IMAGINE — THE CLOUD 9 EMPLOYEES TRYING TO HOOK YOU AND JONAH UP.
NON REQUESTED
YOU stood up from your chair, raising your voice over everyone’s chatter all at once. “Would you guys quit playing cupid for once?” you exclaim. “You can’t just force me and Jonah to date. We’re just coworkers.”
“Why not?” Cheyenne asks. “You two are literally the same person with the same brain cells. Both annoying with dolphin clear skin.”
“And besides, everyone here has hooked up with one another.” Dina glances over at Garrett, almost like what they’ve done was regrettable for both of them.
Jonah intervenes at the front. “I think what y/n is trying to say is that pairing us up isn’t a good idea! It’ll just affect the workplace and our performance.”

Baby Carriage - Yandere!Jonah Simms x reader (part 2)
part one linked here
summary: after being blackmailed into marriage with Jonah, you surprisingly enjoy being with him. but what happens when a baby is added to the mix?
warnings: mentions of forced marriage, birth control tampering, creepy!Jonah, sex, pregnancy
Tumblr media
After the honeymoon, you moved in with Jonah immediately. It wasn't necessarily by choice, but you'd returned from the trip to find your apartment empty and everything you owned had already been moved into Jonah's apartment.
The longer you spent with your new husband, the more you fell in love with him. Part of you figured this had been his plan all along, but you really did get along well. Even working together hadn't hindered your marriage. Well, except for the fiery jealousy of Cloud 9's single women.
Speaking of work, Jonah doted on you all day and treated you like a queen. He made your lunches, gave you your vitamins and even tracked your cycle for you.
So, it wasn't a shock to Jonah when you were late only two months after you had gotten married. It was Jonah's plan all along: even though he acted like a feminist, he secretly wanted you all to himself.
Jonah was tired of Cloud 9 customers hitting on you and giving you their numbers. Didn't they know you were only being nice because it was your job? But not for long, because being a mother would be your only job from now on.
--
It had, by all means, been a very normal day at Cloud 9 so far. Marcus did something dumb, Amy was pissed, Glenn was trying to help, and everyone else was just getting through the day. But alarm bells were ringing in your mind.
Today was supposed to be the first day of your period. Of course, you had been late before, but you hadn't actually had a reason to be concerned. But you and Jonah had sex ALL the time, almost daily. And sure, Jonah gave you your birth control every morning, but it wasn't 100% effective.
"Cheyenne," you say under your breath as you approach the jewelry counter, "how did you know you were pregnant?"
She looks over at you, wide-eyed, "oh, uh, I think I just noticed I was getting fatter. Why? Do you think you might be--"
"Shh! Not so loud. I-I think I'm late, but I'm scared to take a test," you confess, biting your cheek.
"Ohmigod yay! Harmonica can be besties with your daughter!" Cheyenne says excitedly, clapping her hands as a big smile spreads across her face.
"I don't even know if I'm pregnant, let alone if it's a girl!" you say as Cheyenne exits the jewelry counter and whisks you away towards the family planning aisle.
--
It feels like an eternity, but it only takes three minutes for the two pink lines to show up on your SuperCloud-branded pregnancy test.
You and Cheyenne, both huddled in the handicap stall, staring down at the positive test. It was true, you and Jonah had created new life.
"Oh my god. Oh my god, Cheyenne, what do I do? Jonah and I have only known each other for four months, a-and we work at Cloud 9!" you sniffle, panic rising up in your throat.
"(y/n)? Are you in there?" Your eyes grew wide when you recognized the voice belonging to your husband. He was yelling from outside the bathroom.
"Y-yeah, I'm okay!" you yell in response.
"Was it positive?"
"Jonah... how'd you know I was taking a test?"
"I asked Tate. And you're late. Sorry, I didn't mean for that to rhyme," he laughed nervously.
You slowly exit the bathroom with the test in your hand, Cheyenne following closely behind.
You feel sick as you hand the test to your husband and watch his face light up with happiness.
"Babe, this is amazing! We're having a baby!" Jonah exclaimed, pulling you into a tight hug.
"I'll give you a moment alone," Cheyenne says awkwardly before shuffling away to find Mateo and probably fill him in on the pregnancy.
