Muffins with a side of tears and diamond vapor

(Platonic SkepHalo chapter TW like getting hurt ig Bad and Skeepy get burns)

Bad POV:

(btw this is about a week after sap left)

I woke up at around 9:00 am. I was tired last night, got home late from my work trip all the way in El Rapids. They have interesting parties there. Glad Quackity was my guide though, that helped a lot.

I get out of bed, realizing I was still in my work clothes. They felt sticky against my skin, it was way to hot over in El Rapids. I get changed in some weekend attire, and head downstairs. I was wearing my favorite leggings and a grey T-shirt, both were very soft.

"Oh! I should make muffins for Skeppy and Sapnap! Like we used to!" I exclaim aloud. Neither of them were home, I assumed SapNap was having a sleepover with his friends, and Skeppy was out 'trolling' whatever that was. They will have a nice surprise when they get home!

I put on an apron that reads "#1 Chef" it had mom scribbled out because it was all they could find for Father's Day. Sap was around 7 when that happened, such a good memory of mine. His toothy smile, the bright red bag, the bow. Still fits like a glove, weirdly enough. I could never find clothes that fit.

I started making the two batters, spicy muffins for SapNap, and Chocolate ones for Skeppy! I like a mix of both so I made that batter last. I hope they are back soon. The muffins are in the oven.

I pulled my hair back and start making some tea for myself, it was rainy today and I didn't like to go outside in the rain. Burned my skin. Same with Sap, I hope he's okay.

I hear the door open, and a sigh full the room. Lovely! It was Skeppy! And the muffins will be done in about 10 minutes! Perfect.

"Welcome back Skeppy! I'm in the kitchen!"

I hear him start running. I didn't know he missed me that much. I feel his hug, but he's crying. He never cries. I'm worried. His tears falling on my legs, which, luckily are protected.

"W-what's wrong? Are you okay? Do I need to call somebody? What happened? What did I miss?" The words spill out so fast they are ineligible. But my concern was just as understood.

Skeppy reaches for the stove to get up. He puts his hand on the burner on which I had my tea. It was still burning hot. His hand sizzles, and starts to turn to vapor, while he is completely unaware. I forgot how bad his nervous system was at detecting pain.

I gasp and reach for his hand, it burns to touch but I pull it off the burner, while he is very confused. He looks, and it regrows, or more accurately, redistributes.

The vapor still in the air, he looks at me. His voice is cracking, and wobbling, "SapNap. Sap is gone!" He is almost yelling at this point. I freeze in shock. What was the saying, You could hear a pin drop? You could hear my mug drop. It shattered on the ground, burning my feet with its boiling contents. As well as the liquid burning me even more.

I didn't have my phone in El Rapids, I left it behind. Skeppy says that SapNap left a week ago. He hasn't found him yet. He was with Dream and Callahan so we know he isn't dead. I am still so worried. I need to go after him. I can't bring Skeppy, he will get hurt. I need to lie to him.

"Skeppy. It's still early, let's eat muffins and just think up a plan."

"Okay Bad."

I enjoy my Spicy Chocolate Muffins, for they are a moment of happiness I lost in the few minutes Skeppy arrived. It tastes a bit salty. I did all my measurements right though. I look and realize I've been crying. I didn't feel the stinging before but now I do.

It feels like when you pour alcohol and salt in a wound. It's always hurt. I hate the rain. I hate tears. I hate that SapNap left.

I get a call from Quackity. Perfect. "Skeppy, I need to take this." I said, without emotion. It was cold and solid, unlike my normal self. I'm sorry Skeppy.

We are both in a state of shock, we don't respond but we don't need to.

"Hello? This is BadBoyHalo?"

"Oh thank god, Bad, I heard SapNap was gone and I needed to check on you. I- I know how that feels. Tommy left too, I miss him already."

"Quackity, you sound like you're saying we need to just move on? I'm going tomorrow to look for him."

"Bad. You know you can't come back right? What about Skeppy? What about Puffy? She's already lost Dream, Sam, Tommy, Tubbo, and everyone else. She doesn't need to lose you too."

"QUACKITY. I NEED TO FIND MY SON AND I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME IN THE PROCESS. I WILL FIND HIM"

I hang up.

To say I'm angry is an understatement of all forms. I'm fuming. My horns and teeth have sharpened. My tail writhing in emotion. I need to calm down. I breathe, and suddenly my sight becomes lighter. The darkness of my eyes calms.

I-I-I'll need to apologize to him. He's one of my friends. He's worried for me. I know that.

I walk back out to Skeppy. His eyes are wide, and he timidly asks me, "Who-Who were you talking to?" This is it. The time I can leave.

"It was work. I need to leave again in the morning." It was a simple lie but it will work. Hopefully.

"Didn't you tell them our SON went MISSING A WEEK AGO?"

"I did." A curt response. Cold response once more.

"BAD, YOU CANT GO. FOR ME, FOR SAPNAP."

"SKEPPY, WE NEED TO PAY FOR THE HOUSE. I NEED THE MONEY FOR US TO BE PREPARED TO LOOK FOR HIM. THERES A REASON WE DON'T MAKE MUFFINS EVERY SUNDAY. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY. YOU KNOW THIS SKEPPY."

I will need to apologize to him too. It's not his fault. I just need to find SapNap.

"Skeppy. I'm sorry. I'm angry too, I didn't mean to yell at you." It's less loud and more of a whisper only just loud enough for Skeppy to hear. He nods. That was all I needed. I give him a quick hug, he relaxes slightly, and I let go and go upstairs.

I need to call Puffy. I need her to explain to me. She needs to tell me everything.

~TimeSkip brought to you by BBH being 9'7" and Skeppy being 3'1"~ The Next Morning~

I sit up, gasping for breath. I'm sweating. It was a nightmare. I need to leave.

I glance over at Skeppy. Goodbye, my husband. I fiddle with my ring before I stand. The bed seems so small when it's just him by himself. I'll miss him.

I walk down to the kitchen take a spicy chocolate muffin. And I write a letter.

Dear Skeppy; my husband,

Do not think of this as me leaving you. I am protecting you. There was no call from work, that was Quackity telling me to move on and stay safe. I am finding our son. I know I cannot come back, but maybe one day, you can find me! And we can all make muffins like we used to.

Sincerely yours,
BadBoyHalo.

P.S. Wilbur has told me that the cords are [insert DSMP cords ig] and I must head north from there.

I put down the pencil. I put a muffin on top. I will see you soon. I grab my bag, and I walk out the door. The rain no longer bothering me.

Well, that's a lie.

It still felt like I was being acidically drowned. The half-imaginary liquid burning me alive. But, I ignored it. For my son.
