Inside and Out <3
This is set in a universe where Prisoner Mark escapes his viltrum prison and comes back to earth to be with his s/o.

He noticed he’s been getting pudgier since living with you. It hit him one morning when he was changing clothes. Since Mark escaped back to earth, he’s been self-conscious of his looks. He didn’t have a mirror in his jail cell, so for a long time he didn’t know what he looked like. After all the torture he assumed the worse, but the fact he looked almost completely unrecognizable. His skin now burnt and scared, it really affected him mentally.
You’ve known Mark since childhood, before his dad went full evil and left earth with him. And now that he’s back, all you’ve wanted to do is show him how much you’ve missed him.
Every now and then you like to get up early and make breakfast for Mark and you, it’s a domestic sight really. The quiet sound of sizzling bacon and eggs, the smell wafting through the air, it’s what woke Mark up. A pair of arms wrap around you, and you can feel Mark's head nuzzle into the back of your neck. “Smells great,” Mark said quietly, hugging you a little tighter. “But I might skip out this time.”
He pulls away and opens the fridge, searching for something else to eat. “What’s wrong I thought you liked bacon and eggs?” you said confused. “I do!” He replied quickly, “It’s just– I feel like I've been gaining weight lately.” Mark tries not to look you in the eye, with his skin all scarred you can barely see his cheeks flush with embarrassment.
You look at him and blink as you slowly process what he said, then a smile breaks out onto your face. “Mark, so what if you put a little meat on your bones, honestly you look hot, like really hot!” You try telling Mark but he’s already refuting. “No, I look pregnant." “You're a guy.” “A pregnant looking guy.” You roll your eyes and huff out a laugh, the food smells like it’s ready, so you turn your attention back to it.
As you're plating the food you turn back to Mark. “Listen babe, I know you don’t really like the extra weight but what can I say, I like feeding my man.” Mark smiled softly and made his way over to you. “And thank you, but I just don’t wanna gain anymore weight.” “I already look like this, he slightly gestures over his face, I don't need to make it worse.” He mutters the last part out, not sure if he really wanted you to hear that or not.
You frown hearing this and set the two plates down on the table and walk over to him, you put your hand up to cup his face. You’re looking him deeply in the eyes, and no matter how hard he tries, he just can’t look away from you.
“Mark, listen to me when I say this, you are the most beautiful person I have ever met.” “Ever since we were kids, I’ve always thought that.” Mark frowns slightly, “But we’re not kids anymore, I don’t look like that anymore, I don’t even look human.”
“Mark since the moment we met I couldn’t get over your beauty, you’re loyal, compassionate, and understanding. Those are just some things I love about you, inside and out you’re very beautiful to me, and you always will be.”
For a couple seconds Mark is just quietly staring at you, then and a blur his lips are on your lips. You pull away for air and circle around Mark till your chest to waist with him and wrapping your arms around his torso.
You use both hands and grab the slight pudge that’s sticking out, “Besides what’s wrong with having some extra weight, I think it makes you look even sexier.” He twists his head and you both share a loving kiss. “So I’ve been told.” Mark teases “And I’ll keep telling you, for as long as I have to.” You finish the sentence with another kiss then grab his hand, guiding him to the table.
“Now come eat the meal I so tirelessly slaved over.” Mark smiles and rolls his eyes, “Alright alright I’m coming.” He says, trying to sound annoyed but finding it hard with the smile growing on his face and his heartbeat beating in his ears.
Mark sits across from you at the table, now just enjoying each other's company, after a couple minutes he notices you staring. "Something wrong?" "No, you say smiling, I just love watching you eat."
