Steven POV

Later that night it was decided Y/n would stay at my flat for a week until her apartment would be ready. I layed my head on Y/n's lap while she was sitting on my bed, she asked me a question.

"Why did you name your fish Gus 2.0 and Mercy?" She questioned. "Well the first Gus...uh... he is no longer with us." I said awkwardly. "And Mercy is... well I just liked the name." I said looking into the reflection of the fish tank.

"You know I named her Mercenary, We just call her Mercy for short." Marc said through the reflection. I rolled my eyes and asked Y/n a question.

"Do you have any pets?" I asked. "Oh I have an old dog but he lives back with my parents in New York." She replied in a sad tone. "Do you miss them....your family?" I asked. "Ya, I call them all the time but I still miss seeing them in person." She said looking down at me with a sweet smile. "I miss doing karaoke with my friends and family on the weekends." She said with a small sigh. A couple seconds went by in silence as I could tell she missed some of her hometown traditions.

"Well who said we can't do karaoke here?" I said sitting up with a smile. "Really!?" She asked with a wide smile spreading across her face. "Ya!" I said looking into her beautiful eyes.

Y/n POV
10 min later

"🎵Red lights stop signs I still see your face in the white cars, front yards can't drive past the places we used to go to🎵"- we sang laughing through the whole song. After the song was over we sang-

Blank Space-Taylor Swift
Blinding lights-The Weekend
The Way I Am-Charlie Puth

After we were finished singing we sat on the floor sitting across from each other. "Thank you." I said. "For what?" He asked. "For....everything you have been so kind to me ever since I met you." I said blushing while looking down. "I feel like I can tell you anything, and you always know exactly what to say or do to make me feel better." I said.

"Can I be honest Y/n?" He said taking my hands and holding them in his. "I feel the same way when I'm with you." He said. As he leaned in and kissed my cheek.

"Well I am knackered." He said before standing up and helping me up with him. "Im pretty tired too." I said as a yawn slipped out of my mouth. "We should probably get some sleep." He suggested as he put extra pillows on the bed.

"Hopefully there are enough pillows for you I don't have many extras." He said. "I'm sure I'll be fine." I said with a small smile.

"Wait why am I sleeping on the bed?" I asked after realizing what he had said. "You are the guest you get the bed." He said simply. "But-" I said before he cut me off. "Don't even try to persuade me, I'm fine with sleeping on the couch. "Are you sure?" I asked. "Yes." He said.

Well at least take a pillow or two. I said while handing him two pillows. "Ok." he said smiling at me.

"Goodnight Y/n." He said rapped up in blankets on the couch. "Goodnight Steven." I said.

Soon after we both fell asleep.

The Next Morning
I woke up to a big thud on the floor. "Steven!" I said slightly started as I sat up quickly on his bed. "I'm....I'm alright." he said as he slowly stood up from the floor.

"Oh my God...Are you sure?" I said rushing over to help him up. "Ya." He said.
"What happened?" I asked him. "I stumbled over something on the floor, but I'm alright." He said sitting down at the table.

"My apologies for waking you Y/n." He said sincerely. "Oh it's fine." I said sitting next to him at the table.

"Do you have anything planned to do today?" He asked. "No, I don't think so." I said. "Fancy going back to the lake?" He asked smiling. "Ya! That sounds great." I replied as we both stood up with. "Good." He said as he walked to his kitchen. "Would you like some beans on toast?" He asked. "Ya...what if we took the food to the pond and ate there?" I said. "Like a picnic?" He asked. "Ya." I said as I went to the bathroom to go change into my clothes. That's a wonderful idea Y/n.

5 min later

I walked out of the bathroom with my hair damp because I took a shower, I wore a sunflower dress because it was some of the last days of summer and I hadn't worn it yet. "Wow Y/n you...you look gorgeous!" Steven said as his jaw hung open.  "Thanks Steven." I said as I blushed. "Are you ready to go? I finished packing the basket." He said standing up showing me the basket. "Yep I'm ready." I said.

15 min later

"Here we are." Steven said as we stared at the bench next to the pond. The leaves were more yellow than they were the last time it was getting to the beginning of September and the air began to get cooler every day.

We sat down on the ground next to the bench with a blanket under us and toast with beans on it in front of us as we ate and talked.

"Y/n you really look absolutely beautiful today." Steven said with a smile. "Sure I do." I said sarcastically. "You really do." He said taking my hands.

"Steven, I have more scars on my body than friends." I said looking down at are hands. Well your skin without scars would be like the sky without stars. He said.

The words he said were beautiful poetic almost.

As we looked into each other's eyes the birds chirped beautiful songs. I wish I had the spirit of a bird, they are always happy and singing beautifully. I said looking into the reflection on the pond.

Well birds still sing beautifully when there sad. He said as he rapped his arm around my waist and I rested my head on his shoulder.

"I...I feel like I can trust you with anything Steven." I said looking up at him. "Me....me to that is why I actually wanted to bring you here."he said moving so he was sitting In front of me.

I know this is going to sound bonkers, but remember when we went to that coffee shop and I told you about my sleeping disorder?" He said. "Ya?" I said wondering what he was going to reveal to me. Well I don't actually have a sleeping disorder....well I don't think I do. He said questioning himself.

"Anyways I don't have a sleeping disorder I have....Well I have a personality disorder." He said looking at me worriedly. "Huh?" I said slightly confused. So there is me, Steven and then there's Marc. He said twiddling with his fingers (which was really cute.)

"So there's two of you?" I asked. "W-well I guess you could say that." He said looking down. "I get it if you are uncomfortable, I-I just feel like I can tell you anything." He frowned. "Can I meet him?" I asked tilting his head to look up at me. "Oh..erm ya." he said.

"Does he just come out or-" I said before I was cut off. "Hey it's not so nice to meet you." He said. "I'm Marc." His voice sounded like a different person like when I saw Steven at the store. "Hi Marc." I said. "Look let's get things straight if you break Steven's heart I will break your neck, got it." He threatened.
"Oh.. yes sir?" I answered.

"Oh my God sorry about him Y/n!" Steven said as he took control of the body. "He is not really a people person, well neither am I. I guess we are alike in that aspect."

I looked at Steven and hugged him. "Wow you smell like a really wonderful dream." He giggled as he hugged back. "I didn't mean that in a creepy way."  "Thank you for trusting me." I gulped as I let go of him. 

We finished our picnic on the cool August morning and went on with our day.
