Stage 2: ERROR.
Skeppy's pov:
I looked into the mirror that was hanging on the door. I thought I was just wearing a bit too much black, so I went into the closet to find new clothes. I found a dark red button up shirt, so I grabbed that. I took off my shirt and changed into the new one I had just grabbed. I walked over to the mirror to see if I liked this better and I did. "I don't know what it is about this, but something is just... I don't know, missing?" I mumbled to myself. I didn't have much time, so I yelled for A6d. He walked in asking what was up, "I feel like something is missing with this outfit... I don't know what?" I asked him and he just hummed in response.
"Well, uh I'm not really an expert I guess but uh well do you have eyeliner by chance?" He asked scratching the back of his neck. "Uh well actually- I do have some, I was going to do a stream with me uh you know? But I don't really think I'll have the chance now-" I spoke softly. A6d just gave a soft smile and asked for it, I walked over to my desk and opened one of the drawers pulling out the eyeliner. "Alright here, that's the only one I have" I said handing A6d the eyeliner. He grabbed my hand and pulled me over to a chair "sit." I sat down and just let him apply the eyeliner.

I was finally done getting ready I was actually pretty happy with how I looked, I walked out the door and asked if Bad was ready. He looked great, he wore a white dress up shirt and black pants to go with it. I stared in awe for a while. He just looked amazing, I smiled as I said, "You ready?" He nodded and we both walked out the door. We talked the whole way to where Techno had showed me where we were going to be the other night.
It was a beautiful spot, it would be a perfect way to just tell Bad how I feel. Plus, Techno even set a guitar there so I could sing the song I wrote for Bad. I was so very thankful for Techno, I don't think I would have been able to even do it if he wasn't here. As I was thinking of what else we could do, I felt someone grab my hand and squeeze a bit. I looked down to see who's hand it was and it was Bad's. I couldn't help but smile to myself, it seems that he would always just grab my hand when it's just me and him out walking.
In my opinion I thought it was adorable that he did that. But then again, I find him adorable no matter what. I looked up at him and then back to see where I was walking. The place wasn't too far from where we were now, a few more minutes and we would be there. I was excited but nervous at the same time.
Excited because I get to spend time with Darryl, but I just felt this weird feeling in my stomach. The feeling was all too familiar, but I just couldn't lay my finger on what exactly it was, maybe I really was just nervous. I then hear my phone go off and it read "Incoming call: Technoblade" I looked down at my screen then looked at Darryl. "Hang on Darryl, I have to take this really quick, I'll be back!" I said while picking up the phone. "Hello? What's up dude?" There was a small pause and then said "Hey, I just wanted to tell you that everything is perfectly set up for the date, I have the guitar laying against a tree and right under the guitar where it stands is the paper that the lyrics, we wrote last night!" I thanked him and he hung up.
We continued walking to the place and as we got closer, I told Bad to put a blindfold on that I had handed him just a little bit ago. I guided him until he could take the blindfold off. I didn't really know what the place looked like itself, so it was a surprise for me as well. I mean I knew where it was, I just didn't know what all he had added here while I went to get ready. We got there and it was beautiful.
The sun was just about to start setting, a pink and white blanket with all different types of food. There were muffins, fruit, sandwiches, and even cookies. He did amazing! As I looked around more, I saw the guitar leaning by the tree, and when I looked over a bit more the tree had a little swing on it though I know that had been there for some time. I did however see Techno had just left since he had already started walking away.
"Bad stay here, I have to get something" Darryl nodded. I quickly ran over to Techno, as I got close enough, I said his name. "Techno!" He turned around, as he did so I gave him a tight hug. He was hesitant at first but then placed one hand on my back. "What's this for?" He asked while rubbing by back like he did the other night.
"You're literally amazing dude, thank you so much for everything!" I said almost sobbing. "How can I ever repay you dude? You've done so much! Like, not even for this. You've been there for me ever since we met" I cried out. I felt a few tears fall down my cheeks. 'Oh shit... I have eyeliner on' I thought to myself as Techno got his hoodie sleeve and wiped the tears away. "Zak, it's no problem! I would do anything for you to be happy!" He said with a bright smile on his face.
Techno patted me on the head and said, "now go run along you've got a date with your boyfriend- I mean best bf." I looked up at him and just rolled my eyes. "Techno he's not my boyfriend, you and I both know that shit isn't true!" I said being a bit over dramatic then start to laugh a bit at the end. I then hug him one more time thanking him for everything again and then we both say our goodbyes as I walk towards Darryl again. "Hey I'm back! You can take off your blindfold now!" I say excited for him to see everything. As he takes it off, I look over to see that Techno was now out of sight.
"Woah! This place is...incredible! H-how did you...?" Darryl said looking over at me. "That doesn't matter, what matters is that it's just me and you, alright? We're going to have a great night!" I said while smiling at him. I grabbed him by the wrist pulling him over to the blanket and telling him to sit down and eat. We began eating and just talking about random things. At one point I was rambling on about a video I wanted to make I made it up since I really wouldn't be able to make it.
Darryl looked at me the whole time, I could feel my face getting redder every time I looked at him. "Hey Bad... I have something to show you" I said looking away from him for a second. "Ooo! What is it?" He said now sitting on his knees. I got up and walked over to the guitar and grabbing the paper. Bad tilted his head a bit trying to figure out what I was doing.
I looked at the guitar then up at Darryl then at the paper. I was a bit nervous because I haven't even practiced playing the song on the guitar. When I wrote the song with Techno, he basically helped me write it by asking me what all I wanted to say and then show me how to play the song. I mean he showed me a few times, but I still didn't know if it was good enough. I want this to be perfect for Darryl...
