How We Met #1 (Completed) ✔️

04

Y/N

We finally get to the hospital and he carries me in. Once we get in they almost immediately take me to get X-rays, once that's over with we find out that I broke my right arm, fractured my left ankle, left foot, and my right leg is bruised. So is my nose, but my nose isn't hurt too badly.

Marshmello said that he's going to stay with me until I'm better because I shouldn't be doing anything in the state I'm in.

Wow, who would have thought that I get to spend time with Marshmello of all things? Life really is good to me at the moment... did I do something? Is this the universe's sick way of tricking me?

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" He asks. He has to go record some stuff and he doesn't want to leave me by myself. He needs to remember to take care of himself too. I'll be fine on my own with some My Holo Love. It's the best K-Drama I've ever watched.

"Would it make you feel better if I had Hannah come over?" I ask him, holding in an eye roll.

"Yes, yes it would." He says with a worried tone. He worries too much. I've done just fine on my own with much worse wrong with me. I don't need anyone's help.

"Alright. I'll message her right now." I tell him, pulling out my phone.

"Okay." He says, sitting down beside me on the small couch.

"Don't you have to go?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Yes, but I'm not leaving until Hannah gets here." He shrugs. I can't see his face because of the helmet... but I'm pretty sure that he's smirking at the moment.

"Fine. Why are you doing this anyway?" I question, wanting to know why someone famous like him would spend his time helping someone like me.

MARSHMELLO

"Fine. Why are you doing this anyway?" Y/n asks me. I blush slightly, thinking of why I'm doing this for her.

"Umm......" I pause. "Because......." I sigh before continuing. "I really like you." I blurt out before I can even think of how to word it. She gasps. In that moment I want the ground to swallow me whole. I just hope that this won't make anything awkward.

"You like me?" She gives me a small smile.

"Yeah." I reply, biting the inside of my cheek.

Y/N

"I really like you." He says. I gasp before responding.

"You like me?" I give him a small smile, trying to contain my excitement. I don't want to scare him off or come on too strong. That would be a mistake on my part.

"Yeah." He replies, biting the inside of his cheek. He looks so nervous.

I lean over to him from my seat on the couch and hug him tightly.

"I like you too, I mean I REALLY like you." I tell him, blushing ever so slightly.

We hug for a while and I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I yell through the front door and in walks Hannah, all bright and bubbly as always.

"Hey, you can go now. But be back soon. She'll miss you." She tells Marshmello, giving him a stern look.

"Trust me... I know she'll miss me." He replies, getting up and stretching his limbs before turning to me, opening his arms up for another hug.

I hug him one last time and he leaves. I sigh once he's out the door and Hannah looks confused, raising an eyebrow as she crosses her arms.

"Okay, what am I not seeing here?" She asks, taking a seat beside me.

"Oh, he told me he likes me... and I told him how much I like him." I answer, feeling like it shouldn't be kept a secret to her. To everyone else, maybe, but never to my bestie.

"Oh... okay." She says. I begin to overthink, feeling like I did something wrong and annoyed her. Does she feel something for him? Should I not have told her anything? Maybe I had made a mistake... maybe if I didn't tell her she wouldn't sound so disappointed.

She sits down and we watch movie after movie. After that we talk for a while and she tells me how much she loves this singer named Plvtinum. I don't know who that is but good for her. She is going to a concert next Friday and she wanted me to go with her, but told her I can't because of my injuries.

"Marshmello said he'll be back in 30 minutes." She says. We had already spent about 5 hours talking and watching movies. She leaves just as he enters the house. As she passes by, she gives him a smile before exiting.

It's now 10:00PM and I'm heading to bed. Marshmello stops me, grabbing my wrist gently. We're standing at the bottom of the stairs as he peers into my eyes. "Since we confessed our feelings... I want to tell you something that none of my fans know." He tells me, finally taking his helmet off again after the long day of being out.

"What is it?" I ask, looking down at his long fingers wrapped around my delicate wrist. Thankfully, it's not the injured one.

"My name is Chris. Please don't tell anyone what my true name is. I've worked so hard to keep who I really am a secret. No one knows as of right now... I hope they don't find out. Paps can be hard to handle, however. I'm telling you this because you're someone special to me. I trust you with this information. I know this sounds silly... because in the end a name is just a name. But-" I press my index finger to his soft lips, smiling up at him. He's so tall...

"I understand, Chris. Your secret's safe with me. I won't tell a single soul. No need to explain yourself. No judgement when you're around me." I grin.

"You're too good to be true. You know that?" He sighs.

"No. Don't lie, Chris. I'm far from too good." I add a small chuckle to lighten my words so that they don't sound too harsh. The simple word 'no' sounds a little too harsh if I speak normally. I have a harsh sounding voice, even when I don't mean for it to.

"Sorry. No lies?" He holds his pinky up.

"No lies." I return, linking my pinky with his and pressing my thumb against his.

"Now are you going to let me kiss you good night, or will you leave without one?" He asks, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me closer to him. Our faces are now mere inches apart.

"Hmm. I don't know... I sure am tired." I fake a yawn, causing him to pout.

"What about... this?" He presses a quick peck on my lips, lingering there for a second, before pulling away. My lips tingle from the contact and an uncontrollable, goofy smile spreads across my face.

"Smooth." I chuckle, giving him a pat on the head before continuing my way up the stairs.

I may have fractured a few things... but tonight was the best night of my life. All thanks to Chris.
