Stay With Me (Markiplier x Reader)

Chapter 4

Mark's POV

Once we landed, we got our luggage and make our way to my car. I put the bags in the trunk and hop in the driver's seat. I only live about 15 minutes from the airport, so the ride wasn't long. We continued talking the whole way there though. She was really interesting. I could talk to her forever. The initial awkwardness has long faded and I almost feel as if I've known this girl for years. It's a great feeling.

I'll admit, I get lonely sometimes. Being a famous YouTuber, it's hard to find someone to tell my secrets to. Most girls are just crazy fangirls. Granted (f/n) is a fangirl, but she was only a little crazy when she first saw me. I've had crazier experiences with them before. Random girls coming up to you and kissing you in the middle of a store or somewhere else may sound nice, but when I'm trying to find a real girlfriend it's not something I like. I'm sure they're all great girls, but I want someone I can really connect with.

We pull into my apartment complex and I help her get her luggage out of the trunk then I get my own. I escort her to my place and unlock the door. I hold it open for her as she walks in. She looks around in amazement, "you seem really impressed with my place. It's not that great." I look around at the blank white walls. Since I'm only renting the place, I can't paint or hang up pictures.

Your POV

Wow, I'm in Markiplier's apartment. You're astonished. How did you end up here? "Are you kidding, this is amazing," you say to him. He walks over to you and takes your bags upstairs. You follow behind.

He notices you behind him and sparks up a conversation again, "so how did you forget to find a place to stay?" "I'm not really sure. I remembered everything else except the most important thing," you feel really dumb, especially now. Mark is very intelligent, that's a well known fact, and you've forgot about one of the most important aspects of survival.

"Then it's a good thing I ran into you and you fainted then, otherwise you'd be out on the streets," he smiles at you. You find yourself staring at his beautiful smile without even realizing it. "You okay?" he asks. You shake your head, forcing your brain back to reality, "Sorry," you say shyly, starting to get embarrassed. He walks over to you, still smiling. "What are you smiling about?," you ask him, just barely looking up from the ground. You feel the redness in your cheeks, you don't want him to notice.

Mark's POV

She's blushing, that's adorable. Snap out of it Mark, you hardly know her. "Nothing," the smile never leaving my face. She's still looking down at the ground. I place a finger under her chin, making her look up at me. She tries to avoid eye contact, but I manage to capture her gaze. Those big, beautiful blue eyes staring up at me like a little puppy. I can't resist anymore. I lean in, then I stop myself. I'm not even sure if this is what she wants. If it is, then she'll come the rest of the way. It wasn't until now that I realize I'm holding her face in my hands, "you don't mind do you?" I feel her soft hands gently place themselves on my neck, that's when my cheeks began turning red.

Her eyes locked on mine. "Just kiss me already, ya big goof," she said laughing. I close the gap between us. The second our lips meet I feel the magic in the air. I wish this moment could last forever. I can almost hear the fireworks as time stands still for just a moment. In that instant, I knew exactly how I felt about her.
