[A/N] - Yea, this chapter is the final of this series! Sad, I know! But I'll do all my rambling at the end of the chapter once you've read it! For now, enjoy!

****

"What...? What are you doing here? I thought you went back to Ireland to stay with your parents..." Mark said.

"I did." Jack replied. "But then Ryan called me up, saying it was urgent, and that it was about you, so... I took a flight back here to L.A in a blind panic."

Mark widened his eyes, obviously surprised. Surprised that Jack had even thought of him. That he was even worried about him. Mark had thought he completely hated his guts.

"What...? But... But why? Why would you care? I thought... I thought you hated me. All of you." Mark stuttered.

"We don't hate you, Mark." Ryan said. "You may have pissed us off and screwed Jack over, but it's not like we wouldn't care if something bad happened to you."

"Yeah, and besides, I never said I hated you." Jack added. "I left you because I was mad at you, not because I stopped loving you!"

"You... Still love me...?" Mark continued, his voice shaking. His brown eyes trailed down to the floor, as he went silent. The others awkwardly cleared their throats, looking at each other.

"We'll give you two a minute to talk." Danny said, motioning for everyone to follow him out, and that they did, leaving just Mark and Jack alone in the silence.

"...I'm sorry, Jack... For everything..."

"You idiot." Jack spat, taking Mark a little by shock. Jack's face scrunched up as tears began to sting at his eyes.

"Why the fuck would you go and drink? Are you that stupid? You know you can't handle it, so why? You could have fucking died, you doof! You could have died and fucking left me all alone, god damn it...!" Jack whined, tears streaming down his cheeks. Mark's face softened as he slowly lifted his hand for Jack to take it.

Seeing it held in front of him, Jack took his own hand, linking it with Mark's. Holding on tightly to it like it was a life line that he didn't want to let go of.

"I... I was lost, Jack... So lost without you... I've lost a lot of people... I lost my dad growing up, then... Then Daniel and then pretty much losing everyone as friends... It was breaking me up inside, Jack... But there was no way I could lose you too, not you too..."

"Then if you cared so much about me, why did you kiss Amy?"

"I didn't!" Mark cried. "I didn't, she kissed me! And I know I was a dick and I allowed it to happen but... I just wasn't thinking straight. But I know what I want now. I want-- No, I need you, Jack... Please...?"

"Mark... I..." Jack trailed off, seeing the hurt in Mark's eyes. The pain, everything he was feeling. He really was someone who had been through a lot... But what was he expecting? For Jack to take him back?

"Mark... How do I know if I can trust you...?" Jack whispered.

"I... I haven't spoken to Amy since what happened... She's even been texting me and I haven't said anything apart from telling her to leave me alone... Because I don't want her Jack, not anymore. I want you, I swear Jack... From the moment I met you, it's always been you."

The green haired man continued to use his blue orbs to stare into Mark's chocolate coloured ones. Was there honesty there? Was he really being truthful? Or was he just going to break Jack's heart into a million pieces again?

But the pain he had been feeling since he went back to Ireland... The loneliness, the sadness, the emptiness... Was it worth it? Was it worth spending several months trying to get over Mark...? No... That's not what he wanted. He didn't WANT to get over Mark. He loved him, damn it.

Springing out of his seat, Jack brought his lips to Mark's in a loving kiss. The red head smiled, tears in his eyes, happy to feel Jack's lips against his own again. How he had longed for this moment in time to happen again, it had felt like an eternity since they had last kissed, yet here they were.

"God damn idiot... You're so fuckin' lucky I love you so much..." Jack muttered, pressing his forehead against Mark's. Mark let out a tiny chuckle.

"I know... I'm sorry... I swear, I won't ever hurt you again... I love you so much, and I'm sorry for being such an asshole to you..."

"It'll be okay, Mark... You can make it up to me..." Jack giggled, giving him yet another kiss.

As the reunited couple were moving their mouths in sync with one another, the door slowly creaked open, revealing the rest of the group who had been waiting outside. Ryan stood, and awkwardly cleared his throat, interrupting the moment.

"So, it seems like you guys have made up, huh?" Ryan spoke, a small smile forming on his face.

"Yeah... Yeah, we have..."

****

Maybe the world just wasn't so cruel after all. It was days later that Mark was let out of hospital, perfectly fine and healthy. Of course, because of that, his channel had been left completely unattended, leaving his fans wondering and confused about the lack of content. But a simple explanation would fix that.

Going back from Ireland to America, Jack ended up moving back in with Mark, their whole issue being resolved. Jack's parents were happy for him, but they did let him know that if anything ever went wrong again, he was free to come by whenever he wanted.

