Chapter Text
“Hey Bad~!”
“Yes Skeppy?” Bad turned around from the iron ore that he was mining.
Skeppy was holding a small box, “Here! I made you something!”
Bad opened the box and inside was a ring. It was made of red nether brick and had a small diamond embedded in it. Written on the inside of the ring were the words, ‘You Are My Sunshine <3’. “Oh my goodness Skeppy! Where’d you get this?”
“Told you I made it.” Skeppy gives Bad a big smile.
“Well, thank you Skeppy! I love it!”
“Wait. It’s a promise ring. Before you put it on you have to make a promise to me.”
“Okay. What do you want me to promise?”
“I want you to promise that you’ll never leave me, nor stop loving me.”
“I can keep that. Don’t know about the rest of the world though.”
“Just promise that you’ll do your best.”
“I promise.”
Skeppy takes Bad’s hand and gently slips the ring onto his ring finger. Skeppy gently kisses the knuckle of Bad’s hand and looks back up at Bad with his eyes.
“Hehehe~ Geppy stop.” Bad looks away. ‘ Oh my gooooooooodddddd! Dear fuck, just screw him already! Holy shit, is this taxing to watch. ’ Let Bad live. If he wants to take his time, let him . ‘ Oh don’t act like you don’t want this to just be over with. ’
“Bad? Bad? Are you alright? You’ve gone grey. Again.”
“Hmm?” Bad’s head was pounding from the bickering. “I’m-I’m fine Geppy.”
“Let’s go back to the surface and you can get some rest.”
“Okay. But we still need materials.”
“I can have Sap and George help me, right now, you need to get to bed.”
“Okay.” Bad whispers and leans on Skeppy’s shoulder.
The two make their way out of the cave and the bickering still hasn’t stopped. Bad had tried to tell them to stop, but they refused. It hurt, it hurt a lot. Bad passed out from the pain, and luckily Dream was near the cave so he could help Skeppy carry Bad inside. They laid him down on the bed in the guest room. George quickly came in with a warm, damp rag and laid it on Bad’s forehead.
“What happened? Is Dad alright?” Sapnap came into the room.
“He’ll be alright. It’s just another one of his episodes.” George explained calmly.
“He passed out in the cave. We were almost out, and he sort of grunted and just went completely limp.” Skeppy looked over at Bad.
“I’ll go call Phil. I’ll see if he has anything to help. I’m also getting Techno. There has to be something down there that Bad is having this reaction to. Don’t demons have a reaction to lead?” Dream was already halfway out the door.
“They do. The smell is horrible for them. I would know, although I only feel half of what Dad does so I can only imagine how bad it is for him. Do you really think there’s lead down there?”
“Lead can be in lots of places. Anyways, I’ll be back. See ya guys, later.” Dream walks out of the room and starts packing his bags for the trek to Phil’s house.
‘Look at what you did!’ What I did!? You wouldn’t leave him alone! ‘Well maybe if you just shut the fuck up, I wouldn’t have need to keep messing with him!’ Could you both please stop? I need to recover, and I can’t if you two keep at it. ‘Well tell Halo to shut the fuck up.’ Tell Good to stop being an ass. Please you two. I can still feel the headache even when passed out. It hurts like heck. Please stop. ‘Sorry.’ My bad. Thank you. You two really need to stop bickering. This can’t keep happening. Poor Skeppy must be worried sick. ‘Good, the little bitch deserves it.’ Good! Stop! Oh my goodness.
Bad’s conscious moves to the side hoping to get away from the noise, it doesn’t work. They all live in the same brain and there’s nothing they can do. A couple hours later Bad opens his eyes. It’s dark out. Skeppy and Sapnap are asleep at his side, each holding one of his hands. George walks in.
“Oh Bad! You’re up!”
Skep and Sap both jolt up. Immediately, the two pounce on Bad, embracing him in a hug. Skeppy starts kissing Bad’s face and Sapnap pushes himself closer to his dad and starts quietly sobbing in joy.
“I’ll get you food.” George walks away.
“What is this about? Why are you two so touchy?”
“I’m sorry, should we back up? Nick.”
Sapnap immediately backs up. “Sorry. Just happy to see you’re alive.”
