Sean's face turned bright red, Sydney slowly pulling on Sean's shirt. "Knock first next time." She mumbled, starting to blush. Sean quickly got dresses, now missing his shirt as Sydney sat in his lap. "I'll remember that." She said, removing her hands from hers and Marks eyes. "Anywho, could we borrow you two for a few hours?" Mark asked. "What for?" Sean asked, pulling Sydney closer to him.
"We- uh.. we bought a house." Mark said, his hand slowly finding Pandora's, "Call us insane, but we both think it's time." He continued. "How the hell did you buy a house in the hour and a half that you two were gone from here?" Sydney asked, causing Jack to chuckle. "Well, it kinda just happened? We discussed it on the way to get your cake and after we left here, I suggested it and we found a house and Pan fell in love with it." He explained, "Are we stupid?" He asked, looking at the ground, thinking his friends might not agree with the twos actions.
"No, you just should have consulted with us, we could have helped you guys look!" Jack grinned, Sydney nodding in agreement. "We're glad you two have found somewhere." Sydney replied. "It was a spur of the moment type thing." Mark said, "Or trust me, we would have."
"Us too. We talked about if he was ever going to move back to Cincinnati and he didn't know for sure, and plus, who knows if we'll even be together in a month, or even a year." Pandora said, whispering the last part.
Sydney glared, "Shut your face holes, I'll make sure you two are together. Got it? You two are my major ship and if all else fails, I'll go down with it."
"I guess." Pandora muttered, picking at the buttons of her red, blue, and white flannel that was tucked into her navy blue leather skirt, "Itd be weird if something like us breaking up happened. I've gotten so used to being with you almost every single day.." Pandora muttered, sitting down beside him, placing her head on his chest. Sydney stood up and walked over to Pandora, hugging her tightly. She hugged back, her grip not as tight as her best friends. "Anyways, lets not get too emotional before we move." Pandora gave a fake laugh. "Fine, who's doing what?" Sydney asked, Jack standing up. "Well.." Pandora cheekily smiled, "You get to help me pack clothes and you two get to move heavy things." She smiled. Sydney rolls her eyes but smiled and nodded. "Sounds alright to me."
"Lets go then." Pandora said standing up, "You riding with us or?" She asked as they walked outside. "Guys.." Sydney trailed off, glancing over at Jack as the two stood in the doorway. "I'm not wearing pants, and he's not wearing a shirt.." She finished, starting to laugh. "Let us get dressed then we'll ride with you."
Pandora rolled her eyes as Mark and Pandora walked out to the car, waiting on the two love birds. They quickly ran, waddled in Sydney's case, back into the house to get dressed. They re-emerged a few minutes later in new clothes, Jack's arm wrapped around Sydney.
"Lets do this." Pandora smiled as the two got into the back seat.

"How many rooms are in your new house?" Sydney asked as they were packing. "Four bedrooms, two bathrooms and then your basic rooms." Pandora looked at Mark for confirmation. Mark nodded, smiling.
"I'm so ready for this." Pandora squealed. Sydney laughed, watching and Mark and Jack started carrying out furniture. "I can tell."
"I think we're both ready," Pandora said as the two males walked back in, "Honestly, if this is the furthest we take our relationship right now, I'm totally okay with that." She whispered to Sydney, "I'm not looking for him to propose or anything like that, you know? I'm just happy I have him." She said as she walked up the stairs and into their room. Sydney followed, looking confused. "He hasn't yet? I really thought he would have by now, he really loves you Pan."
"No. He hasn't." She said as she opened the drawer, "But I'm not rushing it. Neither of us have mentioned it so I'm not really pushing for it." She sighed, "Trust me though, I'd love to spend the rest of my life with him though." Sydney smiled, "I know."
"He's amazing." She stated, "But I'm sure you knew this." Sydney nodded, watching Panda. "Anyways." She said, "You and Sean? Has marriage came up yet?"
Sydney shrugged. "Kind of, we've talked about it."
"That's great. I better be maid of honor." She joked. "Of course you will be!" Sydney laughed softly, smiling. "And have you decided god parents for that bundle of joy?" She asked, placing her hand on Syds stomach. "We have." Sydney replied, looking down at her stomach, "You guys." She replied, helping pack. "Really?" She asked before packing some stuff into boxes, "Wait- us? As in me and Mark?" She questioned, "Why us? Not that i don't want to be! I'd be honored to be a godparent, but I'm curious to know why you picked us."
"You're our best friends, don't you know that?" She smiled. "I know that, but I didn't think you'd pick us." Pandora smiled. "Well, I did, so get used to it." She laughed, packing things away. The two talked while the boys moved things. Pandora walked downstairs, seeing them lounging on the couch, "Do you guys want me to call the boys to help you? I'm sure Luke won't mind. I think Ben's in town too so he could help, if he is."
"Who all would be coming?" Mark asked, looking at Pandora. "Whoever can come. I'm sure Cal and Ash would help you out. They've taken a liking to you, and I'm not sure why." She joked. Mark slowly nodded, standing up and stretching. "Alright, I guess." Pandora grabbed her phone sending a text to her brother, him replying minutes later. "They can be here in about 10 minutes." She stated, "They as in all of them, plus Ben." She said, hoping for no one to freak out. They still weren't very fond of Michael, but tolerated him because of Panda.
Mark's jaw clenched, but he nodded, not saying anything. Pandora rolled her eyes before patting his chest, "Play nice, Mr. Fischbach." She spoke as she heard the doorbell ring. She opened the door, welcoming her brother's and the three others she considered brothers.
Mark stood with his arms crossed, Jack standing with his arm around Sydney. "Nice to see you guys again." Luke smiled, his smile clearly being fake.
Pandora rolled her eyes at her brothers attempt, mouthing a 'stop' to Mark once she saw the glare that was placed on his face. 'Make me' he mouthed back, causing Sydney's eyes to go wide as she glanced between the two.
Pandora raised her eyebrows at him, "Youre testing me, aren't you?" She said, walking closer to him before dragging him into the kitchen.
"Shit's going down.." Sydney mumbled, causing Sean to snicker.
"Mark, what is wrong with you?" She asked, "Youre like this every goddamn time they're here." She sighed. "Michael wants you, Pandora." Mark grumbled, watching her.
"This again?" Pandora groaned, "First off, He doesn't. Second, Were over this. Third, I don't want him- I want you." She said, putting her hands on either side of his body, gripping onto the counter, "If i wanted him, i wouldn't have just bought a house with you, not even an hour ago." She whispered, looking up at him. "He wants you, Panda.." Mark trailed off, looking down at her as he grabbed her face in his hands. "But I want you, too. I have you, but he doesn't like that. He wants to take you away."
"Does it look like I care?" She asked, "I'm not rehashing this again Mark. I love you, and only you." She said, placing her hands onto of his hands, "You." She whispered. He leaned down, pressing his lips to hers as he held her close.
She kissed back slowly, savoring the time they had together in this apartment. She broke the kiss, placing her hands on his chest, "Now, seriously, play nice." She laughed, "Now come on." She said dragging him out of the kitchen, everyone's even directing toward them, "Has she called?" She asked Mark, "We need to know when..." She was cut off by Mark kissing her once again. "Uh.. Okay then." Sydney mumbled.
"Alright, you guys just help him move the furniture into the truck, we'll be packing everything else. Once you're done, just get the boxes and pack the dishes, food, and anything else we need." She said as she grabbed Sydneys hand, literally pulling her up the stairs, once again. Sydney stumbled, nearly falling. "Christ, Panda!"
