Never In A Million Years (A Markiplier Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

As soon as I went into my apartment I ran to my kitchen and put my groceries away as fast as I could. I realize that this is just dinner and a movie but I looked like crap. So I straightened my hair and changes into jean shorts and a pink see-through type tank top (I don't know what the material is called and it's so hard to explain!) and black flip flops as I would just be taking them off anyway. I touched up my now smudged makeup and walk out of my apartment into his.

"Mark? I'm here!" I called out.

"Okay! I'll be down in a second, make yourself at home and hang out in the living room" He called back from upstairs.

Mark's P.O.V

I ran frantically around my house picking everything up and throwing it into the guest room closet. As I made my way to clean my room I heard the door open. Crap! I still wasn't changed! So I decided to tell her to wait and I'd be down in a second. I slipped on some jeans and my lucky red flannel. Just because I want this night to end well.

I ran downstairs and saw El looking at some old pictures that I have in a bookshelf. I walked up to her and she didn't seem to notice me because when I started talking about the picture she was looking at, she jumped a little.

"Oh I'm so sorry El I thought you saw me!" I lightly chuckled and rubbed the back of my neck. "Well um dinner's ready if you want to eat now. Oh my gosh I almost forgot!" I quickly ran to get a rose I bought a few days earlier. I may or may not have planned to ask her for a dinner a few days ago.... "Here this is for you" I said while giving her the rose.

"Wow it's beautiful!" She said while sniffing it. "Roses are my favorite flower; thank you" She smiled and gave me a hug.

'I would give you all of the roses in the world if I could' I thought as we stopped hugging. Though I may have not said that out loud because she's blushing like mad. I cleared my throat. "Um do you wanna eat?"

"Yeah" She smiled and we started walking to the table. I quickly walked to her chair and pulled it out for her before taking my seat.

******I don't think I can go a chapter without time skipping something sigh******

After we both ate a big serving of pasta, we went to the living room and decided to watch Incideous which I'm glad that she picked because I really want to cuddle with her when she gets afraid. Before the movie started I decided that it was now or never.

Eleanor's P.O.V

I felt Mark shift a little to my side and as I went to look over at him he said "So El..." Oh god he hates me. He probably can tell I like him and he's gonna tell me I'm not his type oh my god. Why else would I chose a scary movie? Like come on! I can cuddle with him if I'm scared!

"Y-yeah?" I replied hesitantly.

"I completely get it if you don't feel the same but I um I really like you....a lot. And I was wondering if maybe you'd be willing to go on an actual date with me sometime?" He said while fiddling with his thumbs and blushing. I was just sitting there blushing like mad and smiling.

"Yeah of course" I smiled and he grabbed the side of my head and kissed the top of my head. Oh my god I'm blushing the color of a tomato. I decided I couldn't get any more red so it would be worth it to scoot closer to him and lean my head on his shoulder. As I did, he put an arm around my waist.

About half way through the movie, we both changed positions quite a lot. His feet were resting on the coffee table and his legs were straight and his arms were wrapped protectively around my waist. I, however, now had my legs draped over his and my arms were wrapped around his torso and my head would be buried into his neck when I got scared.

When the movie ended, he walked me back to my apartment and kissed my cheek again. And I blushed. Again.

It was now 1:15 in the morning and I couldn't sleep. As I had found out at Mark's, his room was through the wall of mine. So I sit up in my bed and quietly knocked on the wall and whispered "Mark?"

I put my ear up to the wall and heard shuffling and a few seconds later I heard "Yeah? Are you okay?"

I smiled at our way of communication. "Yeah but I can't sleep; I'm scared"

"Are you able to walk through your apartment without getting too scared?" He asked.

"Um yeah I think so?"

"I'll be waiting at my door; take your time."

Aw that is actually really sweet. I grabbed my phone and turned on the flash light and quietly walked through my apartment, only turning on a few lights. I somehow ended up in front of Mark's door alive and I knocked quietly. He immediately answered and pulled me into a hug. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah thank you" I smiled into his chest while hugging him. We both pulled away and he grabbed my hand and lead him through his apartment and into what I assumed was a guest room he tucked me in and kissed my forehead.

"If you need me, you know where my room is" He smiled. "Goodnight El"

"Night Markimoo" I said without realizing it but he didn't seem to care I called him that. And he walked out of the room.

What felt like an eon of my tossing and turning later, I still couldn't sleep. If it did, I had a nightmare. So I walked to Mark's room but he was sleeping. I was extremely tired and I didn't want to wake him up so I just kinda crawled into the side of the bed he wasn't sleeping on. He was hogging all of the blanket so I made a stupid decision and tried to slowly grab some and that woke him up.

"El?" He asked the darkness.

"Yeah it's me..." I said shamefully. "I'm so sorry I just could sleep I kept having horrible nightmares" My voice cracked and I felt tears come into my eyes.

"Hey it's okay, I'm here now" He said calmly as he put half of the blanket over me. Before I knew it, he wrapped his arms around my waist, my arms around his, my head was resting on his chest and our legs tangled together.

Before I feel asleep I stretched my neck up and kissed his cheek. "Thank you" I whispered and his grip seemed to comfortably tighten around me. Everything felt so right just laying here in this arms.
