Markiplier X Reader

Chapter 22

We made it to the salon a few minutes before the appointment.

"So Lauren, are you just going to get a trim?" I asked as we entered the building.

"I don't know."

"Get whatever you want. It's your hair."

"Thank you mom." Lauren got called up and she told the hairdresser what she wanted. My phone vibrated and I looked to see who it was.

Mark, again.

Mark: Hey, where are you?

y/n: At Lauren's hair appointment.

Mark: Ok. Maybe after that, you two could come over to FusionMix for some yogurt.

Y/n: Sure. I'll let you know when we get there.

Mark: Cool. See you soon.

Y/n: See you soon.

I put my phone away and saw that Lauren was almost done. Her hair was now at her ear and it was cut unevenly. It looked messy but in a cute way. She hopped off of the chair and made her way to me.

"What do you think?"

"It's cute. Oh, and how does yogurt sound?" Her eyes light up in excitement.

"Let me pay for this first and then we'll go get yogurt."

"Yay!. Are we going to FusionMix? It's just pass the highschool."

"You mean the one you will be going to next year?"

"Yup." I payed for the haircut and we left the building.

"We could walk there." Lauren suggested.

"Sure. Lead the way." So she did. After a few minutes of walking and Lauren telling me how her day of school was, we made it to the highschool.

"Another 5 or 10 minutes and we'll be there."

"Cool." Before we could pass the school, a teen girl stood in front of us. She had waist-length black hair, in a ponytail, brown eyes that didn't seem too nice, make up, a Markiplier shirt, ripped jeans, and boots. I saw her glaring at Lauren so i stood in front of her, my own eyes hardening.

"Can I help you?"

"Who do you think you are?" She asked me coldly. I did not like the air around her, it was hostile, almost challenging. I straighten my posture and made it to where I was staring down at her.

"How dare you be in a video with Mark! He's mine!" My body relaxed as I let out a sigh.

Is that all? Goddammit. This is bull crap.

"Look, can you get out of our way?"

"No. Not until you stay away from my Mark!" She got another look of Lauren.

"And her too. Why was she in the background of one of Mark's videos?! I see how you look at him. You can't have him!" She took a step towards us and my posture straighten up again. I took a step forwards and a low growl was in my throat.

"Suggest that you be the one to back off."

"Why should I?" She challenged. I took another step, my e/c eyes darkening.

"Because I see you as a threat to both my daughter and Mark's community of wonderful fans. Mark is not yours. Mark does not belong to anyone but himself. Stand down now." My voice was low and demanding. Her body stiffen for a moment.

"Fuck you! You're lucky you know! If I see you again, you'll be sorry!" She ran off to who knows where.

Well that could have been worse but also better. Dammit.

My body relaxed and turned to face Lauren.

"You ok?"

"Yeah. How are you so brave mom?"

"Huh?"

"Because I would have been too scared to speak if it was only me."

"That's why?"

"What?"

"If you're alone, it's harder to be brave but I have you and Mark." Lauren grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.

"I have you and Mark as well."

"Yep. Now lets go get some yogurt." We continued to walk and soon made it to the shop. I called Mark to let him know that we were at FusionMix. We went inside and waited for Mark.

"Are you going to tell Mark what happened?"

"After yogurt. Let's enjoy our time." She gave a nod and Mark soon came.

"Hey Mark."

"Hey y/n. Woah, nice haircut Lauren."

"Thank you." He ruffled her hair and we got our yogurt. We sat at a table and enjoyed ourselves.

"So Lauren, how was your day at school?" Mark asked.

"Oh, it was good. Not much homework. Just some math."

"Any annoying students?"

"Well yeah but mom took care of them." Mark gave me a weird look.

"What? I didn't hurt them."

"Good. Anyway, I didn't see your car outside."

"Yeah. We walked here from the hair appointment."

"I'll be right back." Lauren said before getting up and leaving for the restroom. As soon as she was out of ear shot, I got Mark's attention.

"On the way here, we ran into a 'fan' of yours."

"What do you mean?"

"She basically threaten both Lauren and I to stay away from you. She claimed that you were her's."

"Y/n, there are some fans out there that-"

"Mark, it's one thing to threaten me. It's another to threaten my daughter and your community. I think it's best if Lauren stays with you at your place. for a while"
