Muffins // A Skephalo Story

Chapter 11

Skeppy/Zak POV

I wake up, a pile of jitters.

Not only is today the day I'll be ice skating with Darryl, but I've also decided to confess my feelings today.

Being around Darryl (and actually talking to him) for real these past few days has really made me more confident. Not just with relationships, but also with myself as well.

Something about the way he encourages me and compliments me just makes me feel so good about myself.

Still, I feel like puking right now at the thought of my confession.

Last night I had a dream that Darryl stopped talking to me after I confessed. He yelled slurs at me and ran off saying I was broken and disgusting. That there was something wrong with me.

I remember waking up in a cold sweat, unable to fall back asleep after that.

I keep telling myself that even if Darryl doesn't like me back he won't hate me. After all, he accepts all our friends' relationships. So why wouldn't he accept me?

It's only 9:00 right now, and it feels like it's taking years for a minute to pass by.

I both can't wait to see Darryl, but I also don't want to do it.

I should probably eat breakfast, but the butterflies in my stomach tell me otherwise.

After just lying on my bed for a few more minutes, I get a message and check my phone, hoping it's Darryl. Sure enough, it is.

Badboy <3
Can't wait to go ice skating today :D

I can't help but smile at his excitement.

You
Yayyy!
Ooooo wjhat igf we triedd to matchuy!

Badboy <3
Okay! We can do some black jeans for the bottoms if you have them?

You
Ok
WAIT I saew u wearing a whgitre hoodie wkjith blue and resd sleeves one time I have thew same one!

Badboy <3
Really? That's so cool! Ok, we can wear that!
I have to take Rat for a walk, so I'll see you later you muffin @_@

I head to my closet to find my hoodie to match Darryl. It's funny how we have the same hoodie, especially because I got mine from a small online business.

Under my hoodie, I just wear a simple light blue long sleeve t-shirt. I also find a pair of black jeans.

Once I'm dressed, I wash my face and decide to finally eat breakfast. After my conversation with Darryl, I got a lot less nervous and I don't feel like puking anymore.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Around 12:45, I decide to get ready to leave.

It's not supposed to snow today, and the weather has warmed up a bit, so I don't think I'll need my coat. After all, my hoodie is pretty thick as well.

Seeing as my apartment is pretty close to the town square, where we'll be ice skating, I decide to just walk.

After a few minutes, I can see the ice rink and head over to the booth nearby to rent some skates.

Once I get my skates, I text Darryl to see when he'll get here.

You
Bad
Badboy
Herllpo

Badboy <3
Oh my goodness, what?

You
I mniss uu
Pleadser hurrtyu
Whgjerte r u?

Badboy <3
Calm down! I'm almost here. Can you wait 5 more minutes?

You
No

Badboy <3
Wait, I think I see you. One second. O_o

I look up from my phone and begin scanning the area, looking for Darryl.

I can't see him, and am about to text him to say so when I feel a pair of hands on my shoulders.

I jump up with a shriek, and hear a lighthearted giggle from behind me.

"Found you, you muffin."

Darryl is standing behind me, smiling. He's wearing a matching outfit with me like we agreed, and my heart melts at the sight.

"Finally!" I groan, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him into a tight hug. "I thought you forgot about me!"

He hugs back, "It's not even 1:00 yet, Geppy."

We pull apart, smiling at eachother. "I still need skates, wanna come with me to get them?" Darryl asks.

I nod, linking arms with him as we head over to the booth.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

After we both have our skates on, we begin to head over to the ice rink.

I like to think I'm pretty decent at ice skating, I can't do fancy tricks or anything, but I can stay on my feet.

Darryl on the other hand, is not the best at ice skating. He tried to go before me, but immediately fell.

I tried to help him up, giggling, but I end up falling with him.

"You weren't lying when you said you can't skate!" I manage to get out, still laughing.

He tries to glare at me, but just keeps smiling. "I told you!"

"It's fine." I say encouragingly, "How about you hold my hand while we skate?"

His cheeks are dusted with pink, and he doesn't say anything, just nods a yes please.

I stand up, extending my arm once again. He grabs my hand, and I pull him up.

At first, Darryl has a lot of trouble moving around, but he soon gets the hang of it, and we're skating across the rink, hand in hand. Sharing this perfect moment with eachother with grins on our faces.

This is what true happiness is.
