Summary
In typical fashion, Quackity is the one to break the quiet, saying, “Maybe I’m not cut out for this shit.”
“Is anyone?"
“Yeah. Wilbur. At least he can act like it, y’know? Go out there and reel people in and make it look like he’s got shit under control. Everything I take wilts away.”
Tubbo finds himself disagreeing. “You’re the only reason Schlatt won. You know that.”
“And look where that fucking got me. Head lackey to the biggest jackass in the continent.”
“Hey, don’t get ahead of yourself. You’re Co-head lackey to the biggest jackass in the continent,” Tubbo grins, leaning closer to Quackity.
Or, Tubbo and Quackity amidst all the things that come up in a late night conversation.

Summary
“Something wrong with the restaurant?” Quackity asks, ever the businessman. His sleeves are rolled up, white button down scuffed.
“No.” Tubbo’s mouth rapidly shuts, tongue sticking to the spot behind his teeth.
When he gets the impression that Tubbo won’t continue, Quackity looks at him with furrowed brows. He laughs awkwardly and says, “You’re freaking me out a bit, man. You look like you saw a ghost!”
This is something Tubbo can work with. A trend he’s already studied and understood.
“That doesn’t really hold up when there are actual ghosts here.”
“Yeah, yeah, be a smartass,” Quackity smiles. Tubbo is struck by the way his cheeks bunch, looking too young and too old all at once. Is that what people see in Tubbo? A child soldier and a president, naivety and corruption swirling in and out of focus.
Or, Tubbo and Quackity learning to wade through life, as difficult as it may seem.
