My neighbor Markiplier

Stuck in the Middle

I was downstairs in my apartment with Barry before Mark woke up. He and I were playing cards for some reason, said he just felt like playing. We were playing poker, and I kept winning for some reason." What the hell? How are you so good?" I shrugged, and let him win three times. I heard vomiting upstairs, and we stayed downstairs." Aren't you going to see if their okay?" I shook my head, and put my cards down." They're fine, this isn't the first time they've gotten sick." Barry nodded, and we continued to play. Fifteen minutes later Danny came down helping Arin down. I got up and sat on the other side of the coffee table so Arin could sit on the couch." I'll go get Mark now." I said putting my cards down, and went upstairs. Mark was still sleeping, and I laid my body on top of his. He coughed several times, and looked up at me." You getting up, or do you have to throw up?" I asked, and he shook his head." No, don't feel like throwing up." He said, and we went downstairs. Barry said he would bring the others home, and they left. Right after they left, Mark's phone buzzed. He picked it up, and answered." Hello? Yes she is why...No I didn't get her blood type. Because it's non of your concern. What are you talking about?" He gave me the phone, and I answered. They basically told me that if I wanted to be in the world tournament, I would have to move." Can we discuss this over lunch today at around one?" I asked, and they accepted.

Mark looked upset, they had told him what I had to do." Are you thinking of doing that? Are you thinking of leaving?" He was really upset right now, almost crying. I pulled him close to me, and laid his head against my shoulder." Now you listen here, I'm not going to leave you. Not now, not ever. If they tell me I have to move, I'm going to reject. I don't care if they fire me, I'm not leaving you." I rubbed his hair between my fingers, and kissed his cheek. We sat there for a while until I had to take a shower. Mark sat outside the door as I took one, then stood when I walked out. I rubbed his cheeks, and smiled at him." Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere soon." He nodded, and I smiled at him even more. I got dressed, and Mark helped me with my flannel buttons. I then helped him with his, and my hand accidently went over his scar. He frowned a little bit, but I continued to button him up. I didn't talk about it, because I knew it hurt him. I just pushed it away, like everything that hurt. We sat down at the counter, and Mark held my hand." You sure you don't want to go? I would be fine with that." I shook my head, and rested my head against his chest." What did I tell you, I'm not leaving you." He nodded, and I saw tears weld up in his eyes. I sat up, and rubbed his cheeks." I just...keep thinking your going to leave me. Then I'll be alone." I wiped the tears out of his eyes, and looked him straight in the eyes." You and I are bonded by the hip, we can't be seperated except by surgery." He smiled, and I placed his head on my shoulder again." Can I tell you something?" He asked, and I told him yes. He took a deep breathe, and put his hand on my knee." I felt you give me mouth to mouth." My eyes went wide, and I shivered. I blushed until I was red as a tomato, and continued to shiver." You...did?" I said, and laughed nervously." It felt...weird. I'm not saying I want to kiss you or anything, it just that it was an odd expierence. You saved my life, and I thank you for it. It was just something that I was thinking about while I was unconscious." He looked me in the eyes, and I was still blushing hard." Are you asking for a kiss? To get the thought of your mind?" He was blushing now, and shook his head." No, it was just odd how that was odd."

"Mark, if you want to get it out of your system it's fine with me. We aren't really related, and I don't care about the age shit. It's just one kiss, right?" He then looked away from me, and blushed harder than me. I put my hands on his cheeks, and forced my lips against his for two seconds." There see? All better." I wiped my lips, and he did as well." I felt nothing." He said, and I nodded." Can we put that behind us now?" I asked, and he nodded." Alright, because we have to get going." I grabbed his keys before he could, and walked to his car." I want to drive." He said in a whiney tone, and I threw him the keys." You're such a baby." I said, and he laughed." Well then, you kissed a baby." I punched him, and he rubbed his shoulder. We arrived at the resturant, and the owners were waiting for us. They were about Mark's age, maybe a bit older, and all wore suits. They had out paper work as we sat down, and I looked over at them." So, will you willingly accept this offer into the world tournament?" They asked, and I held Mark's hand under the table." No, I do not accept the offer. I really appreciate it, but I enjoy living in L.A. I don't want to live anywhere else but here." Mark smiled, but the owners did not." We are sorry to hear that Ms. Thompson. We now relieve you from your tournament job." I looked them shocked, they just fired me." You're firing me because I won't take your stupid offer?" One of them nodded, and I slammed my hand on the table." That's not fair, it was an offer!"
"Life isn't fair Ms. Thompson, you just deal with it." I got up and glared at them." You said it was an offer, not a deal for my job. Isn't it against tournament laws to fire an employee for no particular reason?" They all looked at each other, and one of them checked the laws on their phone." That is correct, but we have a reason. You declined our offer to make you more famous in the tournament world."

"That's not a god damn reason, that's because you don't want to deal with me anymore. Well you don't have to anymore, I quit!" Mark and I left, and I wasn't in the mood to talk." Hey, you'll get another job. I'm sure you will get one. Isn't there another tournament place?" I nodded, but they were in Chicago." In Illinois, which I'm not moving back to. I can propable get enough from Youtubing and writing." Mark nodded, and then I thought of something." I can be a trainer for people who are too scared to sign up for classes." Mark nodded at that." I would sign up, can I?" I nodded, and he smiled." I wanna learn the bow and arrow, and some sweet kicks!" I laughed at his innocence." It's not that simple Mark, you'll need basic training first." He did a mimick of my voice, and I punched him again.

We got home, and we both made videos in the same room. Mark did a hot sauce challenge again, and I played Five Night's at Freddy's 2. I flipped out on the first night, and Mark was laughing at me." Shut up you ass, you beat all three!" He did a cross eyed look at me, and I stuck my tongue out at him. After I beat night one and two, I ended the video. Mark was making 'ech' noises as he poured milk down his throat." That must feel great!" I said, and he moved my chair over to him." Why don't you try it?" He asked moving the hot sauce over to me." I don't do spicy stuff, especially spice that will make me puke." He took a plastic fork, and dipped the tip of it into the bottle." Come on, one drop." He keep bringing it closer to my face until I grabbed it from his hand. I ran it over my tongue, and swallowed. I made the 'ech' noise as well, and felt like I was going to throw up." This is why I don't do spice Mark." He started laughing as I chugged the milk." Oh fuck that hurts, why did I actually do that?" I said slamming the milk down onto the desk, and coughing a little bit." You okay?" Mark said through laughs, and I grabbed the milk again. I drank it until it was half gone. I then took a deep breathe, and nodded to say I was okay.

An hour later, my stomach was hurting. I went into the bathroom, and puked my brains out. I heard Mark puking in his room, and shivered at the sound. I then finished, and went to his apartment." That's why I don't do fucking spice!" I shouted up the stairwell as he opend his door. He started laughing again, which turned into coughing fits. We then spended the night drinking milk and watching funny movies.

(Okay you guys cannot be mad for the kiss thing, it was something that I had to write for some reason. There will not, I repeat WILL NOT, ever be another kiss scene. Only kisses on cheeks and foreheads. No lovey dovey shit in this fanfiction.)
