I woke up to Mark's arms around my waist and his body pressed against my back like we're spooning.

  This caught me off guard but I didn't flinch or jump. I look behind me to see Mark's face close to mine, my hair a bit in his face. He hums and snuggling his face against my neck. I look in front of me and let out a relaxing breath. Suddenly, I felt his lips pressed against the crook of my neck close to my shoulders. I froze, blinking a couple of times before slowly sliding away from him.

 I got up and slowly made my way downstairs, making sure I didn't wake up Mark. I cooked up a quick breakfast plate for him and myself. After 20 minutes, I gather the plates of breakfast and went back upstairs to wake him up with Breakfast in bed.

I put the plates down on the dresser and went downstairs to grab the coffees. I walk back upstairs and fan the brew steamed coffee toward Mark's directions. Mark hummed, fluttering his eyes open and smiled sleepily at me. I smile back as he sat up slowly, stretching his arms.

"Morning," I greeted him, handing his coffee.

"Mmm," he sip his coffee, looking at me as I handed him his plate of breakfast. "Breakfast in bed? Thank you, what's the occasion?" he picked up his fork.

I sat next to him with my plate and my coffee which was on his end table. "Nothing, just figured it'd be nice to have breakfast in bed. Don't people like that?" I chew my food, looking over at him.

He nodded, looking at me. "Yes, they do. I just didn't think I would be getting this treatment,"

I scoot closer to him in bed, "Well, you are. Enjoy it," I chewed my food as his phone dings a couple of times. He sighed, looking over at me.

"Thank you, for making me breakfast in bed. You are wife material," he nudged his shoulder with mine.

I giggle, shaking my head. "Shut up and eat,"

Mark recorded some videos while I worked out on his treadmill.

When he was done, he caught me jogging and went to the fridge. He grabbed a water bottle and walked over to me. Holding it out, I take it and slowed down my pace as I opened the water bottle. I chugged it and let out a breath. I stopped the machine and wiped the sweat off my forehead and neck.

"You keep yourself in shape," Mark noticed as I chug water again.

I looked at him, chuckling. "I guess. Do you want to do something today?"

Mark shrugged, "Depending what you want to do. Do you want to go out shopping or something else?"

I nudged him playfully and ruffle his hair. "Let's go out to the park, we'll drive by Toby's place, grab my dogs and then we'll drive to the playground or a big park and ...and just walk," I said to him.

He nodded slowly, "Okay, I could do that,"

Excited, I pulled him into a sweaty hug and kissed his cheek. He made a face and wiped his cheek.

"Gross! You're sweaty!" he exclaimed.

I laughed, walking upstairs. My legs cry with pain. I stumbled back a little but Mark caught me. He chuckled, helping me up the stairs. I took a quick shower and got changed quickly while Mark waited downstairs since he got dressed while I was in the bathroom.

----------------------------------  

Gabumon still wasn't used to Mark but that didn't stop Mark from trying. Mark hung around with Pikachu more while Gabumon kept to my side.

Mark and I walked side by side, chit chatting as the dogs ran around and walked in front of us.

"Gabumon doesn't seem to like me as much," Mark looked at me, "I've met him yesterday and he doesn't like me at all," he frowns.

I moved closer to him, putting an arm over his shoulder and smiled softly. "Don't worry, more he sees us get closer to each other, the more he'll think you're not a threat," I ruffle his hair.

Mark nodded and pull me close to him. His hand resting against my hip.

   Mark and I played with my dogs before heading back to Toby to drop off the dogs. We then drove back home and I cooked us a good meal. He played his video games while I cooked. By the time I finished dinner, he was frustrated with his game and taking a breather. I set up the table and placed the plate of food down. When he came downstairs, he smiled big at the presentation and took a seat right away.

"Wow, thank you," Mark looked at me.

I smiled back at him, "You're very welcome, Itadakimasu!" I took a seat and clapped my hand together.

He laughed, clapping his hand together too. "What did you just say?"

I picked up my fork and looked at him, "Time to eat in Japanese," I stabbed my food and started eating.

He chuckle, "Amazing. How many languages do you know?"

"Only 5," I said to him.

He stared at me, "ONLY 5!? You say it like it's a sad thing!" He shook his head, "What languages?"

"Well, English, French, Spanish, Japanese and German. I'm going to try to see if I could learn Korean or Swedish here," I told him, swallowing my food.

He nodded, "What else?"

I looked at him, "What else is there need to know about me?"

"Yes, tell me something no one knows," he chewed his food, swallowing.

I paused, "Hmmm, I was homeless for 3 months before my older brother decided to take me in,"

Mark blinked, "You were homeless? Wade and Bob don't know that about you?"

I nodded, "Why bother to tell someone I've been on the streets for three months when other have been there for years? Nobody from Youtube know this small part of my life but you and my family,"

Mark ate his meal, going quiet as I ate.

----------------------------------  

"Hey," Mark walked into the bedroom.

I looked up at him and scoot over on his bed. "Hi, you going to bed?" I saved my editing and exit.

Mark paused, "You don't mind, do you?"

I shook my head, "Nope. Perfectly normal for me to share a bed with someone. I'm actually used to it so it's weird if I sleep on my own. Either I have my dogs around or a roommate," I told him as he walked over to the right side of the bed.

"Alright, it's different for me. I'm not used to having a woman sleep with me, especially a woman I just met like...3 days ago," he tells me, getting in bed.

I nodded, "I know it's weird but we both know couches suck to sleep on and sleeping on the floor is a horrible options," I looked over at him.

He tucked himself in and looked at what I was doing on my laptop which was checking out Steam. "After knowing that you lived on the streets for 3 months, I think sleeping on the floor is not an option," he turned to me and watched me look through feedbacks of Never Alone. "Why did you only tell me?"

I shrugged, "You wanted to know what I never told anybody. I did a draw my life video and I hardly said anything about it. I didn't even put it in there because hell, it's 3 months. I realize that 3 months being hungry and cold and...and alone wasn't compared to the thousands of homeless people out there for years." I purse my lips, "Anyways, I'm happy my older brother track down to find me. If it wasn't for him, I would still be on the street and not doing YouTube,"

Mark places a hand on my arm. "I'm happy you're not on the streets,"

I smile, ruffling his hair and set my laptop aside, shutting it down. "I'll shut off the lights," I said, getting up.

His fingertips touches my side and waist. I felt a small shiver but ignored it. I walk over to the bedroom door and closed the lights. I crawl into bed with him and moved the blanket over my body. 

If you're with me, then everything's alright. ))Markiplier love story((Where stories live. Discover now
