Skiddzie handed Proto’s leash to Izzy. “You guys sure that you can take care of a dog?” Skiddzie asked. Izzy rolled his eyes. “Dude, we’re not, like, Lynix taking care of Proto. Izzy’s taken care of Proto before!” Tico says. Danny stands up from the couch and walks over, stopping next to Skid. “Yes, but last time Iz pupsat Proto, he was a normal dog. No cyborg counterparts” Danny reasoned. Izzy just looked at Danny, uncertain. Izzy knew that Danny didn't want to leave Proto, but Iz still reasoned with him. “Bro, wasn’t that Skeppy that did that? Yeah, I was there, but I did not hurt Proto” Danny couldn’t maintain eye contact anymore, he looked down at the ground, guilt spread across his face. “Nevermind, we’re not doing that now” Danny spoke up. Skid smiled at how well Danny handled the situation. “Alright guys, and Proto, see ya in a bit!” Skiddzie waved as the boys took Proto.
Now on the couch, with a shit ton of snacks and drinks, the two boys collapsed onto each other in the perfect cuddle position. Danny’s head was in Skiddzie’s lap. Skid was playing with Danny’s tangled hair, while drinking a soda. The ironic part? They were all ready for the movie, yet they hadn’t even chosen one yet.
“So uh, what’dya wanna watch, babe?” Danny asked, looking up at Skid. Skid shrugged.
“Comedy?” He suggested.
“Hm, sure. Jeff Dunham?”
”Hell yeah!”
“PEANUT STOP IT!” The sound of the movie, Skid and Danny’s laughter, the popping of popcorn, that’s music to Skiddzie’s ears. The movie scene that cracked them both up was Peanut saying, “Oh Jeff-fa-fa! Oh Jeff-fa-fa!”. Danny started laughing uncontrollably, and Skiddzie had to hold his waist so he [Danny] didn’t fall off the couch, even though Skid was laughing just as hard.
When the two boys stopped binging Jeff Dunham, it was almost midnight. Danny yawned, “hm, babe, can you carry me up? I’m so tired, I think my legs will fall off if I get up”. Danny make grabby hands to Skiddzie. Skid laughed half-heartedly, “sure baby! You wanna take a bath? We’re all gross with soda and popcorn butter on us”. Danny nodded, his head still in Skiddzie’s lap. Skid lifted Danny’s head slightly so he could get up, and scooped Danny up and stumbled into the bathroom, their legs still slightly numb from sitting for hours at a time. Danny slid out of Skiddzie’s arms onto the edge of the bathtub. Skid left to get bubbles and spoil Danny with rose petals. Danny turned the bath on to a comfortable temperature, and undressed. Luckily, he was only in his hoodie and Skiddzie’s sweats. When Skiddzie walked in, Danny was on the edge of the tub, which was now full. Skid smiled, “I’m supposed to be spoiling you, not the other way around”. “You’re such a top” Danny remarked. Skid rolled his eyes and accepted defeat. He poured the bubbles in the water and spread the rose petals over the bubbles. Skiddzie quickly undressed, slid in the bath, and carefully pulled Danny in too, all in one smooth motion. Danny laid on top of the taller male. Skid kissed the top of his head. They lay in that position for a few more minutes, then Skid began to clean himself and Danny. Danny yawned, then began to fall asleep in Skiddzie’s grasp. When Skid noticed Danny had fallen asleep, he carefully got him and Danny out of the tub, safely, and walked to their bedroom. Skid dried Danny off, and dressed him. He did the same for himself. Danny unconsciously pulled the blankets up, and Skid climbed into bed. “Mm, love you babe” Skid whispered into Danny’s ear. He swore he saw Danny smile just a bit.
