I was talking to Jack for a long time. We talked about new games we were going to be playing on YouTube and what we were planning on doing at PAX.
"Hey baby, you gonna come to bed?" I heard a feminine voice say from Jacks doorway.
"Uh, yea soon Signe!" Jack said back.
"That the girlfriend?" I asked.
"How did you know?" Jack asked jokingly.
"Pure psychic abilities." I replied. Jack laughed and smiles a huge smile. His smile is so beautiful.. like damn. His smile can make me smile just from seeing it.
"I leave you to it then." I said.
"Will you be okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm actually way more calm than I was before.." I said.
"I'm glad to hear it. I'll talk to you tomorrow then?" He asked.
"Of course." I said. And we hung up. Felix didn't coke upstairs all night.
Good. I actually got a good night sleep for once.

I woke up the next day to clanging in the kitchen. This was strange, since usually Felix doesn't do anything in the kitchen. I made my way downstairs, to see Felix... making cereal. For both of us.
"Hey babe, come downstairs." He said. This is so weird.
"I'm here boo." I said.
"Take a seat!" He said lovingly.
Oh no, I'm in for something bad.
"Mark, I.. I've been keeping a secret from you for a long time." He said.
I just nodded and sat up straight.
"Mark, calm down. What's going on?" He asked, seeming genuinely confused.
'He's confused? Nah, that's totally me right now.' I thought.
"I miss you Mark, and I'm sorry for what h- I... did." He said. I just stared at him in disbelief.
"I'm gonna love you like I used to, if it takes my life to get used to." He said. He stood up, walked over to me, and kissed me.
"I.. love you." I said.
Felix smiled, and said it back.

Later that day, Felix went out for groceries. It was bizzare, he usually makes me do it. Since Felix was gone and I had no responsibility, I decided to call Jack.
Markiplier is calling...
"Yo home skillet!" Jack said.
"He-hey!" I replied.
"Oh, is that Mark?" The same feminine voice said.
"Yeah, come say hi!" He said.
"Hey, I'm signe!" She said to me.
"Hey, the names Mark." I said. Why did my heart just break to meet his girlfriend? I have a boyfriend.
"This is 'the girlfriend.'" Jack said with air quotes. I laughed and rolled my eyes.
"Yep!" She said, running away.
"Babe where you goin!?" He yelled to her.
"Forgot to buy more markers, my copics ran out of ink!" She yelled.
"Okay be back soo— and she's gone." He said, chuckling.
"Haha, so what's goin on man?" I asked.
"Trying to sort out this Life Is Strange bullshit out." He said.
"Oh, copyright at it again?" I asked.
"Yep, dastardly fiend." He said in his dramatic voice.
"Agreed, I'm playing that soon, any tips?"  I asked.
"Lower the volume during literally every music sequence." Jack said, laughing.
I suddenly heard the door open downstairs.
"Felix is home." I said.
"Hm, really now?" Jack said.
"Hey rat! Help me with these bags!"
I was shocked. He was just in this super good mood before he left. What happened now?!
"Uhm... I'll be back." I said.
"I'll be here." Jack said.
As I made my way downstairs, I saw Felix on the couch with a pile of grocery bags on the floor.
"I asked for your help." He said, snotty.
I quickly picked up all the bags and started putting the groceries away. I put all the bags in the cupboard, and made my way back upstairs.
"Im back, I'm sorry it took so long." I apologized.
"It's fine dude, you weren't expecting it." He said, looking worried.
"Anything going on?" I asked.
"It's just.. Signes been gone for an hour.." he said.
"What was she doing again?" I asked.
"Getting Markers.." he said.
"Oh dang, how long could it possibly take to get markers?" I said.
"Not that long. Speaking of which, I have one." Jack said.
"Really now?" I asked.
"Yep, he's in my computer screen." Jack laughed.
"Very, funny." I said. Blushing, but keeping it lowkey.
"I agree." He bantered.