You tried to smile in an effort to hold your tears back. Even though you loved Jonah, he still forced you to marry him and take his last name, and he'd likely sabotaged your birth control in order to get you pregnant. You weren't ready for this to all happen so quickly.
Jonah pulled away, examining your face. "Everything okay, Mrs. Simms?"
"Uh, yeah. I'm just a little scared. It feels like everything is happening so quickly," you confess. Jonah strokes your arm comfortingly as you lean into his touch.
"Don't worry, babe. I've been planning this since we met. I'm going to take night classes and finish my degree so I can get a real job. And you can stay home with our little one," he explains, gently putting his hand on your stomach.
You loved Jonah, but you were terrified of what he was capable of.

Superstore Boys saying ‘I love you’ for the first time:
Marcus!!
- literally shaking in his cloud 9 branded work boots
- spends weeks, months even, practicing saying it in the mirror until he builds up the courage to do it to your face.
- not scared of saying it because of himself. He knows it to be true that he loves you more then anything else in this world. He's more scared that he'll say it and you'll give his this blank stare while you whisper an apology that you don't love him too. (It wouldn't be the first time that's happened).
- doesn't plan an extravagant moment or anything to say it to you, but he does want it to be intimate; just the two of you.
- when the words come out his hands are shaking and he can't meet your eyes, until you lean in close, nudge your nose against his cheek and whisper to him 'I love you too' with a chaste kiss to the corner of his mouth.
- once he says it for the first time, he's never not saying it to you.
- "I love you, babe." "Hey, babe, I love you." "Because I love you will you grab some cheese-it's in the store for me?" "I love you, but I love Kraft Mac and cheese more babe, get used to it."
Garrett!!
- doesn't think it's as much of a big deal as the others, but still finds himself nervous to say it to your face.
- plans a nice dinner for the two of you with all your favourite foods and your favourite movie and dessert for afterward
- when it comes to the actual moment that's when the nerves finally hit
- though Garrett spends most of his time flirting with you and acting all confident around you he just crumples. For the first time in a long time he's actually nervous to what May happen.
- you're cleaning up the dishes claiming you had to after he'd put all the hard work into making the food and Garrett comes up behind you, pulling you into a kiss. And then another and then another before murmuring it against your lips.
- you press one more chaste kiss to his lips and lean back with a wide, glistening smile. 'I love you too.'
- the amount of relief Garrett felt when you said it back!!!! He'd never admit how nervous he was that day, not even to you. He couldn't let you know the power you had over him.
Jonah!!
- Freaks tf out
- he's spent more time then the two of you had been together planning on how he would tell you he loves you.
- he plans the most elaborate day out for the two of you, a trip to the park, a picnic, row boat ride into the lake, a long stroll through a flower garden and then dinner at your favourite restaurant
- however, all of that goes to shit when he calls you up to ask you to bring him home his jacket that he'd left at the store and he ends the call with 'see you when you get back. I love you.'
- a brief moment of silence takes over the two of you as Jonah hastily mutters out 'I didn't mean to say that' before hanging up on you
- you tucked the phone into your pocket with a wide smile on your face, picking up his jacket that you'd already had among your things before heading back to Jonah's place as quickly as you could.
- the second you open the door Jonah's apologising, saying that 'I didn't mean to say it in a good way, of course I meant it! How couldn't I? I love you more then anything! This just isn't how things were supposed to go and-'
- before he can get out another word, your grabbing his by the collar of his shirt and pulling him against you, kissing his passionately before pulling back with a bright grin. 'I love you too, J.'

Imagine: The whole store shipping you and Marcus but nothing happening between the two of you until the last day when you try to say goodbye to eachother.
Warning/s: Nope not really.
Tags: @flowercrowns-goodvibes and @one-edgy-bitch
Tumblr media
From the day you and Marcus were both hired, its seemed that everyone and everything around was pushing the two of you together. You were trained together, your lockers were right by each other in the breakroom and that usually lead to the two of you sitting together in there too and walking out side-by-side, and even when Marcus started working exclusively in the warehouse- you somehow managed to get yourself being sent to tell him stuff whenever Dina or Glenn needed some information passed over.