The offer was nice, but he believed things were going to be just fine now. Being able to be back, living under the same roof again with Mark after pushing past all the conflict, it felt amazing. Like they could get past anything.

Setting up the recording for a video, Mark and Jack sat next to each other on camera, grinning at each other. They could already imagine just how excited people were going to be to see them together again.

"Hello everybody! My name is Markiplier and... Look who I am here with!" Mark gasped, holding his arms out dramatically towards Jack who then giggled and waved at the camera.

"Hey guys! Yes, I am Jacksepticeye! And I am here in L.A with Mark!"

"I bet people are just so fucking confused after everything that's happened." Mark chuckled. Jack nodded, agreeing.

"They probably are. Go ahead and explain." Jack smiled.

"So I have the honours of explaining?" Mark joked, pointing at himself. "Cool!"

"Well, anyway, you guys probably saw all the drama that had been going on for awhile, between, well, me and Jackaboy here because we had a bit of a falling out, which, by the way, was all my fault. It's true what I said before, it's my fault, and I took responsibility for what I did... And so... Things are okay now." Mark beamed, taking Jack's hand into his and holding it tight.

"And you might wanna say why there's been no videos for a few days too." Jack pointed out.

"Oh, right! Basically, these past few days, I was in hospital. It's nothing to go freaking out about, I'm perfectly fine and healthy. It was just me being an idiot, knowing I'm not supposed to drink... But then I went and did it anyway because of stress and all that bullshit but... I have Jack here again to make sure I don't be stupid."

"Yeah, yeah you do." Jack beamed, leaning towards him and giving him a quick peck on the lips.

"But yeah! Now you guys know, that everything is okay between us now and... If I even still have any fans left, I will do what I can to regain your respect. Because I know I've probably lost a ton with what I did... But I wouldn't blame anyone for losing respect for me."

"Well, I'm sure you can gain it back." Jack added.

"Yeah... I'll try my hardest too... Anyway, this was just a quick vlog to update you guys on things..." He turned towards Jack. "You wanna try the outro we practiced together?"

"Hell yeah!" Jack chirped enthusiastically. Mark chuckled, turning back towards the camera.

"Thank you guys so much for watching..." Mark started.

"Wpshh! Wpshh!" Jack continued doing the high fives.

"And we'll see YOU..."

"IN THE NEXT VIDEOOO!"

****

With explanations and questions out of the way, there was just one last thing that needed to be done. And that was for them to enjoy themselves with their good friends.

Both Mark and Jack were sitting at a large table with a lot of their good friends. The game grumps were there, Matthias and Amanda were there with J-Fred who could come along too. There was also Felix, Marzia and even Ken. Tyler, Ethan, Matt, Ryan, Signe, her boyfriend Michael and you definitely could not forget Bob and Wade.

After all the stress that they had been through, it was good to just be able to sit down either friends again. For Mark to feel like himself again, rather than being the bitter jealous jerk that he had been.

"Okay guys," Ryan started, getting everyone's attention. "I just want to say it's good to be able to all hang out in a group like this. To be able to hang out with Mark again." Ryan grinned in Mark's direction.

"But what I am extremely happy for, is the fact that Jack and Mark were able to sort things out, as we've all shipped them for god knows how long." Ryan laughed.

"Septiplier Away!" Felix joked from where he was sitting, getting a small cheer from Ken.

"And this might seem random but... I just want to raise a glass to the reunited couple." Ryan said.

"Awhh... Ryan..." Jack gushed, finding that really sweet of him to do.

"So... To Mark and Jack. I'm glad we're all good again now. And I'm glad you are happy too."

Wanting to join in on the toast, everyone else sitting at the table even rose their glasses, holding them all close together, ready to start clinking them with one another. It was then that everyone said in sync:

"To Mark and Jack!"

The End
****

[A/N] - And that's a wrap! I have to admit, this has definitely been a fun 70 days. (That's right, a chapter a day without missing an upload! That's so awesome! :D) But I just want to thank you guys so much! The support for this story is really what has kept me going. Because there were some days where I got writers block, which was super frustrating! But with you guys so desperately wanting to see the chapters, I tried my hardest to keep getting chapters out, which I did!

I really wasn't expecting this story to be this long! xD 70 parts, that's crazy to me as I've never written a fanfiction this long before! But like I said, it was fun!

And I know you guys are probably sad to see this series end, but all good things must come to an end eventually. But don't worry! I may have a Septiplier story planned sometime for the future. ;) I don't know yet if it'll be anywhere near as long as this one, but I'll see how things go.

For now I may take a shirt break from writing, but I probably won't be away very long as I just enjoy writing so much! But yeah! I'll quit the rambling. Again, thank you so much you guys! You're all so great and I love you all! 💚
