Chapter Text
It was a simple video idea, really.
Bedwars with Badboyhalo’s stupid tactic and Christmas Surprise
His recording quality would probably be shit along with his pings, considering the crappy hotel wifi. He even paid for better wifi access. What a rip off.
Besides the point, Bad was on the other end of the call telling Skeppy of all the ways to win in Bedwars. They were on the same team playing against other teams. It had been an hour so far and Skeppy was getting impatient, but it wasn’t the right time yet. He wanted them to lose at least two more games. 'Hotdog strat' and Heal pool would fail them eventually. It was just taking too long for them to lose.
So he helped that happen.
Bad was getting frustrated at their losses and Skeppy conveniently said he had to go AFK as a new game started. Bad got upset but let him leave anyway. How could he say no?
Skeppy quickly tossed his jacket and shoes on, starting a recording on his phone as he walked down the halls of the hotel, “Hey guys, I’m on my way to see Bad!”
Skeppy ended the recording to run down the busy city streets and down a more secluded street, locating Bad’s house. Getting his address for all those Pizza's really paid off.
Skeppy pulled his phone back out and held it at his stomach level, having the front facing camera showing his chin in the recording. “Here goes nothing..” Skeppy said and raised a fist to knock on the door. It was snowing outside hard , but for some reason Skeppy couldn’t knock. Was he nervous?
He had wanted this meetup for years now.. Why was he hesitating? Why now was he stuck? He was fucking Skeppy, he didn't chicken out of anything.
“What do I say?” Skeppy asked softly, keeping his voice a whisper, “I can’t just stay silent.”
Skeppy started rambling different greetings he could say, being too nervous to notice his lips turning blue and his violently shaking figure. But at least he figured out what he would say. It only took 20 minutes. Anything for Bad, he decided.
Skeppy knocked softly on the door and started to panic when he heard Bad acknowledge the knock on the door. It was Christmas Eve, 2021, and he didn’t even have a present for Bad, it was back at the hotel. Of course he would forget it like an idot.
Skeppy’s stomach was in knots as he felt sick. This was it, the moment he was waiting for for 3 years. And he was sick and nervous. He swore he wasn’t nervous when he got up and left the hotel, or when he left his home to come here. But now he was sweating in the blizzardous snow. Had it been snowing this hard before? Had his throat always had a lingering taste of bile?
“Hello?” Bad asked when he opened the door then gasped, “Geppy?”
Skeppy’s mind blanked the camera just capturing his ‘deer in headlights’ look.
Okay, he could say something now. Like, actually talk. Like.. words.
Shit, Shit, Shit. This is real. Bad is right there, in front of him.
Skeppy raised a shaky hand and put it on Bad’s shoulder and Bad gave him the softest smile he could and placed his hand on Skeppy’s, “Hey Skeppy.”
Skeppy felt Bad under his hand, he was real. This was real. Not some sick twisted dream where he wakes up alone. This was real life. “Hey Bad.” Skeppy said, it was weak and hardly there.
Bad shifted a bit and the light hit Skeppy enough for Bad to see his face. Suddenly Bad’s hands were on Skeppy’s face, “Oh gosh Skeppy, you’re freezing! How long have you been out here? My goodness, get inside.”
Skeppy ended the video in the frenzy of being tugged inside the house and sat on a couch. Bad shuffled off to the kitchen and did a few things, returning a minute or two later with a warm cup of hot cocoa. Skeppy took it in his hands and relaxed at the warmth. Or maybe he was relaxing into the idea of Bad. He could revisit that later.
“I think I was outside for 20 minutes.. Maybe more.”
“What?!” Bad frowned, “Why?”
“I was trying to figure out what to say to you.” Skeppy shrugged, “I got nervous.” Bad sat next to Skeppy and let Skeppy rest his head on his shoulder, both of their faces turning a dark red and Skeppy suddenly wasn’t cold. “Sorry.”
“Don’t apologize, Muffin. I’m happy to see you.”
Skeppy sighed, “I left your present at the hotel.”
“Wait, Geppy, how did you get here from the hotel, I didn’t hear a car.”
Skeppy chuckled nervously, “I ran?”
“What?!” Bad would glare at him if they were facing each other but he only sighed, “I’m glad you finally decided to knock, you could get sick from being out in the snow too long.” Bad put a hand in Skeppy’s hair, “Besides, you’re all the present I need, muffinhead.”
Skeppy chuckled, “Is it too early to say that I love you?”
“Awww I love you too!” Bad beamed and Skeppy set his drink down, moving to cup Bad’s face.
“No, Bad..” Skeppy gave a nervous smile, “I love , love you.”
Bad tilted his head before he let out a soft ‘oh’
Bad then laughed a bit and Skeppy dropped his hands, his heart sinking. Oh god. This was it, the rejection of a lifetime, and now he would have a cold ass walk back to the hotel. If Skeppy had more dignity he would have just left now and accepted the facts before having to hear them, but maybe he hates himself enough to want to hear the rejection.
But a rejection never came, only a soft pressure on his lips and gentle hands on his face. It took Skeppy a moment to process and in that minute, Bad started to pull away, afraid he messed up.
Skeppy grabbed his face and pressed their lips together again, this time with the intent of a real kiss.
They kissed till they needed to breathe and simply pressed their foreheads together. Skeppy licked his lips and Bad’s eyes tracked the movement eagerly. Skeppy only chuckled like the muscle hadn’t just been roaming Bad’s mouth as much as his hands roamed the body before him.
“Now for the real questions.” Skeppy said softly.
“If I’ll be your boyfriend? Because yes.” Bad smiled and Skeppy chuckled.
“Yes, that, and..” Skeppy pressed a gentle kiss to Bad’s nose lips, “If heal pools are really worth it.”
“You muffinhead,” Bad chuckled and pecked Skeppy’s lips, “But yes, yes they are.”
“If you kiss me again, maybe I’ll agree.” Skeppy smirked and got as he asked for, both collapsing on the couch in a fit of giggles.
The Christmas video did never come out. But that didn’t matter, Skeppy and Bad were happy with each other and surely everyone would understand. <3
