Unexpected Love (Markiplier X Reader)

The Best Medicine

Slowly my eyes flutter open, and my heart feels like it skips a beat as I realized where I was. I was back in the hospital once more. My heart then sank at the realization and I frown a little before looking over to see Mark beside me, just smiling. At least I wasn't injured this time, I think. I looked over my lips to insure nothing had a cast on it and he chuckles.

"Don't worry, not even a scratch." He speaks softly and leans over, kissing my cheek gently. "Tom caught you before you hit the ground." He adds

Speaking of Tom, I glance around seeing no one else in the room. Mark must have noticed. "He went to go get Mom."

My eyes widen "No, please she can't see me like this." I half beg being completely serious despite the hoarse voice.

"Ssshh it's fine, it'll be fine. You're going to be in here a day or two." Hearing that I frowned and teared up a bit. I didn't want to be here, in the hospital yet again. Thanksgiving was in three days, his mom is going to hate me for this.

"Day..or two? How is that fine?!" I was starting to panic and this made the heart monitor beep a little bit.

"Sssh, babe, please calm down. You're going to be okay, your blood sugar was just really really low." Gently he rubs my arm and I relax a little bit, that's when I realized how sore my body felt and I didn't know why. This surely didn't help me clam down any, if at all.

I lay there in silence, looking over at Mark and getting lost in his gorgeous brown eyes. I could see the worry he tried to hide, but the love he had for me over shadowed it by far and I couldn't help but smile. "I love you." I whisper, getting a smile out of him.

"I love you too." he whispers back, it was the perfect moment to kiss but we were pulled from the moment with a knock on the door. It snapped us from it, but we didn't look away only smiled like idiots for a moment longer.

"You're awake!" I recognized Tom's voice and chuckled a little bit before looking ot him.

"That I am, thank you for catching me." I reply and get a little hug from him. Looking from him I noticed her, their mom and my smile only grew more.

Setting the flowers aside she moved right for me and gave me a hug, in which I gratefully returned to the best of my ability. "Mark Edward, you're supposed to be taking good care of this beautiful young lady." were the first words that left her mouth and I couldn't help but giggle.

Mark looked shocked yet ashamed, he really did take good care of me, I was just stubborn most of the time. "But...I am.. I have been." He tries to argue but shuts up when she gives him the look that all mothers give when they weren't buying what their child was saying.

I chuckle a little before covering my mouth to cough some, my throat was so dry. Mark reaches over again and gently takes my hand.

"It's my fault, I focus more on making sure he's eating and staying healthy that I neglect myself." I speak up after a moment. "I didn't this morning...or much of anything yesterday. My nerves were all over the place."

"She actually got sick last night when she tried to eat." Mark adds.

"What on Earth were you nervous about?" She questions and Mark gives her a look.

"Meeting you.." I admit and blush a little bit out of embarrassment. She smiles a little and runs her fingers through my hair.

"You have no need to be, Mark has talked about you so much, that I feel like I already know you." Her smile grows some, and my nerves are put at ease, I was worried over nothing. Or was she just being nice because I was in the hospital.

A sigh of relief escapes me and we all give a little chuckle, that's when she moved to the foot of my bed to sneak a peek at my chart that was there. That's when I remembered that Mark told me she was a nurse.

"Uhg...I'm so sore." I groan as I shift a little bit. "Why am I so sore?" I ask and look to Mark who glanced to his mother.

"Well, just after we got you in, you had a seizure." Mark admits, looking more worried. I was shocked at that and I blinked a moment before thinking a little bit.

"Were my glucose levels really that low?" I question, this issue was common in my family so I knew a little bit about it, it just all happened so fast for me that I didn't catch the symptoms in time. He nods and I sigh a little bit. That's when the doctor came in to check on me.

He was happy to see I was awake, and checks everything over, asking me how I felt and everything. It turns out that I'm hypoglycemic, and my glucose levels had been extremely low though my body had still been producing insulin, which wasn't supposed to be happening with glucose levels that low. In the end they wanted to run more tests which meant I was stuck in the hospital yet again, I clearly wasn't happy about this. When the doctor left I teared up a little.

"I'm so sorry.. I ruin everything." I say only for everyone to reassure me that I hadn't.

"Don't stress over it, we'll move back thanksgiving if we have to." Momiplier says with a smile.

"Oh no, I'd hate to do that to you all." I begin to argue but I too get the look which I knew meant resistance was futile. In that moment I truly felt like part of the family, and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

After a while, Tom took their mom back home, and just left Mark and I together which was rather nice. I had a good time with everyone despite laying in a hospital bed, and it just felt nice to be accepted. A bit later I'm taken away for them to run some more tests, and an ultrasound. Come to find out they were looking for any abnormalities on my pancreas, which came out to be perfectly normal and I was thankful. They thought there may have been a tumor and just wanted to rule that out, in which they did.

Once back in my room Mark was right by my side once again. We end up watching some pretty bad movies on TV. In which one point I scooted over some and he kicked off his shoes and climbed into my bed. I just really needed to cuddle, it always made me feel better.

Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep in Mark's arms. Now that is the best medicine.