And it didn't help that everyone around you seemed to weirdly invested in your relationship- and there was some chemistry at the beginning, but it never really became more than some flirting at the start and then a good friendship. That did not stop Garret from calling you over the speaker to come 'Collect your husband, because he's being irritating', and Sandra 'aw'-ing when Marcus would pass you part of his lunch. It seemed to become a running joke, that the two of you were basically married. It was uncomfortable, at first, but eventually you just got used to it.
You were best friends- so why should it be weird? It shouldn't. It was fine! Besides, it did get Tate off your case when he started to get in on it, too. That was a plus. You would rather be fake-dating Marcus then real-dating Tate.
Nevertheless- you and Marcus were really never anything but friends. You love him, but... only as a friend.
That doesn't mean this day is any less hard. Saying goodbye to everyone has been heartbreaking. You've done Glen, Amy, Garret, Jonah, Isaac, Justine, Cheyanne, Matteo, Sandra, Dina, and Sayid... basically everyone you could possibly think of to say goodbye to before you... well, before you had to get to Marcus.
When you finally do run into him, he's chugging down one of the remaining sodas directly out of the fridge, door still open as he leans on the frame. Taking a deep breath, you walk over and reach in to grab yourself a drink. "Oh, hey Y/N... "
"Hey... " You give a smile, tapping awkwardly at the top of the can with your nails.
For a few moments, the two of you stand in silence, sipping your sodas; You leaning on your back against one of the closed doors and him on his shoulder against the door next to yours, facing you.
"So... are we gonna do it?" Marcus finally pipes up again after he finishes the last of his drink.
Shrugging, you turn to rest on your shoulder and face him back. "I guess."
"... I'm gonna miss working with you- pal." The word is awkward as always, rolling off of his tongue and it makes you grin and giggle.
"You too, buddy." The words are light hearted, but your heart is feeling as heavy as it can be. Sure- you'll still talk to each other! You'll stay in contact! But it wont be the same, and who even knows if it'll even last... "I really will."
He shakes his head slowly, giving a sad smile. "... Not as much as I'm gonna."
"Oh no, we're not playing this game, White." You shake your head, and hold up a stern finger that makes him grin. "... But I do like to hear how much you love me." Grinning back, you feel a terrible lump starting to rise in the back of your throat.
"Well, I do. You're my best friend, you know? My own Grace."
"Like Will & Grace?"
"Exactly like Will and Grace."
Somehow the two of you had gotten a lot closer, leaning forward throughout the conversation. You only realise, because you can feel his breath on your face. His goofy grin drops, and you think he's gonna step back- but he doesn't. All of a sudden it feels like something shifts between you two, like something that was always there... just hidden... comes out. And you feel a different kind of nerves flicker to life all over your body.
"Not... not exactly, like Will & Grace... " You whisper, just wondering how he would respond to that; Whether he feels it too?
"Ah no, not... exactly... like that... "
"I mean- I mean, you're not gay, so... " You're quick to add, a last ditch attempt to keep things the way they've always been between you two even as a part of you suddenly screams for you to just wreck it.
He looks so cute, now. And did his eyes just flicker to your mouth?? Are you crazy??? "No, I'm not. I- I think I'm Bi, actually. I talked to Matteo, and- " You lick your lips, just to wet them, no ulterior motive at all, just because they feel so so dry right now, and Marcus seems to short circuit when he sees. "I mean- that's not the point right now. Ha, I... I love you. I mean!- No, yeah, I love you, you're my best friend, and, uh... "
Boy, your face is feeling hot right now. And your heart is thumping hard against your chest, and suddenly you just want to kiss him.
So, taking a deep breath, you step fully into Marcus' space, feeling the electricity just under your skin crackle, fizz and wake up. You then wrap your arms carefully, oh-so-nervously over his shoulders and he collects your waist in his familiar hands. Slowly you lean towards each other, hesitantly as a couple of the times you both stop on the way and wonder if you're really doing this, or just to smile reassuringly like this'll be fine...
It feels like it takes forever, but then your lips connect and god- you feel fireworks. The kiss immediately gets hotter, your hands moving to his neck while he suddenly tugs you fully against him, and backs you up against the fridge door. You're just thinking his tongue tastes like the soda you were just drinking when a cacophony of noise erupts alarmingly close to the two of you and you spring apart like caught teenagers- Marcus looking like a deer in headlights as you both turn around to see what the noise was.
