My Muffin: A Skephalo Fanfic (SMUT)

Chapter Six: The Problem

Zak wakes up and Darryl isn't in their bed. He quickly jumps out of bed and sees him on the computer. He looked furious. Zak could practically see the fumes coming off his body.
"Why is everyone saying I'm dead?" Darryl asked in a tone of voice that Zak had never heard before.
"Uh..I..d-don't know." Zak stutters our due to him being genuinely scared.
"You do fucking know. Just yesterday you said yourself that you thought I was dead." Darryl says. Zak is basically shaking at this point. He doesn't know if Darryl is gonna hit him and he heavily doubts that that'll happen but he's still scared. He was frozen in place, he didn't know what to say.
"I really don't k-know. Maybe someone started a rumor d-during my stream?" Zak says. Darryl grabs the mouse and goes to Zak's twitch streaming channel, "skeppylive". He goes to Zak's latest stream and watches, looking for anything. He sees the donation pop up and immediately understands after seeing, in the stream, Zak getting up and walking away with the crying noises in the background.
"They could hear me crying?!?" Zak blurts out.
Darryl immediately gets up and hugs Zak.
"I'm sorry that I yelled at you like that. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten so mad-" Darryl says while trying to avoid crying. He felt awful for swearing at Zak like that.
"It's okay, babe. I understand why you were mad." Zak says.
"We need to tell everyone that I'm not dead, so we can clear this whole situation up." Darryl finally says.
"Do you want me to tweet out something or should we make a video?" Zak replies.
"I'll just tweet out something." Darryl says. He gets out his phone and goes to Twitter. He tweets "omg I'm not ded you muffins". The comments were filled with relieved and some people who say that they knew it was a stupid rumor. But, some others questioned why Zak was crying in the stream.
"Then what was Skeppy crying about"
"Well what happened between you and Skeppy?"
"Did you see? Skeppy was crying in the stream. What happened?"
We're just a few of those people questioning what had happened.
"Should I tell them?" Zak asks.
"Tell them what?" Darryl replies.
"Why I was crying? I mean it might make me have to explain that we got into a relationship and that we're gay but I think it's time." Zak says.
"Do what you think is for the best." Darryl says.
Zak stood there, thinking for a moment.
"This is for the best." Zak says. He walks to his old room, the spare room that Darryl gave him, where his computer and other belongings still are. He sits at his desk and hits record on his webcam.
"Hey guys." Zak begins.
"This will be more of a serious video explaining what's been going on these past few days. First of all, Bbh isn't dead, someone started that rumor, but he isn't dead. In fact I'm currently living with him at the moment. The reason I started crying in the stream is too personal for me to say but I can say this...I'm gay. I have known for a very long time but I didn't wanna accept it. Now, I am a stronger person and moving forward I wanna be more open and honest with you guys. That being said, there is something else that I need to say. Bad and I are in a relationship. We're boyfriends." Zak pauses for a second without turning off the webam.
"So yeah, I think that's all I wanna talk about. Bye, I love you guys and I will see you tomorrow." He finally finishes. He gets the footage and decides not to edit it. He immediately uploads it, although it does take a second to upload. While it's uploading he is holding back the urge to delete it. It finishes uploading.
"Well there's no going back now.." He says to himself. Almost instantly, he looks at the comments. Only around 25 people saw the video so far, for it had only been up for 10 seconds. Nobody had commented yet. He decided to wait and come back to it later and he did. Several hours later he comes back to the video and checks it. The like to dislike ratio is insane. It's almost equal. 39k likes and 28k dislikes. Do people hate how I am?  He thought. He sat there in his chair scrolling through the comments. There were so many positive ones.
"Omg I'm so happy for you two."
"I love you guys so much❤️"
"I knew it but you're the best"
"Omg I honestly am pleasantly surprised"
Were just some of the replies. Others weren't so positive.
"Gayyyyyyyyyyy"
"Okay, what did you want from McDonald's, homo?"
"Unsubscribing"
"Okay bye 👋"
The comments had at least 10 likes each. There were majority positive comments but the negative ones stuck out the most to him. Almost like the positive ones didn't exist. He just sat in his chair, wanting to cry but, for some reason, unable to. He was shaking. He was angry, sad and embarrassed. Should I have even uploaded it? He thought. He then looked at his phone to see that all his friends were texting them and congratulating him and Darryl on their relationship. They were thanking them for being their true selves. This put a smile on Zak's face and made him forget about the rude and homophobic people. This made him remember that he will always have people who support him. Haters can hate, I don't care, I'm happy with who I surround myself with. He thought. Maybe it won't be so bad after all. At least for now.
