Random Imagines

Comfort Buddy-Marcus Baker

A/n: I haven't written about Marcus yet and he became one of my favorite characters from the show. I always seem to fall for the misunderstood characters. Does anyone else have that problem or is it just me.

TW: this does have the topic of depression in it, but I don't talk much about it. I thought I would just warn you guys in case.

Your POV

I haven't seen my best friend in over two weeks. He hasn't been at school which is making me worry a little because it's happened before. I tried calling him but he wasn't answering my calls. I sighed and left my room. " Hey mom, I'm gonna go across the street to the Bakers."

She just nodded since she was on the phone probably talking to our next door neighbor Georgia, which doesn't make sense to me cause she could just go over there. I left out the front door and I walked the short walk across the road to the Bakers. I knocked on the door, soon I saw Ellen open it.

" Hi Ellen" I said

" Y/n, hello...what can I do for you?" She asked

" I was just wondering if Marcus was okay?" I questioned

" Come in, you can go see him." She said moving out of the way so I could walk in. I walked in and signed 'Hi' to George and headed upstairs. I passed Max's room and heard her friends with her, but I just walked past to Marcus's room. I knocked on his door frame. He looked over seeing who was knocking. " Hey..." I softly said

He just gave me a half smile. " Want some company?" I questioned

He thought about it before nodding his head, so I slipped out of my shoes and joined him. " You okay?" I whispered, he didn't say anything so I let it go for right now and focused on the movie he had on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were on like our third movie and I moved to lie closer to him just out of habit. He didn't move a muscle, " Sorry..." I whispered and moved some

" It's fine" He whispered and moved so we both could share the same pillow. I settled on it and glanced at him. " You sure you're gonna be okay?" I whispered

He let out a soft sigh, but nodded. I was hesitant to ask... " You would tell me if something was wrong right."

" You know I would." He spoke and looked over at me

I stared back, we were super close where I could feel his breath hitting my face. " So there's nothing going on." I whispered just to see and I know it seems too much, but I worry too much. He gave me a half smile.

I smiled back, " Well I'm glad you let me stay." I whispered and rested one of my hands over his. He smiled for real this time and gave my hand a squeeze. We focused back on the movie and I casually ran my thumb over his knuckles.

Marcus's POV

Even though I'm going through my depression phase again I'm glad to have Y/n here. It's the little things she does that gets me. Like right now with her running her thumb over my knuckles sends like this calm energy into me. That I know when she's here everything will get better. I just wish I could tell her what's going through my head even though I don't even know what's happening most of the time. The third movie we put on was at the end credits, but I didn't make a move to find another one.

" Have you eaten yet today?" I heard her voice and glanced over at my favorite color of eyes. She was just sitting there patiently waiting for me to answer. I sighed and rubbed a hand down my face. I then shook my head and I waited for a lecture, but it never came. I just felt her get up from my bed. " Where are you going?" I questioned her not making much to get up from my bed.

" I'm gonna go get us something to eat." She said

" I'm not hun-" I started saying

She held her finger up. " Don't give me that bullshit, you're gonna eat. It doesn't even have to be a lot, but you're eating please for me." She said in that voice where she wasn't ordering me, but I knew she was serious.

So I just nodded knowing not to argue with her when she got like this. She gave me a smile before leaving my room. I just scrolled through my computer to find another movie.

Your POV

I was making some snacks for us and noticed Maxine. " Hey" I softly said

" Is he feeling okay?" Maxine immediately asked, which made me sigh, " He hasn't really told me much, but right now I'm trying to make him eat something." I told her

Maxine smiled a little " Thanks, Y/n/n. I'm glad he has you by his side right now."

I smiled some and focused back on the snacks I was making. I heard her footsteps leave so I quietly finished the snacks and carried them up to his room. " Okay so we have some trail mix, fruit and my personal favorite Oreos." I said while setting them on his bed and climbed back on. He let out a soft small chuckle..." Wow and here I thought it would be regular food."

I rolled my eyes, " It is... you got your protein from the nuts in the trail mix, along with some healthy fruit, and then just a good pick me up treat." I explained

He laughed a little bit more..." We'll thank you for bringing some." He softly said

I gently placed a hand on his shoulder. " Just don't let your body shut down. Even if you don't feel like life should go on, just remember you have people around that care about you." I softly spoke

He looked over me which I didn't mind until he pulled me into a hug. I hugged back and didn't let go until he did.

Marcus's POV

Being in her arms felt like home to me but I know I didn't want to get into something with her because I wasn't mentally ready for one.

" Thanks for sticking around." I whispered before I pulled away from the hug

She smiled and ruffled my hair. " I fear you are stuck with me." She said and I gave her a soft smile before clicking on the next movie while starting to eat for the first time today.

I felt her lean closer to me, but not right on top of me. Just enough to know she was still here, and that is when I knew it would all go away soon just by knowing she was here in my corner.
