The Good, The Bad, And The Ones In Love ~ corpsekkuno

Sykkuno loves Toast so much.

As much as he hates his guts, he loves Toast dearly.

Sykkuno wakes up with Bimb's weight heavy on him. He scrunches his nose as he feels a wet tongue lick up his neck.

"Get off, you big oaf." He mumbles, his voice husky from sleep.

Bimbus jumps off the bed and sits nearby with his tail wagging. He hears Toast moving around the kitchen. And he can practically hear him eating potato chips from the kitchen, the crunching way too loud for Sykkuno's liking.

After hearing the popping sound of his spine, the disappointment of not having any feeling in his legs settles. This is the routine every morning. Sykkuno sits in his bed for a while, mourning his condition, then thinking about making the best out of it - which leads him to roll his eyes for pretending to be such a pompous optimistic tosser.

He transfers into his wheelchair, which Bimbus politely pushed towards him, and sets off for the day. While freshening up he thinks about last night. And how he texted Corpse until his eyes were heavy with sleep. He doesn't remember sending him a good night text though, that could only mean that he fell asleep in the middle of the conversation.

On his way to the kitchen, he passes his small studio. The canvas sitting on the stand looks as beautiful as he pictured it would look like when he painted it. He knows Toast has seen it already, considering he put him to bed and cleared up all the paint and used brushes. He loves Toast.

"Ahoy!" Toast shouts as Sykkuno strolls into the kitchen.

"What's for breakfast, Ramsay?"

Toast visibly beams at his compliment. He sets two plates of what seem to be waffles on the table in front of Sykkuno. The waffles look not so waffle-y, but he smiles wide in encouragement for Toast.

"What's got you in a good mood?" He asks.

"Eh, let's just say I have enough money to buy a third computer now." Toast gives him a cheeky smile and a wink.

Sykkuno's eyes widen though, as much as he wants to be supportive of Toast, he doesn't want to constantly hear the shouting on stream by Toast. It had taken him a long time to get used to the fact that Toast is a streamer. And with every upgrade, his shouts get louder somehow. He pities his ears already.

"That's- that's great, Toast." He nods with an unsure smile.

"I know I disturb you, or whatever, so don't worry, I'm sound proofing my room."

He really loves Toast.

"Malcolm, I'm not setting any price lower than 2 grand. You know I've been struggling with money, and that piece is worth it."

Sykkuno had sent Malcolm, his friend/agent a picture of the painting he did last night. The more he stared at it though, the more memories came back to him, and the more memories came back to him, the more he didn't want to give it away.

There was something serene about that day. He doesn't know if it was because they were lying in the grass in the middle of spring with flower crowns on their heads, or if it was because they said 'I love you' for the first time to each other that day. Either way, it was one of the best days of Sykkuno's life.

Sykkuno had known Corpse had been in love with him for a couple of months but was scared to admit it incase Sykkuno didn't replicate his feelings. It had taken a while for Sykkuno to admit to even himself that he had indeed fallen in love with the silly boy. But all it took was his then 11 year-old sister talking about how she loved Corpse and liked to have him around all the time. Sykkuno had realised in that moment that he did too, and that he'd never want to be away from that boy.
