Marley - Septiplier x Jelix

Chapter Six

Jack-

I couldn't help pouting after Mark left, but Felix was keeping my mood positive as he'd randomly throw something small at me to catch my attention and make me giggle. He ended up sliding closer to me and cutting into a pancake.

"Open wide!" He laughed, having half of a pancake on his fork. I rolled my eyes, but giggled.

"I can't fit that in my mouth."

"That sounds so wrong - I love it," He grinned, but shoved the fork closer to my mouth. "Just try it."

"Why-" I was cut off with the pancake being shoved into my mouth entirely, stuffing it completely. I was about to spit it out, when Felix moved closer to me and softly pressed his lips against mine - which couldn't respond with a mouth stuffed with pancakes. A million thoughts were already rushing through my mind, dozens of questions internally begging to be answered, confusion taking over as he pulled away with a small smile.

"I didn't want you to say anything until you had time to think... I really like you, Jack, and I have for a long time now. I wasn't sure how to approach you about it and it was becoming harder and harder to bury it. Sorry for kissing you so suddenly, but please... um, I guess think? Just use that Irish brain of yours and question if you could see us together," Felix shrugged, finishing with a bit larger of a smile. I turned away to spit out the pancake quick into a small trash can nearby, before grabbing his arm as he tried to leave.

"First off, you didn't have to shove a pancake in my mouth to get me to shut up," I giggled a bit. "And... You don't have to be afraid of being upfront with me. I'm a big boy, I can handle myself."

"Actually, you're quite small," He countered with a smirk and I slapped his arm. "You're so small, that didn't even hurt."

"Did you want it to?" I raised my hand again with no intention of actually hitting him, but he just laughed and shook his head. I brought my hand back down to my side. "But I don't really need to think about it - or at least I don't think I do..."

"So...?" He questioned as I internally sighed, wondering if this was something I really wanted to do. I stepped up to him and pulled him into a hug.

"I'd love to give us a test run and see how it works out," I murmured and he pulled away to kiss me again. This time, I giggled and was able to respond accordingly. 

"You don't know how happy I am to hear that," He chuckled. "Do you... I don't know, want to go on our first date soon? The first of many, hopefully."

"Yeah, of course, how about tonight? I just - I feel like I really need to think about things. You don't need to worry, I just have a bit on my mind," I flashed a quick smile, before taking his finished dish and my own, which still had a whole pancake on it. "I'm gonna clean up a bit - could you upload my second video for today? It's in a little folder with today's date on it."

"Of course," He pecked my cheek before leaving and I sighed deeply once he left the room and headed upstairs. I decided to throw on a different sweatshirt quick, as Felix had gotten syrup on mine, and went downstairs. I didn't have any time to think before I opened the door to find candies all over my room. I walked in, uncertainly, seeing a note on my desk. I picked it up and bit my lower lip.

'All the candy in the world could never be as sweet as you are. -Mark'

I dropped the note and immediately brought my hand to my hair, brushing through it nervously. I hadn't had any time to think about Felix, afraid I would lose him if I said no, and now Mark had left a cute, little love note in my room - I could already feel the awkward rising out of this situation. 

Was I the guy they were talking about in the kitchen? The thought that I must've been fills me with dread as the possibility of having to lose one of them forever frightens me. If I hadn't said anything to Felix, I might've been able to play this off and keep them both as friends, but it was too late now. I had already agreed to testing things out with Felix and going out on a date with him.

I start itching up and down my arms in a fit of anxiousness after taking off my sweatshirt, unsure what to do with this situation as I felt the sting on my skin from my nails. Apart of me has always deeply wanted a relationship with either of the two, another has always been too afraid to confront it, in case I ruined everything entirely. This was never a situation I meant to get stuck in or thought I would.

Why would either of them like me? Perhaps they thought of me more as a rebound after their girlfriends left. I was probably just the first person they saw afterwards or were influenced by that stupid Keemstar video that ruined our relationships and their minds were filled with sudden thoughts of us together. We'll probably hook up and that will be the end of that, which breaks my heart, but if I can play this out just right, maybe things won't be awkward and we can all still be friends in the end. 

Apart of me still wanted to bang my head against the wall, considering I already had to choose between Mark and Felix. If I turned down Mark, it would make sense, considering I already agreed to Felix's proposal and he wouldn't have to hold it against me, but if I said no to Felix, he'd believe I preferred Mark and would probably hate me. I was already certain I'd stick with Felix, but there was still a bit of sadness within me because of the fact that I couldn't be with Mark. Maybe it was meant to be this way though.
