Before You Go (Skephalo)

Chapter 6

Skeppy walked out of the bathroom wearing his duck onesie. Bad looked up at him, still flustered by his find. He didn't know why finding that pride flag made him so happy.

Skeppy noticed the look on his face and gave him a puzzled look back. Bad struggled to come up with something to say. "What? I'm just looking for my clothes-"

Not convinced, Skeppy walked over to where Bad was sitting. In Bad's hand was the little rainbow flag.

"Oh you found the pride flag I got" Skeppy smiled, "I bought it to show my lgbt fans that I support them."

Bad felt his heart sink a little. Why was he feeling this way? Why was he wanting a different explanation?

"Oh thats great, Skeppy!" Bad said cheerfully, ignoring the feeling in his chest.

"You know, Bad, I brought a second duck onesie." Skeppy said smirking.

"You did not!"

"Now we can match!" Skeppy stated excitedly.

Skeppy grabbed Bads arm, pulled him into the bathroom, handed him a duck onesie, and walked out, shutting the door behind him.

"Oh come on!" Bad shouted. He could hear Skeppy giggling through the door. Bad rolled his eyes as he changed into the duck onesie.

BadBoyHalo walked out and Skeppy covered his mouth.

"Oh my gosh! You look so cute!" Skeppy squealed. Skeppy looked extremely excited, making Bad blush. "We need a picture together immediately." Skeppy claimed while pulling out his phone.

He put his arm around Bad and took a couple while they both smiled. Skeppy opened Twitter to post it and noticed something on his feed.

"What the-?" Skeppy questioned, the mood shifting.

"What? What is it?" Bad questioned, slightly worried.

Skeppy looked at him, his eyes wide.

"Skeppy, what is it?" Bad asked again.

Skeppy reluctantly showed him his phone. Some fans saw them at the theme park and posted pictures of them holding hands. Bads face went pink.

"Gaahh!" Bad yelled.

"Great. This is your fault you know." Skeppy snapped.

"What!? How is this my fault." Bad asked upset. "You're joking right?"

"You kept holding my hand and giving me these stupid looks all night. You think I don't notice but I do." Skeppy argued, slightly blushing. Bad paused.

"Skeppy, what are you talking about?" Bad asked, knowing he was right.

"You keep smiling at me and holding my hand. I'm straight, Bad!" Skeppy shouted. "Straight!"

"Y-yeah! I know! But were just friends! How do you think I feel?" Bad argued. "I'm embarrassed too, Skeppy.

Skeppy looked at him, "Embarrassed? You're embarrassed? I'm fucking embarrassed of you!" He snapped. Deep down, Skeppy wasn't actually mad at Bad. He wasn't mad at Bad at all. He was mad at himself for falling in love with Bad. He was afraid Bad would find out and leave. He was so angry and scared, and he was taking it out on his best friend.

The room was silent for a minute or two.

Bad sniffled and walked back into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.

Bad looked into the mirror at himself. The things Skeppy said were replaying in his head. It was the realization hitting him once again that him and Skeppy would never be together. With that thought, tears formed in Bads eyes. He stood there and cried as silently as possible for a few minutes, until Skeppy gently knocked on the door.

"Bad..?"

"What do you want." Bad asked coldly.

"Bad please open the door, I'm sorry." It was quiet for a bit. "I'm not embarrassed of you. I don't know why I said that. I was mad at the situation, not you. I'm sorry."

Bad walked over and reluctantly unlocked the door, letting Skeppy in.

"Bad I-" Skeppy was cut off by Bad giggling. He pointed at Skeppy's duck onesie, indicating he was laughing at at that and how he was wearing it during such a serious moment. "Don't laugh!" Skeppy shouted, starting to laugh as well.

"Come here you muffin." Bad said as he pulled Skeppy into a hug. Skeppy snuggled his face into Bad's shoulder.

"I'm sorry if i was giving you weird looks." Bad said quietly. Skeppy pulled away from the hug.

"No no no Bad, you weren't. It was never about you."

Bad gave him a slight smile.

"Okay, how do we reply to the posts? How do we handle this?" Skeppy asked.

"Here, I'll write something, but first you should post the ducky picture." Bad smiled.

Skeppy smiled back and excitedly posted it, then went to the most liked tweet and handed the phone to Bad. Bad started frantically typing and then gave it to Skeppy for approval.

The comment draft said:
@Skeppy: Man I WISH me and Bad were dating. If only i could date someone as awesome and cool as him z.z

Skeppy nudged him, "Bad!" He laughed.

"What!? I didn't post it!" Bad laughed too.

Skeppy deleted it and wrote a new one, but actually posted it.

@Skeppy: Bad wishes

"Skeppyyy!!" Bad shouted, laughing.

"Its best to just play along instead of being defensive." Skeppy said, jokingly rolling his eyes.

"Fair enough, but I'm gonna get on there and roast you when you least expect it!" Bad teased.

"Oh whatever!" Skeppy teased back.

"You're gonna get roasty toastied." Bad said, looking proud of himself. Skeppy smirked at him and they continued to laugh and joke with each other until nighttime.

Bad was comfy in bed when Skeppy got in next to him.

"I'm cold." Skeppy stated.

"You're literally in a fat duck onesie, you're fine." Bad sassed.

"But I'm coolldd" Skeppy complained again.

Bad didn't respond until Skeppy wrapped his arms around him. Bad instantly got flustered.

"Sk-Skeppy! what are you doing!?" He whispered frantically.

"You like it, don't even lie." Skeppy teased.

Bad blushed harder. He was right. Bad just accepted it and snuggled Skeppy back until they fell asleep.
