Chapter Text
The boards of the library creaked and croaked under light footsteps. Sneaking down into one of the many places they weren’t allowed access. Weird things had been happening and the two wanted answers. Clinging to the one person who had, respectfully may they add, requested they hadn’t gone down there. Yet here the two stood, looking down towards the trap door.
“Should we really do this to him?” The taller asked, looking to the shorter one in blue. The raven haired man felt bad for betraying the third’s trust. But sometimes, that’s what you need to sacrifice.
“He’s been acting weird lately. He even hesitated in saying our names as if he didn’t know them. I know you’re worried and you know I’m worried.” He stated, his frown evident as he looked to the more passionate of the three.
He was silent for a long moment. Fiddling with the tied end of his headband, heavily hesitant. He could tell the other man to his right wasn’t completely sure on this idea either. Though.. It was better than nothing.
Sapnap took a deep breath and said “Well- better now then never, right Q?” He smiled a bit. Looking towards one of his fiances. It helped calm him down, looking towards him. Meeting soft brown eyes and the scar that he knows Quackity doesn’t like but he and Karl have grown to love so deeply.
He nodded and said “Right.” Quackity reached down, his fingerless gloved hand curling around the metal handle. He hesitated for a moment before opening the wooden hatch. Seeing a ladder that goes down far, deep below ground where memories sleep. They certainly hadn’t expected that.
The two looked to one another and Sapnap gestured to him “After you-.” Quackity smiled a bit and muttered a small “coward” affectionately before beginning to climb his way down the tight space, Sapanap trailing behind not much longer, careful not to accidentally step on his fiance’s fingers and such.
The tight crawl space eventually opened up to what seemed to look like a library. The two were confused as they got off the ladder. “What’s so bad about a library?” Quackity voiced both their thoughts as they looked around. There seemed to be many, many books.
“Okay- maybe it’s just me, but now I just want answers-.” Sapnap stated, looking at all the books but not picking any up. He knew Quackity didn’t need to say anything for him to know that the dark haired male felt the same. They had to be- what? 40? Maybe 45 blocks away from the surface? Why would Karl need to hide something like this so deep below ground?
“Hey- take a look at this-.” Sapnap looked over as he heard Quackity whisper. There was another pair of ladders going down, shuffling being heard from down below. The two looked to each other, their looks simply saying to go, nodding. This time, Sapnap went first.
This time, the trip wasn’t as far down as the first one but when his feet silently hit the ground, his confusion was evident. There Karl stood in his complete 5’11 glory.
The two looked to his fiance who had his back to them. They saw what looked to be a purple trench coat going down to his calves, the back having a green swirl much similar to the one on his hoodie. The sleeves are multicolored red, green, blue, and yellow. Pairing along with some black pants and light purple shoes.
It wasn’t long after till a purple and green swirling portal popped up, unlike any the two had seen before. Certainly not one to the Nether or The End.
“Karl?” Sapnap asked, his voice slightly unsteady. The two had never seen the brown haired male whip around so fast. Unable to get any words out before his shoes slipping on some rocks, yelping as he fell back.
“Karl!” The two males yelled, reaching out for their fiance before being pulled in themselves.
Sapnap felt like he was falling. He couldn’t see Quackity or Karl, his vision flashing bright green, fiery orange, neon blue, and then a passionate red before going a bright white that burned. Forcing his eyes closed and preparing himself for the unknown.