“What? Alive? Of course I’m alive.”
“Your heart kept dipping. George was trying his best to keep you stable. Dream is out right now getting Phil. He’s hoping there’s something Phil can do, and he’s sort of worried that there might be lead down in the caves.”
“I don’t think there’s any. I’ve just not been feeling super great lately.”
“Dad! You need to tell us this sooner! What if something’s wrong?”
“I didn’t want to worry anybody.”
“Well too late, Bad!”
Bad looks down at the sheets.
“I’m sorry, baby. Just super worried. Both of us.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Dinner time!” George comes walking in with a bowl of soup. He gently sets the bowl on Bad’s lap. “Careful, it’s hot.”
“Thank you. Have any of you eaten yet?”
The three look at each other.
“Yeah!” Skeppy says nervously.
“Totally!” Sapnap looks at Skeppy with the ‘oh fuck’ eyes.
“Why wouldn’t we?” George looks everywhere except at Bad.
“You guys need to eat! Please.”
“Okay, okay. We just, we couldn’t while you were out. We were scared something might happen while we were gone.” Skeppy looks down sheepishly.
“It’s fine. Go eat. I’ll be fine. It’s soup. If I start choking I know how to do the Heimlich maneuver.”
The three look at each other again.
“Okay. But if you need anything, call for us.” Sapnap looks his dad in the eyes.
“I will.” Bad gives them all a reassuring smile. The three leave the room.
‘Wow. You have a shit ton of people simping for you. The most I got was a kick to the shin and an ‘I guess I can stand your shit for more than five minutes.’ Wow. Lucky bitch.’ Maybe because nobody who’s in their right mind can stand you for one minute. ‘Oi, listen here you shit!’ NO! No! Shut up! The both of you! I’m trying to eat. Just be nice to each other. Please. I beg. Thank you.
---
After Bad finished eating, Halo and Good were back at each other's throats. Skeppy walked in to grab Bad’s bowl. Bad was just staring at the sheets, trying to fight back the headache, until he gave up.
“Bad, are you okay?” Skeppy lays a hand on Bad’s shoulder.
‘Bad’ smacks it away. “Fuck off. Who are you? Thinking you can touch me? Fucking lowlife. You peasants really need to learn some manners.” Why would you let him take control? I’m tired. I’m going to shut down. Just please make sure he isn’t going to get me killed. I’ll do my best.
“Bad, baby-”
“ I’m not your fucking ‘baby’ .”
Sapnap walks in and drops the medicine that he had in his hands. “D-dad?!”
“ Who? Cuz it sure the fuck ain’t me .”
“Bad, I-”
“ Shut the fuck up. Who even are you people ?” ‘ Bad ’ demands.
“I’m your best friend.”
“I’m your son.”
“I’m GeorgeNotFound. Sorry, what are we talking about?”
“ I like the George kid. He seems weak. How easily do you think I could break his neck?”
“Fairly easily, but not while I’m here.” Dream walked over to the window in the room and opened it. Philza flew in and Techno jumped in after him.
“Oh, great. A bird and an overgrown pig. What the fuck else do you people have?”
Ranboo teleports into the room, Tubbo by his side, holding MICHEAL.
“Sorry, he’s in enderwalk again. I’m glad he can teleport me though, so following him is much easier.”
“ Dear god, more people. Who the fuck ?”
Ranboo snaps out of his state. “Oh my goodness, did Bad just cuss?”
Tommy comes running in. “BADBOYHALO JUST CUSSED! POGGERS.” A knife goes whizzing past his head. “Oh SHIT! RETREAT!” Tommy grabbed Ranboo’s hand and the three teleported out, leaving MICHEAL behind on accident. (Don’t worry, Tubbo started freaking out but Ranboo was tired so they couldn't go back. :/)
“⍑ᒷꖎꖎ𝙹?” MICHEAL asks.
“Hi MICHEAL.”
“ʖ╎⊣ ʖ∷𝙹ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷!” MICHEAL stands up and reaches towards Techno.
“ MICHEAL? ” ‘ Bad ’ asks, confused.
“Yeah. He’s Ranboo’s and Tubbo’s.” Tech informs.
