History In Thoughts

WILL's POV

I hear Mark's voice from down the hall. "Come on Will, we gotta go. We can't be late for this."

I look around, making sure I have everything. I pick up my final bags and throw them over my shoulder. I leave your room and close the door. "Sorry, I got so busy making sure everything was packed for you, I didn't pack for myself."

I get to the door to see him standing there. He smiles at me. "You know, sometimes I think you take this job way to seriously."

I stick stick out my tongue, then pull it back in. "What ever. Now lets get going." I shove him out the door.

I lock our apartment, and head to my car, I put the last of my stuff in the trunk, and see Mark looking at me. He holds out his hand. "Mind giving me the keys?"

I smile at him. "I don't know. Can you handle the sheer nerdiness of the car? I think I should drive."

"OK, first off. I can totally handle it. Second, I know the way better."

I punch his arm. "Fine. You can drive." I give him the keys, and I ride shotgun. As he drives, I look out the window. My life has changed so much. In the last two years, and more.

Growing up, life was hard for me. Having my strong intellect, turned many people against me. It was a curse. Kids in school hated me because I skipped three grades ahead. My adoptive parents didn't care about me. All they cared about was their sports kid.

When I got older, I couldn't keep a job. I would rise through the ranks too fast, and the company would fire me. Some have even told me I was overqualified.

That led me to going online for jobs. I found one that was an internship slash assistant job. When I applied, I didn't know that I would work and live with the great Markiplier. Nor did I realize how much my life would change.

I jump slightly at Mark clearing his throat. He smiles at me. "What are you thinking about?"

"Just how much my life has changed. My life is so wonderful now. I feel as if my life means something. You aren't just my boss, but a caring friend. I have never had a friend before, and you are like the bestest friend I could ask for. I feel as if I can never repay you for what you have done."

He glances at me, then back to the road. "I know. I feel the same. You have helped me too. You don't see me as Markiplier, but as Mark. You help me run my channel, and keep things organized. And as my own thanks, once ComiCon is over, I am taking you out drinking. I may not drink anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't. I wish I could do it today, considering you turned 21. Happy Birthday, by the way."

I blush a little. "Thanks, but you don't have to do that."

"Its the least I can do. I mean, I don't pay you much for this job. And I won't take no for an answer."

"Fine." I sigh. I look out the window again as we pass a hotel. I get this weird feeling, almost as if I sense some kind of energy. When we drive past the building, the feeling fades. I shrug it off.

We drive for a few more minutes, then he puts the car in park. "Welcome to ComiCon. Where dreams of nerds come true." I look forward, and see a huge convention center.

I squeal with excitement. Mark looks at me weirdly. I look at him. "What? Just because I am smart, it doesn't mean I can't be a nerd. I have always wanted to come here."

We both get out, and start grabbing our gear. Once we are ready, we head inside.
