[(y/n)' pov]

I was woken up my Markus tapping on my shoulder, "(y/n), wake up, we have to grab your things." I yawned and peered out of the car window. College was starting back up soon and I didn't want a repeat of last year where I had to drive an hour every other day just to attend classes, since Markus lived closer to the campus we had decided that it would be better if I were to live with him. I got out of the car and stretched, I could hear my joints crack, "How long was I asleep for?" - "About an hour." Markus replied as he started walking towards the front door. I followed him but before he could knock I stopped him, "Remember, strictly friends infront of them." Markus sighed, nodded, then proceeded to knock. My parents weren't aware of our relationship, and from the way they talked about androids behind Markus's back, I honestly didn't want them to know, they were completely against the liberation of androids and deeply disturbed when they found out I was friends with one. As my parents opened up the door I could see the disappointment behind their eyes, but I ignored it, and put on a fake ass smile, "Hey, mom, dad, we're here for the last of my stuff." My dad nodded and walked off, most likely to drink and play his video games like he usually did, while my mom welcomed us into the house. "Oh, sweety, are you sure you want to move out?" My mom pleaded, she always did this, everytime Markus and I came to move my stuff. "I'm 100% sure, don't worry mom," I replied while going to my old room, "plus, it's 'bout time I move out." I laughed a bit and my mother gave me a weak smile.

"Wow," Markus said as we grabbed boxes, "your parents really don't like me." - "Well," I gave him a reassuring smile, "we won't have to deal with them much longer." While we grabbed boxes and loaded them into Markus's car my mom would make small comments, most having to do with androids, but some about how she didn't want me to leave, we ignored her, pretending she didn't just say something awful about androids right in front of Markus. Eventually we had gotten down to the last box, Markus picked it up, and we made our way out of the house, before I was able to walk out of the front door my mom stopped me, my dad was holding an old torn up cardboard box filled with various things from my childhood with my mom standing beside him, "If you're really leaving, don't forget these," my mom said as my dad handed me the box. I lightly smile and take the box from my dad. "Thanks," I say, I can see tears forming in the corners of my moms eyes. There's a moment of silence as I formulate the single worst idea I could ever come up with in my head. "There's something that I need to tell you guys," I can see Markus's concerned expression on his face out of the corner of my eye, "so, I'm hella gay." My mother gasped, "What about that sweet girl you dated in high school?!" I couldn't help but laugh, "Yeah, she's a lesbian, I was actually dating her brother, and she was kinda a cover up for it all," I felt obligated to tell them to burn the mattress after everything I've done on it, but I didn't want to overburden them with too much information, "it gets better though, not only am I hella gay, BUT, I'm also hellllaa fuckin' gay with Markus. OKCOOLBYEGUYS!" Before I could see their reactions I ran out the door, with Markus close behind, and hopped in the car, he got in a few seconds after me. As we sped off I heard my dad yelling various slurs at us, I couldn't help but laugh, Markus, however, kept his same concerned expression form earlier. "What," he was at a loss for words, "what just happened?" I had to calm myself down before I could respond, "Well, my parents were already gonna hate me for living with an android, so I thought, 'nyeh, fuck it, go big or go home!'" Markus let out a sigh mixed with a laugh, "Why are you like this?" - "I ask myself that exact question everyday." We sat in silence for a bit while I dug around in the old box that was sitting on my lap. "Oh shit boi," I pulled out my old game boy advance, it already had a cartridge inside, "Pokemon leaf green!" I turned on the device, which surprisingly was charged. While Markus drove the car I sat there playing the game, I had barely made any progress by the time we made it to his apartment.

It took some time to unpack all of my things in an orderly way, I brought the box with all of my childhood gaming consoles in last. I placed one of those old boxy T.Vs down on the floor and began setting it up. "What's that?" Markus asked. "It's a really old T.V from when I was a lil' kid," I replied while looking over towards him, he still looked confused, "I'm setting it up so I can use my old consoles with some extra nostalgia added." - "Need some help?" Markus said while sat on the floor next to me. "Yeah that'd be great," I handed him the AV cables, "here, plug these in." Markus had the most adorably confused look on his face, "What type of cables are these?" I just realized that AV cables basically became obsolete around 2015, so there was no way that Markus would know what they were. "Oh, um, those are audio/visual cables," I said while I plugged my Nintendo 64 into an outlet, "they go into the back of the T.V, it'll be obvious where they go when you look." Markus simply nodded and leaned over the T.V to plug the cables in. While he was doing that I rummaged through the old box and found two Nintendo 64 controllers along with F-Zero X. I plugged in the controllers and handed one to Markus, then, I placed the game into the slot, and turned it on. At first we were both horrible at the game, however, Markus quickly caught on, he would usually be in the top three while I would end up crashing, and dying.

We had been playing for about an hour before we both had gotten all of the fun we could out of the game. After Markus had turned off the Nintendo 64 I flopped onto my back and stared at the ceiling, it wasn't long before Markus laid down next to me, in a much more elegant fashion, and snuggled close to me. "Do you want to watch an old move," Markus asked as he looked up at me, "we could watch something from your childhood." I thought about it for a few seconds, it wasn't a bad idea, plus it could be a way for Markus to get to know me better.

[Markus's POV]

"That sounds like a great idea!" (y/n) says with a cheerful tone. "You set up the movie," I sit up and give him a quick peck on the lips, "I'll make some popcorn." As I stand up I see (y/n) look up at me with a light blush dusted across his face along with a half smile. While putting the popcorn in the microwave I hear footsteps walk up beside me and I feel (y/n)'s arm wrap around my waist. "Hey babe," my boyfriend says as he rests his head on my shoulder, "where's the remote?" I chuckle a little, "Did you check on the coffee table?" - "Yeah it wasn't there," I felt (y/n)'s head turn towards the living room, "oh, never mind, it's... right there... on the table..." Neither of us could contain our laughter, humans tend to overlook items they are looking for, but for some reason when (y/n) does it, I find it cute, in it's own way. "Thanks, Markus." (y/n) said as he kissed my cheek and walked back into the living room. A few minutes later and the popcorn is done, while I'm pouring it into a big bowl I hear some music that sounds like it could be from a spy movie. "Markus, hurry up the movie's starting!" I hear (y/n) call from the other room.

[(y/n)'s POV]

Markus walked into the living room and looked at me with his soft, loving eyes and sat down next to me on the couch. Soon after he placed the bowl down I snuggled up against him and pulled a blanket over us. "So," Markus said while wrapping an arm around me, "what are we watching?" I sarcastically scoffed, "Only one of the best movies from the early 2000s, The Incredibles." I feel Markus laugh a bit. A bowl of popcorn and half a movie later, I begin feeling tired, it had already been a long day and I'm not sure I could stay up through an entire movie. I yawn and let my mind slowly drift off while I my head was resting on Markus's chest.

[Markus's POV]

I wasn't paying attention to the movie at this point, (y/n) had fallen asleep on me and I was studying his face, every little blemish was something more to love about him. With all of the stress in his life right now, it was nice to see him in a fully relaxed state for once. I stopped the movie and carefully picked (y/n), so I wouldn't wake him, and carried him to my bedroom. I, somehow, managed to put him under the blankets without him waking up, and I laid down next to him while holding him close. Before I went into sleep mode I ran my fingers lightly throughout his hair. "Goodnight, babe." I said while I kissed his forehead, and fell asleep.
