The next morning she woke up, in the fort, alone. Short memories i've last nights kiss replayed through her head. They had kissed for roughly 20 minutes, savouring each others tastes before playing the next film. They had both agreed they didn't want to go any further to ruin a perfect night incase they regretted it, and would leave the next step for another time. She had now awoke to Steven in the kitchen, slightly pacing as he was mumbling to himself.

"Steven?" She called out softly as his head snapped towards her.

"Oh morning love, how'd you sleep. I know it was the floor but still." He asked flustered.

"Eh I think i lay on you for the majority of the night so it's fine." She giggled as he chuckled slightly.

"Are you okay? You seemed stressed a minute ago." She asked cautiously, not to invade his privacy.

"Oh that uhm..." He stuttered, obviously trying to think of an excuse.

"You can be honest with me Steven." She smiled calmly as she stood up, walking over to him and throwing her arms around his neck.

"I-It's just... no i'm sorry i can't drag you into it, Marc would be pissed." He facepalmed.

"Hm Marc?"

"Oh Marc... yeah he's a uhm friend?" He tried to lie however it came out more like a question.

"If you don't want to tell me Steven it's fine." She smiled as she leaned up to peck him on the cheek, making him blush like crazy.

"I do want to tell you, i really do! You won't believe me though... look i've gotta go in an hour, Marc seems really mad and he needs to do something apparently." Steven smiled sadly.

"Could I come?"

"I wouldn't want you to. WAIT! No i don't mean it like that! I'd love for you to come! That sounds creepy now. I'd wish you could come but you can't-" Steven rambled on before Y/N shut him up with a kiss.

"One way to calm you down i believe." She laughed as he looked down in embarrassment.

"Right you are there."

"Look how complicated could it be?"

"Very."

"Try me then." She smiled smugly.

"I'm not sure how to start..." He facepalmed as Y/N led the two of them to the sofa, placing her hand above his for encouragement.

"Just go slowly."

"Alright so... I have a problem, an illness if you will. When i went to Egypt, did you see the news on that?"

"No i don't really watch the news, why?" She asked cautiously before pulling out her phone and searching up Egypt.

"Oh my- Steven did you get hit during this."

"Well yeah you see... the guy in white?"

"Yeah he keeps changing between two outfits in the click of the finger, how the fuck?"

"You see the one in the formal suit?"

"Yeah one of the outfits he changed into."

"That's me..." He said slowly as Y/N began to laugh. However she slowly stopped once she realised Stevens face was dead serious.

"So you went to Egypt, to fight a giant Crocodile and old wizard?" She stated.

"Yep." He sighed.

"How are you switching outfits?" She asked dumbfounded, still in disbelief.

"Well that's the confusing bit... i have two people in my body..." He said slowly, trying to make sense of it.

"Like dissociative identity disorder?"

"Kind of but, yeah i don't know, I'm Steven Grant but i'm not like the origin of the body."

"Oh, so who is?"

"Marc Spector." Steven said as he glanced towards the mirror.

"Is that why you look at the mirror, can you speak to him in reflections?" Y/N asked with a sudden interest.

"Yeah I can, i'm scared to say this but would you wanna speak to him? We have different accents by the way, that's how you can tell the difference I guess." Steven asked carefully.

"Sure that'd be interesting." She smiled, preparing herself as she noticed a sudden change in his facial features. The usual soft features becoming slightly more dangerous looking. She could immediately tell she'd always find Steven the cutest one but Marc may be the hottest alter.

"Steven took you fucking long enough." A deeper, American accent praised.

"It's Marc then right?" She asked cautiously, noticing her hand was still upon his.

"Yep, and lord does Steven not lie about you. Sorry that sounds way too straight forward." He chuckled.

"Ah so he speaks about me?"

"All the time, he's head over heels for you. Don't deny it Steven you know i'm right." He said facing the mirror as if he was arguing with Steven.

"So are there anymore... alters in your body?"

"I mean, we believe there's one more but we're not too sure, he's dangerous though, killed loads of people when me and Steven couldn't." Marc admitted.

"Well he seems like a... interesting character." Y/N laughed as Marc admired her features, and not being able to help but follow her laughter.

"Listen this is gonna sound forward but, since i'm kind of like a different person... I was going to ask if I could take you on a first date with me? And i've spoke to Steven and he's happy with it." He asked confidently, however she didn't let pass his little hand twitches, hinting his nervousness.

"I mean, very quick but i'd love to Marc." Y/N smiled as a flash of relief took over Marc's face.

"Perfect! I-I mean uhm..." He blushed as he became even more nervous by the second due to the girls attention.

"What time Spector?" She laughed.

"I'll pick you up 8pm tonight." He winked as he dramatically left the flat, leaving Y/N in a fit of laughter.
