lol all I can think of for Joan/Owen is both of them thinking about Ellie's biceps in bed so... for Sam/Mark, what about accidental time travel during a mugging? Or accidental time travel the first time they kiss or try to have sex? First kiss/first time happens somewhere... special because dammit they will not let time travel ruin the moment. Where and when do they go? Back to the 1800s England? Ancient Greece? WWII?
Okay I like the idea of Sam and Mark’s first kiss/ first time getting almost ruined by time travel. I’m gonna go with first kiss because I ain’t comfortable writing about sex so I hope that’s okay. Also I ship this way more than Joan and Owen sorry not sorry
___________________________________________________
Mark and Sam had officially started dating for a few months and things were heading into the right direction after a few dates of showing Mark most of the stuff he had missed while he was trapped in a time when no one could see or hear him. They had both tried to be considerate about what the other had been through but had been around each other enough to know what the other didn’t like talking about. Mark had organised a small picnic in the park as a date while the sun began to set. Very romantic in his opinion.
The date was going very well until Mark leant closer to Sam. Her anxiety got the best of her and she went on one of her trips. Mark grabbed her hand before she disappeared and went with her. It was the 20th July 1969. The afternoon of the rocket launch.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I should of just stopped the trip before it started. And I’ve probably ruined the night you planned because who knows where or when the hell we are. I’m sorry Mark. I-I thought I was doing well too with controlling it but-” Sam rambled in a panic tone while trying to figure out where they had both landed.
She guessed the late sixties judging by the clothing of the people looking straight through her. Mark interrupted her by moving her closer by her waist and pressing his lips against hers. The roars of the rocket launching could be heard with everyone screaming with excitement as America made history. Sam grew less tense and let herself relax, her anxiety calming down with the kiss. Mark pulled away slowly and looked at her with a sheepish grin, her face was a fading red colour from being surprised.
“Don’t apologise” Mark told her “it’s alright. Let’s just enjoy the hell and we’ll be back before you know it” he said to her as his hands moved away from her waist, suddenly nervous about what he had just done. It was spontaneous and a random act of affection. It seemed to calm down Sam so it was an added bonus. The woman only smiled and felt the heat from her cheeks fade ever so slowly
“Well that’s one way to have a first kiss”
