Bashful - A Skephalo Story ❤️

Part 3

Skeppy was woken up by an annoying beeping sound. He rolled over, trying to work out where it was coming from. 'Oh!' he thought, 'My alarm... WAIT WHAT?!?! Why on Earth did I set my alarm for 7:30am??'

As he sat up, memories of the night before came back to Skeppy, including when he thought that - nevermind. He shook his head, thinking he mustn't have been feeling well or something. Anyways, he needed to get a wriggle on if he had any hope of beating the work rush hour.

Skeppy quickly showered and dressed himself and hauled his suitcases out of the door, double checking on his way out that he hadn't left anything behind. He silently cursed himself for choosing to be a youtuber, as three monitors and an expensive PC unit weighed a LOT.

Once he made it to the car, relieved at being able to dump his bags, he put Bad's address into the satnav and set off. Luckily he missed the worst of the morning traffic and made it to Bad's apartment in just over four hours.

Nervous, Skeppy slowly made his way up to the ground floor apartment and knocked on the front door.

No answer. He knocked a little louder, then impatiently banged on the wooden frame - and it swung open! 'It's not like Bad to leave his door unlocked,' Skeppy thought uncertainly, 'maybe I should just go and check if he's alright.'

He cautiously stepped inside, looking around for any signs of life. Everything was neat and tidy, so he ruled out the possibility of a burglar. Skeppy made his way from room to room, but they were all just as clean - and no Bad in sight. He came to a stop in front of a closed door, guessing that it was Bad's bedroom.

'I'll just have a quick look to see if he's okay,' Skeppy convinced himself, slowly cracking open the door. It squeaked loudly, and he held his breath worriedly, but didn't hear anyone stir. He crept in, looking for Bad and...

Skeppy froze, faced with the sight of Bad sprawled on his back on his bed, very nearly naked. He was asleep, his chest rising and falling rhythmically as he snored gently. Skeppy knew he shouldn't spy, but he couldn't help but stare at Bad's pale, peaceful face, his toned chest and stomach, his deep red boxer shorts straining at the seams... he drew slowly closer, fascinated and amazed by Bad's beauty. Skeppy extended his arm towards him, longing to touch his hair -

He caught himself just in time, shocked and alarmed by his actions. Skeppy ran out of the room and swiftly closed the door, then thumped its wood panels HARD.

"Bad, get UP you lazy ping spoofer!!" He hollered, trying desperately to get the blush to fade from his cheeks.

Bad jolted awake, alarmed by the sudden noise. He drew his bedcovers over himself, warily calling, "Who's there? What do you want from me?"

"I WANT YOU TO SOTP SLEEPING FOR 14 HOURS AND PHOTOSYNTHESISE THE BISECTORS!!" Yelled a familiar voice.

"S-skeppy? What time is it, did I miss you arriving? Wait... HOW DID YOU GET INSIDE?!" Bad asked.

"I kicked the door in," he answered, grinning as he pushed the bedroom door open, "and it's lunchtime."

"YOU DID WHAT??" Bad leapt off the bed, completely forgetting his lack of clothes, and charged at Skeppy. He tackled him to the ground and they landed with a thud in a rather... compromising position.

Skeppy's heart was beating double time. He could feel the weight of Bad on top of him, their bare skin touching in places, Bad's groin pressed against his. Bewildered, he just stared at Bad. They slowly turned dark red, scrambling to get off of each other quickly and stand several feet away, shamefaced.

"Some welcome," Skeppy snickered in an attempt to make light of the situation.

Bad just stared blankly at him, dazed. He hadn't meant to attack Skeppy half naked, but was there a small part of him that... liked it? 'No, don't be an idiot,' he thought, dismissing the idea.

After the quickest apartment tour in history, Bad retreated to his room and Skeppy to his. Skeppy lay on top of his bed and wondered about what had just happened. His mind wandered back to earlier, the sight of Bad sleeping peacefully... his body... then the more recent events. Some part of him stood up, pressing against his jeans, and he sat bolt upright, creeped out. "What is happening to me?!" He muttered worriedly, "I wasn't even thinking of... any girls..."

Bad decided to record a video, and when he was finished he thought he had made an absolute banger. However, when he posted it, the comment section was full of concerned viewers.

KawaiiPanda: Bad r u k? You sound a little shaken... You can talk to us ❤️❤️

Skephalo69: Dude what is wrong with him today lmao

AlibiCentral: If you're not feeling well, we understand if you want to take a few days off. Your health is more important! 😊

He sat back, confused. Sure, he was feeling a little guilty for his bluntness with Skeppy, but was it really that noticeable? Bad shifted uncomfortably in his chair, thinking back over his words. He hadn't even offered to help Skeppy set up his computer and recording equipment. Skeppy would need to be making more videos soon, or his prerecorded stockpile would run out. 'Maybe I should help him set things up now,' he thought, 'then we can keep to ourselves for a bit.'

Bad got up, walking out of his room, and knocked tentatively on Skeppy's door.

"GO AWAY BAD!" Skeppy screeched in response, too embarrassed to see him again. He was mortified that the thought of Bad had got him going; he just wanted to hide away for the day.

"Okay," Bad replied in hurt tones, "let me know if you need help with your setup or want to get some food later I guess..."

Skeppy didn't reply, feeling terrible for it, but he couldn't face small talk with Bad right now. He grudgingly got to setting up his computer; it took twice as long as it would have done with some help, but he decided this was better than facing Bad.

Bad left despondently, hoping that life as roommates wouldn't be this horrible. For the rest of the evening he didn't hear or see Skeppy, and he was left to his own thoughts.

His thoughts were full of nothing but Skeppy, what had happened - and how it made him feel...