... It was Sandra. She dropped a box of odds and ends apparently when she saw the two of you and they scattered all over the floor. "FINALLY!!" The exclaims, gesturing to the two of you, before turning right around an rushing, assumedly to the customer service desk.
"Oh- Hold on- Sandra!- " You try to call after her, just knowing she's going to tell Garret and he's going to, embarrassingly enough, announce what Sandra saw over the intercom.
But she's too fast.
"Hey," As soon as Marcus takes your hand again he's got your full attention back, and you could not care less what Garret announces. A broad, goofy grin is on Marcus' face and you love it. "... Wanna try that again?"
Quickly you nod. "Oh yeah, absolutely."
"C'mon." He nods, and you all-too-happily allow him guide you back.

Jonah Simms relationship hc's time cause i love him, he's criminally underrated (so is the show superstore it's amazing) and i have so many hc's (might be ooc but who cares really)
(also didn't proof read once again, sorry for the mistakes and bad grammar im borderline illiterate sometimes)
<>
as friends
as the show already established, the man starves appreciation and approval, which he will eventually get from you after many failed attempts at breaking the ice.
after you start spending time with him, you discover that he's kind, gentle, always willing and eager to help. at first it's a bit unnerving cause it's not common to meet people like that (plus he can be a little too naive and delusional sometimes) but you eventually get used to it. you even come to really appreciate it. you find it cute the way he sometimes stutters and fumbles over his words when explaining concepts and ideas. his clumsiness and tendency to dig his grave in basically every conversation is really funny to witness.
every time you need help with anything, he's always breaking his back and doing his best to fulfill your needs. he gives you lifts when you need to go somewhere far away, if he notices that you haven't eaten in a while (which happens quite often), he will either save you a piece of whatever he's eating or will go to the extent of buying you something to eat etc...
in return for all his kindness, you started doing the same thing for him. helping him, listening to his little rants about dubious health articles or obscure foreign films and whatnot, just making sure that he's okay. when he first noticed the slow shift in your behavior, he thought that it was really sweet of you.
you both became really devoted and committed to the (for now) platonic friendship overtime. you called each other very often, you hung out all the time in the store and then outside, you knew basically everything about each other atp. you enjoyed one another's company very much.
when everything changed
he fell for you first. he always found you beautiful, like, ever since he saw you for the first time but he didn't think too much about it - or rather tried to - until you guys went to the movies one day. it was one of your first hangout outside the store and in the middle of the day. usually you guys went places after your shifts so you were both relatively tired and not really dressed to the max. but this time was different. you agreed to meet each other in front of the movie theater in the early afternoon. you hadn't had an occasion to dress up in a while so you decided to do so today. you put on a little bit of makeup and your favorite floral dress with some white sneakers and your tote bag. you arrived a bit after him and when he saw you, something inside of him set up on fire. it was like he was seeing you again for the first time. all he could say was "wow. you look great !" or "you really look beautiful" and he did so while looking at you straight in the eyes. ever since that moment, he became more aware of you, of your presence and of your closeness. he now noticed all the little and subtle touches and glances you guys exchanged. he became flustered at every time you brushed past him or took his hand.
at first, he didn't want to believe it but when you hug him one time at the end of the day for a thing that he helped you with, it hit him. he liked since day one. he was only lying to himself all this time.
that realisation was painful but also eye-opening. all those times when he looked at you when you were doing something else or smiling at him and when felt funny inside, he could finally put a name on it. it was admiration and love.
for you it came later, but hit you just as hard. it happened while you guys were hiding in the back to take a little break from a hot day of work. you noticed how he was fidgeting and playing with his hands and fingers. you remembered that he always did and that it was one of the first things you noticed about him. oftentimes you openly stared at his hands and fingers while he was talking to you and moving them. you found them absolutely fascinating and also, pretty. so this day, you decided to tell him. you told him you liked what he was doing with his hands all the time and that you found them really pretty. that's when he looked up at you, with an almost earnest face and a strange light was dancing in his eyes. you didn't know if it was happiness, confusion or something else but it caught your attention. he held up his gaze and looked straight into your eyes, you felt like he was undressing you or rather looked inside of you. that's when you took the opportunity to study the fine features of his face, the deep hazel of his eyes and the plumpiness of his lips. he really is pretty, you thought. there was a few seconds of silence, during which you could feel the tension building up between the two of you. "really ?" he finally answered, his voice surprisingly more sultry than usual and a faint blush making it's appearance on his cheeks and ears, or so you thought. you simply nodded yes, too focused on him to talk. "well, thank you." he just answered before turning his back to you and leaving you rather dumbfounded. what happened was almost surreal to you.
