Decades Between Us

[54] Dire Need

The group was sat in the living room, bad was discussing the current situation as he explained to puffy everything that had happened.

Tubbo was sat laughing with ranboo discussing his antics as a ghost, how it was different from being a spirit.

A ghost was a new born dead (someone who'd recently died) They'd need to be dead for a century with no 'bad reports' to be deemed a spirit, then they'd be assigned to a spirit guide and could then assist in raising supernatural children. 

Skeppy was a spirit, he was murdered back in the greek empire. Betrayed by a close ally during a disagreement, his first two decades as a ghost he spent trying to get revenge before realising it wasn't worth it. He spent 100 years after that on good behaviour, eventually being assigned to bad. Their first was a Pure bred named Spifey, he was a mischievous kid who constantly strived or trouble. He was known for Creating glisteners and willocks out of boredom which caused a spike in the population, when spifey turned 16 (320 years old in mortal years) bad and skeppy decided he was too much to handle, he was assigned to another spirit guide, Finn.

Their second was a 12 year old phantom tarker named Vincent, however vin died at the age of 14 after getting into a fight with a purebred in public, the union decided to execute him.

Their third was ranboo, pretty self explanatory. Whilst their final was nick, the one they've stuck with ever since. Bad viewed Nick most like a son, he cared for him dearly and enjoyed whenever sapnap called him dad, he saw him like a son.

Sapnap had his legs around karl whilst his arms loosely dropped over his shoulders, his head rested upon karls.
Karl admired his work on sapnaps nails smiling to himself as he interlocked his partners hands with his own, George was asleep over dream whilst dream was in and out of sleep, dozing off every so often.

Bad was sat next to puffy whilst skeppy walked between walls and just floated about, he seemed bored.

"so get this right, george was a mortal before he came here, and tHEN clay bit him and it turns out he's a demi god tarker how cool is that!" bad exclaimed
"i've never seen a demi god tarker before, he seems rather normal" she chuckled as bads enthusiasm
"just you wait puff, he's insane! he grows big wings and can fly and make fire its so cool!" he grinned looked over at the sleeping boy
"puff, that's a new one" puffy ran a hand through her thick curled white hair
"i always give my friends nicknames, Clay i call Terracotta because you know, same thing right! George i call Georgasaur, Sap is sappy, skeppy i call geppy, karl i call Karlywarly and now your puff it's so much fun you should try it"
"For someone called bad, you aren't bad at all you're rather sweet!" she smiled
"why thank you puff" the two sat there smiling, until their comfortable conversation was interrupted by a crashing of bottles in the bathroom "i'll go check" bad smiled

he opened the bathroom door seeing skeppy desperately trying to pick up the bottles as his hands went through them, he let out a frustrated half-yell before attempting to kick them, his foot going through.

"Geppy! what did you do" bad muttered as he began to pick up the various bottles of bathroom necessities.
"dunno" skeppy shrugged
"what's the matter with you lately, you're so distant" bad looked up frowning as he placed a bottle on the counter by the sink, skeppys eyes met him.
"i wanna have a real body, i don't wanna be- i don't want to be a spirit anymore!" he cried out

bad was slightly taken aback by this, skeppy seemed happy being a spirit, he'd never complained. Bad let out a giggle
"what's so funny" skeppy crossed his arms
"nothing" bad snickered
"baaad you're laughing at me"
"oh my goodness! i'm not, i'm surprised you don't realise"
"what"
"You're three millenniums old skeppy! At 1.5 you can become a spirit guide, giving you a body"
"i know" skeppy sighed
"well why didn't you?"
"i didn't want to have to leave you"
"oh geppy, i wouldn't let that happen"
"but you would"
"you're my best friend skeppy, how could i just leave you"
skeppy looked hurt at the phrasing, he looked away

bad looked like he was thinking for a moment.
"We could always- cheat the system" bad looked up with a smirk
"what?"
"puffy is a witch, she could create a recreational potion. Bringing you back in bodily form, still immortal but no work attached"
"that wouldn't work"
"who says it isn't worth trying"
"but bad"
"no buts geppy"

bad left the room and whispered to puffy, she whispered back and smiled and unclipped a diamond blue potion from her belt and handed it to bad, he smiled and said multiple thank yous before returning to the bathroom

he raised to, skeppy gave an unnerved look "is this safe" he questioned looking at the glowing colours
bad nodded, handing skeppy the potion.

skeppy shook the bottle slightly out of curiosity and cautiously brought it to his lips, he let out a deep breath and looked up at bad who gave a reassuring nod before drinking the potion

His body began to form, it was slowly turning more solid and less translucent with every second. before they knew it he was a full body. He patted himself over, as he turned to the mirror, the biggest grin grew on his face.

"i- i'm alive again!" he beamed,
"geppy you're not a spirit anymore!" bad giggled

skeppy turned throwing his arms over bad holding him tight, he savoured the moment as his heart raced, a feeling he hadn't felt in so incredibly long. The feeling of his heart pounding against his chest.

Bad pulled away from the hug with a friendly smile, he prepared to leave the bathroom as skeppy grabbed his wrist

Bad looked up at him with a confused look

"there's one more thing i've wanted to do for so long" skeppy nervously rubbed the back of his neck
"sure, what is it skeppy?" bad let out a nervous chuckle

Skeppy pushed bad against the door and pushed himself into him, interlocking their lips.

Bad didn't pull away.

A/N
( mortal - immortal conversion . Xy x 20y = Xy,
E.G 16y x 20 = 320y  (Y = Years) )
(Sapnap = 21 // 21y x 20 = 420y) [Sap is '21' in immortal years aka 420 years old in mortal years in this story)

i hope that made sense
