Hello Everyone! My name is TheGreen-EyedPsycho and welcome to my first ever Fanfiction! This is just an idea that came to me suddenly and I decided to run with it! I don't know if I'll continue this or not but if you read this and like it, let me know and I will continue to post more chapters, probably once a week because of school and other obstacles that life loves to throw at everyone.

Enjoy!

Mark POV

I stared blankly at the computer screen. All of my friends had just logged off for the night after playing PropHunt for several hours. What was I to do now? I couldn't go to sleep. That's when the dreams come. Such confusing, terrifying dreams. I shuddered just thinking about them. I decided to record one more video.

"Hello everybody! My name is Markiplier." I started. That's as far as I got when I heard a voice coming from downstairs. The sound brought a small smile to my face. It was Ethan. I heard his voice again, only this time, he seemed to be shrieking. I quickly shut off the recording, jumped up from my computer and ran downstairs to investigate.

When I arrived at the foot of the stairs, I found the small man standing on a stool and staring at the floor in horror.

"What happened?" I asked in a concerned voice.

"Oh my god, Mark! Thank god you're here!" He said in a relieved tone. "A Fucking huge spider just ran across my foot and I didn't know what else to do! I just freaked out!"

I chuckled in relief.

"It sounded like you were being murdered!" The relief I felt must have shown on my face. He stared at me for a moment. I began to blush. This isn't right. What's happening to me? Sudden conflicting feelings began to flash around in my mind. Ethan just looked so cute flustered and standing on the stool. I was suddenly pulled from my strange thoughts by a voice.

"Mark? Hello? Earth to Mark. A little help here?" Ethan was almost shouting.

"Sorry. Zoned out there for a second." He looked at me with a slightly confused expression.

"Are you going to help me or what?" He asked. "The spiders still out there and if we don't find it it's going to kill us all!" He over-dramatized.

"Yeah, I'll help. Where'd it go?" I asked.

"Under the cabinet." He spoke quietly. Ethan made no move to get off the stool. I was hit by a sudden realization.

"You're scared of spiders, aren't you? I asked. His face flushed bright red.

"Pfft no." He said in a defiant tone. I could see the fear in his eyes. He thought I was going to make fun of him.

"Don't worry. I won't tease you about it. It's okay if you are." I spoke quietly, avoiding eye contact. As I walked slowly over to the cabinet, I could feel his gaze burning into my back. I grabbed a cup and a piece of paper off of the counter and moved back toward the cabinet. The spider began to run out from under the cabinet.

"That really is a huge spider." I thought as it began to sprint across the floor. I managed to get the cup over it and it slammed against the glass of its new enclosure. I slid the piece of paper under the cup and stood up with the newly captive spider. I walked over to the sliding glass door and walked out into the warm summer air. I let the spider out and walked back inside. Ethan was still standing on the stool.

"Are you alright?" I asked. "Did it bite you?"

"I'm fine, just going to have nightmares now." He replied back.

"It's gone now. You'll Be okay." I said in a soothing tone.

"My hero." He replied while fake swooning.

"Why don't you come down from that stool before you fall?" I asked. He looked at me suddenly. I could see an idea flashing behind his eyes. He straightened up suddenly.

"Catch me." He said with a smirk and leaped from the stool.

"Holy shit!" I shrieked as I tried to catch him. He landed in my arms but the force knocked me backward and we ended up on the floor. After a few short moments, we began to giggle. We stayed like that for a few moments before we realized what was happening. Ethan was laying on top of me, his face mere inches from mine. Our giggling subsided and I stared up at his face. He stared back at me. In that moment, a thought struck me. Ethan was stunning.

"What's happening to me? Why do I feel this way? He's one of my best friends. Do friends think about each other this way?" I didn't think so.

Ethan cleared this throat, breaking the silence. He stood up slowly, a strange look in his eyes. He offered me his hand and I took it. He helped me up.

"Thanks for helping me with the spider," He said.

"No problem. I'll always help you if you need it." I spoke quietly.

"Good night Mark." He said softly.

"Good night Ethan," I replied in an equally soft voice. He began to walk away. I watched him walk and disappear around the corner. A thought struck me. I didn't want him to go.

"I love Ethan." The thought came suddenly and effortlessly as if it had been in the back of my mind for a while. I began to walk up the stairs, toward my room, suddenly exhausted. I crawled into bed with one thought playing through my mind the whole time as I drifted off to sleep

"Does he love me back?"

That night, no bad dreams came.
