Skull Crusher belongs to RabbitDemon!
SMG4 sighs as he looks around the mall, he was in a panic to find the perfect gift for his ex rival. If it wasn't for the fact that he walked in on Mario making birthday pasta for SMG3 he would have no idea, he facepalms ashamed that he had no idea when his partner's birthday was. How could he call himself a friend if he didnt even know the man's birthday. He keeps on walking hoping that the perfect gift would just appear, looking at all the stores nothing screamed SMG3 to him. Right when he was about to give up he noticed a strange stand in the corner of the mall, the sign said ‘Totally Legit Shop’ desperate to get a gift he walked up to the stand.
Four gasps seeing who was running it “Wha? Bob, you're running a stand at the mall now?”
Bob looks around making sure no one else was around “UM SURE! WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?” Four looks around the shop to see an assortment of useless junk, frowning he looks up at Bob “Uh got anything that would fit SMG3?” Hearing this Bob lets out a small chuckle “I HAVE THE PERFECT GIFT IDEA FOR YOUR BOYFRIEND!” Four’s eyes go wide as he nervously rubs the back of his neck “Boyfriend? Ha he isn't my boyfriend we are just friends i don't roll that way you see-” Bob rolled his eyes not believing the guardians words.
He walks away for a moment, Four jumps up when he hears yelling and objects being thrown around. Four peaks over the counter “Uh Bob you okay there?” nothing but silence was returned, getting worried about Bob he was ready to jump over the counter till a piranha plant was planted in front of him. Four blinks as he looked at the plant, unlike normal piranha plants it had blue spikes on its head. Four turns and looks at Bob “THIS BAD BOY IS A POISONOUS PIRANHA PLANT, PERFECT FOR SMG3!”
Without a second thought he tosses a bag of coins at Bob, he then runs off with the plant excited to give the gift to.
SMG4 sees the entrance of the showgrounds, he can feel his heart race with thoughts on how SMG3 would react to the gift. There he noticed SMG3 was standing outside the castle, he was glaring at Mario who was running away. Memes only know what the plumber was up to when he was away, slowly he walks up to SMG3 then takes a deep breath. “Hey SMG3…I got you something for your birthday!” He felt his stomach do flips as he watched the man slowly turn around, he was ready to hear Three hate the gift.
Three turns to see the plant in SMG4 hands, he gasps in surprise as he clasps his hands together “OH MY GOD FOUR, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!”
Four smiles softly as he watches Three smiles brightly at the gift, slowly Three reaches out to the plant. Four’s eyes go wide remembering the poison in the spikes “WAIT THREE THE PLANT IS POISONOUS!” As he finishes his sentence the plant takes a bite out of SMG3's hand. They both stay silent for a moment before Three smiles softly at the plant “I love it, I'm going to call you Skull Crusher!” After freeing Three’s hand the pair agree to find a comfy place for Skull Crusher, they walk over to the cafe where Three opens the door for Four and the plant. Four smiles at him “Thanks Three, now let's find a good spot for her!” Three blushes looking off to the side “I opened it for Skull Crusher, so don't let it go to your head.”
Four chuckles and nods before gently placing the plant next to the counter, he then takes a seat on the bomb chair. Four rubs his arms feeling the pain from carrying the plant for so long, seeing this Three walks over and makes coffee. As he waits for the coffee to brew he starts to pet the plant, Skull crusher turns and rubs up to SMG3 making the man giggle. Four watches and lets out a soft giggle “ I have to say never seen a plant want cuddles before,” Three smirks as he walks away from the plant to finish making their coffees. “Goes to show how much better Skull Crusher is compared to other plants I know.”
As he finishes the coffee he starts to feel strange, he hands the cup to Four “Thanks Three, you shouldn't have it’s your birthday after all!”
Three rolled his eyes as he sat down taking a sip from his drink “Shut it and drink it,” Three didnt want to admit how happy the gift made him. With a sigh he looked at his drink, it wasn't just the gift it was the fact that SMG4 even knew it was his birthday that truly made him happy. Suddenly everything became blurry, he drops the cup spilling the coffee. SMG4 puts his cup down and runs to Three in a panic “THREE?! WHAT'S WRONG?!” That's when he notices a stain on Three’s overalls, he gets up and runs to the plant looking at the spikes “Oh no! Skull Crusher please tell me there is a way to help Three! He must've been poked when you two cuddled up!”
Four looked around the room in a panic, he then remembered the first aid kit in the back room. He runs to grab it, he hears a thud which makes him turn seeing Three on the floor. “THREE!” he runs over cleaning out the small cut, “Oh memes i just wanted to give you a gift not kill you on your birthday!” Three lets out a chuckle before holding his hand, Four blushes as he stares at their hand. Three slowly attempts to sit up, seeing this Four helps not letting go of his hand. “You're so cute right now~” he slurred out, Four blushes as it clicks what the man just said. He reminded himself that the poison must have made the man delirious, the moment he was going to let go of Three’s hand the man moved to hug Four.
Four’s panics trying to pull the man off of him “Three you're poisoned right now we have no time for this!”
SMG3 mumbles into his neck, annoyed at the display he finally pulls off his partner from him “THREE-” his eyes go wide as SMG3 lips pressed against his. Slowly Four wraps his arms around Three holding him close, they begin to glow as they feel their meme energy flow through each other's body. After a few moments they pulled away both red in the face, Three blinked as it slowly clicked what happened. He gets up and runs next to Skull Crusher flustered, Four touching his lips before looking at the pouting guardian.
“You're okay?” Four gets up smiling brightly at Three “YOU’RE OKAY THE KISS REMOVED THE POISON!” Four wasn't sure how the kiss managed to save his partner and he didn't care, he was glad to see his other half safe. Three looks at himself before turning to Four “Huh..must be a meme guardian thing, just so you know I hated everything about that…baka.” He shyly looks away trying to hide how much he enjoyed the contact, Four smirks and nods “Whatever you say, but this is good news. You can cuddle and be with Skull Crusher with no fear!” SMG3 smiles at his plant before turning to Four, his eyes go wide realizing every time he gets poison he would have to kiss SMG4 to be cured. “Nope! I'd rather die than kiss your stupid face again!” Four frowns looking down, seeing this Three made him feel guilty.
With a sigh he blushes rubbing the back of his neck “Maybe…kissing you wasn't so bad,” Four looks up surprised as his face goes red, the pair stand there in silence before Skull Crusher nudges Three closer to Four. They both softly smile at each other “SMG3…I um didn't hate it so if you need help with Skull Crusher let me know,” Three nods before letting out a small cough to get Four to focus on him. “That nudge, think a spike poked me…mind helping?” Four chuckled getting close to Three “Of course not, happy birthday SMG3.” With that the two kissed the pair not mentioning that SMG3 was not poisoned this time.