“ Let me see him .” ‘ Bad ’ reaches out his arms. MICHEAL reaches for him, thinking it’s Bad . Techno reluctantly hands over the child for fear of angering the demon.
“ Hey buddy .”
MICHEAL tilts his head, confused.
“ Hold on, my enderish sucks and I may end up saying something stupid. ” ‘ Bad ’ takes a deep breath. “ ⍑𝙹∴ ᔑ∷ᒷ ||𝙹⚍ ?”
MICHEAL looks at ‘ Bad ’ and smiles. “||𝙹⚍’⍊ᒷ ⊣𝙹ℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ᒷリ ʖᒷℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ᒷ∷.”
“ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑリꖌ ||𝙹⚍. ||𝙹⚍ ꖌリ𝙹∴ ꖌ╎↸,” MICHEAL tilts his head again, ”||𝙹⚍’∷ᒷ リ𝙹ℸ ̣ ᓭ𝙹 ʖᔑ↸. Aℸ ̣ ꖎᒷᔑᓭℸ ̣ ||𝙹⚍ ↸𝙹リ’ℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ∷|| ℸ ̣ 𝙹 !¡⚍ꖎꖎ 𝙹⎓⎓ ᒲ|| ⍑𝙹∷リᓭ ᒷ⍊ᒷ∷|| ℸ ̣ ╎ᒲᒷ ||𝙹⚍ ᓭᒷᒷ ᒲᒷ. Hᔑ⍑ᔑ. ” A small smile spread across ‘ Bad’ s face. MICHEAL returned the smile although confused.
“You alright bud?” Techno asks concerned.
“ Yeah. I’m fine, why ?”
“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because the last time me and Ranboo tried to tutor you, you cussed on accident.”
“ OH MY GOD! REALLY!? BAD CUSSED!? HOW WAS I NOT THERE FOR THAT!?” ‘ Bad ’ starts laughing.
“What?”
“No idea, that’s why I grabbed both you AND Phil. Maybe he’s hearing voices too and just acting upon them.” Dream ponders.
‘ Bad’s laughing subsided. “What do you mean? I’m my own person.”
“We know you are Bad but we-“ Skeppy tries to touch ‘ Bad 's shoulder again, but he smacks it away.
“ I’m not Bad. I’m GoodBoyHalo. GOOD BoyHalo. Don’t even get me started on how stupid Bad is. I’ve had enough of his shit .”
“Okay. How about we let Phil and Tech take care of… Good. Although I also wanted to check out the caves.” Dream pouts.
“Well Good seems happy to be with MICHEAL so we can go down and if Phil needs anything I’ll just go.”
“Okay, let’s head out. George stay here and assist Phil. Sapnap, I know you’re upset but I need you to come with me. And Skeppy.” Dream looks over at Skeppy. He’s just standing there, in shock. “Skeppy, buddy.”
Skeppy blinks a couple of times and seems to come back. “yes?”
“How about you go talk to Puffy to keep your mind off of things.”
“Okay.” And Skeppy walks out of the house and to Puffy’s. Techno, Dream and Sapnap all leave for the caves.
“George, go get me a wet rag, some flowers and soup, and a thick quilted blanket.” Philza looked down at his med kit.
“Oh it!” George runs out of the house to get the materials needed.
“Good?” Philza looked up.
Good was cooing at MICHEAL and giving him raspberries and blue orchids. MICHEAL had a gold crown on his head, a red cape around him and a fake earring. There was a small dagger sitting in his lap partially covered by the flowers and snacks.
“Is that a knife?!”
Good glared at Phil. “ Yes, it is. You got a problem? The kid needs to learn to defend himself, you know? ”
“Okay,” Phil stood up with a thermometer in hand, “I need MICHEAL to move.”
Good immediately pulls MICHEAL into him and, once again, glares at Phil, “ No. He doesn’t need to move. Whatever you need to do can be done around the kid. ”
“Good, listen, I just need him to get off your lap for a minute so I can get your temperature.”
“ I’ll tell you one thing, I’m as cold as my heart. ”
“So… you’re warm?”
“ What? No. What? ”
“Well you seem to be taking care of MICHEAL really well sooooooo.,”
“ Shut the fuck up.”
