As You Wish (Markiplier x Reader)

10

As marks car drives down the city, I peer out the window, seeing the city lights fly by. I sigh gently looking ahead at a few cars. In the corner of my eye, Mark's smiling.

Suddenly I feel a hand on my thigh. I look down to see Mark's hand squeezing it gently.

I grin. I haven't felt this comfortable with a guy before. I could feel slight twitches in his hand.

Before I know it, he's hand slips off and we arrived at an Italian restaurant. It was quiet, and mark jumps out I the car quickly and runs to my side of the car and opens the door for me. I did myself smiling and I jump out of the car. Mark closes the door and locks it.

He smiles a side smile and holds his hand out. I take it and he squeezes it gently, and pulls me close to him. He kisses my forehead. His scent filling my nose, and my smile widens as he holds my hand.

We walk in and mark tells me to wait there. I stop and lean against a wall, and smile. Minutes later mark comes back with 2 pizza boxes. I smile and tilt my head a little and mark holds my hand again.

"You'll see." He says, and we get in the car. He places the warm pizza boxes on my lap as I put my seat belt on, and he starts the car and drives off, with his hand back on my thigh.

Suddenly the pizza scent catches my nose and I sniff the air.  "Mark... Can I have some ppizzaaaaaa." I whine as I look intensely at the box. "Nah, just wait." Mark smirks.

I grunt a little and stare out the window. "Where are we going?" I ask, looking around at the unfamiliar scenery.

"A surprise." Mark answers again with the shirt answer.

I grunt in reply and wait.

Minutes later we arrive at a whafe. Mark gets out of his car and comes to my side, opens the door and grabs the pizza. I get out and he holds my hand again and takes me to this long jetty that leads out into the ocean from about 100 metres from the shore.

Mark then leads me along the jetty as the glow of the afternoon sun faintly goes away as the stars shine out. He takes me to the end and we find a quiet spot, looking out into the water. Mark sits on the ground and I sit next to him. He opens the pizza boxes and I pinch a slice of my favourite slice.

Mark smiles and moves closer to me. "So..." Mark starts. I smirk and turn to him. "So." I smile.

I notice his tense look and I get a panicky feeling in my gut. I notice my mood drop and mark notices it too.

"Hey are you ok?" He says, touching me on my arm. I jump at the contact and I swallow hard. That tense look reminds me of the incident, what the look the person had. Ugh, even his name scares me.

Mark looks at me with worried eyes and I feel bad suddenly.

"I'm sorry..." I mumble. I can't explain to him why I just had that thing, i just can't.

Mark then says the words that I don't know how to answer to.

"Can you be my girlfriend?" He ask, holding my hands tight, as if I would run off the deck and dive into the water, which I felt like doing a moment ago.

My heart rate increases, and I get scared. I'm not over what happened, and I can't escape my problems.

"I-I'm sorry." I start. This is the moment I'm gonna lose someone special because of my past.

Then mark surprises me.

"Hey, it's ok, not yet then?" He smiles, pulling me into a hug. A few tears come down my face and I bury my head I to his shoulder.

I really like mark. And I really want to be his girlfriend. And I have strong feelings and he's just so gorgeous. Yet I'm so scared to be in another relationship again.

Yet, I just mentally can't. At least, not yet. Because I feel ontop of the world with him. Yet my past.

I blink back tears and sniff. Mark looks at me and reads my mind in a way.

"I know you've been through something, I can tell. Please know you can talk to me, and I will always be here for you. Talk to me when your ready." Mark assures me, and plants a kiss on my forehead. I smile again, and kiss his cheek. Marks smile returns too.
