holding you close, making you feel like the most important person in the world. And you were—at least, to him.
Sarah and Topper exchanged glances, smirking at the sight. “They’re like an old married couple,” Topper joked, earning a chuckle from Kelce.
“Yeah, but they’re perfect for each other,” Sarah added with a smile, watching as Rafe kissed your forehead, murmuring sweet nothings that only you could hear.
And just like that, everything was perfect again.
ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚
As Carrie Bradshaw would say : And just like that heres my second blurb about Rafe🪄
