Skeppy stretched, falling flat against his bed.

It was getting late, and he was waiting for Bad to finish streaming.

He had the stream up but the tab muted as he wrote something in a doc. Total concentration, he reasoned.

It was a bad idea in hindsight.

Skeppy heard the bedroom door open and hesitated footsteps. He peered around his laptop, finding Bad at the foot of the bed fidgeting with his fingers.

He brows furrowed and he glanced back at his screen. The Twitch tab hadn't changed and he tapped on it just to check.

The game stood still and it was completely silent. Chat had started asking if Bad was ok and where he had gone.

Bad began crawling into bed and up to Skeppy.

Skeppy moved his laptop from his lap and let Bad replace the device. His breaths were deep but uneven, like he was having a hard time calming himself down.

"Bad? You ok? Something happen?" Skeppy asked carefully. Bad sniffled.

"Am I annoying?"

His voice was small. So incredibly small Skeppy would've had to ask Bad to repeat himself had the elder not been in his lap.

Skeppy responded immediately, "No no of course not. You absolutely are not, love. What happened?" He made sure to keep his tone soft, not pushing Bad too much.

"So many donos.. I- They all said such horrible things. About me, and you and my friends and Rat and and-" Then came the tears. Skeppy's heart broke.

"Oh love. I'm so sorry." Skeppy held his face and wiped the tears away. Bad fought away his hands, Skeppy kept to himself until Bad started speaking again.

"Don't be. It's so stupid I don't even know why I'm crying o-or why I'm here. I-I'm supposed to be happy and strong and s-someone kids can look up to." Bad tried wiping his eyed but tears just kept coming.

"I'm sup- supposed to be a pos-sitive light who doesn't get upset b-by dumb ha-hate comments." Bad's bottom lip quivered as he held himself in.

"Bad... You're allowed to feel hurt. You don't have to be happy all the time, that's not healthy. You can feel negative emotions. You can cry." Skeppy held Bad's face again. Bad didn't fight back.

He broke. He absolutely crumbled in Skeppy's hold, falling against him and sobbing his frustrations out. Skeppy said nothing as he rocked him, pressing kisses to his temple in between comforting ramblings.

His attention shifted to Bad's stream for a moment. He'd have to end that for him if he didn't want to go back.

"M' sorry.." Bad mumbled and sniffed.

"You're ok, love. It happens to all of us."

Bad nuzzled his face into Skeppy's shoulder, letting his breathing even out.

Skeppy waited a while, watching Bad's chat talk to themselves now that they were starting to come to terms with their streamer not returning.

"You want me to end your stream?" Skeppy asked. He felt Bad shake his head.

"I will. Not gonna continue, though."

"That's fine, love." Skeppy kissed his temple again.

"... Sorry again."

Skeppy sighed, "You're perfectly ok, Bad. You don't bother me one bit."

"You sure?"

"Absolutely. I'd would be the worst boyfriend if I told you to go away during a breakdown." Skeppy felt Bad smile against his neck. That made him happy.

"Ok."