and just like him, ever since, you became aware of his presence and of his closeness. it was like your whole world had collapsed and you now saw him as someone that you wanted. someone whose beauty and attractiveness cause your body to react.
living together
when the tornado hit and he lost his home, you immediately asked him if he wanted to live with you. your apparemment was rather spacious, you could use a little help with the rent and above all else, you couldn't leave him to live in a trailer with an insufferable neighbor when you had the possibility to help him. at first, he didn't want to move in with you, because of his growing feelings for you which made him scared of ruining your friendship and thus losing you. he also didn't want to impose.
you thought it was adorable that he worried about such things when his situation was so difficult. you assured him that he wouldn't impose at all, that he was not a burden despite him seemingly thinking so, and that it would be your pleasure to help him after all that he's done for you. that's when he finally gave in and moved in with you.
at first, it was a bit awkward, especially with your feelings for him and everything. you made sure to avoid any contact, because you feared the same thing as him. you didn't want to lose him and since you were sure that your feelings weren't reciprocated, you limited physical interaction.
jonah did the same and honestly, it hurt him a bit. even if you guys were talking and laughing as usual, he missed the touch of your skin on his and the shivers it sent down his spine everytime.
aside from that, you guys lived well together. you had a cleaning and grocery buying planning. he always insisted on cooking and basically doing everything to make your life easier. when he did so, it would put a huge smile on his face which would cause the same to you. seeing him so happy made you feel all kinds of warm inside.
first kiss
it happened on a random evening. you guys were exhausted after working all day and decided to watch a movie before going to bed. it was a long german movie with an incomprehensible plot, just like jonah liked them. during the film, while he was focused on what was happening on the screen, you were mostly in your thoughts. you were debating whether or not confessing to him today, which btw, you wouldn't have been thinking if you hadn't had a little beer at the end of your shift. it was the end of the week, and you were feeling adventurous, and also a but tired of keeping your feelings to yourself while he was literally living in your apartment. you had had enough of it. everything reminded you of him and his lingering coconut and fresh linen scent was everywhere. you couldn't avoid him so you decided to get on with it.
so you put your head on his shoulder.you couldn't feel it but he shivered at your touch against him. he carefully adverted his eyes to your eyes, confused and also a bit happy. since he couldn't see them, he assumed that you were sleeping hence why you inadvertently touched him, after all this time. tbh, he missed it.
when the film ended, as he was about to grab the remote to turn off the tv, you called his name. he realised that you weren't sleeping at all and turned his head to you.
"can i tell you something ?" you stared right in his eyes, determined to get this over with. even if you knew that he would for sure tell that he didn't feel the same and that it would be super awkward afterwards, you weren't going to stop.
"yeah, sure. go ahead."
"this isn't easy for me to say, and it took me some time to admit but... i think i like you."
his eyes widened and his mouth slightly opened. he was shocked. you went on.
"i realized it a few months ago and i didn't want to tell you because i was afraid it would ruin our relationship." you began to explain with tears forming in your eyes. you didn't think it would be this hard to be honest with him and you had started to get overwhelmed. "but yeah the thing is, i really really like you, jonah. and i know that you probably don't feel the same and that im making everything super awkward but-"
that's when he shut you up with a kiss. it was sweet, gentle, almost innocent. his hands were cupping your face and touching your burning cheeks while his lips chastely planted themselves onto yours. after a few milliseconds of shock where you were processing what just happened, you closed your eyes, savouring the moment.
then he pulled back and looked at your teary eyes in between his hands.
"i like you too, you know. i have for quite some time now."
and that had been the official beginning of your relationship.

