No More Obstacles When I'm With You. | Markus x Reader |

At 6 pm, Markus came back home. My dad was doing some paperwork by the TV, probably searching for the officers in files. I fell asleep in my bed with book on my chest. I was half asleep so I knew that someone stepped into the room, it must have been Markus but I was too sleepy to check. Then, I heard a soft chuckle coming from him.

His steps were closing to my bed as I felt blanket slowly covering me. He put his hand on my cheek and stroked it gently.

,, Thanks for having my back through all this time. " he whispered to not wake me up.

I slowly opened my eyes as I smiled at him with my sleepy expression.

,, Always, Markus. " I looked him in the eye.

He looked surprised to see me awake, but immediately broke to smile.

,, I'll always be by your side, Aly. "

I sat on my bed. We looked to each other's eyes as we were facing each other.

He was so handsome. Even though I was probably looking like a mess on the other hand. Staring to his eyes that were different eye color each and that were probably analyzing my features.

,, I always will be by your side. " I smiled.

,, Want to head outside for some fresh air with me? " Markus offered as he turned his head outside to see what the weather was like.

,, Sure. " I smiled at his offer as I slowly got up.

He supported my body as he stood up with me.

At this point it was dark outside and it was snowing when we headed out. I was wearing a thick black jacket with red scarf. Markus was wearing his usual jacket, and as we were walking beside each other, I pointed it out.

,, Markus, Christmas are gonna arrive soon, do you want me to buy you a new jacket? " I wrapped my arms around his one.

He looked down at me, since I was one head smaller than him. He smiled gently.

,, All I wish for Christmas is you to be happy. " he said which made my heart skip a beat.

I huffed with laughter.

,, Then that means you have to be with me all the time. " I leaned my head on his shoulder playfully.

I could see his eyes spark with happiness.

The wind suddenly grew stronger and the snow started to fall a bit faster than before. We both looked up at the sky because of the sudden change. After deciding that I've seen enough of that, I looked at Markus who was still looking up. The street lights illuminated on his face as he was looking up.

At that moment I've realized I was in love with him. It took me some time to figure it out though. I smiled to myself.

As we were walking side by side, he stopped in his tracks which made me stop as well.

,, What's up? " I asked, curiously.

He looked at me: ,, I don't know if this is the best time to say this, but since I'm in the charge, we're gonna infiltrate the TV Detroit tower. " he said, not sure how I will react.

What? Was he being serious right now? That's one of the most dangerous things that could get him killed since he has no authorization! If they would find out, it could be his end and I can't let it lead to that.

,, Markus, you can get yourself killed if they find out! " I said, shock written all over myself.

He was probably waiting for me to finish my scolding.

,, You are going to do it anyway, right? " I looked at the ground.

,, Yeah.. " he said with a low voice.

I sighed, I looked up at him again.

,, Alright.. Have it your way, Markus. But you must know how worrying this is for me. You know that you're my everything now. "

,, Thanks, Aly. You're all I have left as well. " he smiled as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

We continued the walk. But then a thought crossed my mind.

,, What are you gonna do with the receptionist? She's right at the entrance. "

,, Have you been there? " he asked curiously.

,, I've been there with school. " I said thoughtfully.

He looked at me, not knowing where this was going.

,, Markus, I could help you distract the receptionist. " I said.

,, No way, Aly. I can't involve you in this. " he said, cautiously.

,, I have nothing better to do. And it's gonna appear so natural, I promise. I won't expose anyone. " I pleaded.

He really didn't like the thought of me being involved but luckily I was able to convince him.

,, Alright. " he gave up on my persuading.

I felt my smile widen.

,, Thank you thank you!!!  " I hugged him tightly with excitement.

He laughed at my childish celebrating.

I looked at the sky as the street lights lightened up even more.

,, Markus, look!  It looks like a----"

But suddenly he pulled me close to him as he kissed me softly, making me shut up.

Once we have separated, I was looking at him with shock. It was my first kiss and it was with Markus, I couldn't have been more happier. I felt my tears form in the corner of my eyes as I hugged him tightly.

,, What a way to make me shut up. " I laughed to myself.

,, I love you, Aly. " he said gently as he looked at me.

I felt my tears spill as I smiled from happiness.

,, I love you, too, Markus. " I said with shaky voice as we kissed again.