What if my singing wasn't even that great? What if he doesn't like the song? What if like he catches on and thinks I'm weird for liking him...? There's so many bad things that could happen. What if the rose thing happens again, but this time in front of him? The one thing I would not want to ever happen is me throwing up flower petals in front of him.
I took a deep breath and sighed. "Are you ready?" I asked as he nodded his head. I held the guitar the correct way and started playing the chords. Then I began singing the song Techno and I had written.
I can't stay awake for too long, I won't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for my head
It'll get me up and going out of bed
Yeah, I don't wanna fall asleep, I don't wanna pass away
I've been thinking of our future, 'cause I'll never see those days
I know why this has happened, and I probably deserve it
I tried to do my best, but you know that I'm not perfect
I been praying for forgiveness, I've been praying for my health
When I leave this Earth, I hope that you find someone else
'Cause, yeah, we're still young, there's so much we haven't done
Getting married, start a family, watch your lover with your son
I wish it could be me, but I can't lift this curse
I hope I go to heaven, so I see you once again
My life was kind of short, but I got so many blessings
Happy your my friend, it sucks that it's all ending
I can't stay awake for too long, I won't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for my head
It'll get me up and going out of bed
I can't stay awake for too long, I won't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for my head
It'll get me up and going out of bed
I'm happy that your here with me, I'm sorry if I tear up
When I am with you, you would always make me cheer up
Taking goofy photos and walking through the park
I would jump into your arms every time I heard a bark
Cuddle in my sheets, sing me sound to sleep
And sneak into the kitchen at exactly 1:03
Saturdays went to the park, on Mondays watched a movie
Soon you'll be alone, sorry that you have to lose me
I can't stay awake for too long, I won't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for my head
It'll get me up and going out of bed
I can't stay awake for too long, I won't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for my head
It'll get me up and going out of bed
I can't stay away for too long, I won't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for my head
It'll get me up and going out of bed
I can't stay away for too long, I won't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for my head
It'll get me up and going out of bed
The whole time I played the song he just stared at me, I could feel his soft green eyes on me. It was still somewhat comforting even though I was nervous. Usually, I don't find that kind of stuff too comforting, especially when I'm nervous about something. I guess Darryl is different though, he's such a comforting person. I really do love him...
I looked up at him and it almost looked like he was about to tear up. "Bad...?" He looked up at me wiping his eyes a bit. "What's wrong?" I asked a bit concerned. Did I do something wrong? I was getting a bit worried that I did do something wrong, the feeling in my stomach came back again.
This feels off... I usually don't feel like this when I'm nervous... This feeling seems so familiar thought I still can't seem to put my finger on it. "Nothing Geppy, it was just... A really beautiful song" His breath hitched a bit. "D-do you mind telling me who the song was about, and why...did one lyric say that you would leave this Earth...? Is everything alright?" He asked while his breath hitched again. I sighed a bit "Bad, it's probably about time I tell you this..." He looked up at me, "tell me what...?"
"Well...this may sound... I don't know, a bit... Unreal? Maybe even crazy?" I said think of how I should word it. "Uh remember how I asked you that day if it was possible for someone to throw up flower petals? And then a few days after I asked you what your favorite flower was and the color?" He nodded his head slowly; he looked a bit confused. "Well... So, turns out, it's actually possible for someone to throw up blood and flower petals!" I nervously laughed. "Zak... Is this some kind of joke? It's literally not possible."
He didn't believe me... That kind of hurt quite a bit. I frowned at the fact he thought I had lied. "Zak, stop trolling me. It really isn't funny..." I felt tears well up in my eyes. The feeling in my stomach came back but this time it started to rise. It went from my stomach to my throat. The petals were coming up. "Bad... I got to go... to the bathroom really quick!" I stood up and quickly ran to the nearest shop that was open.
I run into the bathroom and up come the petals. They were so much darker and bigger than the rest. I had trouble getting them up, choking a few times. It hurt; I thought I was dying. A few moments after I had went back to where Bad had still been sitting on the ground playing with the grass. "Sorry I'm back" I coughed. "Are you okay? I'm sorry I should of waited for you to finish, that was rude of me... Carry on with what you were saying!" I looked at him and sighed, "Alright..." I took a deep breath.
"Basically, I'm going to die because... well I am throwing up red roses and blood." His eyes widened a bit, he looked at me and shook his head. "How? Why are you even...?" Before he could finish his sentence, I blurted out "Because I love you, Darryl!" I quickly covered my mouth, "I... I mean" there was no excuse for what I said. There was no turning back, we sat there in an awkward silence. "O-oh...! Uhm... I'm sorry Zak, I don't...feel the same way" I felt tears prick the corner of my eyes. "I know Bad, that's why I have it...if you loved me back.... I wouldn't have this." I couldn't look at him, I wanted to, but I couldn't I'd end up crying if I did so.
BadBoyHalo's POV:
I really still didn't believe this whole thing. That's a pretty dumb troll to just tell someone how you feel...? Why couldn't he have just been straight up with me? I mean it's not that I didn't love him. I just...don't know how I feel about him quite yet. Gosh, tomorrow might be a bit awkward! "I think I'm going to someone's house until tomorrow. I have to help them with something anyway, I'm just going to stay the night there. He's coming to Disney with us tomorrow as well." He looked so upset... I mean, of course he would! I broke his heart... "Alright Zak, be safe okay? I'll see you tomorrow then!"
He nodded and with that he stood up grabbing the guitar and walking away. I really did feel bad but...I couldn't have just lied to him! I just hope tomorrow goes better and isn't super awkward...I mean worse comes to worse we can probably just split up in groups of two? I think that's what we were going to do anyway, I had heard A6d talking about it. I just really hope he feels better, I'm just a bit upset he lied about the whole red roses and blood thing.
