Stay With Me (Markimash)

Chapter Two: Excited and Confused

Mark's POV

I woke up around ten, and grinned when I remembered that Yami would be here tomorrow! One more day, and then I'll get to see him! I got out of bed of changed clothes, slipping on my shoes and heading to the kitchen. I fixed myself some scrambled eggs and bacon, and poured myself some water. I ate slowly, trying to prolong the inevitable. I have never really liked grocery shopping, at least when I'm by myself I don't. If someone else is there, then it's fun! Let's see, I need a pen and some paper. I tore a sheet of paper out of the notebook I leave in the kitchen and grabbed the nearby pen, clicking it so I could use it.

Okay, I need to do some shopping! I looked through my nearly empty pantry and made a list of everything Yami and I would need for a while. Ok, it's nearly noon now, if I hurry up and get the groceries quickly, I can be back in time to record one more video for my fans, and then I'll be done for today! I had really wanted to tell the fans about Yami coming over, but I figured that he'd want to know about it first. Maybe when he comes over we can do a vlog together! Oh my gosh I'm a genius! Alright, focus Mark! I got in my car and drove to the local grocery store, an idiotic grin on my face. I found a parking space quickly and parked. I got out of my car and locked it, putting the keys in my pocket.

I walked inside and grabbed a buggy, going all the way to the back of the store first. I grabbed the snacks we would need and picked up some candy while I was there for Halloween. Speaking of Halloween, Yami and I should have a marathon of scary movies! I picked up some scary movies from the movie bin and headed towards the real food. I was getting bread when I heard a woman ask, "Excuse me, but would you happen to be Mawk?" I turned around and saw a somewhat familiar looking woman standing there, a bright smile on her face. "Yes, I am Mark." I answered, smiling back at the woman. Her smile got even wider and she said, "Wow, I can't believe I'm seeing you again! The last time I saw you at PAX, you were so different looking then!"

Somewhere in my head a lightbulb went off and I said, "Melody, is that you?" She grinned and said in a sing-song voice, "The one and only Magnificent Melody!" We talked as we got groceries, and before I knew it I was checking out. "Well Mawk, it's been great seeing you again, but I have to go home." She turned to walk away and I stopped her on impulse, pulling out a scrap of paper and a pen and writing my number down. "Here, in case you ever want to talk again." I explained, handing her the paper. She took it and sent me a quick text, and then she left. I walked out to my car and loaded up all the groceries, feeling that familiar sense of excitement I always felt when I thought of Yami.

I shut the trunk and got in the car, then dug around for my key. Ah, there it is! I cranked the car up and drove home, not even minding the bad traffic for once. I got home and began the arduous process of bringing in groceries, which took me nearly ten minutes to do since I was by myself. Well, next time I get groceries Yami can come along and help me, then it won't take near as long! Jesus Christ, I had spent over two hours getting groceries! I ran up to my room and sat down in front of the computer, contemplating on what to play. I know, I'll do a fan game! I pulled up a game someone had sent and set everything up, and began recording. "Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and welcome to Youtube High School! This is a fan made game made by M. Seriously, that's all I know. Look at the credits, everything's by M! Who the hell is M?" I ranted, starting up the game.

One hour later...

"Okay guys, that was YouTube High School! I really liked it, it was fun being able to pick from all the Youtubers! Alright, I'll see you in the next video, bye bye!" I said, stopping the recording. I edited it for a few hours then uploaded it. I'm starving! I made myself a some supper and ate quickly, ready to shower and sleep. I showered and washed my hair, humming a song I'd heard on the radio. I got out the shower and dried off, then walked into my room and got dressed for bed. I fell into bed and set my alarm for ten o'clock, then fell into a dreamless sleep.

Yami's POV

Ugh, what time is it? I glanced at my clock and sighed when I saw that it was only six in the morning. Good, I still had two hours until the plane left. I yawned and stumbled out of bed, staggering to the bathroom to get ready. I brushed my teeth and washed my face, then contemplated shaving. It hadn't been too long since I last shaved, so I decided my little beard could stay for now. I shambled into the kitchen and made myself a quick breakfast of eggs and toast. I fixed myself some tea and sipped at the hot beverage, enjoying the warmth it provided. I wonder if it's cold like this in L.A.? Probably not, California is pretty warm, even in October. That reminds me, I have to see if Mark does anything for Halloween! We could play an extra scary game for Halloween, or maybe watch some scary movies!

Yeah, and then you can use the scary movies as an excuse to cuddle with Mark! Shut up brain, I don't like Mark! I don't like Mark, do I? I sighed and washed my plate quickly, drying it and putting it back up in the cabinet. Ok, it was six thirty-four now, it would take me a half hour to get to the airport, and who knows long to get through security, so I better leave now. I grabbed my bags and called Shane, who was going to give me a ride to the airport. He was over in ten minutes, and he helped me get my bags into his car. I gave him the condensed version of what had happened between Jess and I, leaving out the weird thoughts I'd had about Mark. "Jesus Aaron, are you sure you aren't moving?" Shane asked, gesturing at all my bags. "No, just don't know how long I'll be away for, and I wanted to be prepared." I replied. Shane laughed and said, "Well, if you do move you'll only have your furniture left!" I laughed with him and we buckled up and Shane began driving.

I stared out the car window, feeling the excitement building. Oh man, I was so ready to see Mark! Shane looked over at me and chuckled at me, giving me a knowing look. "Why are you laughing at me?" I asked, glancing over at him. Shane smirked and said, "The last time you were this excited was when you were going to meet Jess, so I was just wondering who the lucky lady was." I felt my cheeks heat up and I stammered, "I-I'm not g-going to meet anybody f-for something like that!" Shane smirked and drawled, "Riiiiiiight. Suuuuure you aren't." I huffed and looked back out the window, determined to not let Shane get to me. Shane just laughed and asked, "So, are you excited to see Mawk?" I smiled and replied, "Yeah, really excited! I'm just worried I might be imposing on him. I mean, I don't want to be a bother to him, I know he's busy all the time and I don't want to waste his time."

Shane sighed and shook his head, and I asked, "What? What's the head shake and sigh for?" Shane pulled up to the airport parking lot and said, "Alright, we're here, so let's get you and your bags onto that plane!" He completely avoided my question! I rolled my eyes and got out the car, getting my bags from the trunk. Shane walked in with me and waited while I checked everything in and went through security. It took nearly an hour, but I checked my watch and saw that I had five minutes until they called for my plane. I sat by Shane and let my mind wander, thinking of all the stuff Mark and I would do over the next few weeks. Suddenly, Shane shook my shoulder and said, "Aaron, they called for your flight man." I smiled and said, "Thanks mate, I'll see you in a few weeks!"

I grabbed my bags and made my way over to the gate, and handed the lady my ticket. She wished me a good flight and I boarded the plane. I sat next to the window and sighed, looking out at London one last time. The plane took off and I watched the airport get farther and farther away until I could no longer see it. Well, I had a twelve hour flight ahead of me, might as well take a nap. I got comfortable in my chair and soon fell asleep.

Mark's POV

Aw yeah! Today was the day Yami could get here! I grinned as I hopped out of bed and shut off my alarm, itching to get to the airport already. I got dressed in my black Markiplier shirt and blue jeans, then slipped on my shoes and headed downstairs. I made myself a quick breakfast and scarfed it down, ready to see Yami. I couldn't stop the goofy smile that stretched across my face at the thought of Yami. I couldn't help it, he was just so cute! I shook my head and grabbed my keys, trying to clear my head of thoughts like that. I went outside and hopped in my car, and drove to the airport. Man, I can't wait to see Yami again...
