SKEPPY × READER fanfic

Chapter 12 - Friends?

You're currently pulling into the parking area of Skeppy's apartment. It's about 30 minutes away from yours, which is basically nothing because you would be willing to drive hundreds of miles to hang out with him.

You glance over at the passenger seat of your car. In it lays your laptop to play Minecraft on and some McDonald's cheesy fries because you know Skeppy likes them.

Was a gift too much? It's not really a gift though just a nice thing to do...or is that what gifts are? Whatever, too late, I already bought them.

You park in the parking garage in between two cars because there are no other spaces. You somehow squeeze yourself out of the car, cheesy fries in hand, and you head to the elevator that will bring you to his floor.

I can't believe he's on the 14th floor. That's literally the biggest coincidence ever. I wonder if he did it on purpose...

You push the button for floor 14 and hum a song that's been stuck in your head lately as the elevator rises. You check the time on your phone, and then notice Skeppy has texted you.

you coming?? - Skeppy 8:01

Aww he's worried about me showing up. How cute!

You decide not to respond so he is surprised when you appear at his door.

The elevator doors open smoothly and you step off, greeted with a view of the city from some giant windows.

"Woah..." You say quietly to yourself.

"I know right!!"

You jump and the cheesy fries slip from your hands. Luckily, another pair of hands catches them before they spill all over the floor.

"Sorry Y/n I didn't know you scared that easily," Skeppy giggles.

"Ughhh Skeppy you're so..."

"Amazing? I know. Thanks for the cheesy fries by the way."

"You're welcome. How did you know I was here?"

"I get a notification every time someone clicks the button for the 14th floor since I have the only apartment on it. Duhhh!"

"Y-you have the entire floor to yourself?"

"Yeah, it's great! Come on, I'll show you around." He leads you into his apartment, which has double doors.

This is a pretty grand entrance for a Minecraft YouTuber wow!

His apartment is gigantic! It has an open floor plan and it's very modern, everything you wish your own apartment could be.

"So this is the bathroom. I mean one of the bathrooms. I have one that's connected to my room. And this is the kitchen that I never use because I can't cook and this is my living room with a very comfy couch that I bought at Ikea. Ikea has good couches," he explains, eyes sparkling.

"I bet they do. Where's your room?"

"Around this corner, past my setup. Follow me, madam."

"Really? Madam?"

"Well what else should I call you?"

"Anything but that. Literally anything."

Skeppy laughs and continues on with the tour. He leads you through an open door and he opens his arms to show off the room's size.

"This is my room! WOOOH!" He jumps onto his enormous king sized bed. "Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy! Come up here Y/n! It's so fun!"

You roll your eyes. "You are such a child."

But you climb into the bed anyways. You bounce slightly and Skeppy looks at you, dissatisfied.

"That's barely even bouncing. Watch me." He jumps as high as he can, the bed creaking under the pressure. "See?"

"You gotta teach me better than that. I have no idea how to bounce!" You lie, a plan forming in your mind. "I think I need some more...hands on instruction."

Skeppy looks at you and smirks, understanding what you're doing. "Okay, sure Y/n." He takes your hands in his hands and gazes into your eyes. "On the count of three, jump! One, two....four!"

You try to jump but he grabs your waist, keeping your feet from coming off the bed. Your heart rate speeds up tenfold.

"I said on three silly. One, two, three!"

You jump at the same time, both smiling widely. You continue jumping together a few more times until you both run out of energy.

"I'm....so.....tired.....Skeppy," you manage to say between breaths.

"Me......tooooo." He flops down on the bed to catch is breath. You do the same, placing your hand near his while hoping he doesn't notice.

But he does.

He puts his own hand over yours and smiles tiredly. You blush, but don't move your hand.

"Is this part of that game, or...." You ask quietly.

He giggles. "I don't know, what do you think?"

"I don't even know anymore."

He makes eye contact with you and sighs, quickly looking down at your lips and then back up at your eyes. He removes his hand from yours.

"Y/n. It was never a game. You're everything I could ever want in a girlfriend." He turns away and takes a bite of a cheesy fry from the bedside table, fearing rejection.

You tap his shoulder. "Skeppy."

"Call me Zak."

"Zak. Look at me and for goodness sakes put down the cheesy fry."

He turns back to you.

"Don't worry. I like you too."
