          he smiled a bit more, leaning up and kissing skwisgaar gently. so cutes.. you ams really likes a dogs, loyals, nice, cutes..” he continued, resting his head on the other man’s shoulder, letting out a gentle sigh.
                    the compliments continued, and it seemed like toki was full of them. he complimented every single part about skwisgaar, leaving nothing out.. he wanted to make sure skwisgaar felt good, he wanted to make skwisgaar happy.
          ”gosh.. you ams just so great.. so talented.. so adorable.. i loves every part of yous..” he smiled widely, kissing skwisgaar again, before rubbing his face against him like a cat.

          
          
                      

                      NATHAN EXPLOSION.
                 

          he saw the comment pop up, chuckling. he scrolled and scrolled, finding a.. cosplay of himself? he raised a brow, showing it to pickles. ”this dudes dressed like me.. doesn’t even look like me at all.” he mumbled, rolling his eyes. the man did look similar to nathan.. honestly, a bit better. but, nathan would never admit it.
                    he then saw someone dressed as pickles.. from his snakes n’ barrels phase. nathan covered his mouth, holding in a laugh as he showed it to pickles. ”they uh.. got the girly eyeliner down.. pretty well, huh?” he said, giggling.

skwisgaar skwigelf

as it keeps going on, skwisgaar's face slowly heats up. he wasn't used to so many
compliments all at once. though, you'd think dating toki would get him used to it.
you would be wrong. "talented.... you really thinks so?" his voice was weak,
and he sounded like a small child asking a parent if they were proud.

pickles the drummer

pickles glances over, raising an eyebrow. the makeup was pretty good, but the outfit
itself was off. way too neat. there weren't even any tears. hearing nathan's chuckle,
he smirks. "i didn't hear you making fun of me knowing how to put makeup on
when i had to help you with your corpse paint during the last show." he was
unphased by the teasing; he actually wished he still had the hair and body to pull
off those type of looks.

          he nodded, smiling more. "i don't thinks so.. i knows so!" he said, wrapping his arms around skwisgaar tightly. "you ams so talenteds.. so, so talenteds!" he said, smiling more.
                    he held skwisgaars hand tightly as he continued the compliments, smiling more and more with each one he said. he missed this so much.. he loved complimenting skwisgaar, he loved making him feel happy.. and he was so upset when he was doing the complete opposite. so now, he has a lot to make up for.

          
          
                      NATHAN EXPLOSION.
                 

          he rolled his eyes, scoffing. "hey, that's.. different.." he muttered, resting his head on the others head, watching what he was doing on his phone.
                    he looked back at his own phone, noticing he got a notification.. charles just joined, and added nathan. good god, this is gonna be great.. he held in a laugh as he went through the two posts charles just made.. they were just of him struggling to find out how to work the site.
          "good god, charles just joined.. look at this-" he said, showing pickles a post where charles accidentally took a photo of himself and posted it.

skwisgaar skwigelf

skwisgaar says nothing as toki continues, though his face is practically a tomato now.
it's probably hot to the touch, as well. their fight.. it made him forget how much
he liked toki, as bad as it sounds. he leans over, shyly giving him a kiss on his cheek.
it's almost like they just started dating again.. it's not too far from the truth, really.

pickles the drummer

pickles doesn't even try to hide his laugh as nathan shows him. really, for it being taken on
accident, it's not a bad picture of charles. but still... he snickers a bit more, leaning closer
to nathan's phone. he may a bit clueless with technology sure, but he's not that bad. "heh..
he's like an old grandpa who just got his first phone."

                      TOKI WARTOOTH.
          

          he looked back over at the tv, letting out a soft, content sigh. he wouldn't let skwisgaar know this, but.. toki was, well, nervous. he was nervous about if what he was doing was good enough. he was nervous about if he would mess this up again.. he didn't wanna fight like that again.
                    in toki's mind, a fight like that meant the end of a relationship, the end of a friendship. no couples fought in his kid movies, no couples fought like that.. he did NOT like it.
          he wrapped his arms around skwisgaar tighter, thinking for a bit. "skwisgaars.. yous still loves me, rights?" he asked, looking up at him.

          
          
                      NATHAN EXPLOSION.
                 

          he snorted, replying to the photo with a 'nice pic, CFO.' he then turned his phone off, looking over at pickles and staring at his phone. "do you uh, like it?" he asked, smiling a bit.
                    he watched as pickles scrolled through, listening to peoples songs, and, people playing the drums horribly.. he felt himself get a bit tired as he leaned on pickles, not knowing he was slowly crushing him under his weight.

skwisgaar skwigelf

skwisgaar blinks down at toki, shocked. he.. thinks he doesn't love him
anymore? if anything, skwisgaar doesn't love himself anymore. which is
sad, but the truth. he simply can't get back his old confidence he used
to have. it's just.. gone. "oh, toki... of course i stills loves you."
he pulls toki to his chest, sniffling a bit.

pickles the drummer

pickles nods, humming. "yeah... it's okay. i still don't see how murderface
spends all day on here, though." he keeps scrolling, frowning a bit at
any awful songs or drumming he heard. how can people even be so off rhythm?
as nathan lays on him, he shifts a bit. you'd think he'd have learned how heavy he
is after nearly crushing pickles by doing this exact same act at least once a week.

          he stared down, blinking.. he was simply thinking quite hard about.. how he’d help skwisgaar feel better.. he was beginning to think he couldn’t help anymore, but, we all know toki would never give up on something. ”do yous.. loves yourselfs?” he asked, gaze turning up towards skwisgaar. the question, though it was a bit sad, was to the point. there’s no sugar coating a question like that.
                    he laid his head on the others chest, frowning a bit more. ”you ams.. so important to mes, you knows? i just wants you to.. love yourselfs as much as i loves you.. you really ams worth all of the love.. i promise..” he muttered, though his voice was weak, you could tell he was trying his absolute best.

