[3rd person pov]

//17 years ago//

Skeppy was playing at one of the small local parks, when he caught his foot on a oak tree root and tripped.

He got up, wincing at the pain from a scraped knee, as he started crying. Suddenly another boy, who was about 2 years older than him, came running up.

"Are you ok?! Hold on, my mom put some bandages in here somewhere." The boy quickly sat down and dug through his bag, and skeppy sat up, wrapping his arms around his legs, still tearing up.

The older boy pulled out a bandaid covered in dinosaurs and struggled to open it. He eventually managed, and placed it on skeppy's knee.

"There, all better!" The boy proudly announced.

"Thank you.. uhm.. who are you?" Skeppy sniffled, calming down.

"Oh! My name's Badboyhalo, but you can call me bad! What's your name?" The other smiled brightly as he spoke.

".. it's skeppy."

From then on, Bad and skeppy were good friends. They went to different schools, but had frequent playdates. They liked playing at the place they first met, under the big oak tree in the park. Lego building, picnics, pretend, you name it, they played it.

//12 years ago//

5 years later, now 10 and 12, the 2 boys were still inseparable. All the adults called them a 'package deal'. They were both gifted a ds for Christmas, and played on them together frequently.

Mario party, Mario kart, smash bros, etc. Aside from the video games, they both developed a love of reading. Every week, they rode their bikes down to the park and sat together under the old oak tree and read a book together. Every few weeks they'd finish one and move on to the next. They must've gone through hundreds together.

//8 years ago//

The boys were both teenagers now. They were both given phones, and talked to each other nonstop. Their love of games and books never left either. They played tons of online games together, mostly Minecraft.

They still had their reading tradition. But now, bad could drive. Once a month they'd drive down to the library and rent a few books. Every week they'd meet at their tree and read them.

At this point in time, skeppy would be lying if he said he didn't start developing a crush on his friend. He didn't want to admit it. He'd been best friends with him for 9 years, and didn't want to throw it all away.

//3 years ago//

Bad called skeppy one evening, and asked him to meet him at the tree. He seemed a little nervous on the phone, Skeppy didn't know why.

Skeppy himself was a little nervous walking there. His crush on bad never really went away, but he never said anything. He'd rather push down his feelings for the rest of his life than lose bad completely.
