Alternate Skip reveal scene where it happens later in the campaign
Bonus:
there is absolutely no heterosexual explanation for how Skip is staring at Barry in this poster
i have "drawing the same character repeatedly" disease. look at my skips
that barry syx/skip drabble was everything omg... may i double dip and ask for another trick or treat with them? perhaps a tricky one?
“Skip, there’s something I gotta tell you.” Skip stares placidly at Barry, awaiting his words with no impatience or judgment. “So…y’know how we’ve been doing it?”
“Right on,” Skip replies, with a wink that makes Barry’s big heart skip a beat.
“Right on,” he echoes, running a hand through his hair. “So, I dunno, I was thinking—“
The intercom crackles, Riva’s accented voice beaming directly into both their ears. “Gunner Channel, we’ve got trouble. Watch out!”
“Later?” Skip asks, tilting his head as his hand goes to his pistol.
Barry sighs. “Yeah. Later, Skip. C’mon, let’s go.”
———————
Barry drags himself back onto the ship, grateful for the rigid body of his armor holding his ribs (relatively) in place. “Gunner Channel, we good to go? Everyone back on the ship?” he hollers, making sure anyone with a broken or missing comm still hears.
"Aurora 'n' I are almost there!"
"--can you grab my psychodrone?--"
"Working on getting us to FTL--"
"I've got Zortch down here with me--"
"Skip?"
No response.
Barry thinks he might've cracked the code to micro-FTL jumps, because one second, he's on the bridge, and the next, he's in the cockpit, grabbing the back of the captain's chair to see--
"Skip, Mother Void, scared the shit out of me, dude!" he sighs in relief.
"How many times, Syx? It's Captain, to you," the man barks, wincing at the way it makes his wounded abdomen distend into his hand. "And I'm not your...dude. Go get me a med kit, stat!"
Barry just stares at him.
At his brown eyes.
"Cap--Captain?" he chokes out, his own injuries long forgotten. "Where's Skip?"
"Do I look like I have time for stupid questions?" Norman spits. "When I give you an order, I expect you to follow it, Syx. Med kit, now!"
Barrys are always allowed to healthily express their emotions, but somehow, he doesn't think Sk--Takamori will appreciate if he cries in front of him, so he holds it in til he's out of the captain's bay.
We can't make a hot exit.
Not without Skip.
not Dan and Phil lowkey serving skipbarry cunt
Im very unsurprised that I love skipbarry cause i used to be such a finnpoe shipper and they’re soooo finnpoe coded
-soldier x pilot.
-one of the first people you’ve met, that has helped you escape the oppressive society you were once a part of, is the one that gives you your name and jumpstarts you finding your true identity
-even though that society you were a part of has hurt him in unimaginable ways, he never sees you any differently for it
-he cares about you for who you are, and not the things you can do for him
-he shows you the wider galaxy and things you’d never even dreamed of seeing before
the Barry/Skip dynamic is basically the Troy and Abed dynamic from community and I think that’s why I love the ship sm
also in addition, Sidney is the Annie equivalent and all three of them live in an apartment together and are in a not so secret poly, because Barry has two hands and I don’t have to decide between those two ships when both are canon to me
to the 5 skipbarry fans, hear me out on skipbarry as a prince/knight ship archetype…
