“ I’m the one who’s supposed to keep you safe, Skid. What if something happens and I’m not there? “
“ Pumpy, I’ll always do the same for you. You just really really really need to relax sometimes. Aren’t you the same person who helped me get rid of that doll? “
“ Y-Yeah, but that thing almost killed us. “
“ We got rid of it together. If we could do that, then I bet we can get through the most dangerous shit in our lives! “
…
Pump wasn’t so sure about that especially how Skid worded it, but he hugs back and strokes his lover’s hair. He’ll always keep him safe and has his way of doing it.
This pumpkin child will always be there for him no matter what!

“ S-Skid… I’m so sorry… I should h-have went with you… “
He was holding a picture frame of his beautiful chubby husband. Pump cries and holds it tightly “ I-I wanted to watch our beautiful baby girl grow up with y-you… I want those fights back, I want to fix it with you… “.
The adult couldn’t even look at the picture without crying again. He can’t believe this happened so suddenly and especially when their adoptive daughter had turned five years old two weeks ago.
He thought they would finally get a break after they adopted her ( despite her being a troublemaker )…
He thought he could comment on his partner’s wonderful body everyday of his life…
Pump wanted to hold him right in his arms and give him so many complements. Unfortunately that was taken away and he could never see Skid again…
“ I-I couldn’t keep you s-safe, Esqueleto… “