Weirdly, I think my number 1 blorbo woman is Amy Sosa from Superstore. She's just got it all for me. I love her so, so much. I don't have a ton of desire to write fic for her (except sometimes porn), but rest assured I think about her regularly. No one's doing it like her.

IMAGINE — THE CLOUD 9 EMPLOYEES FINDING OUT YOU AND MARCUS ARE SECRETLY DATING AFTER DINA PLAYS SECURITY FOOTAGE.
REQUESTED BY ANONYMOUS
“THIS IS the tenth one I saw digging through a half-eaten bag of beetroot.” Dina was too eager to get the meeting over with and prove whatever point she was trying to make, which of course was the raccoon infestation in the store. Instead of seeing a raccoon feasting on produce, the surveillance footage showed something completely different — something shocking.
Everyone in the room shared elicited gasps and whispers when the screen showed you and Marcus in the far corner of the warehouse, where the two of you assumed the cameras couldn’t reach there. He had you pressed against the shelves of freight he made his warehouse handlers stack neatly, just for it to shake back and forth as the two of you were… working.
“Ladies, take notes! Am I right?” Justine laughs, receiving no praise or responded laughs from anyone.
Feeling the dread Amy and Jonah must have felt when it happened to them, you could only wish you disappeared at this very moment. Even as you were frozen in your seat, you could feel Marcus staring at the back of your head. You finally turned to look at him who stood at the back of the room, where he often leans against the lockers during meetings. You’ve never seen his face turn so pale.
“Marcus and y/n?!” Mateo gasps. “Oh your poor thing, you need to start loving yourself.”
“You watch way too much porn, dude,” Garrett says to Marcus so casually, taking a sip of his drink.

Day in the Lie - Yandere!Marcus White x reader
summary: a day in the life of your less-than-perfect relationship with Marcus
warnings: handcuffing, kidnapping, manipulation, gaslighting, pregnancy talk, general mean behavior, stockholm syndrome, toxic relationship
Tumblr media
8:00 A.M.
This morning, you wake up to the alarm clock and notice Marcus' heavy arm slung across your body.
"G'morning babe," Marcus rasps in his morning voice. He pulls his arm away from your body languidly, fingers lingering on your hips.
"Morning, Marcus," you sigh, mentally gearing up for another day of Marcus commandeering your every move.
You watch as Marcus stands up and walks over and pulls your pajama bottoms and underwear off without a second thought. You take in a sharp breath and your handcuffed hand clinks against the bed frame as you maneuver towards your boyfriend.
"Jeans for today, with this shirt," Marcus murmurs to himself, obviously not asking for your input.
He pushes a clean pair of underwear up your legs, then the pants. "Good girl," he praises as he grabs the key to your cuffs and unlocks you.
He dresses you in the shirt and your blue Cloud 9 associate vest, then slides a couple bracelets on your hand to cover up the red marks left behind by the metal cuffs. You watch him slide his warehouse jumper on as he tells you about how he forced Glenn to give you the same shifts and breaks every day.
8:30 A.M.
You sit in one of the back tables between Marcus and Dom, one of Marcus' idiot warehouse cronies. You wait for the staff meeting to start before the store opens at 9, while avoiding eye contact with all of your co-workers.
A very pregnant Dina talks with an also pregnant Amy, and you notice Marcus' eyes scanning them.
“I think you’d look pretty hot like that, huh?” Marcus says, gesturing to your two superiors.
“…pregnant? But—aren’t you infertile?”
“Oh, I know we can do it if we try hard enough. And I’m sure Glenn will approve of using the store’s insurance money to see a doctor. He loves kids!”
“Uh, maybe,” you sigh, feeling defeated.
11:00 A.M.
“(Y/n), go take your break,” Amy says quickly, gesturing towards the break room. It had been a surprisingly busy day, and Amy was having more people go on break at different times to survive the rush.
You nod, signing out of the register and switching places with Brett. As you walk toward the break room, you’re stopped by none other than Isaac. Great, another one of Marcus’ boys.
“Hey there (y/n), where you headed off to?” Isaac asks, stopping clear in the middle of your path and crossing his arms.
“Amy put me on break early since she had to put some extra baggers on. We’ve been busier than usual,” you explain, attempting to walk around him.