          
          
                      

                      NATHAN EXPLOSION.
                 

          he put a bit more of his weight on pickles, smiling a bit.. probably thinking this was some kind of adorable romance thing that people do.. he was almost like a big big dog, who didn’t know how big they really were, and would try laying on and cuddling with their owner.. he just didn’t know.
                    he had his arms wrapped around pickles, and had shifted down so he own head would be on the others chest.. maybe nathan just wanted to be cuddled a lot today? who knows. some days he’s a teddy bear who loves cuddling, and other days he’s an ACTUAL bear who hates cuddling and would probably bite if somebody touched him. but, he was still to embarrassed to actually ask for any cuddles, he was still working on that..

skwisgaar skwigelf

"do i..." skwisgaar begins to repeat the question, but trails off, frowning.
vaguely, in the back of his mind, he realizes that he's started crying again. but
he doesn't care. the answer was clear by his reaction. toki just asked him a
question he's been running from his entire life. has he ever truly loved
himself? he.. doesn't know the answer. in this moment, it's clear to see just
how much his mom and childhood has truly effected him. it's hard to think
you're worth anything when you spent your entire childhood being ignored. "toki,
i don'ts thinks i can." skwisgaar is whispering, his voice breaking towards
the end of his sentence. at least toki finally got one of the things he wanted; he
got skwisgaar to start talking about it.

pickles the drummer

pickles wheezes a bit, trying to shuffle out from under nathan with no luck. he's just
too heavy. "nate, you gotta stop crushing me like this." his voice is light, clearly
not upset, letting out a breath of relief as nathan moves over a bit. the drummer shuffles
over, crawling on top of nathan and laying his head on his chest. he grins as the vocalist
immediately wraps his arms around him, looking up. "is this why you've been carrying
me everywhere today? you could've just asked, ya know." pickles chuckles a bit, pressing
a soft kiss to nathan's cheek.

          he stared, blinking gently.. that image of the confident, otherworldly god that stood before toki.. was crumbling into the pieces of a broken, pile of what once was skwisgaar.. now it was simply a pile of a broken man. toki wanted so desperately to collect the pieces and glue them back together.. though childish, toki compared this to all his toys. all of them had been broken, abused, tormented at one point.. but toki had fixed them. toki could fix skwisgaar as well.
                    he couldn’t help but feel himself tear up. he shoved his head into skwisgaars chest, letting out a shaky sigh. ”..why? why donts you loves yourself?” he asked gently, frowning. that was.. a bit grand coming from toki, the man who hated every little part of himself. was he really qualified in helping skwisgaar, was he qualified in fixing him? no. he wasn’t. but, was anyone on this earth truly qualified to fix anyone?

          
          
                      

                      NATHAN EXPLOSION.
                 

          he frowned as he realized he was crushing pickles, allowing him to escape his strong grip and rest his head on the brutes chest. he looked away slightly, huffing. ”sorry, sorry..“ he mumbled, sighing. why.. was he being so clingy? nathan didn’t want to admit it, but he was.. reminiscing on his old relationship with trindle. he hated thinking about it.. but it was a big part in why he’s so clingy, why he wants to be near pickles every second of the day.
                    he.. trusted pickles, of course he trusted him. but he felt like he had to be near him every second, watching him, making sure he loved nathan and only nathan. it was most likely obvious to pickles, nathan hadn’t been the same since trindle and his relationship.. pickles was possibly the only one to notice.
          ”i wanna..” he mumbled, before curling up next to pickles, asking for pickles to cuddle him through body language alone.. nathan didn’t always like being the ‘big spoon’.. he smiled slightly when he felt pickles begin to cuddle him.

skwisgaar skwigelf

skwisgaar shakes his head, smiling sadly. "why don't yous love yourself?" he asks, not looking
at the guitarist. at toki's lack of a response, skwisgaar just closes his eyes. exactly. toki's fighting
a losing battle, trying to make skwisgaar love himself. or even think anything good about himself,
really. he says nothing else, letting toki rest his head on his chest. if he said anything else.. he'll end
up saying too much. things he never wants to reveal to anyone, toki included.

pickles the drummer

he frowns a bit, thinking of how nathan has been acting. it's true he's been.. off ever since
trindle. but it's been worse this week, a lot worse. pickles isn't an idiot. he knows what nathan's
thinking. still, though, he wants nathan to say it himself. "what's wrong? you've been acting
weird this week..." waiting for a response, he closes his eyes. pickles could wait all day for
nathan to admit his feelings.
