In Love with a Criminal (Septiplier Story)

Ten

After a few hours of somewhat silent driving, they made it back to Mark's house. Going inside, Sean went to the guest room, setting his backpack down.

"I have to tell him.." He said. "I have to..it's making me even more nervous just thinking about it whenever I see him." He looked at himself in the mirror, seeing the nervousness in his eyes, his lightly red cheeks. Fixing his hair, he repeated the same words again when he stopped, seeing Mark standing there.

"Bad time?" He asked.

Sean shook his head. "No.."

His friend came in the room. "I was wondering if you wanted to play some Fortnite with me for a video."

He rapidly nodded. "Sure, yeah."

Now was the time, and he went up to him before he could leave the room.

"Mark...something's been on my mind for a while now since I came here."

He turned to face him, Sean's breath being taken away by his perfect brown eyes. "What is it?"

Taking a deep breath, he put his hands in his pockets. "Mark..I've uhh..." the words quickly came out as he looked down at the ground. "I have feelings for you.."

Mark was taken aback, his heartbeat picking up. "What'd you just say?"

Sean had the courage to gaze up at him. "I said..I have feelings for you..and I have for a while now...I was just too nervous to say it until now...I wanted to say it back when we were at Disney but anxiety got the best of me and.." He stopped, realizing he was rambling. "Sorry..."

Mark smiled at him, his hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about it." Keeping his eyes on him, he gestured downstairs. "Let's go play some Fortnite for a bit."

"O-Okay.." Sean said, following him downstairs to his recording room.

Closing the door, he watched Mark get everything set up, pulling a chair for Sean to sit down on. Seeing it was very close to him, he didn't care. Sitting down, they got situated before Mark turned on the camera, pressing record.

"Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier, and welcome back to Fortnite. Now I know it's been a while since I've played this but I finally decided to get back at it." He pointed at Sean. "And look who's with me! It's your favorite boy, JackSepticEye!"

Sean waved at the camera. "Hi everybody!"

Once the intros were out of the way, they played the game for a while, having a few good laughs that they needed.

Once they were all finished playing the game, Mark turned off the camera, deciding to edit the video tomorrow. Shutting everything off, him and Sean went upstairs.

Once they reached Sean's room, however, Mark suddenly shut the door.

"W-What're you doing?" He asked as he watched Mark slowly approach him.

Sean stood in the middle of the room, watching him slowly pace around him as if he's stalking his prey. He could smell the cologne on his shirt, a sudden butterfly feeling in his stomach as he noticed he moved closer, his arm brushing his, a feather light touch. Shivers went down his spine.

"You know...I've never been like this with someone." Mark said softly, his eyes scanning every inch of Sean. "But I can't help it after you told me how you felt..because.." He stopped on the side, leaning in close. "I would've said the same thing." He added, his voice vibrating through Sean's ears.

Wandering back around, he stopped in front of him, looking into his eyes. "I can't help but..think of you everyday..that smile of yours.." He took a half step closer, Sean's heart beginning to pound. "And that..adorable yet..perfect Irish accent you have." Another half step. "Every..." the corner of his mouth twitched. "inch...of you." Another half step, his breath hitting Sean's now bright red face. "It's impossible to stop thinking about all of it."

Hesitating a few times, he raised his hand, his fingertips touching his cheek. "Thinking about all of you."

Sean felt speechless, not exactly sure how he's going to top all of that. He just admitted that he likes him back. Maybe even loves him, but right now he had no idea, his thoughts scattered throughout his mind.

Mark's hand was still on his cheek, not even making a move to make it go away. The awkward silence still hung between them, each second getting more uncomfortable.

So Sean moved as close as he could, their bodies nearly touching. Gazing into his eyes, he slipped his hand around the back of his neck, hearing Mark's breath hitch.

Leaning up, he finally pressed his lips to his, giving him room to pull away. But when he didn't, Mark wrapped his arms around the small of his back, gently crushing him against his chest, the fire slowly rising up.

So this is what it felt like. To actually love someone other than family. It almost has a feeling to it as if Sean's suddenly free from the dark of his feelings that he's kept hidden for so long.

Mark suddenly had them up against the wall, his hands in his soft green hair. Sean let him do what he wanted, pulling him as close as possible, wanting to feel every inch against him. He felt Mark's hand wander down his side to his waist, his breath lightly hitching as his touch when Mark broke the kiss, still a breath away.

"Was that too much?" He whispered.

Sean immediately shook his head. "No. It wasn't."

Gently grabbing the back of Mark's head, he kissed him again, turning them around, Mark's back now against the wall. His palm rested against his chest, his heart rapidly beating underneath his fingertips. The kiss became more passionate, almost like they didn't want it to stop. Ever. It's like they wanted to keep this going forever. Just this. Maybe...maybe more than just this.

One of them made a small noise, but they didn't care who it was when Mark drew away again, both of them breathing heavily, his hands resting on either side of Sean's waist.

"I uhh...I'm sorry..." Sean said, his face practically tomato red.

"No no, Sean." He said with a light smile, grabbing his hand. "Don't apologize for this." He leaned a little closer. "I liked it."

The way he said sent shivers down his spine when Mark stepped away, checking his phone.

"Oh shit...I forgot to go run and do something." He said.

Sean turned to him, almost stumbling on his own two feet. "W-Where?"

Mark shrugged. "Just a couple errands." He gave him a reassuring look. "Don't worry. I'll be back soon."

Unable to say anything, Sean just nodded, watching him walk out the door, still starstruck about what just happened between them.

They finally kissed. No..it wasn't just that...it was like a full on freaking make out session, his lips still tingling from it. His heart was filled with joy, he started spinning around in circles, giggling like a little kid.

Flopping down on the bed, his smile was still there.

More coming soon ;)
