Unexpected Love (Markiplier X Reader)

Home

A few days pass, my condition improves and they finally let me have actual water. I also had my NG tube removed which was a blessing. It wasn't any fun at all, and even Mark knew that, he sympathized with me on it. I was able to eat actually food now, and despite hospital food being generally terrible the pudding was amazing.

When we were finally alone, a few of the topics we'd been avoiding were finally brought up.

"So, exactly what were the burglars after? I never asked anyone." Mark asks as he steals a bite of my pudding.

"Money, they were looking for money. They honestly didn't think anyone was home." I reply, I wasn't too mentally scarred by the incident. I hadn't actually been attacked or anything, it was my own clumsiness that got me in the hospital.

"Why you though?" He asks, and I figured he hadn't figured it out yet.

"Because...before I moved to LA... I won the Powerball jackpot. I'm a millionaire." I admit and look away timidly, hoping he wouldn't think of me differently.

"Wait, really?" He blinks and seems to get lost in thought. "Wait wait." he pulls up something on the iPad before he grins. "Ya know, I knew I recognized you from somewhere." Mark states and shows me an online article, in the picture I was smiling quite happily. "That smile, it was always familiar." he hums and leans in to steal a soft kiss.

My heart warmed at that, and I found it interesting he didn't mention the money. As if he could read my mind he spoke up. "I don't think of you any differently, and I don't expect more out of you because of your wealth. You're still the amazing, beautiful woman I fell in love with. No amount of money you have is going to change that."

His words made me smile widely and melted my heart. "Awe, you're so sappy. I love you so much Mark." I smile and he leans in once more, kissing me softly and sweetly.

"I love you too, (y/n). Now and forever." He gives me his sweet loving smile. I couldn't help but smile back happily.

We share a few more mushy moments and sweet kisses, before he pulls away. We sat quietly for a bit, watching whatever was on TV. After a bit something came to mind and it bugged me.

"I'm..sorry." I say softly, with what was on my mind I couldn't bare to look at him.

"For what, love?" There was confusion in his voice.

"For..the baby. Losing it.." I nearly whisper.

Mark takes my hand gently, his other moving to place fingers under my chin gently. Carefully he turns my head and I look up at him with tear filled eyes. "Hey now, don't cry and don't be sorry. It happens..." he voice cracked a little. "We have plenty of other chances in the future. We'll have another when the time is right."

Biting my lip I close my eyes a moment, he was completely right. Besides, having a child now, that just wouldn't work out very well, not with his carer, and mine just barely taking off. While I felt guilty about it, part of me didn't at all, part of me was relieved. Maybe it was because I hadn't even known, maybe because I know I'm just not ready for that step of my life.

"Chin up, love. Everything is alright, everything will work out." His voice was closer and I opened my eyes to see his face just inches from mine, gazing into his eyes I couldn't help but smile alittle.

"You're right." I finally answer and I kiss him lovingly, and sincerely.

A few days later I was released from the hospital, and into Mark's care. He, Darren and a few of Mark's friends help get things situated at the house. Repairs had thankfully been made, and my home insurance had covered them completely. I never thought it would feel so good to be home, walking through the door felt amazing. Looking around, it was like nothing had ever happened, aside from the masses of flowers, balloons, stuffed animals and get well cards. Immediately I tear up, a smile on my face.

"Oh my, who..who are they from?" I question as I move to look at some.

"Friends, family, fans." He states as I'm just left in awe. There were bit of fanart that were parts of get well cards. A few hand made plushies that made me smile widely.

"Wow, I just. I'm speechless." I chuckle and look around. "But how?"

"Weeeeeell, the other day when you had all those tests and stuff that they didn't want me around for. I planned a little impromptu something or other. Kinda of a teeny tiny thing. Pretty much, the Grumps helped me set up this thing where fans could bring stuff and such, some even mailed things in." He admits and smiles.

My eyes widen and I look around. "This isn't teeny tiny babe. What am I going to do with all these flowers?"

"Admire them?"

I chuckle, "Actually I might have an idea."

"Oh?" he raises a brow.

"Mhmm, I'd like to donate some to maybe some old folks homes, and people in the hospital who don't have any family." I smile.

Mark beams and kisses me softly. "That is a brilliant idea." he says proudly.

"I'm glad." I return the kiss a moment later.

"Soo, I should make a video." I state.

"No, you need to rest, settle back in to your home." Mark half demands.

I pout a bit, "But but, I need to thank everyone."

He shakes his head. "No, it can wait, they can wait a little longer."

I pout even more and stomp my foot. "Fine! But I'm gonna be difficult!" I say and try not to laugh but ultimately I fail.

"Come on, let's get you comfy, and then get food into you and it's nearly time for your meds." He says and gently pushes me to the stairs.

"Fine fine, I'm going." I chuckle and head up to the room, Mark was right behind me and I knew he was making sure I didn't fall. I was too by gripping the railing pretty tightly.

The sling I had to wear was a major pain in the ass so Mark actually had to help me undress, and dress. I was impressed he managed to behave himself, he was taking caring for me rather seriously and it was rather cute. He helps me pull up my pajama bottoms before stealing a soft kiss. My heart flutters and I giggle a bit.

"Mmm, you're kisses make everything better." I hum softly and steal a few more back. "Thank you so much for your help." I say softly.

"I wouldn't want to be doing anything else." He says with a smile. "Now~ do you wanna get comfy in bed or the couch?"

"The couch please, I've had enough of sitting in a bed all day." I say a bit exaggerated, it gets a chuckle from him. I grab a pillow and my favorite cuddling throw blanket and Mark promptly takes them from me, to carry them for me.

Moments later we were back downstairs and he was doing everything he could to make sure I was completely comfortable. It was adorable and only made my love for him grow even stronger.

We end up ordering take out and binge watching a show on Netflix, just enjoying being together like this. I felt like the luckiest woman in the world.

I end up falling asleep on the couch, my meds had made me drowsy. It was actually really comfortable as the couch hand a recliner built on on each end, so I was super comfy and kicked back.

When I awoke, it was dark but the TV was still going. Blinking I look around and see Mark fast asleep beside me. I smile as I watch him for a bit, he was so handsome, yet adorable and innocent looking when he slept. Finally he was getting some sleep, I knew he didn't' get much with me in the hospital, but now that I was home, he seemed to really relax. It wasn't long before I ended up dozing off once more.
