HUSH (Darkiplier x Reader)

•Love•

I heard a knock at the door. Soft and low but still loud enough to pick up. It echoed through my silent house and my body stiffened as my mind raced with who the stranger could be. I slowly sat up and pulled a hoodie on as I walked downstairs cautiously. I grabbed a knife from the kitchen as I made my way to the door.

"W-who is it?" I called out while grasping the door knob and holding my breath.

After a short pause a man answered.

"Hey it's mark, you haven't texted so I came to see how you were doing.." he said sweetly with depth in his voice.

"Oh" I sigh slowly as I put the knife on the table by the door and open the door slowly, carful to see that it's actually mark and not an imposter.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to intrude or anything I was just worried.."  Mark said with caring eyes and a smile, holding a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates.
"No,no! It's okay! You aren't intruding I was just cleaning upstairs before you knocked. Are these for me?" I asked
"Oh yes! I didn't know what kind of chocolate you liked go I just got dove. Is it okay if I come in?" Mark smiled and held out the roses and chocolates to me.
"Of course!" I smiled.

We walked into the kitchen where I could prepare a vase for the roses. I looked at the petals and admired them thinking of their beauty and how life as a flower must be. I quickly raced out of my thoughts and quickly looked at mark and smiled.
"Thank you"

"Don't thank me. A woman as beautiful as your self deserves nice things." He stated with a chuckle and a wink. I blushed and walked over to him trying not to look dumb from the butterflies he just gave me.

"So what made you wanna check on me?" I questioned him while playing with my jacket string.

"Well you haven't texted or called and I thought our date went well, so I figured I could show up with flowers and chocolates and hope for the best!" He said while fiddling with his thumbs and looking down.

My heart rate suddenly sky rocketed. I had to give this man an answer right now. I have to tell him yes or no. But I can't say no, I've already accepted his gifts! That would be rude! But I don't think I'm quite ready to say yes, especially with everything going on.. I feel like I need to be by myself for a minute before jumping into a relationship. But what do I say?
I glanced down and then back up to him.
"How does dinner tomorrow night sound?" I asked with a smile.

"That sounds spectacular!" Mark beamed with joy. "Where would you like to go?"

"Well, how about....." I paused. "The rain tree!" I smiled proudly. "On me this time!" I added.

"I can't wait!" He smiled and sighed. "Well I should be going I have work at 5pm and it's already 4." He trailed off looking sad.

"Okay mark it's a date! I'll text you the details!" I said to him as we walked to my door. "And hey don't be sad okay? Well see each other soon." I smiled.

"Bye, (y/n)" mark waved.

"Bye!" I waved with him.
