The Muffiny Kings (Skephalo Sequel) COMPLETED

The Broken Diamond

Dream sat with Bad in the library while Technoblade was "talking" to the king. The king didn't want to cooperate with Technoblade, but Techno wouldn't accept that.

Each time the king screamed, Dream tried to cough over it. So Bad wouldn't get worried.

"So...Bad, we're going to have Skeppy home so soon!" Dream said excitedly to distract him from hearing the horrors in the other room.

Bad nodded slowly. "I hope so, I really miss him." He wasn't feeling the best considering he couldn't eat or sleep.

"I know you do... we'll find-"

"AH! MY FUCKING ARM!" The king yelled.

Dream coughed extra loud. "I think I'm getting something, jeez..."

Bad blinked slowly, knowing his coughing was fake. "You don't say...Should we go check on them?"

"Noooo... definitely not." Dream shivered, only imagining the sight that they would see in there.

"Okay..." Bad sighed and waited patiently for Technoblade to come back.

Once Technoblade came in the room, Dream dreaded to see what shape the king was in. Techno had a modest amount of blood on his hands. "Alright, I know where we're going. Let's go."

Bad walked over slowly, and looked down at his hands. "What did you do?!"

Dream got up and put a hand on Bad's shoulder to calm him down. "You must have had to be hard on him. Did he really put up that big of a fight?"

"Well, you see he gave me Skeppy's location pretty easily. I only had to threaten him. Seeing as Skeppy is in a "behavioral correction facility" for, in his words, "sick homosexuals". I had to... be a bit more harsh. Correct his behavior if you will. Honestly, I would of killed him. I just can't get in trouble for another murder right now." Techno explained.

"Another?" Bad gulped.

"That son of a bitch...do you know where exactly he is?" Dream knew Techno definitely would of found out.

"Obviously. We can go there right now. We just...can't sign him out. Only his parents can."

Dream looked at Bad. "Let's take the queen?"

Bad nodded "yeah! Yeah, let's go get the queen." He quickly went to alert the queen that they were about to go save Skeppy.

The queen agreed to go, of course. She wanted her son back more than anything. Thankfully she hadn't found out about her husband's injuries. She probably wouldn't of cared if she did know. He had told her Skeppy was taken away for treatment, but he wouldn't tell her where. When she asked about it, he threatened to hurt her.

They traveled to the facility together. Though at this point Technoblade was wondering what he was getting out of this. Besides the chance to beat up a couple bastards.

When they arrived, the queen quickly went inside. Bad wanted to go in too, but Dream stopped him. Afraid that Bad would be hurt just for going in there. Not to mention he'd probably have a breakdown if he saw Skeppy in
there.

Bad waited anxiously for Skeppy in the carriage. The diamond kingdom had a thing for traveling in an extravagant horse drawn carriage. He bit his lip, and mentally prepared himself for whatever happened next.

The queen was gone for a long time, and they started to get worried. Just as Technoblade was about to get out and go in, the queen returned. Skeppy was with her, shuddering as he walked.

Dream opened the carriage door, and offered Skeppy a hand to help him up.

Skeppy refused instantly and got in by himself.

Bad instinctively yanked Skeppy into the tightest hug of his life. Crying tears of joy to see Skeppy alive. "YOUR ALIVE! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!"

Skeppy was eager to push Bad off, and he sat next to his mother. Still shivering.

His mother wrapped an arm around him. "It's okay honey...you're safe now."

Skeppy flinched at the word honey and started crying.

Bad was still hurt from being denied a hug. "Are you okay Skeppy? What happened in there?" Bad reached over and put a hand on his knee, as the carriage started moving.

Skeppy shook his head and brushed Bad's hand off.

Technoblade cleared his throat. "He's been in there for how long?"

"Couple weeks?" Dream answered.

"Right...he's not going to be okay for awhile." Techno informed him.

Bad frowned, feeling his heart sting. "What did they do to him?"

The queen pulled up Skeppy's sleeve, and held his arm up.

Everyone gasped at the burn marks. Dream couldn't believe they would do that to him. Technoblade wished he had been the one to go in. He would of sorted them out.

Bad started crying. "No, no, no...I'm so sorry, I tried to get to you as fast as I could." He wanted to hug and comfort Skeppy, but Skeppy didn't want to be touched by him.

The queen hugged her son, and he cried quietly in her arms. Being his mother, she was the only one he was okay with right now.

When they got back, Technoblade and Dream headed back to their kingdoms. They had their own lives to get back to. Bad got all of his and Skeppy's things ready, and decided to leave that night. He didn't want to stay in the castle one more night. Not with the twisted king.

The journey home was a living hell for Skeppy.

Skeppy kept panicking the whole way home. Bad couldn't comfort him. Anytime he got close, his lover would scream at him.

"Skeppy please...I don't know all what they did to you. Based off the marks on your arms, I know it was terrible. Just...please stop freaking out. I'm not going to hurt you, no one is going to hurt you again." Bad tried to reason with the diamond man.

Skeppy looked into Bad's eyes. He knew he wanted to embrace Bad. Everytime he thought about it, he could feel the hot iron going across his skin again. "I- I want to get a divorce."

Bad's heart just about stopped, he was sure he'd need CPR right there. "H-huh?! A divorce? Why?!"

Skeppy rubbed his eyes. "I- please, Divorce."

Bad covered his face and started crying. They truly did break him. Not cure him, but they broke him.

Skeppy felt horrible but he'd never be the same again. It would take months for him to recover his relationship with Bad. "I can't be with you, I just...want to divorce and go home."

Bad coughed, being choked on his own tears. He nodded "mhm..." As painful as it was, he wasn't going to tell Skeppy he wasn't allowed to divorce him. That would be toxic. For now he had to go along with what Skeppy wanted. Knowing it was probably the results of trauma.
