The Blackout - Sohinki x Mari
Sohinki and Mari banged helplessly on the steel plated door, hoping that someone would hear them. However as time went on, the pair gave up and settled down for a bit. They both sat down in their tiny cage and recollected their thoughts on how they got stuck here.
*About 1 hour ago*
Sohinki was finishing up some work with Jovenshire and Lasercorn. Sohinki wasn't focused on his work as he was looking over at Mari, who was playing peacefully on Minecraft. She recreated her old world from the very first Maricraft episode named oh so maturely 'Buttparty'…because Buttparty. "Bro, are you checking out Mari?" Lasercorn whispered to Sohinki. "What?! No dude. Just trying to think of what we need for this script." Sohinki said quietly to the others. "I dunno man, you seem to be eye banging her." Joven said. "I'm not eye banging her, let's just focus on this script." Sohinki said, evading the subject.
Within half an hour the three managed to finish the script and just in time as everyone was signing off for today. Sohinki walked alone to the elevator, pulling out his phone and checking his social media. He was reading a funny tweet from Markiplier when he heard someone running to the elevator. "Hold the door! Hold the door!" Mari yelled. Just like human nature Sohinki opened the door for Mari and let her in, although now Sohinki was nervous about having Mari in the same elevator as him.
It was no secret between Sohinki, Joven and Lasercorn that Sohinki had a thing for Mari. Sohinki loved her tomboy attitude, her crude humour, but he also loved how elegant and graceful she can be whenever she's doing ballet. Sohinki fell for Mari fairly hard, but he never admitted his feelings for her, out of fear that she'd reject him. He did let his feelings slip in some videos however and the two became a perfect pair ever since, fangirls cried for Marhinki to be real as they noticed every time he let his feelings slip through the cracks. The pressure of pursuing the girl he loves is hard enough without the millions of fans wanting this to happen, he feared the fans would riot if Mari ever broke up with him and the channel would be so divided that he'd lose one of his closest friends.
Sohinki tried his hardest not to focus on Mari and rather that Markiplier tweet he was reading before. "Hey Matt, is the light supposed to flicker like that?" Mari asked, Sohinki put his phone away and examined the light. It went out and in almost no time, the entire elevator stopped. The lights went out all at once and the pair fell onto the ground. "I'm gonna say that's not normal." Sohinki said.
"Wait, are we trapped here?" Mari asked. "Oh shit!" Sohinki exclaimed, he ran over to the door and started banging on it. "Hey! HEY! Somebody help us! We're trapped!" Sohinki yelled. Mari thought it was pointless but joined in and tried to help. "Anyone! Wes, Anthony, Ian, Joven! ANYONE! We need help!" Mari yelled.
*Present time*
Sohinki and Mari banged helplessly on the steel plated door, hoping that someone would hear them. However as time went on, the pair gave up and settled down for a bit. They both sat down in their tiny cage and recollected their thoughts on how they got stuck here.
As they sat down, the emergency lights came on. It was dim, but they could see. They both saw that the elevator stopped halfway, half of the door lined up with the elevator.
Sohinki had a plan instantly pop into his head, he looked up and saw some grates that he could move. He got up and immediately started to move the roof grates, Mari got up and was slightly confused by what was happening. Nevertheless, she tried to help. "Ok, 1…2…3!" They both counted, they jumped up simultaneously and nudged the grate. Just when they landed the elevator started rocking. "1…2…3!" They both counted, the grate got halfway up but came down again. The elevator started to shift, slightly sinking. "Oh shit, let's hope this thing holds one more time." Sohinki said.
"1…2…3!" They counted, they hit the grate and it opened up an exit for them, Sohinki climbed up first and then pulled Mari up. The elevator tilted again, Mari lost her balance and nearly fell off. Sohinki, with his cat like reflexes caught her before she fell off the elevator. "Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Thanks Sohinki!" Mari said. Sohinki managed to wedge his fingers in the door and with all his might, the doors opened for him. "Alright, you go first Mari." Sohinki said, keeping the doors open as she crawled her way through the tight opening. The elevator shifted again and Sohinki nearly lost his balance, Mari got something to wedge the door open. Sohinki got into position, but at that moment the elevator's emergency brakes broke and the whole thing collapsed. Sohinki nearly fell but was grabbed by Mari before he plummeted with the elevator. "Thanks Mari, I owe you one." Sohinki said, grateful for Mari's quick thinking. "No worries Sohinki." Mari said, pulling him into the current floor.
The pair looked around, the emergency power was on. The room was dimly lit and no one was around, the place was empty. "Are you okay?" Mari asked, concerned. "Yeah, how about you?" Sohinki asked. "Yeah I'm fine. Am I glad you were with me, holy crap!" Mari exclaimed. "So what do we do now?" Sohinki asked Mari, the pair sat down and tried to think of something to do. "I suppose we could talk for a bit." Mari suggested. Sohinki wasn't keen, but he couldn't resist Mari, so he went along with it and they talk for a long amount of time. Which eventually lead to an important question. "So what were you and the boys talking about up there?" Mari asked. Sohinki started to blush slightly and began to feel nervous. "Oh you know, guy stuff." Sohinki said.
"Really? Because your cheeks suggest it's more than 'Guy stuff'. It's about a woman!" Mari teased, she meant it in a friendly manner but she realised how cruel it sounded. "So who's the lucky girl?" Mari asked. "It's no one. You probably don't know her." Sohinki said, evasively. "Ooh so it is someone we know. Is it Courtney? Olivia?" Mari asked, poking into a private area. "It's-It's you, Mari." Sohinki admitted, Mari was struck silent, her face displayed a shocked expression. "You love me?" Mari asked, still shocked. "Since the moment I laid my eyes on you." Sohinki admitted again. "Come here." Mari said, Sohinki obeyed and got closer to Mari. She stood him up and pulled out her phone, she scrolled through some sort of app and found something she was looking for. "Perfect." She muttered to herself. "Mari you do realise we have no service here, right?" Sohinki asked, however Mari's attention never broke from her phone.
She put her phone on a table nearby and a soft, slow ballad started playing from her phone. Sohinki took the hint and grabbed Mari's hand. "Milady, would you care for a dance?" Sohinki asked in a bad British accent. "Why Lord Sohinkington, I would be honoured." Mari replied in an even worse British accent.
It was like a movie scene, the guy and the girl slow danced to a song in an intimate, dimly lit room. He took the lead and looked straight into her eyes, she looked back and the connection between them became so much stronger. The kiss happened like it was in slow motion, the two lips met and the two tongues danced between each other as Sohinki and Mari danced to the final chords of the song.
The night ended with Sohinki dipping Mari and kissing her again. "You certainly know how to treat a woman right." Mari said, dazed but enlightened by the experience. "I'm lucky to have such a beautiful, radiant woman to treat right." Sohinki replied, adding an odd but smooth charm to his voice. The dancers kissed again under the returning bright lights of the office.
