marty discovers the future and falls in love with the female reader

- you met marty when he arrived from the past

- ...into your front lawn

- obviously your house wasn't built in 1985 so he didn't expect anything to be there

- your dad heard an almighty crash and ran into the yard, cursing and yelling at the now beat-up delorean

- marty apologised over and over and helped to push it back out to the road again

- meanwhile your mum felt sorry for him and thought it would be nice to have him stay while he went about fixing it up

- he hesitantly agreed but felt better when he saw you looking through the front window in confusion

- at least he got to spend his time in the future with a pretty girl

- he headed in behind your parents, who introduced you to him and told him to make himself comfortable

- he sat on the couch on the other side from you, taking his jacket off as he did so

- "sorry for crashing into your yard" he said awkwardly

- "it's okay" you smiled and turned on the tv

- his expression when he saw your large flatscreen was one of wonder and awe

- "wow, your tv... it's so, flat?"

- "of course?" you said, confused. "why, you never seen a flatscreen before?"

- "no, actually"

- you were obviously puzzled but agreed to hear him explain his situation

- but first you headed upstairs, in case your parents heard

- once in your room, he told you all about where he'd come from in the time machine

- you were unsure at first, but when he explained it all you decided it would be best to believe him

- he was glad you did

- so he continued to stay at your house for a week, where the two of you actually talked quite a lot

- he was closest person to your age in the neighbourhood so it made sense that you'd be good friends

- you got close pretty quickly, and he was of course attracted to you anyway

- you thought he was cute and it was hilarious and adorable when he got confused by all the things in the future

- by the middle of the second week of him staying, the two of you decided to just start dating to see where it took you

- there was a connection and marty wanted to act on it, in case he didn't come back to the future and see you again

- he didn't even wanna leave though!!

- he wanted to stay in the future with all the cool gadgets and cars and other stuff

- and most of all he wanted to stay with you

- he was always interested in the little thing you carried around everywhere

- "hey, y/n? what's that thing?"

- "this? it's my phone"

- "as in like a telephone?"

- "yeah. but you can do other stuff with it and you can carry it around wherever"

- he looked so shocked at the idea of a phone without cables that was so small

- "what else does it do?" he continued

- "shuffle over here and I'll show you"

- so he scooched over from his spot at the end of the bed and snuggled up next to you, wrapping his arm around your shoulder

- "you can use it to download apps, to play games or talk to people or take photos" you said then showed him all the different apps you had

- "you can text people instead of having to call them or send a letter" you sent a text to demonstrate

- "you can make videos, watch movies or listen to music"

- you opened spotify and played a song from the 80s that he'd know

- he recognised it instantly and looked so excited and shocked

- "you can play any song whenever you want? you don't need a cassette player!"

- he was absolutely bewildered

- "can we take a photo with it?" he asked

- you opened up your snapchat and turned the camera around so you could take a selfie with him

- "woahhh" he said, looking at your faces on the screen

- you smiled at it and he copied, so you took the picture

- it was so cute

- you took some more, like one with him kissing your cheek and one where you squished your faces up together

- and you took some silly ones with different faces and filters

- he looked so amused and happy in the photos so you saved one and put it as your lock screen

- "I can print them for you too if you want, then you can keep them when you go home again"

- oh yeah

- 1985...

- he'd forgotten about going home

- "but I don't wanna go home anymore!" he whined loudly, "the future is much better, plus you're here! I can't just abduct you back to the past"

- "I don't want you to go either, marty. but my parents won't let you stay forever. and surely your parents will be worried about you back in 1985?"

- "I don't care about all that, I just want to stay here with you a while longer. I'll only go when I absolutely have to"

- "okay." you sighed, a little upset but still glad he was going to stay longer

- "I'm glad you crashed into my front yard, marty mcfly"
