[Avery's POV]

I turn off the water and step out. Where are the towels? Damn... I search through the closet and find a single towel left. It's a bit short for me but at least it fits my hair. I put the over-sized t-shirt on along with the boxers and sweats. I look at myself in the foggy mirror, wiping it away. I dried my hair with the towel and let it hang loose. I open the door to the hallway and see Mark standing there nervous.

He shakes all thought from his mind. "Um, I heard you singing." he added. I blush.

"I'm sorry." I say in response. He looks at me in confusion.

"Why are you apologizing?" he replied. "It sounded amazing." I blush harder looking at the ground.

"Where are your dirty clothes, I'll go wash them." He picks up my dirty clothes, and notices my phone and wallet on the counter. "Are those yours?" I nod.

"The phone is dead." I say walking towards him. "And the wallet has basically nothing but my driver's license." He studies the phone.

"Well luckily for you, I have an iPhone charger." he smiles and leaves the room. I exit the bathroom and follow him into what I guess is his room, the room I slept in last night. "There you go," he says after plugging the phone in for charge.

"Thanks." I reply with a smile. He smiles back, I blush a little.

"Do you need anything else?" He asks nicely.

"Actually, do you have a, uh... brush?" Come on Avery, he's a boy I doubt he wi- He gabs a brush from his drawer.

"Here you are ma-dam." I pause my thoughts and take the brush. I look at his pink floof of a hair. That's why.

"Hey I'm about to go record a video," he says. I give him a questioning look as I untangle my hair. "Oh right! I haven't told you what I do yet." He laughs. "I'm a pretty well-known person on YouTube, I'm also known as Markiplier." A very light pain strikes the tender spot on my head, not enough to make me react. "So, wanna watch me record?"

"Sure I guess." I reply. He smiles and guides me to the recording room, music playing from the computer. That's what it was, he must have heard me singing in the bathroom since it's right next door. Mark grabs a seat for me and gestures me to sit, slightly bowing like I'm royalty. I give a small curtsy and sit. We both laugh.

"Hold on." He says leaving the room. He comes back with a grey shirt on, still pajama pants. He sits at his computer, turns the music off, and loads up Universe Sandbox. "Alright, I'm gonna start recording now." He says turning on a camera. "Hello everybody my name is Markiplier and welcome to Universe Sandbox. Now this is a game about space-" his voice trails as I watch the amazing things happening on screen. "I love space, now many of you may not know that about me," He says to the Camera. "If there was a program for volunteers to go into space with a 100% chance of dying from death by space, I would be first in line to go to space." I almost laugh but realize he's so serious he didn't notice his silly remark.

"Space is so cool! I love space so much!" Mark says sounding giddy.

~Many 'COOL's and Giddy Mark's later~

"If you wanna know more there's tons of resources to learn about space, and science, and all these cool things." Mark starts to end the video. "I recommend, always learning. 'Cause as stupid as I am and as stupid as I seem, that doesn't mean I don't appreciate, intellectual pursuits. So thank you everybody so much for watching, I hope you enjoyed this video. I know I did. Thank you again, and as always. I will see you, in the next video. BUH-BYE" He waves at the camera before turning it off. I laugh. He turns to me. "What?" He says smiling.

"I counted the amount of times you said 'cool' in that." He smiles and runs his hand through his faded hair.

"How many.." He says shyly.

"Forty-One." I reply. "You should make a counter for the video." I laugh. He smiles.

"I think I will." He says laughing. "I'm gonna die is someone makes a song out of this." We laugh before leaving the room. We walk downstairs to see Ryan and Matt watching TV.

"Hey guys." Mark said grabbing a drink from the kitchen. Matt and Ryan greet him. I sit down in a chair closer to Matt.

"Hey Avery." Matt says with a goofy smile. "What's up."

"I just watched Mark say cool Forty-One times in a video." I say loud enough for Mark to hear. Matt Laughs.

"Shud up..." Mark says as he takes a seat on the couch with Matt.

"Forty-One times?" Ryan asks looking at Mark.

"Yeah..." Mark replies. "Avery was counting while I recorded Universe Sandbox. I CAN'T HELP THAT SPACE IS SO COOL!"

"Forty-Two!" Me, Ryan, and Matt say at the same time. We all laugh, Ryan looks at me and smiles an apologetic smile. I smile back.

A/N: So obviously the video for Mark's 'SPACE IS SO COOL' video is up above if you'd like to watch him freak out about space. Thank you guys again SO much for reading. I love you :). BYE!!!