“You know Marcus’ rules, no breaks without him,” Isaac warns. God you hate your boyfriends’ stupid friends.
“Okay, I’ll go get him.”
“I’ll go with you, just to be safe.”
“Jesus, fine.”
1:10 P.M.
You check your phone, realizing your lunch break was supposed to start ten minutes ago. Where was Marcus? He had never been great with time, but usually remembered to retrieve you.
You leave Women’s Wear and head to the warehouse. The warehouse is probably your least favorite part of the store: dark, cold and creepy employees.
As you enter quietly through the double doors, you notice Marcus talking and gesturing to his workers. The roughed-up men watch him, enraptured.
“So I was like, ‘we should have a baby,’ and she was like ‘no!’ and i was like ‘you’re just a stupid woman and you don’t have a choice,’ you know, because i basically lock her up,” Marcus laughs.
To your horror, the men join in, shaking their heads at your behavior and subsequently high-giving Marcus. It makes you feel disgusting.
“Marcus, isn’t it lunchtime?” you say in a small voice, coming up behind the group of ten grown men.
“It’s lunch when I say it is, bitch,” he laughs, only softening once he sees the embarrassment on your face.
He walks you both out quickly, frowning once he sees the tears streaking down your face.
“Babe, you know that’s just guy talk, right? I still love you,” he promises, and you nod.
Once in the break room, you grab the blue insulated bag containing the lunches Marcus packed for both of you. Since you couldn’t afford much, you mostly ate whatever the two of you could scrape together from the store without Glenn or Dina noticing.
3:30 P.M.
Marcus' shift had finished unexpectedly early, but you still have thirty minutes left. Instead of heading down to your shared bedroom, Marcus decided to drag you over to the baby aisle and antagonize you.
"Is it just because you don't wanna be stuck with me? Because, uh, sorry, but you're gonna be stuck with me for the rest of your life," Marcus laughs, but deep down you knew it wasn't a joke.
"That's not it, Marcus," you sigh, grabbing some misplaced formula cans and moving them to the correct shelf.
"Then what is it?!"
"Marcus, you treat me like a child! You don't give me any space and I feel like I can't breathe. And no offense, but you act pretty childish most of the time, too. And on top of that, we literally live in the store's basement! How are we supposed to raise a child when our own relationship is so dysfunctional?" you sigh in frustration.
Marcus grows unexpectedly silent as you return to organizing the aisle. Even if he was bugging you, you were still technically on the clock.
"I'm just wrapped up in this... I don't know, this... fantasy of us. Happy, living somewhere nice, not having to worry about you leaving me. I think we would raise a good kid," he states simply.
His answer surprises you, and despite everything wrong with Marcus, you agree with him. You still love him deep down somewhere.
6:00 P.M.
You cook some recently-expired ramen on the small camping stove in your shared room as Marcus cleans up. He rarely cleans, but he was excited after you admitted to him that you also loved him and wanted to try and make things work.
"I'm so stoked that you actually love me! Nigel and the boys were in doubt, but I said they just don't know you!"
You laugh, using a small wooden spoon to stir the noodles in the pot over the portable stove.
When you glanced back up, you notice Marcus taking down his Animal House poster and putting up a poster for your favorite TV show.
"Marcus, you really don't have to do that," you say, touched that he would even consider adding something of yours to the walls.
"No, I want to. It's your place too," he explains, taping it to the wall.
"There, now it's home," Marcus says, standing back to admire his (slightly crooked) work.
"I love it babe," you laugh, "thank you."
And when he walked over to hug you, you didn't even flinch.

Y/n : I have something big to tell you.
Amy : You know you can say anything to me, Y/n. You've been like a child to me, and there is nothing that you could say or do to dent our impenetrable bond.
Y/n : I'm dating Marcus.
Amy : Ew. You're dead to me.

Aaron: That is insane! You would get sick!
Kenji: I’m not saying you wouldn’t get sick, I’m just saying every arrangement is technically an edible arrangement!!

When Sofia helps decorate for Cedric and Greylock's wedding:
Sofia: How's this?
Cedric: It's nice.
Sofia: But is it gay enough? I don't want to be kicking myself later that we should have gone more gay. Let's err on the side of gay!
Cedric: It feels appropriately gay.
Sofia: Good:)