“Alright bud, now come here, put this in your mouth.”
“ Eww, no that’s gay.”
“You have a boyfriend.”
“ Shut the fuck up. I love him, so it’s not bad when we’re together, but like I don’t know you dude. You could be trying to poison me to do who knows what.”
“Would you rather have me do this anally?”
“ O-O N-no, I’m good.”
“Exactly. Now open.”
“ No. ” “Open.” “ NO! ”
“Dear god. You’re even more of a baby than MICHEAL is.”
Good gasps, “ No I am -“ Phil sticks the thermometer in Good’s mouth and holds it in place. Good let’s out a little growl and Phil pulls out the thermometer.
“98. Okay. Your temp. is normal.”
Good growls and bats at Phil’s face. He catches Good’s arm.
“Aww, is the baby mad?” Growls “Aww, is that a warning?” Deeper growl “Aww, are you gonna bite me?” Good bites at Phil, who just barely manages to dodge. “Holy fuck mate! I was joking! God, you’re feral!” Good smiles, showing off his sharp canines. Phil pulls his arm closer to himself.
“I’m back! I couldn’t find one of the flowers and- oh. Guess I didn’t need to. You good, Phil?”
“The fucking man-child tried to bite me!”
“ You started it! ”
MICHEAL gently rubs against Good’s arm and he immediately backs down and pulls MICHEAL into a hug, gently grooming his hair with his tongue.
George walks over to the two and gently lays the quilt over them. Good takes to the warmth and sinks into the bed. George then lays a warm damp rag on his forehead, and Good sinks deeper into the bed, looking as if he is almost asleep, still grooming MICHEAL’s head. But having a half-awake/passed out Good is better than having a fully awake one, or none at all.
---Meanwhile in the caves---
“Why couldn’t I go to Puffy’s with Papa?”
“Because,” Dream hands Sap a pickaxe.
“What do you want me to do with this? Start hitting shit?”
Dream and Techno look at each other and do that shrug/nod thing.
“Cool,”
[Caps]
“FUCK! WHY DOESN’T HE LOVE ME! WHAT DID I DO WRONG! DAD COME BACK, PLEASE! I MISS YOU! WHAT HAPPENED! WHY DON’T YOU LOVE PAPA! PLEASE, DAD!” Sap starts sobbing and hitting at the nearby rocks. “ARE WE NOT ENOUGH?! DO YOU WANT MORE?! PLEASE!” Sap goes to swing again, not really paying attention and Techno grabs his hands above his head. Sap drops the pickaxe and falls back into Tech’s arms, he starts uncontrollably crying, stuttering, and hiccupping. Dream comes over and they all embrace in a hug, sitting on the floor. Sap calms down and just sits for a minute to calm down the rest of the way.
“Okay, I’m okay.”
“Okay, when we’re done down here you can go to Puffy’s, okay?”
“Okay.”
---At Puffy’s therapy with Skeppy---
“Okay. Can you tell me why you’re here?”
“Bad isn’t Bad anymore.”
“Pardon?”
“The man I fell in love with isn’t who I fell in love with anymore.” Skeppy sniffles.
“Hey, don’t fall apart yet. Could you elaborate?”
“Okay. Um, heh, uhm. Bad was completely normal this morning, well as normal as the dumbass can get, heh. He then got dizzy in the caves and Dream and I carried him out and when he woke up he was still, Bad. My baby. Then out of nowhere, when I come back, it isn’t him anymore.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“He was cussing, an-and,” Skeppy gasps.”
“Take your time.”
“Okay.” Skeppy takes a deep breath, “He was cussing, and he told me to fuck off. He said he wasn’t my baby and that he didn’t know who we were. He denied being Sap’s dad .He kept smacking my hand away, and he looked like he hated me. He was aggressive and rude and mean and nothing like my Bad Boy. He said his name was Good boyhalo, or some shit, I don’t know, I just felt lost in that moment. Then Dream told me to come here so I don’t know what’s going on right now.”
“Okay, and how does that make you feel?”
“Like shit.”
