SKEPPY × READER fanfic

Chapter 13 - More Than Friends

"Don't worry. I like you too." You look at the floor, embarrassed and unsure of what else to say.

Zak raises his eyebrows. "Really? Wha-why me? I'm so annoying!"

"That's one of my favorite things about you," you laugh. "Well actually, everything about you is my favorite."

"Impossible. You have to have a favorite thing. Some parts of me are awful."

"Oh yeah, like what. Name one and I bet I'll love it."

He scoots closer to you on the bed slightly. "Well, one of the main things is that I'm scared to make the first move." With that, he leans over and gives you a peck on the forehead.

You giggle. "Well, seems like that isn't true anymore!"

He nods in agreement. "That's because you make me feel like nothing else in the world matters, and it's just me and you against all the bad things out there."

You smile. "Mushy much?"

"Hey, we were having a moment!! That's just rudeee. Whatever wanna play Minecraft?"

"With you? Ewwww no way." You reply, smirking.

Zak pretends to look hurt. "Ouch okay. What do you wanna do then?"

You punch his shoulder. "I'm just kidding silly. Yeah let's play." You whip out your laptop and quickly log onto the game, immediately heading to InvadedLands, Skeppy's server. Skeppy goes over to his PC and does the same.

He glanced at your screen and notices you don't have a rank on his server.

"Y/n, why in the world don't you have a rank?"

"Umm...well I used to have one. But then I started more classes in college and my job wasn't paying enough so I figured being a sub on twitch was more important than having a rank. I'm so sorry I really want to support you! It's just I can't really afford both right now..."

He types something on his keyboard and you see a message appear on your screen.

Y/n has received rank: God

You grin immediately and the chat on his server is filled with GG's and congratulations from other players.

"Thank you so much Skeppy you don't know how much this means to me!!"

You jump up from your seated position on the bed and walk over to give him a hug.

He spins his chair around so his back is to you. "No hugs," he says. Your face falls.

"Oh...okay that's okay." You turn back towards the bed and feel warm hands slip around your waist. It's Skeppy, hugging you from behind like he does in all the fanfiction you've read online.

"You're so warmmm," he says softly in your ear.

"No you!!" You respond playfully and turn around so you're hugging him properly. He laughs and starts to let go of you.

No way. He's never escaping this hug.

You hold him tighter and he gasps. "Are you....gonna...let me.....go?"

"Neverrr!"

"Okay....then I guess....I have to....do this!" He starts to tickle you and you break your grip on him right away.

"Nooo, you found my ultimate weakness!"

"Ultimate, huh?" He steps closer to you, arms outstretched. "Tickle tickle!"

You dart out of the room and he chases close behind you. You first run through his master bathroom, then the living room, then the kitchen. Being in unfamiliar surroundings, you accidentally corner yourself in a guest bedroom down a hall off the kitchen.

"Crap."

Skeppy giggles. "Where can you go now, Y/n?" He comes closer and closer to you with each word.

"Ummm...." You slowly back into a corner and shut your eyes, covering your face with your hands and preparing for the worst.

"Aww. You're so cute!" Skeppy says as he pulls your hands down away from your face. "It's okay, I won't tickle you anymore. I promise." You open your eyes and start to breathe normally again.

"But I will do this." He cups your cheek with his hand and you blush madly. He leans in and shuts his eyes. Filled with butterflies, you meet him halfway.

Your lips meet and sparks fly. You're filled with energy and happiness and all the wonderful things in the world. In that moment all your negative thoughts dissapear. The only thing that matters is Skeppy. And his lips, of course.

You pull apart and he smiles softly at you. "You're soo pretty, you know."

"I don't think I am, but thanks anyways."

"Are you kidding me. Y/n I have never seen someone so perfect as you. I wanna do everything with you! Like I would even go to Antarctica with you. And it's freaking cold there."

You laugh. "Whatever you say Zak."

He looks around his apartment, wondering what to do next. It's almost 9:00 already.

You sigh sadly. "If I'm gonna make it home at a reasonable time I should probably go soon. My house is 30 minutes away."

"B-but you just got here!" He protests.

"I know, but I can always come visit. Or you can come visit me!"

"I don't want you to go though!!"

"Well what am I supposed to do then?"

"You could always....nah, nevermind." He stops himself mid sentence. "That's a stupid idea."

"No, no, nothing you say is stupid. Well thats not true. But what is it?"

"I was gonna say you could just sleepover. But that's silly. We just met today!"

You think for a moment. "Well it's not like we'd be sleeping in the same bed. And besides, I've been watching your videos so long it feels like I've known you for a year."

"Okay, I guess you can stay then. Yayy sleepover!"

He chucks a pillow at you from the nearby sofa and you dodge it smoothly.

"Nice try, sucker." You pick one up for yourself and toss it at him. It hits him, but very softly."

"Is that all you got?" He questions teasingly.

"Oh, Zak. Silly, naive Zak. You should not have said that."
