You're Beautiful To Me (A Markiplier fanfic)

Chapter Four: A Secret Uncovered

I woke up as the sun shone directly through my window, partially blinding me. I started to shift when I realized I wasn't alone. Mark was still here. With his arm around me. Sleeping soundly. And he was still completely SHIRTLESS. I felt a huge smile form and my cheeks felt blazing hot as I relaxed and tried to enjoy the moment. I felt like I was dreaming, but I was so happy it was real. I suddenly felt Mark shift his position under me and I looked up to see him looking down at me with a sleepy smile.

"Good morning." he said in a raspy, sleepy voice. Sweet Lord it was so hot.

"Good morning to you too." I said with a giggle. I could feel my blush get deeper and I scurried to go use the bathroom before he could see.

Marks POV

I woke up to find Dakota still laying on my bare chest with my arm still wrapped around her. God, she was so gorgeous. I looked down at her and we exchanged 'good mornings'. I noticed her face turn bright pink and suddenly she bolted out of bed. I guess to use the bathroom. My mind went back to last night. Hearing her scream, seeing how scared she was when I woke her up. And how she relaxed almost instantly when she curled up against me. I want to keep her safe. She's different from the other fangirls I've met. She's not crazy and all over me. I like that about her. I decided to get up and make us some breakfast. I also took the liberty of filling Jazmin's food bowl for her. I should help 'Kota out a little. She deserves it. I thought to myself. I liked that... 'Kota. That's what she'll be to me.

Dakotas POV

After I did my business I checked to make sure Mark wouldn't see me come back in. I saw that he was in the kitchen making breakfast and I bolted into my room and locked the door so I could change. I needed to cover up so he wouldn't see. I put on some random underwear and decided to wear my favorite All Time Low sweater which fit my curves perfectly. Along with some light blue skinny jeans and black Converse. I stepped out of my closet when I heard a knock at my door.

Knock knock "Dakota are you alright?" I heard Mark ask.

"Yeah I'm alright, just getting dressed."

"Okay. I made some bacon and eggs for us." Aww that was sweet of him. I skipped over and opened the door to find his perfect face right on the other side.

"That sounds delicious." I said. And I gave him a hug, which he returned without hesitation. Resting his cheek on my head. It felt amazing in his arms. I felt safe, and loved. I quickly backed away blushing hard at the idea and then ducked around him and into the kitchen. We sat down and ate the bacon and eggs Mark made. I also thanked him for feeding Jazmin as well. I noticed one of my sleeves riding up and I tried my best to casually readjust it. I wasn't sure if he noticed it, but I prayed that he didn't. If he finds out about that part of my past he might think of me different. He won't like me or even love me... wait, what? I mentally slapped myself. There was no way he could love me... Could he?

We finished breakfast and we decided to go for a walk with Jazmin. She needed to go potty anyways. So Mark went over to his place to change. When he came back he was wearing a plain black t-shirt with his signature red M and a pair of blue jeans and some blacked out Vans. We grabbed Jaz's leash and off we went.

After we walked around we came back and Mark had to go record for his channel. I was a little sad because I didn't want to be alone right now. Lest the thoughts and nightmares come back to haunt me. I think he noticed when I started to get anxious because he invited me to come and watch him. "If you want to you can come and watch me. You've gotta stay quiet though." I looked up at him and smiled widely. Jumping into his arms. He caught me and held me close. Finally he set me down and I giggled when I noticed his face turning pink.
