Frosty Fingers [Markiplier (Ice Bath Challenge)]

"My balls!" Mark's face scrunched up, red and wrinkly. All you could think about was how the furrows on his forehead looked like wifi bars. Ryan, Matt, and Matthias were laughing and giggling, while you were on your phone waiting for your turn to plummet into the icy cold water. The timer Ryan had set on his phone to tell him when Mark was done, went off, and Mark, with one swift quick movement, hopped out of the bath.

"Your turn Y/N", Mark accomplished to say though clattering teeth. Those were the three words you had hoped to hear in another 5-10 minutes, not anticipating this one bit.

"Okay", you huffed. The water did not look one bit intimidating, but the fear of being really cold made you not want to continue. Either way, it was better to get things over with than dread the fact that you'll have to do this later.

As your clad calf and thigh entered the ice bath and you cringed your face the same way Mark did, you thought the funniest thing was how you looked like you now had Wifi on your forehead too. Mark, as he was entering, made it a point that the most painful part was the toes, which he was right about. The only good thing about it all was that it took you a good 37 seconds to sink yourself into the ice.

"This isn't that bad when your body gets used to it", you say after you had crossed your arms to seise all shaking, or at the very best, hide it.

Again, everyone was laughing hysterically, while Mark was more focus on how you acted rather than what you said.

After 5 minuets, x2.5 longer than Marks time, Ryan's phone went off again and with numb legs, Matt helped you sit down on the toilet, and gave you the towel conveniently covered in Chica's fur. After Mark hopped back in for a quick second to say "Buh-bye" to the viewers, you helped melt the ice and take all of the equipment out of the restroom.

Matt left to edit the video, Ryan went to warm up, and Matthias left to see Amanda, leaving Mark to yourself.

Here's the part where I should share some info. You and Mark were close, but in different senses. You though Mark was like a hot dorky brother, while he thought of you as an obscenely attractive woman. You made it clear, but you acted more as if you both were a couple, on accident.

You grabbed hold of Mark, warming yourself and getting a long hug.

"Damn your cold," Mark retorted as he wrapped his warm arms around you. You giggled a smidgen, and felt your face warm up. As you let go, Mark's warmth decimated and traveled around your shoulders. The feeling of loneliness traveled to your hands and you ignored it. Getting under the covers was the one thing you wanted to do.

"I'm going to warm up in the guest room bed, maybe sleep." Mark nodded and followed you out to his own room. Before he completely left the room, he posed a offer that seemed odd but okay.

"Can I lay with you so we both can warm up?" You didn't mind so you let him lay in the bed. He waddled over and slowly and sweetly, laid next to you in the bed without pushing you off. You scooted over so he had more room, and he scooted closer. You could feel the warmth from his back. His glasses fell slowly, making him scrunch his nose, so he took them of and closed his eyes.

He was facing you and you were looking up at the ceiling then back a Mark. His face laid still and adorable. His arms held the body pillow between you both, and every minute or less, he would re-adjust in a position that looked like he was actually holding someone into his chest.

After maybe 20 mins in the dim and quiet room, Mark's baritone voice sounded right behind your ear.

"Can I tell you something?", he half whispers, half speaks.

"Yah sure." You voice was wispy and sleepy.

"I... I'm falling for you hard, and I wanted to know how you feel..."
