Work Text:
Bad and Skeppy are sitting on the bean bag in Bad's dorm, legs tangled and arms wrapped around waist and shoulders. Foolish was off campus visiting his mother, so they had the dorm to themselves for the weekend.
They've been switching between lazing around in each other's dorms and going out for walks around campus.
Now it's dorm time, and they were watching some anime Bad suggested. Emphasis on were. Now they were just making out, Bad's laptop long forgotten on his bed while they got lost in the taste of each other.
Skeppy was thoroughly enjoying himself when he heard a sort of thumping sound. He cracked an eye open to see if he could find the source, but the only thing he could really see was his boyfriend's stupidly cute face. He closed his eyes again until his curiosity overpowered the urge to keep kissing the demon in his arms.
He pulled away to give the room a proper look around.
Bad chased the fleeting feeling of Skeppy's lips before fluttering his eyes open to see what was taking his boyfriend away from him.
"What is it?" He murmured, a dazed look on his features as he studied the diamond's face. Skeppy took a second to answer, leaning forward to look over Bad's shoulder when he couldn't find the source coming from anywhere else. The sound slowed significantly too once they broke apart, but still it was close.
That was when Skeppy saw it, a grin spreading on his face at the sight. "Oh, it's your tail!"
"My wha— oh," Bad looked behind himself to see that his tail was indeed wagging and thumping against the plush bean bag. His cheeks reddened and eyes widened at the realization, quickly grabbing the appendage in embarrassment.
"S-sorry, I don't— didn't even realize—" his apologies were cut short by a kiss on the corner of his mouth. He turned to see Skeppy staring at him with the widest grin of adoration. "What?"
"Don't be sorry, I think it's cute," Skeppy cupped the side of Bad's face with his hand. "Means you're happy, right? Or excited?" Bad nodded feebly, refusing to release the death grip he had on his tail as he willed it to stop moving. Even with Skeppy's compliment, he found it embarrassing.
Skeppy only giggled, "glad to know I excite you, BadBoy." The demon made a noise that was a cross between embarrassed and annoyed, letting his head fall onto Skeppy's shoulder. That only caused the younger to laugh more as he reached down to grab the hand Bad was using to conceal the movement of his tail. It wasn't wagging nearly as much. Well that just won't do.
"You're so adorable," Skeppy smiled, leaning forward to peck his demon's shoulder. Bad lifted his head to mumble something about being cool and hardcore instead, but he was quickly shut up by Skeppy's lips on his.
While their lips pushed against each other, the diamond took the hand he still had a hold of and put it back in its rightful place on his waist. He trailed his own hand back up Bad's flannel sleeve as they continued, keeping at a slow and sweet pace.
Skeppy's smile imprinted on Bad's lips when the thumping started back up again. The demon made a move to grab at his tail, but Skeppy wouldn't let him. He clutched at Bad's wrist to keep it from moving, and Bad made a strangled noise from the back of his throat.
Skeppy pulled away for a moment, just a little so their breaths would still intermingle between them. He still wore the adoring smile from before, big brown eyes keeping Bad from moving anymore. "You don't gotta hide your tail, Bad. I like it," Skeppy said bluntly, then his smile turned more impish as a thought crossed his mind. "You're like a puppy. PuppyDogHalo," maybe it wasn't the best way to make Bad feel less embarrassed, but he couldn't help but tease his boyfriend just a little bit.
The brunet groaned, but he couldn't help the way his tail wagged faster at the nickname. "I'm not a dog, Sgeppy..." He pouted, internally cursing at his stupid tail as it displayed how he truly felt about the nickname.
The diamond seemed to catch on, snickering as he heard the thumping grow louder and faster. "Of course not, just saying you remind me of one. My little puppy dog," he continued, laughter only growing as Bad hid his face in the crook of Skeppy's neck. It didn't matter that Bad was taller and broader than Skeppy, right now he felt so small in his hold. He pressed kisses into Bad's hair, biting back a howling laugh at the small, almost silent whimper from the demon.
"Oh my God, you're way too cute," he grabbed Bad by his cheeks to look him in the eyes. He smooshed the older's cheeks as his laughter began bubbling from his vocal chords. "I'm gonna die of cuteness overload."
"Shut upppp.!" Was Bad's only comeback, his tail thumping vehemently against the beanbag still. He could say he hated it all he wants, truth was he liked the attention. "You're so.. you're making me embarrassed.!" He complained, clearly flustered even as his boyfriend's infectious laughter made a smile creep onto his own face.
Skeppy's tongue poked out absentmindedly as he squished Bad's cheeks some more, making his lips pucker out like fish, "maybe FishBoyHalo is more like it." High-pitched giggles were muffled behind his lips at the sight. Bad did nothing to remove himself from the situation, only making grumpy faces and even more grumpy sounding noises. Yet his tail wagged on.
"You're so stupid," Bad complained, words slurred from not being able to properly open his mouth.
"Yeah, look who's talking," Skeppy chuckled, releasing the demon's cheeks to instead run his hands through the demon's hair. At least he seemed to appreciate that a lot more, closing his eyes and leaning into the hand that basically pet him. "Definitely a cute kind of stupid, though. Like a dog," he pointed out the connection again.
"Sgeppyyy!!" Bad whined, though he didn't move away from the man. It made Skeppy giggle, a much softer giggle this time, full of only the utmost adoration for the demon hybrid.
The diamond sighed, fingers still tangling into the hair on Bad's scalp. "I love you," he said dreamily, making Bad's eyes finally open again since he'd started petting him. Those hazel eyes staring up at him, his heart being squeezed by the softest of gazes from his boyfriend.
"I love you too, Skeppy," and the tanner man swears he could feel his heart flutter in his chest. It didn't matter how many times they said it, it was like the first time every time.
No more words were shared between the two, as Skeppy leaned forward and placed a short and sweet kiss on the other's lips before laying his head down on the beanbag chair. It was time for a nap, he decided. Bad seemed to get the memo rather quick, scooting in closer as he wrapped his arms securely around Skeppy's waist again. He tucked his head into the crook of Skeppy's neck again, his favorite place to lay down apparently, and they both slowed their breathing as they got comfortable.
Now the only sound in the room was their quieting breaths and the thumping of Bad's tail steadily slowing down. It wasn't long before both men drifted off to sleep together, not caring about the future soreness from sleeping on a bean bag.
