Markiplier X Reader

Chapter 10

"Are you an orphan?" My body stiffen up and my eyes widen a little. After a moment I forced my body to relax.

"Y-yes Mark. I am." Mark was wearing this weird look. Normally I can read emotions fairly well but this time...........

Sorrow? Worry? Pity? No. Definitely not pity........then what?

"Mark, what's with that look you're giving me?"

"Sorry, it's just.....it's......" Mark was trying to find words to say but wasn't having much luck. I let out a sigh.

"Mark, you don't have to say anything."

"I just have a few questions but I don't know how to ask them."

"Just ask them. Be has blunt as you want."

".........Were you ever adopted?"

"Yes and no." Mark's face told me he wanted more info.

"I would live in an orphanage for a few months, but adopted and live with them for a few weeks, and for whatever reason, be put in a different orphanage to repeat the cycle. The families either got bored with me or I was too much of a hassle." Mark suddenly pulled me into a hug and when he did, something in my mind clicked. I pulled myself out of Mark's hug and he looked confused.

"Mark, thank you for the hug but I don't need it right now. I need to think about something." Mark gave me a smile.

"Ok. I understand." Mark pulled out a slip of paper and scribbled something on it before handing it to me.

"If you need to talk to someone, call me."

"Thank you Mark. Hope you have a safe flight there and you make sure you're having a fun time, ok?"

"Yeah, I will. Also y/n?"

"Hmmm?"

"When I get back, we'll play more Okami together."

"You got it." With that, Mark left and so did my smile, it was replaced with a serious look.

Ok, I am almost certain of it now. I can't check right now though. I first need to get a steady pay. Dammit. That means I'm going to have to go job hunting. Oh well. I have nothing better to do anyway.

I then remembered that Mark gave me hi number so I plugged it into my phone and sent a text to Mark.

y/n: Hey Mark, it's y/n. Just letting you know that this is my number and also, I'm going job hunting. Wish me luck.

Mark: Thank you y/n. GOOD LUCK :)

"Dork." I mumbled out when I read his text. So for the next few hours, I walked around LA, going from fast-food restaurant to coffee shops but sadly, none of them were hiring. I just walked out another non-hiring fast food joint and I leaned against the wall.

"Well, this sucks. Why can't I be in some fanfic or something that conveniently gives me a high paying job when I need one." Suddenly my phone vibrated, letting me know that I received a text.

Mark: Any luck?

Y/n: Nope. There isn't a single place hiring nearby.

Mark: Unless I'm wrong, the library should be hiring.

Y/m: Really? Thanks Mark

Mark: No problem

I finally made it to the library and they were in-fact hiring. There was a 'help wanted' sign on the door. I entered the library and instantly felt at home. The smell of the books was so much better than the outside air.

"Can I help you?" A female voice asked. I turned and say a tall woman with brown hair in a bun, wearing glasses, a white blouse, and a pencil skirt. Her face was rather young looking and she seemed healthy.

"Uh yes. Are you by any chance hiring?"

"Yes we are. Are you interested?"

"Quite." She gave me nod and handed me a sheet of paper.

"Just fill this out please."

"Will do. Thank you." I sat down at one of the tables and began to fill in my information. It was basic stuff though, like what my name was, age, address, phone number, education and what times and days I feel comfortable working at. Once done, I handed the paper back to the woman.

"I'll call you to let you know if you're hired or not."

"Thank you. Have a nice day."

"You too." I left the library and began to walk back home.

Ok, step one is done. Tomorrow I'll check to see if my hunch is correct. I hope I am and at the same time, I hope I'm not.

Next thing I know I'm already up all the stairs and in my apartment. Even though it's only about 6 I lay down on my couch and fall asleep. All of that walking made me tired.
