Work Text:
It was late at night; Sapnap had to work overnight for some reason that Karl had simply already forgotten. But without Sapnap, that meant that tonight, Karl and Quackity were alone to their own devices.
It mainly was Karl babysitting Quackity as he was high: Quackity had gotten into Sapnap’s weed. Karl really didn’t mind it. As long as they weren’t smoking actual nicotine cigarettes, he’d allow the two of them to get high.
They were sitting alone in the living room, on the floor — for whatever reason. Quackity was heavily leaning up against Karl, basically using the time traveler to be able to simply sit up straight. Karl was holding the avian’s hand. He smiled, giving it a quick kiss, not saying anything and just enjoying the moment instead.
It was nice, just sitting there and relaxing. Quackity would laugh at something in his head every few minutes or so, and Karl would try and pull it out of him to try and hear the joke too… It was nice, it was relaxing.
Quackity let out a small laugh, “Karl?” he asked, his voice ever so prominent he was smiling widely, following another little giggle.
Just hearing the smile and the laughs made Karl’s heart flutter with joy — seeing Quackity so happy made Karl happy, but he stayed chill and just let out a “Hm?”. He squeezed Quackity’s free hand, which he was holding, the one he kissed just moments ago.
Quackity quickly paused, letting out another small giggle.
Karl shook his head, already knowing this was going to be something funny.
“Hey. Hey? Would you still love me if I was a worm?” the shapeshifter asked, still smiling widely.
Karl immediately snorted. “Oh my prime! Quackity, you’re high as crap, but yes, of course I would!”
“Really? You’d love me in all my wormy glory? Slickly slimy dirty wormy glory?”
“Q, what in the world kind of question is that? I— of course I’d love you. You’re one of my soulmates. If you were meant to be a worm, then I guess I’d love a worm. My fate is to be in love with a worm.”
“I’d shapeshift into a worm to make you prove it but I’m hiiiiigh and I don’t know if I would be able to do that or not.”
Karl snickered. “Yeah, yeah you are, you’re so high. I love you, I always, always will. Don’t you forget it, okay?”
“I love you too,” Quackity grinned widely. “You and Sap make me mucho happy,” he snickered.
He’s so cute when he smiles. Karl smiled back at him, matching his grin. “Mhm. You two make me mucho happy as well,” he smirked.
“I’m glad you love me, it’s nice being loved.”
“Of course. I’ll always love you. Even if you were a worm.”
Quackity leaned into Karl. The two of them just stayed like that, talking and having fun for the rest of the night. It was just relaxing.
