Sick (Egobang mpreg oneshot)

Sick

“Dan? Buddy where are you? Are you hiding or something?” Arin asked as he wandered through his friend’s house. The two hadn’t seen each other in nearly a month since Dan told everyone he was sick and needed some time to himself. Whatever, right? Arin would see him again and then things would be back to normal. A few weeks pass and eventually he hears from him again, just a somewhat cryptic text message saying that he had something to tell Arin.

“Hey, dude, come on.. You’re being creepy. Stop hiding and tell me what’s going on?” Arin called out again. He stood in the middle of the hallway, waiting for some kind of response until finally a door squeaked open and sure enough, his buddy was there in the flesh… Looking kinda terrible.

“Hey.” Dan said quietly.

“Hey buddy. You still sick?”

“Uh… Yeah… Yeah I guess you could say that. It’s nice to see you again.”

“Yeah.” Arin smiled a bit. “It’s kinda weird not having you around. At first I thought you didn’t want to be around me anymore after you and I, uh… Well..” He stopped himself. They agreed they weren’t going to talk about that night they spent together. It was one night that would stay between them only.

“Arin, it’s fine. You don’t have to act like it didn’t happen.” Dan sighed. “Actually, that’s kinda why I asked you to come over.. I gotta tell you something.”

“What’s that?”

There was a tense silence between them as Arin looked at Dan, watching his body language shift. When Dan finally spoke again, Arin had no way of preparing for what he had to say.

“I…I’m pregnant.”

Arin felt himself get a little dizzy. It could have very easily been a joke, but the dead seriousness in Dan’s voice plus the amount of effort and time put into them meeting up for him to announce this to him, it was all… Too real.

“Pregnant. Like, as in… With a baby?”

“Yeah, I guess.”

“And it’s… Probably mine, right?”

“I’m pretty much positive that it’s yours, Arin.”

“Hm.” Arin took a deep breath, staying silent as his brain desperately scrambled around trying to find something to say. He had to act fast though because Dan was starting to get upset.

“Oh god… You’re mad, aren’t you? Fuck, Arin I’m so sorry. I had no idea this would happen. I… Please, please don’t be mad at me, I can’t take it.”

“Hey, hey relax.” Arin whispered, putting his arms around his friend. “Look, I… Don’t know the first thing about parenting. I can’t even BEGIN to imagine what we’re going to tell everyone else. But one thing I know for sure is that I’m not going anywhere.”

Dan sniffed and looked at him. “You’re not?”

“No, of course not. That would totally be a dick move.” Arin smiled a bit. “Besides. I don’t… hate the idea of us being together, let alone having a kid.”

Dan smiled softly and nodded, nuzzling into Arin’s touch as he held him. “Thanks. I’m glad you aren’t mad at me.”

“Of course I’m not. I just have one condition.”

“Yeah?”

“We’re gonna name it Kirby.”

“Arin…”

“You’re right, you’re right.” Arin held his hands up. “I’ll think of something else."

((Hey hey look who's back from the dead! As you can see, my interests have changed quite a bit. Anyways, there's hardly any egobang mpreg out there so I decided to make a little myself! Be sure to tell me how you like it and let me know if you want more!))
