Chapter Text
Impulse got home and sat down next to a tree. out of breath.
they had just finished the day for this wildcard. They all had superpowers. Impulse had teleportation which was awesome! But the whole session was absolutely exhausting. He was happy he got to see skizz again. Even if he died a bunch. He got to see him.
impulse sighed. He really. Really wanted to go to bed. but most of his teammates were not home. Cleo had went mining for a bit. Pearl was going to bother gem. And BigB was. Well BigB. He was probably at his head base. Maybe. He had no clue. And he also had no clue where scott was. Till he heard a very familiar scottish accent.
“Impulse?”
Impulse perked up. Looking up to see scott staring at him. He quickly scrambled up and hugged the cyan-haired man
“Oh ok! Hug time?” He heard scott laugh before he felt arms wrap around him
“mm…”
“Not that i don't love hugging you impulse, you ok?”
“tired.. miss skizz.. mm..”
“Oh impulse.. You wanna cuddle?”
Impulse nodded quickly
“Alright, lets go then” Scott let go and grabbed impulses hand
Scott brought them to the inside of their base where 5 beds stayed. the 5th one was spare for whenever BigB decided to stay over
“Your bed or mine?” He heard scott ask him
“ ‘m.. don't mind..”
Impulse got dragged over to Scotts bed and they both climbed in and got comfortable
impulse rested his head against scotts chest. His mood today had been all over the place. All day he had been putting a smile on his face but at some points of the day he was close to crying. He had a feeling he knew why but he didn't know why he felt so sensitive today
“Impulse..? You ok”
Impulse gripped tighter onto scotts shirt.
“Impulse. Im here for you. And so is the rest of the 4 Gs”
Impulse nodded. Taking a deep breath before he whispered. His voice cracking a bit. why was he so emotional??
“i.. miss skizz. really badly. i know i saw him today due to the wildcard but. i. I dont know”
he saw scotts face soften. “I know what its like.”
“yea. I know.. I. Just. I didnt expect him to go out so early.. I. I dont know” he whispered. Tears pricking at his eyes. “and. I. I saw the grave grian made for him and i just. I. I dont know anymore. Im sorry”
“Heyhey. Your ok” he heard scott whisper in his ear
“You remember back in 3rd life?”
Impulse looked up and nodded. 3rd life brought back bad memories for him. The bdubs betrayal. He barely got any sleep that season due to him usually being alone. Yes he was with etho. But etho was a bit iffy about physical touch. Which was fine! But it didnt help that there was a few people he didnt know. And skizz was either at his base or at dogwarts. Which was a difficult story.
“I was with Jimmy, we were flower husbands.” He saw scott glance down at the ring on his finger and a smile came on his face.
“I was usually protecting him because hes unusually clumsy.” Scott giggled at the fond memories. “But during that battle with dogwarts..”
Impulse remembered that battle all to well. He was there. On dogwarts side. Due to him being a mole. And then all the drama happened with cleo and bdubs and tango not trusting him… wasnt great memories.
“Jimmy died. due to skizz.. I lost him. I couldnt protect him because i had died and i was on my way back…” he heard scotts voice crack, he looked at scott's eyes which were watery with tears.
“Everything was crazy it didnt hit me till i was back alone at our base. I cried the rest of that day and didnt leave jimmys house. Stayed in his bed. Cleo had came to check up on me but i was so upset i told them to go away. And they did.”
he heard scott choke back a sob as tears fell from his face
“After a day. I was so numb. Either doing nothing or crying. I made Jimmy a grave. Then i guess went crazy. I got revenge. As you know. You were there. I helped grian kill skizz.. Sorry about that.”
“Its fine.. You wanted revenge.” impulse mumbled out.
scott smiled weakly. Sniffling before he continued
“then i went after martyn and ren and that went downhill and i died. I saw jimmy in the afterlife. Then i saw him in other servers. And then. Yea. You sorta know the story after that.”
Impulse nodded slowly.
“Guess we both have clumsy partners. Huh?” Impulse laughed weakly
Scott laugh-cried. He was laughing and tears ran down his face “yea. I guess we do.”
Impulse laughed before he started to speak.
“Skizz has been the most clumsy man i've ever seen. So i wasn't that surprised he’d be one of the first few out in the life series” he laughed weakly “i just. I guess i didn't expect to lose him this early. Im mad at tango. He admitted he threw a wind charge at him but didn't expect him to die. But i just cant help but feel mad.” He spoke softly. Tears slowly ran down his face”
“Its understandable to be mad. You remember when tango got betrayed by bdubs..? And when you got betrayed by him?”
Impulse nodded
“Tango still holds a small grudge to this day about that betrayal in last life. And you still make clocks and give them to bdubs if he doesnt have one. For the small chance he might betray you again. It might stop him.”
Impulse nodded. Laughing as he cried. “Yea. Guess i do. I barely trusted him in double life. Like i loved him to death. Still do. But i still get so. So paranoid and this little voice in my head tells me to be careful”
“Yea. I feel that.” Scott said.
there was a uncomfortable silence for a few moments before scott asked “you want a hug? I know we basically are but like. Death gripping hug?” Scott laughed and impulse laughed aswell before he hugged scott very tighty
scott hugged him back the same way with a death grip for a few seconds before they both loosened their grip
impulse smiled. Yawning, tail swaying before it curled itself around scotts leg
“Tired?”
Impulse nodded. Resting his head on scotts chest.
“Get rest impulse.”
“You too..” Impulse mumbled out before he closed his eyes.

Impulse woke up to the sound of a camera taking a photo. He grumbled and looked behind him to see Cleo, holding their phone, Pearl. Whose tail was wagging and standing next to the zombie. And BigB. Who was standing awkwardly off to the side but could see a small smirk and hear chuckling coming from the creaking hybrid
he Flipped off the three of them and closed his eyes again. Planning on getting as much sleep as he could before he actually had to wake up for the next wildcard
he heard cleo cackling while pearl laughed and told them to shut up unless they wanted a angry impulse and scott on them while BigB gave him a smile before walking off.
Impulse let himself fall back asleep. Still cuddling scott. Content and happy
