A Walk in the Rain (Markiplier x Reader)

Chapter 10

The car rolled to a stop in front of your apartment. As soon as the vehicle halted there was a somber moment of silence. No one was ready for you to return to your apartment. Mark sat in the driver seat, hands gripped to the steering wheel, staring at the building. Jack stared at his feet, and you were gazing at Mark.
"Do you...have anything else planned today?" You say quietly. Marks attention snaps back to you, and without hesitation says "No. My day is actually clear for once." Jack was turned now to face you. He gazed at you as he questions " Why? Do you need a ride somewhere else?". "No." You say. " I was just wondering if you guys wanted to hang out a little more? I mean, if that's ok with you. I don't really want to go home yet.". Sheer relief passed across their faces, apparently they wanted to keep hanging out as well. " I love that idea!" Jack shouts. Suddenly all three of you were grinning like idiots. "Um. Where should we go? One of your houses? Or...?" You say through the grin. " I don't actually live in L.A. I am only staying here about a month with Mark and his roomates." Jack says. "Woah, Mark has roomates?" You say shocked. "Yeah, Matt and Ryan. They're my boys." Mark says with pride. " I thought you lived in L.A.". You say to Jack as Mark shifts the car out of park and starts rolling down the street. Jack shrugs and shakes his head. "Nope. I'm a pure blood, home grown, original Irishman." He says seriously before beginning to laugh at himself.
The conversation on Ireland and Jacks origin continues until the car stops again, in front of a large house. "Wow. You live here?". Mark nods as he is unbuckling, a grin on his face. You exit the car and follow Jack and Mark down the sidewalk to the front door. Unlocking it with his keys, Mark steps in and is instantly assaulted with a barrage of barking. "Chica, it's me. Calm down. You do this every day." He says to the dog scoldingly and playful at the same time. " I mean, look at Lego over there, just chilling. Be like Lego." Mark is petting the dog who barked at him so tenderly as you step in after Jack, who Chica ignores after noticing you and shooting straight over, barking again. This dog was possible the cutest you had ever seen. She was obviously a Golden Retriever, as shown by her fur and cute little face. You instantly drop to your knees and give this dog all of the love she deserves. "Oh my gosh!" You say a little to loudly. " I can't believe your face! So huggable!". Jack has crouched down and is petting Chica as well while Mark locks the front door. Foot steps are heard from upstairs, followed by a young sounding voice saying "Mark? Who was that? Did you bring home a girl? A guuuuurl?". Jack yelled back "Why don't ya come down and see?".Looking up, you see the origin of the voice stepping down the stairs, followed by another person. The first one is very tall, and wearing glasses. "You DID bring home a girl!" He says, looking straight at you, feigning shock. Mark was blushing big time, and trying to hide it. "Why are you blushing? Do you LIKE her?" He says, grinning. He was proud that he was getting Mark worked up like this. Before he could say anymore, Jack interrupts him. "Matt, come on! Just say hi to the lady! You too Ryan!" He was referring to the man behind Matt, who was obviously very shy about there being a new person around. Mark was glaring angrily at Matt, but that faded from his face quickly as Chica started to whine and paw at his leg. A look of terror passed through Matt, Mark, and Ryans faces. Chica had to go to the bathroom. Now. Mark tears from the room, calling Chica to follow him. She does, and so does Lego. As soon as he leaves, Matt finally directs his attention to you. Jack has sat on the couch and is looking at his phone, but still watching you three. " Sorry about being rude like that, Mark has just never brought home a girl. I wanted to mess with him." He says sticking out his hand. My names Matt, to get around any long boring backstory about me, all you have to know is I am weeaboo trash. There, done." He says smiling. You grin back and introduce yourself. " I'm Amber. Nice to meet you Weeaboo trash." You laugh at each other, earning a glance from Jack. At that moment, Mark walks back in. Matt and Ryan instantly ask" Did she make it?". Stopping, Mark puts his hand in the air and announces "Chica has successfully gone to the bathroom outside. Much rejoicing is in order." A small round of applause was given. " Have we all introduced ourselves? Ryan? Say hi." Ryan gives Mark a look of fear, but then steps forward and holds out his hand, which you shake. " Ryan. Um, hi." He says awkwardly. Before giving a weird smile and plopping besides Jack in the couch. "So what exactly is the plan for tonight?" Jack asks, putting his phone away. "Um. How about some games?" Mark says, looking to you. Matt and Ryan look to you as well, waiting for your response. "Yeah!" You exclaim. " some games sounds great." Smiling, you look around at the people surrounding you. They radiated such kind personalities, they were definitely people you wanted to spend your evening with. The four men move as a herd out of the room, inviting you to follow them to the couch, where you were about to partake in the most hardcore Mario Cart races you had ever been apart of.
