A Suitcase: A PewDiePie and Marzia love story.

Taking Charge

*Felix*
I feel happy, seeing Marzia this way. She bends her elbow several times and looks at me happily. I kiss her head again. We both walk home, swinging our arms together. I unlock the door as  we hear some yapping from within. As soon as the door is ajar, Maya squeezes in the gap and between Marzia's ankles. She picks her up an nuzzles her face in her fur. I nudge them inside and close the door. I fall backwards on the sofa and lay my head on the headrest. Soon, everything fades from my sight.

I go to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water for both of us to drink. When I come back, I see Felix asleep on the sofa. A pang of pain arises in my heart. I feel guilty for not being able to help around in the house, even though I don't think I should be. I look at him for a while, thinking about what I should do. I go back to the kitchen and leave the glasses on the counter. I open the shelves in hope of finding something edible. I see a pack of edible noodles. I take a small saucepan and fill it with water. It was nice of Felix to arrange all the furniture and essentials before I moved in here. So to be honest, the only thing we need to worry about is food. I silently wish for better days as I drop the noodles in the boiling water. I slightly increase the fire and smile at the aroma. I arrange the plates and bowls and place the forks on the side. I watch the noodles wiggle in the hot water as they take shape (or lack thereof). I switch off the stove  and serve. I place the plates on the dining table and I walk towards Felix. I notice Maya sitting on Felix's lap and rubbing on his knee. I sit next to him and stroke his forehead, pulling his fringe back slightly.
"Hmm?" Felix hums, eyes still closed.
"Lunch is ready, Felix." I whisper. His eyes shoot open and he sits up. "I'm sorry..ummm I didn't mean to sleep at all..." he trails off, confused. I look at him affectionately. "Don't be. You are tired. Have lunch and you  can go to bed. Okay?" Felix smiles and we sit on the dining table. He takes a full of water and proceeds to wolf down the hot noodles, making weird monster noises." I give him a weird look as I nibble on mine. He laughs and plays with his fringe. I watch his blonde hair make a wave like formation as he pulls it back with his left hand. I suppress the overwhelming sensation to play with his hair and kiss his pink lips. He looks at me with his blue eyes and we look down at our empty bowls. We smile and he gets up, collecting the dishes. He dumps them in the sink and washes his hands. He goes to our bedroom, with Maya following along. I grab my purse from the empty center table and whip out my phone. I see that I've received an email from Daizo.

Hello Marzia!
How are things in Sweden? How did you spend your new year? Its pretty weird not having you here after so many years. But I'm happy that you're happy! How is it like staying with a boy? Not like you didn't before...cause you have a brother...but you know what I mean. Any drama? Fill me up! I'm all about the gossip!!! I'm annoying your family every alternate week because why not? I hope you reply soon!
Yours awkwardly,
Daizo

I smile at the email and compose another one.

Hi Daizo!
It has actually been so long! I can't believe either! Time flies when you're in love, right? First up, thank you so much, Daizo. You set me up with the nicest man on earth. We now have a pug named Maya. I remember telling you about her. She was shy then she is like a female version of Felix. Really naughty and always nibbling random things in places. Oh yes...there was lots of drama, but you'll have to sit down for this, because this is really heavy.

I considered leaving out the drama, but that would break our promise of telling each other everything. I finally decide to go ahead and tell her the news.

Please Daizo, not a word to my parents about this. They will worry about it too much. And the whole thing is taken care of. Felix and I had an encounter with his ex and she hurt me, but Felix saved me and told me to run while I called the police. Now she's behind bars. So its all good. We spent new years at Felix's parents house and his grandfather's. He told me stories of his family, and his previous jobs. And he's so sweet too! He makes me noodles and goes to the market when I can't. He balances YouTube with housework and  sometimes he gets so tired I feel bad for him. He always forgives and his sister is adorable too! She is the saner version of Felix and we hang out and do girly things together. He always surprises me, Daizo, and he always makes me happy. I want to find something that he'd genuinely be happy with. He is happy when I cook for him when I smile at him or pick clothes for him to wear, but I want to do something which will surprise him and make him happy. I hope we both can figure it out. Hope you reply soon.
Yours weirdly,
Marzia.

I press the send button and gently drop the phone on the sofa. I feel guilty on not telling Daizo the entire truth, but I felt it necessary that I do so to keep the momentary peace.

I walk to the bedroom to check on Felix. I find him sitting upright, eyes focused on the opposite wall. His eyes are greenish grey, which must mean he's upset because he is tired.
"What?" I coo and he looks at me. "What are you waiting for?" I elaborate. He smirks lightly and crawls across the bed, grabbing my wrist. I get on the bed and he drags me towards him. I lie sideways, and he places his chin on my head. He wraps his arm around me as I focus on his breathing, matching mine to his. As I start to fall asleep, I hear a soft whisper.
"I can't sleep without you."
