Miss Queen B: I got inspired to write this after watching "DethDads" which was a really messed up but awesomely great episode. Like always, it's a simple Toki and Skwisgaar story because I'm a sucker for these two little goof-balls. Enjoy.
Between Us
"There is no feeling more comforting and consoling than knowing you are right next to the one you love" –Unknown
Normally when Toki hides in one of his "coma" stage, the rest of the band members would just take him to his room and let him be till he comes back to normal after a couple days. But tonight was different since it was exactly five hours ago when Toki watched his dying Father drown in the cold water covered with ice.
Toki sat there on the ice for five hours with a blank stare on his face while his body slowly covered up in a shallow patch of snow. Finally the rest of the band members had enough and dragged him back to the murdercycle and drove off to their Hatercopter for the long trip home.
The night was windy and cold and quiet.
Toki sat on the cold metal floor in one of the small rooms, all alone, cold and in grief. His hair was crusted with ice and the snow was dripping off from his head and shoulder. He was slightly shivering but was too lost in his own sorrow and grief to move or say anything.
The door opened and Skwisgaar stood there with a large black towel in his arms.
"Yous ok" he asked but didn't get anything, but the stare.
"Theres yous go agains, yous just stares at mes" Skwisgaar said, a little annoyed as he walked over to the frozen Toki.
"Shoulds wes think of positives thing agains" Skwisgaar said, as he sat down on his knees reaching up to trace Toki's bottom lip with his finger.
His lips were cold as ice and blue.
"Tokis" Skwisgaar called out, but still didn't get a respond.
He placed his hands on the younger man's cheeks and brushed the ice from his eyebrows with his thumbs. His skin was pale and cold as well.
"Stops starings at mes and says somethings" Skwisgaar said.
Toki didn't even blink, but the blonde could feel his body shivering. Skwisgaar sighed and ran his fingers through the icy brown hair while hearing the ice crystal fall and brake on the floor.
"Says somethings" Skwisgaar asked, in a more whisper tone.
Nothing.
Skwisgaar frown for a second before looking back at the door. Everyone else was on the other side of the Hatercopter either tricking Murderface to hold firecrackers or just sleeping so it was just them. Knowing that Skwisgaar wrapped the black blanket around Toki then slowly pulled him in for a comforting embrace.
He flinched a bit when his warm body touched Toki's cold one but Skwisgaar didn't let him go. Toki didn't respond so Skwisgaar held him tighter and started to rock him a little. Finally, after so many hours, Toki started to move by moving his arms upwards till they were slightly wrapped around Skwisgaar's back.
"Tokis" Skwisgaar whispered while holding him tighter and tighter by the second.
He could feel Toki trembling from holding back the tears in fear that the lead guitarist would make fun of him. Normally, Skwisgaar would make fun of his friend for crying over something stupid or silly, but tonight in this situation he'll let him have this one.
"Its wills be justs betweens us" Skwisgaar said.
Toki's cold body started to melt from Skwisgaar's embrace till he was warm enough to grip onto Skwisgaar's back as if holding on for dear life. Skwisgaar could feel nails digging in the back of his black shirt as the rhythm guitarist buried his head in the Blonde's chest and started to cry.
