Runaway (Markiplier X Lindsey Stirling)

Old Friends

(Mark p.o.v.)
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was her, standing at my doorstep. She came back. I helped her with her bag as we walked inside. She greeted my family as we all say in the living room.
Lindsey: So, I have a surprise that I brought with me.
She reaches into the small bag she was carrying and we see a small, tan puppy who perked up as bounced off her lap, running around the room.
Mom: Oh, you brought puppy!
Mark: What's it's name?
Lindsey: Her name's Luna.
Mark: She's adorable. Didn't you always want a puppy?
She nodded as I gave her a side hug.
Mark: Well, I have a surprise too.
She turned to me, looking slightly confused, as did the rest of my family.
Mark: Today is my last day in Cincinnati. I'm going back to L.A.
Lindsey: Really?
Mark: Yeah, I figured it's about time. I'm actually going out with my friends tonight, and I'd love it if you came too.
Lindsey: Of course.
I hugged her again.
Mark: It's great to have you back.
Lindsey: Likewise.
Mom: Well, if you're not back for dinner, then I leave food for tomorrow. Heat it up in microwave in L.A.
Mark: Thanks mom.
Tom: You'll be fine bro.
I smiled at him, as he smiled back.
Mark: Well, I'm actually supposed to be there in 15 minutes, so, we'd better get going.
Lindsey: Sounds like a plan.
Then I helped her up as we got our stuff and walked out the door.
The drive was just catching up. She told me about tour, I told her about what had been going on. When we walked inside the restaurant, all of my Cincinnati friends were there. They greeted us as we all exchanged hugs before sitting down. There was Bob, Wade, Molly, Mandy, and Tyler. They all seemed happy to see me, and surprised when they saw Lindsey. They hadn't heard much that had happened since she asked to stay at my house, so I would have quite a bit of explaining to do. Speak of the devil, Wade shot me a look and waved me over. I walked over as the others greeted Lindsey, and then he pulled me off to the side.
Wade: I don't mean this in a rude way, but what's she doing here?
Mark: She came to visit to surprise me, so I thought she'd come with me instead of being left at home with my mom and brother.
Wade: Yeah, but why is she coming to visit? I thought you guys weren't talking.
Mark: About that...
I told him everything. I had to repeat a couple of things, but by the end he was...still confused.
Wade: So wait, you guys finally made up?
Mark: Yeah.
Wade: And you've cleared everything up?
Mark: Yup.
Wade: And you're back together?
Mark: No. We're friends.
Wade just shook his head and gave me a look.
Mark: What?
Wade: Well, it's obvious that you still like her, and I'm petty damn sure she still likes you.
Mark: I can't ask to get back together, Wade.
Wade: Well, I guess you are going back to L.A., so...
Mark: Actually, she's coming with me.
Wade: Okay, then what's stopping you?

(Lindsey p.o.v.)
Molly: It's so good to see you again!
Lindsey: You too!
We hugged as everyone else went back to their conversations.
Molly: So, are you and Mark...?
Lindsey: No.
She rubbed my shoulders and looked at me sympathetically.
Molly: Oh, I'm sorry.
I just looked down a little and nodded.
Molly: Wait, do you want to be?
I sighed. I knew it would come up at some point.
Lindsey: Yes, no, I don't know. I don't know.
Molly: Well, have you talked to him about it?
I shook my head.
Molly: Well do that. You never know. He might be thinking the same things.
Lindsey: Okay.
Molly: 'Atta girl. Now...
She put her arm around my shoulders and started walking me over towards the rest of the group. I saw Mark and Wade rejoining the group as well.
Molly: ...we party. It's good to have you back.
Lindsey: It's good to be back.

A little while later

(Phelba p.o.v.)
Ha! I see her! There she is! Are those her friends she's with? And wait! Whose that guy? Why does he have red hair? Is he trying to copy her? Hm. I need to look more into this. What? Is he trying to reach for her hand? Are they together? Uh, their fingers are touching! And he pulled away a little. Maybe not. But still...
I hurriedly pulled out my phone, and right as he actually went for it (like a man), I took a picture.
Oh...the other Stirlingites are going to love this! Now who is this guy?

@PhelbaStirling: Look whose got a new boyfriend! Anyone know who he is?

@CPMT19: That's Markiplier!!! 😱

Markiplier? Hm...ill have to look into this.
This is a duty...

...For Phelba!

A/N: So...I hope I did a decent job of portraying the inner thoughts of le Phelba. I am not an experienced stalke-I mean #1 fan, so... :p
So yeah, things are about to get interesting. Until next time...
