Markiplier X Reader

Chapter 24

Our noses were touching, his brown eyes were staring into my e/c ones. There was a bit of mischief in them but they also very caring. His thumb was gently rubbing my cheek. I noticed that Mark had moved me on to his lap. My hands were on his chest, lightly clutching his red flannel shirt. I leaned up, my lips meeting his soft ones. The hand on my back traveled to my waist. The kiss was short and sweet but it was enough for Mark to have his answer. When I pulled away, my lips tingled a little and Mark wore this tiny, sweet smile. When I realized what I did, my cheeks heated up and I buried my face into his chest, hiding my red face. His chest rumbled as he let out a chuckle.

"You're so cute y/n." He said as he held my waist. I felt like I was being hugged by a teddy bear. We sat there for a while, Mark holding me and rubbing my back, me snuggling closer to him, when I remembered something. I let out a small chuckle. Mark pulled away and looked at me with curiosity.

"What's so funny dear?" I wore a smirk and poked his chest.

"You have to get up early and drive Lauren to school tomorrow." I said in a bit of a sing-song voice. I then giggled when Mark let out a groan. He then buried his face in the crook of my neck, his breath tickling my skin and it sent a shiver down my spine.

"I don't wanna." He whined jokingly, but he seemed to notice the second shiver.

"Wait, do you like this?" He asked quietly. His breath and voice sending causing me to shudder, the whole time I was biting my lip, trying to keep any sound from escaping. I felt him smirk before blowing air on my neck. My body jolted and I tightly clutched his shirt as I let out a short gasp.

"M-Mark, pl-please stop." I stuttered out. He pulled away and gave my cheek a kiss.

"I'm sorry. It's just so cute. I'll stop though." I let out a sigh.

"Thank you Markimoo."

"It's always adorable when you call me that." I saw the time and frowned.

10:12

I got up and stretched.

"I got to get going Mark. I'll see you tomorrow." Mark got up and gave me a hug.

"Be safe." He whispered before placing a kiss on my forehead.

"I will. You too." We pulled away and I left for my car. I then soon made it home and once inside my apartment, I changed and went to bed.

I woke up to the blaring of my alarm clock at 6:02. I turned the alarm off and let out a sigh. I rolled over to one side to try to stay more comfortable, only to fall off of my bed.

"Oof." I let out a groan as I sat up and held my head.

"Well, that's one way of waking up." I stood up and stretched before going to my closet to get dressed. I noticed it was 6:10 when i finished so I decided to call Mark, to see if he was awake. After three rings, a very tired, groggy, and deep voice answered.

"W-what?"

"Mark, wake up. You have to take Lauren to school today." He let out a yawn and I heard movement, most likely him getting out of bed.

"5 more minutes." He whined.

"I gave you 10. Hey, once you drop her off, you can either go back to sleep or get some videos recorded."

"True. I'll talk to you later."

"Ok. Bye Markimoo."

"Bye dear." When I hung up the phone, my cheeks were red. I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Dear? He called me dear. I swear, that man is a lovable dork. I hope Lauren will be ok at school today. I hope she'll be safe as well.

Once I was all ready, I drove to the library. Work was slow again but it was still tolerable. When my shift was over, I got a call from Mark.

"What's up?" I asked as I walked to my car.

"Lauren got home early and she needs you. Now." His voice was serious but it also seemed a little sad or was it something else?

I don't have time to analyze his tone. Lauren needs me, now. I need to get to her as fast as I can without breaking any laws............or at least not get caught.

I swiftly got into my car and started it up.

"I'm on my way." I then chucked my phone in the back seat as I drove to Mark's place as fast as I could. My heart was pounding so hard and fast, I felt my ribs aching. My mind was a mess as well as I went from one thought to the next within less than a second. I finally made it and I parked my car, ran to Mark's door and waited for him to open it. When he finally did, my ears rang with the painful noise of a loved one crying. Mark's face was heartbroken and I began to feel sick seeing someone who is almost always smiling, laughing, or just happy be this sad and heartbroken. I sped walked to Lauren's door and knocked on it.

"Lauren, dear it's me." Before I could say anymore, her door swung open and she tackled me into a hug but not a happy one. This was a comfort and protection hug. She held my shirt tightly as her frame was shaking from crying. I pulled away and gently held her face. Her left cheek was bruised and so were her wrists. I pulled her close to me and held her tightly.

"Lauren, dear what happened?"

"They-they-they....." She couldn't get her words out.

"Shhh. It's ok. We'll talk later."

"Mommy." Her voice cracked and it was so quiet. Mark came over rand wrapped his arms protectively around us. I could tell he was trying not to cry himself. I began to feel sick seeing my loved ones in this state. There was also something else. I began to feel a little angry that someone caused all of this.

Someone hurt my family. No one does that without me getting involved.
