[No one's pov]Bad was so proud of himself, he finally got a YouTube video uploaded! It went up about 30 minutes ago, and he was scrolling through the comments.
There was all the usual stuff, fans sending memes, kind messages, and shippy stuff. And of course people sending hateful ones. These didn't really bother bad though, he'd been doing this for so long he'd gotten used to them.
But there was one thing that was different from usual. There were a lot of comments talking about how bad finally uploaded, that he must've been slacking off, that he was losing one of the best things about his channel, how his videos weren't worth the wait, and more.
It shouldn't have bothered him. But it did. He already felt guilty about making his followers wait so long, and these comments were only bringing that anxiety to light.
He knew most of them meant well or were just joking, but he couldn't help but let it get under his skin. He kept scrolling, and more and more of these comments came up as he was slowly brought closer to tears.
Just as he was about to burst, he couldn't help but let his mind run wild.
God they're right. I've been slacking off.
I keep disappointing them. Heck, I keep disappointing everyone.
My fans, my friends, my family, skeppy..
As his mind continued to feed into his insecurities, he broke. He leaned back in his chair, and let everything out. Sobs and harsh sniffles were all he could hear as he cried.
(Meanwhile with skeppy)
Skeppy had just been watching Netflix downstairs and playing a game on his phone. He finished the movie he was half-watching, and began scrolling through the app to find something that looked interesting. He found nothing. He decided to just go to his room, maybe play something on the computer or record a video.
He got off the couch, walked up the stairs, and as he was passing his friend's room in order to get to his, he suddenly heard a noise and stopped.
He stood there silently, trying to figure out what he was hearing. After a few seconds, he realized what it was; crying.
He immediately grew concerned, and swiftly entered the room without knocking, which startled bad. He looked in to see his frazzled and upset friend, sitting at his computer crying.
His eyes were puffy and red, and skeppy could see the tears streaming down the older man's face.
"Oh bad.." skeppy uttered, rushing to his roommate's side.
"Are you ok? What happened?" He questioned, sitting down on the bed next to bad. It looked like bad tried to respond, but couldn't get any words to come out of his mouth.
Skeppy sat there rubbing bad's back for a minute before he finally spoke up.
"I'm sorry skeppy.." he groaned, his voice hoarse from crying.
"For what?" Skeppy asked, confused.
"For- for making you see me like this, for making you deal with me crying." Bad answered, not able to look his friend in the eyes.
Skeppy's heart ached for his friend. Why would he feel bad for needing comfort? Skeppy told bad it was ok and that he didn't mind, but bad still seemed upset that skeppy saw him cry.
"Bad, why are you crying in the first place? You don't have to tell me if you don't want, but I want to help you." Skeppy asked quietly, not wanting to be too harsh.
Bad took a second to gather his thoughts.
"I uh.. I just feel guilty. I mean, my upload gaps have been months long lately, I keep letting down my fans, and- and I haven't been the most attentive roommate, and you keep putting up with me," bad paused and took a shaky breath in, and continued. "I don't deserve you, you're always there for me and making sure I'm ok and I'm just a burden on you and you're really handsome and smart and I-I just can't compare to you.."
Bad's long rant had subsided, and it left skeppy speechless. For one, because he couldn't believe his friend had been holding this all in for so long.
But also because..
Bad said he was handsome.
Skeppy couldn't believe it. Bad thought he was pretty? Skeppy always thought bad to be the more attractive one.
But skeppy didn't think it'd be a good idea to bring up bad's statement and the butterflies it gave him at this point in time. There were more important things to handle.
"Thank you for telling me bad, I didn't know you've been feeling this way! Please tell me next time, ok?" Skeppy requested, placing his hand on bad's cheek and wiping his tears.
Bad just nodded in response. Skeppy engulfed him in a hug, staying there for a few minutes as bad cried into his shoulder.
Bad's tears subsided, and skeppy offered to watch a movie with him to cheer him up. They ordered Chinese, and watched bad's favorite show.
The whole time skeppy couldn't stop thinking about how bad called him handsome. It was just a one-off remark, but it looped in his head over and over, squeezing his stomach. It made him so much more nervous around bad than before.
Surely it was just a heat of the moment thing right? Bad didn't actually feel that way about him.. right?
Skeppy wasn't sure he wanted to know. All he knew is that he felt that way. And he hated it.
Bad repositioned himself on the couch, his hand lightly grazing over skeppy's in the process. His heart stopped, and his face flushed.
Okay, he has to do something about this. He'd explode the next time bad touched him at this point. Like a ticking gay bomb. Skeppy gained his composure, and turned to look at his cute roommate.
"Bad, can I ask you something?" Skeppy mumbled, flustered.
Bad paused the show and looked over at him, confused. "Sure, what's up?"
Skeppy took a deep breath in. This was gonna be hard.
"Earlier, when you said I was handsome.. did you mean it?" He mumbled, choking on his words.
Bad froze, face turning a nice rose color. He didn't know what to do. He did mean it, but was scared skeppy wouldn't want to be his friend anymore if he knew. Could he just say he meant it platonically? Would he believe it?
Ok badboyhalo, just be honest. You got this.
He averted his gaze from his friend, and uttered a meek "yes".
Skeppy couldn't believe his ears. Bad genuinely thought he was attractive? His heart was racing, he didn't know what to do. So he just let his heart lead the way.
Skeppy gently set his hand on bad's, causing the older's heart to skip a beat. He leaned in, placing a light kiss on bad's cheek. "Well, I think you're gorgeous too." Skeppy stated, looking away.
Bad couldn't believe it. He had to go for it now.
"Well.. if you really think so, would you, uhm.. maybe want to go out with me?" He asked, looking up at skeppy and smiling.
...
"I'd love to bad."
