Chapter Text
Skeppy woke up the the sun reflecting into his face, he sat up, groaning and checking the time to see his alarm would go off in 2 minutes. He had a pounding headache and closed his eyes, trying to ease the ache only opening them to turn off his alarm then shutting them again.
He only reopened his eyes once he heard Bad walk out of his own room and down the hall to the kitchen to make his usual cup of coffee and heat up a bagel or any other baked goods they had around. Skeppy slid out of bed, feeling dizzy and coughing a bit, wincing at the harsh ache in his throat.
He stumbled down the hall and into the kitchen, his vision becoming unclear and pesky. Once arriving to the dim kitchen, he plopped down on a chair at the island and his head started to get heavy as his eyes wanted to close, but he knew he couldn't let whatever was going on, influence his day, he was 5 videos behind and needed to run errands for a few people later on.
Bad set down a coffee cup in front of Skeppy, made the way he enjoyed and then put a warm cinnamon roll down next to the mug, smiling, "Good morning Geppy!" Skeppy nodded a thanks and sipped the coffee, groaning when it didn't help his throat ache. He attempted to eat the warm breakfast Bad had prepared however it only made him nauseous.
"Hey.. Bad." Skeppy said in a hoarse voice, coughing from the sudden irritation making it worse, Bad ran over to feel Skeppy's head but Skeppy moved away, already knowing what Bad would find, "I'm fine, Bad, can we just go record?" Skeppy asked, covering his forehead with his hand, feeling the radiating warmth.
Bad sighed and nodded, knowing Skeppy wasn't taking no for an answer. Skeppy smiled at his win, like usual and Bad just watched as Skeppy stumbled into his room, shutting the door, Bad went into his own room and sat down.
Skeppy blinked a few times trying to focus his eyes as he opened OBS and minecraft, Skeppy joined Bad in the call, coughing faintly then got onto the server. "Today we will be-" Skeppy coughed ruining the intro, "Sorry let's redo that." Bad hummed in response and after 2 more tries Skeppy managed out an intro, "Hey guys! Today we will be doing bed wars! Lik and subscribe or what Bad?" Skeppy muted to cough. "Or uhm they will run out of Muffins!" Skeppy unmuted, "Or a giant muffin will eat you!" Skeppy muted again to take a sip of water, and to rub his throat hoping to soothe it. "Geppy no!"
They started off fine with their usual jokes and banter till Skeppy got quiet, Bad ran over to Skeppy's island after calling out to him, assuming he was trolling, but he managed to be able to kill Skeppy 5 times, and still there was nothing. Bad got up from his chair and went into Skeppy's room to his head head was on his desk, his eyes closed and soft snores emitting from his mouth, he appeared to be uncomfortable.
Bad stopped the recording and shut off Skeppy's monitor, before gently shaking Skeppy back to consciousness, getting a glare and a grumble, "C'mon Skeppy, you need to lay down." Skeppy tried to sit up to keep playing, hardly able to hold his own body up, "I have to record.."
Bad sighed and after a few minutes he managed to get Skeppy into bed and went to leave but Skeppy had grabbed his hand and did not appear to be letting it go, "Skeppy, I'm going to go get you some more water and then make soup, please let me go."
"Please don't leave me.." Skeppy mumbled, his eyes parted a bit as he interlocked his fingers with Bad's squeezing tightly. Bad let out a breath, "Where would you like me?"
Skeppy smiled and patted the bed next to him and Bad let out a breath, getting into bed with Skeppy, instantly being taken into a hug in which he knew he would not be leaving anytime soon. Bad wasn't against it, not for now, he could feel that Skeppy's temperature wasn't too bad, so there was no reason to panic yet.
Skeppy swiftly went to sleep, softly snoring into Bad's chest, seeming happy to be there, bad just smiled and held Skeppy, tightly, letting him know he was there for him. Bad was used to the cuddling and clinginess of his dear friend, Bad enjoyed the cuddles more than he would ever admit to the tan boy.
After an hour, Bad wiggled away making soup and getting water, bringing both back to the room with a thermometer putting it to Skeppy's forehead, waking him up. "Why'd you leave?" Skeppy asked, a pout filling his face.
"Your fever is rising." Bad explained, "I brought soup and water." Bad helped Skeppy sit up and he shivered, making Bad nervous as he was fighting off a 102 Degree F, fever. Skeppy ate a few bites before he pushed the soup away, "I can't.. it has no taste." Bad sighed and put a hand on Skeppy's face to rub his thumb along Skeppy's cheek, "You need to eat, you'll feel much better, I know it doesn't taste like anything but I want you to feel better."
Skeppy nodded and ate the soup slowly, making sure to drink, after he had the soup almost finished he took the Advil Bad had for him to calm his headache, "I'll run to the store to get you some flu medicine." bad explained and Skeppy panicked, grabbing Bad's arm with both hands, giving him a pleading look, "D-Don't leave.. I want you.."
Bad let out a breath, "I need to get you medicine so you can feel better." Skeppy just held Bad tighter with shaky hands, tears forming in his eyes, Bad gave in and laid back down with Skeppy who hummed happily, nuzzling his face into Bad's chest to get comfy, falling back alseep, this time, Bad joined him, his brain didn't let him go into a deep sleep as he was very worried for Skeppy's health.
The sickness and pleading went on for a few days, currently Bad and Skeppy were curled up, but this time, Skeppy woke up first and smiled seeing Bad in his bed, he was grateful that Bad cared about him enough to risk his own health for Skeppy's sick antics, Skeppy knew Bad was being a good friend and Skeppy loved Bad, just not as a friend, as more, he had been terrified to tell this to Bad, afraid it would ruin their perfect friendship.
Skeppy slid away from Bad's arms, kissed his head, then went into the kitchen to make coffee and warm up a chocolate chip muffin, Bad must've had ordered with the rest of the groceries, there were other baked goods along with it, but Skeppy wasn't hungry, Bad had made him eat when he woke up from a 12 hour slumber at 5am.
Bads walked out a few minutes later after his alarm had rang faintly through the house, "Geppy?" Bad asked, walking over to the coffee and muffin, seeing the coffee was a light brown, recognizing it as his. Skeppy turned to face Bad, wrapping his arms around Bad's waist from behind, making Bad let out a breath, "Are you feeling better, Muffin?"
Skeppy stuck his face into the crook of Bad's neck, humming happily, "Much better, thank you for taking care of me, I wuv you~" Bad chuckled and brought a hand up to play with Skeppy's hair, "I love you too, Muffinhead."
Skeppy smiled and stayed in his current position as Bad ate, Bad wasn't bothered at all and rather enjoyed Skeppy's serious embrace, they didn't need to talk, they just had each other and enjoyed every moment of it.
Bad really did love Skeppy.
