"Best Friend" [1/2]

⚠️ heartbreak

Darryl's POV

2 years. 2 years I've known my little muffin and my heart grows for him each day.

I'm gay and today is the day I finally decide to come out to Skeppy. He deserves to know.

I already talked to my parents and they accepted me. Told me that they would always love me and be there for me.

I get on my TS and start to spam Skeppy on Twitter.

I sigh and put my phone down. I gulp and feel my leg start to bounce as I go onto Minecraft and start to fly around my server while in vanish.

What if he rejects me? What if he doesn't like me anymore? Is he homophobic? What if he pushes me away?

I start to suddenly get second thoughts. I can do this another day, right?

Buddy has joined your channel.

"Bad!" Skeppy screams, causing me to shriek a bit. He giggles at my response. "What's up? You asked me to join and here I am!"

I open my mouth, but nothing comes out. I'm freezing up.

He's going to reject you. He's going to look at you in disgust now. He doesn't want to be your friend anymore...

"Bad?" Skeppy snaps me out of my thoughts.

I gulp, "U-Uhhh. Hi... I wanted to talk to you about something."

I hear him shift around in his seat, "Sure. Is everything alright?"

"I guess... are you recording? Streaming? Or something?" I ask, making sure this stays between us.

"Nope. I should though..." Skeppy hums and I hear typing on his side.

My eyes widen, "Skeppy! Please don't! What I want to say is really personal! Please!" I bite my bottom lip.

"Alright, alright. OBS is closed and nothing is recording. Now, what's up?" He asks, sighing and focusing his attention on me.

"I-..." I cut myself off. Should I?

"I'mgay..." I whisper, really quietly and away from my mic.

"What? Bad, I couldn't quiet catch that." Skeppy says, confusion in his voice.

I shouldn't. But he's Skeppy. I'm sure he'll accept me.

"I'm..." I mutter, a bit louder than before.

"You are?..." Skeppy trails off, motioning me to continue.

I lean back and take a deep breath. Then I shut my eyes, "I'm gay."

...

"Wait... really?" Skeppy asks, but I felt his tone a bit off.

I nod, but then remember he can't see me. "Uhh... yeah..." I quiet down.

"That's cool. I'm glad you told me." Skeppy hums. He sounds different though. A feeling of regret fills my stomach.

I open my eyes a bit. "You aren't disgusted... or...?"

Skeppy doesn't speak for a few seconds, which worries me. But then he says, "N-No... just shocked honestly." No. He sounds off. He doesn't accept me...

I fake a smile, "Oh... uh.. I'm glad you don't see me differently..."

"Of course I don't!" He giggles. But it doesn't sound like a normal giggle that I usually love to hear. It sounds forced, like he's hiding something...

"Well... then... can I say something else?" I mutter.

No... stop... don't.... something seems wrong...

"Uhhh... sure..." He trails off.

I sigh, "I also... really like you..."

Silence. He doesn't speak.

My heart starts to crumble.

"S-Skeppy...?" I whisper.

I hear him hum quietly. My eyes start to tear up, "I'm so sorry... I shouldn't have said that... This was such a mistake..."

"Bad... look... I'm really sorry but I'm straight. I don't like you in that way... I'm so sorry..." Skeppy whispers, causing my heart to crumble even more into a pile of dust.

"I ruined it... didn't I..." I whisper, lower my head in shame. "... c-can we forget this ever h-happened..?" I quietly ask, pleading he says yes.

I swear I can picture him shaking his head, "I don't think I can ever forget this Bad. I'm pretty sure things are likely to change after this... I'm sure your feelings for me will disappear."

Disappear... oh how I want to disappear right now...

He doesn't care. He hates you now.

"Yeah..." I whisper, not sure on what to say.

"I'm going to go Bad. Uh... that video we planned on doing later today, we can postpone it. Bye." User has disconnected from your channel.

I lose it. I break down.

——

It's been many weeks. Everything got worse. A6D started to question on what happened between Skeppy and I but we never gave him an answer.

Skeppy talks to me less now. Our messages have become dry. He began to do the events alone without me, using Mega to the commands. Our videos became more solo commentaries and I didn't stream much on Saturdays anymore.

I became depressed.

I still believed Skeppy is my best friend though. We would talk, but my crush on him never shrunk. I never brought it up.

Today felt different though. Skeppy messaged me, asking if he wanted to record with me since our fans became suspicious on why we stopped communicating.

I guess he didn't want to disappoint them...

I shouldn't have agreed.

Now here I am, laughing a bit with Skeppy as we play BedWars. He puts on a fake act but I believe he still appreciates me.

We win a few rounds. Suddenly out conversations switch to a topic I didn't expect.

"But, what if you were allowed only one friend on Hypixel. Who would you have?" I ask Skeppy, hoping his answer was me.

He hums. "A6D."

What...

Oh...

"W-What? Why not me?" My voice cracks. I should have expected that.

"Sorry Bad... I'm going to cut this out, but we sort of split. I mean... we became distant..." Skeppy says, no sadness in his voice or regret.

I feel a tear slip down my cheek as I stop my character from moving in game. I have it staring at the unprotected bed in front of me with wood in my hand as I just bought it.

"Oh..."

"I don't see you as my best friend anymore Bad. A6D is my best friend now." He didn't even hesitate with that response.

I stare down at my keyboard. I mute my mic as I start to break down.

You ruined it... not only you got rejected, but you lost your best friend...

You are fucking pathetic.

"Bad! Blue is going for our bed! Stop standing there, we are going to die! You didn't even protect the bed!" I hear Skeppy yell at me.

I look up from my blurry eyesight and notice a blue figure breaking the bed in front of me. I don't do anything but stare. Soon enough, I'm dead.

"Bad! Oh c'mon! You had one job!" Skeppy whines as he dies as well.

I unmute my mic. "Goodbye Skeppy." I leave the channel and log out of Minecraft.
