Chapter Text
They had just finished this big youtuber meet up for a video, the host (authors note: don’t ask me who i’m so tired just pretend it’s mr beast or smth) had rented a whole hotel for them to hang out in. everyone was in the lobby, chatting, drinking, whatever.
Unfortunately, although Bad could show up, he couldn’t stay the night there. He was walking out to the parking lot when Techno nudged Skeppy.
“Wha..?” Skeppy looked at him, confused. He had been staring at Bad, daydreaming about them two being together. He’d been clingy all day with him, and came close to.. a lot of things. Kisses, confessions, cuddles, so close, yet so far. Only in his imagination…
“Now’s your chance, nerd. Tell him.”
Skeppy looked between Techno and Bad before making up his mind.
Without another word, he ran to the door and followed Bad, who was already unlocking his car.
It was so dark out clouds covered the sky, the only light being the street lamps spread across the lot.
“Bad!! Wait up!” Skeppy panted as he skidded to a stop near Bad’s car.
The man looked at him with the most adorable confused expression. Skeppy’s heart pounded and he couldn’t tell if it was from sprinting across the parking lot or because of what he was about to do.
“What is it?”
“I- uh, never said goodbye.”
Skeppy blushed, hoping Bad couldn’t see in the darkness.
“Didn’t you? We talked before I went out..”
shit.
“Didn’t feel proper.”
“Ah.”
Phew.
They looked at each other for a moment.
“Bad, i have to say something.”
He spoke quickly, and didn’t wait for an answer before saying,
“I- I like you. Like- like like you.”
He instantly regretted speaking and wished he never ran out or became friends with Bad or hell even been born.
‘like like’?! Really??
Too late now, quick it’s too quiet out here.
“I have for years.”
Silence.
Silence.
More. Fucking. Silence.
Was it 5 seconds or five hours?
“I’m sorry.” Skeppy said, wheeling around and starting to bolt-
but a hand caught his.
“Skeppy?”
Oh god here it comes. Skeppy braced himself. He shut his eyes tight, wishing he was anywhere but there. He was blushing and sweating and panting and oh god make it stop.
He opened his eyes turned around.
Bad was… smiling..?
“You muffinhead. Why didn’t you tell me sooner? Here i was thinking my silly crush was one sided.”
Oh. Oh.
“You mean..?”
“Yeah.” Bad smiled again, softly, gazing into Skeppy’s eyes.
Silence, but this time it was warm.
Skeppy suddenly hugged Bad, jumping into him and making the brunette stumble backwards until he was leaning against the side of his car with a Skeppy pressed against him.
“Oof- Skeppy!”
Skeppy nuzzled into Bad’s chest, pressing his cheek into the fabric of his hoodie. His arms were firmly wrapped around the other boy and he closed his eyes and simply took it in. The soft light of a street lamp, Bad’s cologne, his warmth- he didn’t want it to end.
Bad felt the boy relax in his arms, and just accepted that they’d be like this for a while. It was like when a cat sits on you and you just know you’ll be there for at least an hour.
Skeppy opened his eyes and looked up at Bad with his big, stupid, cute eyes. They were watering a bit. They both smiled.
Skeppy leaned in.
It was perfect. Soft lips, full body contact, cool night air.
And from the window of the hotel lobby, a certain king watched them with a soft smile playing on his lips.
Fucking finally.
