A Beautiful Nightmare- a Markiplier x Darkiplier x reader story

The Realization

After Vince was finished with his "punishment" leaving large bruises and cuts all over my body, I managed to find my way back to the room my stalker was in. Thinking of leaving Vince hurts, but I know it's for the best. I still love him and I know he feels the same. But the abuse had to stop. It wasn't worth staying here and having all Hell break lose virtually destroying the planet just because he was my first love.
If he loves me, he has to let me go. I thought to myself. I decide to sleep till morning to give myself time to process everything that has happened. It's already 2am so I wouldn't get much sleep.
I get into bed and try to get comfortable only to be kept up by my thoughts.

Who is this guy to say leave Vince?
But that kiss felt perfect.
Maybe it's fate saying Vince and I aren't meant to be...

I could barely sleep and when I did all I could think about was who my stalker was. The way his arms felt around my waist, strong and firm yet gentle and loving. The heat from his body keeping me warm while standing there. The feeling of his soft lips on mine. Am I falling for him? No that's insane I could barely even see his face. What I do know is that he seemed vaguely familiar, in appearance and the sound of his voice. What I did remember from the short time I looked at him was how tone he was yet also very pale, almost grey. I could feel some stubble when I rested my thumb on his cheek while we kissed.

Sleeping with these thoughts in my mind made it clear that I wanted him, not Vince. I didn't mind being his "slave" as long as I knew I'd be protected. It's either that or innocent people get hurt. This just gives me an excuse to finally get away from Vince. What I've been trying to do for months now.

Soon morning came and I woke up at my normal time, 8am, right after Vince leaves for work. Once again, I'm left at home all alone all day. I finish my morning routine and start recording two videos I can upload tomorrow and upload one of the two I have for today.

After recording, editing, and uploading everything I needed to for that day, it was almost 1pm. The day is going by fast and I wasn't sure I was ready for it to be time for me to make my decision. I still have until around midnight tonight before I have to finalize my decision but deep down I knew I wanted him. Feeling the sparks when we kissed had been all I thought about. The emotion he put behind it was real, I could feel it. It's something Vince has never done before. Something I never thought I'd feel. I was starting to fall for this mystery man who knew so much about me without ever saying a word. He called me perfect, something no one has ever said about me. Especially not Vince.

My decision was made, but what I was really afraid of is the backlash from Vince about me leaving. I've tried before and failed. I decided to leave it up to this mystery stalker to force Vince to let me go. He has more power than I.

I decided to distract myself with YouTube until Vince got home. I still have a few hours to stay busy on YouTube. You've been watching me as much as I've watched you..
What could all this mean. I decided to scroll through YouTube on a few of my top watched creators to try and decipher his clue. I went through a majority of the creators I watched regularly and found nothing. But there was one I started watching again recently that I obsessed over in my past.

Markiplier.

Since I've started watching him again, he went from having blue hair, to red, now back to black. But something was different about his channel. His most recent upload had my name on it as its title.

I clicked on the video but it wasn't of Mark. It was someone else.

Suddenly, I knew who the mystery man was who has been stalking me all this time...
