Your birthday was tomorrow, and Markus was having trouble with finding you the perfect gift.
You weren't picky, at least that's what you told him.
He knew you loved cute things, plushies and fluffy things.
It was hard, considering that most if not all stores had been ransacked.
He found himself inside one of those kids stores, with all the toys and knick knacks.
All of it was so silly to him, and none of them made him think of you. Pulling a doll off the dusty store shelf, pulling the string on its back.
"I love you!" It exclaimed. It was endearing, but also creepy.
"Absolutely not." He sat it back down and continued to walk down the dark isle.
He sighed, slowly losing hope that he would find anything worthy of being your birthday gift, he knew hiding his true intentions would get him into trouble, but it was worth it.
He made his way into the next isle, filled with plushies, which is exactly what he was looking for.
"How did I not see this sooner?" He asked himself.
He scanned over the mass of cute and cuddly toys until his eyes landed on a fat, plush fox.
It was a peachy pink, and was incredibly soft to the touch. This was perfect!
Snatching up the plush, he shoved it excitedly in his satchel.
Feeling his cheeks heat up, thinking about how you might react. Would you hug him? Kiss him?
Either way, it would be awesome!
He made his way back to the van, and Ana gave him a look, one of concern and confusion.
"I had to get the right thing, Ana."
"Oh, for your special someone? Your l'amour?"
She expected him to deny what she said, her eyes got big for a second, she stared at him like he grew a second head.
"I never expected you to be honest with your feelings, Scull."
"I guess you are right." He thought for a moment.
"(Y/N) is different. Special."
She chuckled at his words, turning on the van once again.
"You are so lovestruck, mon amie"
"Maybe I am, their so special."
His face heated up once again, grateful for his facemask.
"I hope it goes well for you."
Her voice was sincere. She looked back at him for a second, as if to reassure him.
You had been so nurvous about your birthday, mostly because Scully had not been there all day.
You wanted to spend your birthday with him, you were going to take that time to tell him how much you loved him.
Rae watched you, knowingly.
"That numbskull" she grumbled.
"Markus. He's not here for your birthday."
"He's... Probably getting my gift."
"I hope so. He's bad at being punctual."
Almost as soon as she said that, Scully had walked through the door of the mess hall, breathing heavy.
"Hey! I'm here! Im sorry! Mijn excuses!"
I had perked up at the sound of his voice and practically launched myself at him.
"Yeah, where were ya?" Rae interrogated
"I... Was getting your birthday gift."
Ana sat down next to Rae.
"Yeah, I gave him a ride."
Scully nodded as she spoke.
"Yeah, I got your gift right here."
He pulled out the fat pink fox, and handed it to you.
You gasped and proceeded with the 'awws' much to scully's satisfaction.
You looked back up at him once again.
His heart dropped, even wearing mask, he looked so upset.
He perked up again like a excited dog, pulling you into a bear hug.
"Haha! I knew you would! Ik hou van je."
He whispered into your ear.
"Wait you understood that?"
"I wanted to be cute, and say it in your native language one day."
He stood there for a moment.
"That's so sweet, wow." He gave that signature chuckle.
Ana coughed, and Scully looked up at her.
"So, are ya just gonna fuck in the mess hall?"
"I'm just saying. You two look way too excited."
You grabbed scully's hand as if to say that you'd like to retreat back into the dorms for alone time, which he obliged.
"I'll see you guys later!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Don't be loud, ok?"
