I scratched the back of my neck as I waited for Bob and Wade to pull up outside of my current home, I hadn't told Mark I was going out yet but I knew it wouldn't go down too well. I quietly crept up to his recording room and popped my head around the door, ensuring not to disturb any potential recording sessions. Thankfully he was sat back in his chair with the Twitter tab open instead of rambling on in front of the camera, so I let myself in and walked over to him.

"Hey," he smiled, reaching his arm out and gently wrapping it around me, pulling me towards him.

"Hey, I'm going out with the guys," I said quickly, running my hand up and down his arm.

"The guys? As in Bob and Wade or Matt and Ryan?"

"Bob and Wade," I chuckled,

"Awesome, can I come?" I bit my lip awkwardly and shook my head,

"Usually I would say yes, and you know I would, but no, not this time. I have to go somewhere secret." Mark released me and crossed his arms across his chest,

"Why is it always a secret?" I stepped back from him and shook my head,

"Mark just trust me with this, if you could come along I'd bring you one thousand percent, but just for today let me keep this secret a secret until you need to know." I watched him intently as I waited for a response but he just stared at me blankly before turning back to his computer,

"alright, cool."

"Mark don't be like that,"

"Just go Sean." I sighed before pressing a kiss to his forehead and leaving his room.

I slipped my shoes on and dashed out of the door, hopping into the car with Bob and Wade and explaining Mark's annoyance at the situation. Bob laughed it off because he'd known Mark for a long time and knew he'd get over it, Wade on the other hand panicked a little and was scared about the consequences.

"I don't want to be that annoying guy that shoves a camera in your face but can we record a carpool karaoke whilst we drive there? I've seen so many videos of them and they look like great fun." Bob giggled,

"Sure man lets do it!" Bob set up the camera as Wade focused on the road and I moved into the middle sit in the back so I was in the view of the camera.

We sang along to multiple songs and the biggest smile appeared on my face as Downtown by Macklemore came on, immediately Wade looked at me in the mirror and I nodded, singing along quietly before we reached the chorus.

"Are you ready?" I chuckled,

"DOWNTOWN, DOWNTOWN, DOWNTOWN, DOOOOWWNTOWWN!" I yelled at the top of my voice, eventually erupting into fits of laughter with the other guys.

"You're so good at impersonating that," Wade laughed,

"I have the perfect song." Bob said, skipping to a familiar tune. I couldn't help but role my eyes as Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley blasted through the speakers. In good old meme Lord style we all sang and danced along before quietening down the music and pulling up outside of our destination. As I opened the door to step out of the car I got a Twitter notification alerting me that Mark had just tweeted:

Markiplier: should I be concerned about secrets?

I laughed quietly at him before tweeting back a kissy face emoji, he had NOTHING to worry about.

I cleared my throat and marched into the store with Bob and Wade trailing behind me, entranced in their own conversations about some of the events of the Halloween party - even though it had been a few weeks since then, the memories were still fresh in their minds.

"Good afternoon sir, how can I help?" A friendly woman from behind the counter asked,

"Hi, I called a few days ago regarding a golden retriever? I spoke to a lady called Caitlin?" I smiled,

"Oh that's me! Sorry, I forgot you were coming today. Is it still the same retriever you saw on the site that you're interested in?" I nodded enthusiastically and beckoned for Bob and Wade to follow me as Caitlin lead us through the back.

"So she's a beautiful golden retriever, just under a year old, she still hasn't been named yet though." Caitlin explained as she opened up the dog's pen, I patted my knees and she came rushing out and jumped up at me. I smiled and stroked her, she was perfect, exactly what I was looking for.

"She's beautiful," Wade commented, leaning past me and stroking her head.

"What do you think guys?" I questioned, they each stroked her and smiled.

"He's going to love her," I felt a wave of relief,

"So am I able to take her today?" Caitlin nodded and spoke me through the paperwork as Bob and Wade picked out the essentials we needed, including a pink harness and a brown lead.

Around twenty minutes later we were all sorted and had paid for everything, so we loaded the dog and the items into the car and I decided to ring Mark,

"What do you want?" He mumbled,

"Don't be sour Marky, I've got your Christmas present here!"

"Sean we're halfway through November, why have you got it so early?"

"I wanted to make sure you definitely got one, be prepared for when I'm home." He responded with confusion before hanging up the phone and I couldn't help but smile, he was so easily confused but I wouldn't change him for the world.

Around fifteen minutes later we reached my home and I hopped out of the car, instructing Bob to stay with the car and the dog whilst me and Wade entered and prepared Mark. I entered the house and winked at Mark, chucking a blindfold into his hands.

"Put that on and I'll bring your present in,"

"Kinky," Wade joked, helping to tie the blindfold. I shook my head at him and we stood Mark in the middle of the living room, Wade opened up his phone and got ready to record Mark's reaction. I quickly ran back out and helped the dog out of the car, allowing Bob to lock up and we returned to the living room. I stood in front of Mark with the lead in my hands and nodded at Bob who was behind Mark, he ripped off the blindfold and Mark adjusted to the brightness before widening his eyes.

"Oh my gosh! Hello puppy!" He crouched down and began stroking the dog,

"Merry Christmas Marky!" He looked around each of us with a shocked expression on his face before shaking his head,

"I can't - what, you got me a dog?" I nodded and he got to his feet and ran over to me, hugging me tightly. Bob took the lead and I wrapped my arms around Mark,

"I'm sorry I had to keep another secret but I hope it was worth the wait," I whispered, he squeezed me tighter before pulling back and kissing me softly.

"I really don't deserve you." He returned back to the dog and we explained her age, how she was nameless so he could pick it and how we'd got him some more things he would need to take care of her.

"Can you, you know take a picture of us?" Mark asked shyly, handing me his phone. I nodded and snapped a picture, watching as he tweeted out with the picture of them,

Markiplier: everybody say hi to chica! The newest member of the family!
