Pumpkin Spice Latte (Mark x Reader)

Decorations.

The isles of my local Walmart were just about empty, which isn't really surprising. It was, after all, 2 in the morning.
You know how it is though, sometimes we have sudden drives of inspiration in the middle of the night, but we don't do much about it, especially if it involves leaving our houses. I, on the other hand, did. I felt the need to go Halloween decoration shopping in the middle of the night.
So here I am, cart full of plastic pumpkins, faux spiderwebs, creepy curtain fabric and one of those eerie portraits that look evil from a side view. Don't even get me started on the looks I have received from working employees.
"What? Like you've never seen this before?" I remember asking one specifically, munching on a bag of candy corn. I was really in the holiday spirit.

I strolled down the isle, looking through the decorations and deciding what would look most spooky in my apartment. Picking up a small globe, a fake crow and a skull encased inside, I toss it into the cart. It would probably look good next to the front door.

I pushed the cart along, finding nothing else interesting on that specific isle but more than ready to go to the next.
Just as I was turning my cart, a man from the isle I was heading to came out and we both stopped. When I looked at him, I noticed he had familiar brunette hair and a pair of glasses on.

Where had I seen him before...?
His eyes met mine for a second before looking down at my cart, and back at me, and then to his cart. He, too, had an entire cart full of Halloween decorations.

We stood silently in somewhat of a deadlock for a second before he started to laugh, and I followed quickly after. Looks like I'm not the only one getting in the Halloween spirit! At 2 A.M, anyway.

When we finished laughing, he smiled at me and spoke. "Great minds think alike, I guess."
"I suppose so," I said, giggling a bit again.
"I hope you have a different reason than me to be getting decorations this early in the morning." the man said, leaning onto his cart.
"I just got the midnight idea light, what about you?"
"I couldn't sleep. And also my friends set all of my Halloween stuff from last year on fire-- long story. So here I am." he said, laughing slightly.
"Get any weird looks from the workers yet?" I ask.
"You bet."
"Me too." I reply, before holding my hand out. "I'm (y/n). Professional late night shopper. Not really, but I'm doing damn good for a tired person with an active mind."
"Mark, and pretty much same here!" He says, shaking my hand and smiling. "Oh, and there's nothing good on that isle. Just some boxes and some of that cheap candy." Mark says.
"Thanks. Sucks, because that's the only isle left. I guess Walmart's telling me I need to go home."
"Me too. Hey, look, before we both go check out and leave, do you have plans for this upcoming weekend? I know this is pretty sudden, but you're very pretty and seem like a great person-- you know, considering were both here early morning shopping for Halloween things."
"You know, I do happen to be free, if you wanna hang out. Maybe we can hit another Halloween store or something." I say, and we laugh before pushing our full carts to the check-out line.

"That sounds great! Oh, here." Mark says, writing his number on a little slip of paper and handing it to me and I put it in my purse.
The lady checking out my items looked really done, but didn't say a word. When she finally finished and Mark started setting things up on the counter, it finally came to me. My friend often watched a channel, and the dudes name was Markiplier. Of course!
"Hey. By the way, you're Markiplier right?"
"I am."
"Thought so. You seemed really familiar to me."
"Glad to know I'm famous!" He laughs, and I smile brightly at him. "Ah, please. Don't let it go to your head!" I say jokingly, and giggle. I give him a wave and hear him say "Psh. Whatever. See you this weekend, (y/n)!" As I walk out the door with my bags.

(Meh the other ones will be a lot longer and better, I'm tired but I really needed to get this down and out! Hopefully ill be updating soon! 💕 )
