When Purple Marker came back, he was carrying a ton of pillows, blankets, that kind of stuff. He dropped them on the floor, collapsing on them like he was out of breath, which.. I guess it could've been heavy, so, whatever.

"What.. are you doing? What is this for??" Dark Markery questioned the other, which made him immediately get back up, going from seemingly exhausted to energetic within less than a second.

"We are gonna be making a HUGE PILLOW FORTRESS!!" he exclaimed, starting to set up some things before Dark Markery started laughing.

"A fortress, out of just pillows and blankets?" He said a bit sarcastically, causing the more energetic marker to seem a bit disappointed. "If we add some solid support structures instead of relying on just the soft stuff, it'll be indestructible!" He followed up with, causing the disappointment to fade into determination, watching his roommate grab things that would be good for holding things up.

"THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST PILLOW FORTRESS IN THE WORLD!" Purple Marker yelled quite loudly, the two of them working on the giant fortress they were planning.

The two kept putting down pillows and adding supports, using Duct Tape to secure basically everything that touched together. After 30 minutes of hard work, the interior was done, covering almost the entirety of the living room, though it was a bit empty. The two quickly took note of this without even needing to exchange any words, quickly setting up some areas with pillow furniture, a pillow tv, all the works. It didn't function, obviously, because they were pillows, but it was funny to have.

At this point, Dark Markery's worries were completely faded, focused on the fortress that covered the living room. He saw Purple Marker walk into the kitchen, grabbing some water bottles and some snack foods.

..What was he planning this time?

He seemed to set up a small little watch area on his phone, as the TV was completely covered up, putting on some Youtube videos as he ate some of the snacks.

Dark Markery watched along too, not grabbing anything. He felt his roommate look over at him, turning his head towards him to see what he wanted.

"I bet I can chug a bottle of water faster than you." He challenged, giving the other a small smirk as he watched Dark Markery immediately grab the nearest bottle of water.

"Fucking bet." He replied, opening his water bottle with a competitive glare.

"Alright, 3, 2, 1... Go!!" Purple Marker counted down, secretly giving Dark Markery a headstart intentionally to make sure he'd win.

Once he chugged the entire bottle, he crushed it and threw it at one of the soft walls, bragging about how good he is at challenges.

Purple Marker just chuckled, seeing how enthusiastic his roommate was about chugging a bottle of water, seemingly having a slight blush on his face that went unnoticed by the both of them.

"..Wait." Dark Markery processed what just happened, looking over at the crushed bottle in the corner of the fort before glaring at Purple. "YOU FUCKING TRICKED ME!"

"IT WAS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD I SWEAR" Purple yelled, starting a small fight over if challenging your friend with an eating disorder to drink water is considered bad. (Spoiler alert, Purple 100% won that argument, because I'm too lazy to write it.)

After losing, Dark Markery just stormed off to his room, screaming in his pillow. He obviously wasn't upset over the trick, or anything, he even thought it was kinda clever. He just.. the stress from fighting, no matter how small, can really overwhelm an object, so he just needed a break to calm down from the overstimulation.

In the meantime, Purple went to take down their fortress. While it was fun to have, it was kind of impractical. It was hard to get out, plus there was no form of entertainment other than one of their phones, so it's better for it to be taken down.

Once it was all taken down, DM came back out, seeing the living room back to normal again.

"Aw man, the fortress is done already?" He asked, trying to hide the genuine disappointment in his voice by putting on a more joking tone.

"Yeaahh, it was kinda hard to move around with all of it.. It's fine, though!! We had fun and that's all that matters!!" Marker answered him, his voice coming from the kitchen.

Right, dinner time. Dark Markery didn't really want to eat anything, sighing as he sat down on the couch, knowing damn well he's not really gonna have a choice in the matter.

Purple Marker came out with 2 plates of.. pancakes...?? You know what, why even question anything at this point? Pancakes for dinner, get used to it.

Dark Markery stared at it for a while, trying to figure out how much he could eat so that he wouldn't feel absolutely miserable and enough to make his crush happy.

He decided, out of the 4 pancakes he had, he would eat at least 1 full one, and try to eat as much as the second one as he could before feeling sick. So, that's exactly what he did, and the smile on Purple's face when he noticed he was eating unprompted flustered the darker marker.

Purple finished up all of his pancakes as Dark Markery finished up almost half of the second one. Despite the fact he didn't eat as much as he'd like to call "progress," he still felt proud of himself for being able to still eat, especially with how happy it made Purple.

Purple silently took his plate when he noticed he was finished, getting rid of the extra food and placing the dishes in the sink for later. He sat up right next to Dark Markery, wrapping his arm around the other's body, causing the both of them to blush as they just enjoyed being around each other.

Unfortunately, Purple Marker got tired, which led to him going to bed a bit earlier than usual. That's okay though.

Dark Markery went to his room, huddling up on his bed, daydreaming about the future he wanted him and Purple as he slowly drifted to sleep, dreaming about being with him forever.