---Therapy session that Sap joins in halfway and supports Skeppy and talks about his problems too. [Because I’m too lazy to write all that :/ Also is now nighttime or smth]---
Everyone gathers back at the house and Good had fallen asleep. Everyone waited and watched wondering what would happen when he wakes up. Or who wakes up. Tubbo and Ranboo reappeared with Tommy, Purpled, and Jack, who were talking about how ‘Bad’ had cussed. Tubbo was anxious and wanted his baby back. Phil reassured him that Good had done nothing and was actually extremely thankful to have him and kept giving him little gifts. Everyone was on edge until Bad woke up.
‘ Oh come on! Really? Fuck dude! ’ Calm down, Good. Halo’s got this. ‘ Fine ’
His eyes opened and immediately he shut them again, he tried multiple times to get his eyes to adjust but they couldn’t. Luckily, Techno understood and turned off the lights. Bad sat up and his eyes started to glow this almost unnatural light. Like an angler fish. He looked at the child in his lap and gently nudged him. MICHEAL woke up and smiled.
“What are you, child?”
“I’m a piglin. I’m MICHEAL.”
“Hello, MICHEAL. Where are your parents?”
MICHEAL turned around and looked at Tubbo. Bad pointed to Tubbo and gently growled. A growl no one could hear, except Ranboo and MICHEAL. MICHEAL nodded and Bad handed MICHEAL to Tubbo, who embraced him tightly and smiled at Bad . Bad moved himself into a crouching position at the top of the bed. His eyes scanned the room and landed on Skeppy.
“ Skeppy? ” He said in Bad’s voice but deeper, darker.
“Hello, Baby.”
Bad quickly stood up, grabbed Skeppy and went back to his position. He gently sniffed Skeppy and started to purr, rubbing his scent on him, marking his territory.
Sapnap was about to leave when, “ Son? ” Sap quickly turned around. He climbed into his Dad’s lap and Bad quickly scented him too.
Up until now, everything Bad had been saying sounded nice. “ Child. ” Tommy quickly turned around and fucking pissed himself. [not really] This time Bad sounded like Wilbur. He was trying to lure him in for the kill.
“Why the fOck do you sound like Wilby?!”
“ Language! ”
“Fock.”
Bad growled, once again, not audibly but you could feel it. Tommy immediately jumped out the window and yelled ‘retreat’. Purpled and Jack followed straight after.
“ Head start. ”
“What?” Skeppy looked up at Bad. His eyes were slotted and Skeppy and Sap quickly got off of Bad’s lap. Once they moved Bad jumped out the window and sprinted after Tommy, quickly catching up to him. He tackled him to the ground then put his shirt in between his teeth and carried Tommy back to the room where he promptly laid him down and started padding at his back. Halo, no. He’s not food. Bad growled and got back onto the bed, pulling his family back to him.
“ Hungry. ”
“Okay. Do we still have soup?”
George nodded.
“Would you like that?”
Bad shrugs indifferently and George left to get a bowl of soup.
“What’s your name, Dad?”
It’s Halo. Remember? “ Halo. ”
George came back in with the soup and sat it on the end of the bed. Halo reached for it and quickly took it. He lapped at the soup for a minute then chugged that shit. He sat the bowl down and happily purred while licking his lips.
“You want more?”
Halo nods aggressively. George comes back with another bowl and Halo chugs that. Three more bowls later and a lot of happy purring and patting at the bed to make a more comfortable nest, his hunger was finally satiated. [These are big boi bowls too. Something you would make cakes in or some shizz. Dang Halo.] He grabs George and sits him on his lap. “ Soup man. ” Then starts gently grooming him.
“Hah, soup man. I think you’re his favourite now George.”
“hehe. I hope not. :)”
After a while of Halo being territorial, wanting food, wanting attention, and wanting to go outside, he finally got tired enough to go to sleep. He aggressively snuggled his family, [yes, including Soup Man] and fell asleep. When Bad woke up he giggled. “Good morning~” The other three hit him with pillows and went back to dormancy. “I’m back.” Sap and Skep immediately hugged him and started cooing over him, then George gets up.
“Yo, what the heck has the last day been about?”
“Uhm, I guess I owe you all an explanation, huh?”
“No shit Baby, no shit.”
“mm, Okay. Get the others.”
