Over the course of the next few months of you living next door, you could feel your little celebrity crush from previous years grow into a real, solid crush on one of your best friends. You had appeared in many of his videos, and met loads of YouTubers you'd never even dreamed of being within ten feet of. And so when it came time for him to leave for IndyPopCon, you could feel a sadness in you. You wouldn't see Mark for a while. Sure, it'd be only a week, but before you'd never gone more than three days without going to his apartment or him coming over to yours.

It wasn't unusual for him to come fairly early in the morning, because he liked making you breakfast. So when a knocking on the front door disturbed you from your sleep, you knew it to be Mark.

"Y/N!" Your roommate called to you, presumably from the front room. "It's Mark!"

You groaned, not wanting to get out of bed yet. But the thought of seeing Mark was enough for you to roll out of bed. Still in your pajamas with your bedhead, you walked down to the hall to see Mark already rummaging through the fridge for eggs.

"Morning Sleeping Beauty." Mark said, then checked his watch. "Or should I say afternoon."

"You know, I can cook my own food." You yawned, sitting in a chair at the breakfast bar. His affectionate use of Sleeping Beauty made you blush ever so slightly.

"I know, but its fun to cook." He shrugged, turning on the stove.

You spotted slips of paper in his back pocket as he bent over to grab a lid from a cabinet underneath the stove. Why yes, you did look at his butt from time to time.

"Whatcha got there, Markimoo?" You asked. "In your pocket."

"Oh uhm, this year IndyPopCon allowed me to take a plus one, and I was actually wondering if you wanted to come with me?" He held one of the tickets out to you. "Airfare, hotel, everything is covered."

"A-are you serious?"

"Absolutely! There is no one I'd rather take than you, Y/N."

The sincerity in his voice made you break into a grin, and you launched yourself off the chair at him. Throwing your arms around his neck, you couldn't help but squeal a little bit with excitement. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you!"

"No problem." He chuckled. "And uh, one more thing?"

You let go of him to listen to him. "Yes?"

Wordlessly, he pulled you into him, pressing his lips against yours. It was incredible how your bodies seemed to fit perfectly together, and it was almost instinctual for your hand to get tangled up in him hair and for his fingers to just grace the hem of your sweatpants as he brought you closer to him.

"Oh jeez! Finally!" Your roommate scoffed loudly from the couch.

You laughed, breaking the kiss between you and Mark. "Shut up, Y/F/N!"
