Aboulomania [Skephalo]

Chapter 20

Darryl's POV

I woke up in the morning feeling exhausted and light-headed, not the best way to wake up in my opinion. I got ready and put on a sky blue t-shirt and black jeans, then I headed to the bathroom. I combed my hair and made sure to hide my scar, then I brushed my teeth. I went to my room and grabbed my backpack, then I looked around my room to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything.

Oh! My mom's necklace, how could I forget?

I grabbed it and put it on carefully, then I headed out in my slightly beat-up car. I listened to Starset until I made it to the school, then I met up with my friends at the front. I smiled when Sapnap greeted me with a warm smile, then I saw the others. Dream, George, Techno, and Tommy all chatting together. I joined their conversation, something about PvP and bedwars, but everyone knew I was the best.

I was kinda bummed that Skeppy wasn't here yet, but he said he was going to bring my hoodie so I waited patiently... Unless he got sick or something happened.

I turned away from the driveway and started talking to everyone again. We were laughing and joking about homework, plus a little bit of teasing George.

But for some reason, everyone stopped talking and all looked behind me.

"Why are you wearing Bad's hoodie?" Dream asked.

I turned around and looked at Skeppy standing in front of me. I turned so pink so quickly, I thought I'd faint. I even felt myself losing myself for a minute, but then he spoke.

"I had no other way to carry it." He protested.

"Carry it in your arms, backpack, around your waist-"

"Shut up." Sapnap smacked George's back and they both glared at each other. But I still couldn't focus, he was so cute in my hoodie... MY hoodie! He had little sweater paws and the hoodie went down to the bottom of his hips. It was baggy and the big hood behind him made him look even cuter.

"Dude, relax a little," Sapnap whispered into my ear. I snapped out of it for a second but then I looked back at Zak.

Muffin fudge, I can't do this.

I turned back to Sapnap and he nodded at me.

I walked up to Skeppy and grabbed his hand, his tiny fingertips and soft cloth in my hand warmed my heart, I honestly thought I was going to pass out.

I brought him to a table with my friends and sat down, then I let go of his hand. He whimpered a very small whimper, one I don't think even I was supposed to hear, and carefully grabbed his hand again.

I didn't know what I was gonna do with it but I was gonna do SOMETHING with it! He looked up at me and that only peer pressured me more.

Think of something to do. Think of something to do. THINK OF SOMETHING TO DO.

I looked down at his small hand and an idea popped in my head. I pulled up his sleeve a little and pulled his hand closer to me with both my hands, then I flipped his hand over so I could see his palm.

"What are you doing?" He said quietly but a little bit harsh, though I don't think it was intended.

"I'm going to read your palm," I said sweetly.

"Read my palm?" He seemed interested but confused.

"Look." I pointed out a line on his right hand.

"Wait wait, do you want me to read your future or past?"

"You can read my future and past?!" He looked at me with wide eyes, I chuckled a little towards his amazed expression.

"Yeah, choose which one you want me to do."