---Everyone now gathered outside---
“So. I have my twin brother’s consciousness inside me and also my Demon’s. Granted I am a demon myself but I’ve never been like most other demons so I’ve gained a consciousness in which all of my neglected demon-ness goes, such as being more aggressive, being territorial, mimicking voices instead of using our own because it’s too deep for others to hear. Pretty fun.”
“Why do you have your twin’s though?” Sap asks.
“Oh, well he died. So now-“ ‘ Fuck you! ’ Watch it! “Okay, I just talked to him. Yeah, but he’s dead and because he didn’t want to die I decided to keep him. Now he’s mad at me.”
“Okay, how do you have a voice?”
“Well, it’s not technically my own. This is my voice.” *Intense growling and grunts that you can feel but can’t hear* “I tried to make myself louder to see if that would work but I don’t think it did.”
Ranboo and MICHEAL covering their ears. “We heard you loud and clear.”
“Cool! Anyways, this is my Idol’s voice, Darryl. Pretty cool guy once you meet him.”
“You’ve met him?!” Tommy asks bewildered.
“Well yes. I’d think you know that Tommy. But anyways I can die over and over again, so I meet him every time I die. He’s nice to talk to.”
“Okay. Is there any way that we could get Good out of your head? Because he seems to be the only one causing problems.” Phil questions.
“Maybe. If you could make a replica of my body then transfer Good’s consciousness over to it, that might work.”
“Why haven’t you thought of this before?”
“Because I didn’t want people to think I’m weird.”
“Bad, I am a legitimate Blood God. I hear voices everywhere. You’re not weird. You’re different and that’s good.”
“Aww, thank you Techno.”
“Yeah, don’t expect more of that.”
“Okay :3”
“Well then, let’s get started!”
---Months of work and prep for Good’s mind to be moved.---
“Do you really think it’s gonna work? What’s with all these wires?”
“They’re to keep you stable Bad. And we better hope this works cuz this could just kill you.” Phil quickly ran into the other room.
“What?! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
---Minutes of screaming ensues.---
*Transaction complete*
Techno rushes into the room. “Bad, you good?”
“Owie. :(“
“It worked!! HE’S ALIVE! YES!” Phil walked into the room.
Good sat up on the table. His skin is milky white, and his clothes just as but with accents of blue.
“Good!”
“Bad!”
The brothers hug and hold each other for a solid minute. They separate.
“Fuck Jehovah, I’m so glad I’m free! Ha hah!”
“Language!”
“No! Bitch! Whooooooooo!!!........... Wait. I wanna leave. I wanna go back home. I wanna see Jef! I wanna be my baby! I wanna see Nap! I fuckin’ hate Nightmare, but I still want to see his stupid fuckin’ face! I wanna go home. Please.”
“Lucky you, that me and the other two idiots were working on that. Come on!” Dream left just as quickly as he came in. The others rush after him and they see a portal, once again white with blue accents.
“We’re pretty sure the other side is Black with Red accents. We don’t know. The only people who can come and go are You and Bad. And others if they have permission from you two.”
Good immediately rushes into the portal. His head pops back out, “It is! Bad come on!”
“Okay okay!” Bad goes through the portal.
“Jef!”
“Good!” The two run to each other and embrace. Napsap comes running over to his father.
“Papa!”
“Nappi! My baby, my babies!”
“Papa, you’re back!”
“I am. And I’m here to stay.”
Nap looks over Good’s shoulder. “Who’s that?”
Good looks over too. Bad waves. “That’s your Uncle Bad. He’s the only reason I’m still alive in the first place. There were others that helped me get here but they aren’t important.”
Jef and Nap run over to Bad and hug him. “Thank you!” They both shout. They pull away and Good goes back for one last hug. “Remember to visit, okay? I don’t trust myself going back.”
“I promise.”
They hug and Good licks Bad one last time before he returns through the portal.
“How’d it go?” Skeppy asks giving Bad a hug.
“It went great. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen Jef and Nap. Good said to come back so maybe I’ll bring you and Sappi next time.”
---
Everyone lived happily ever after. Bad visits once a month with Skep and Sap. Everything is fine other than every other day drama. The End.
