'Oneirophobia is the fear of dreams. ... The fear involves suffering due to experiences with frightening dreams or by negative events in the life affecting those dreams.'
Tears slid down the smooth skin of boy who just woke up from his sleep, he could have a normal rest for a while.. or at least since the incidence happened.
Quackity woke up feeling terrible, he was 6 years old and lived with his parents, he loved them but due to the fact that it was 2 am, and nothing bad happened yet, waking them up would be a bad idea, so the boy just got up slowly out of his bed but as soon as he was standing straight, he felt like vomiting.
Quackity ran as quietly as he could towards the bathroom that was near the kitchen and threw up in the toilet. He then proceeded to clean himself up and go back to bed, but as soon as he fell asleep he only could see all his loved ones, those who he trusted disappear into ashes.
This kind of dream, or nightmare, kept on going, repeatedly, for a week, he started hoping every night that he won't get the nightmare but every time he did, it was really traumatizing for the poor 6 year old.
One night everything went down hill...
Quackity was asleep but the difference was that he didn't have the nightmare, suddenly Quackity was awoken by a shriek, when the young boy woke up to hearing this, he realised that's his mothers voice. Running out of his room, into the kitchen, Quackity saw a scene that no 6 year old boy should see..
His mothers and Fathers bodies, ripped apart and scattered all over the kitchen, this caused the boy to hyperventilate and pass out in the middle of the kitchen.
Quackity woke up to sirens, he rubbed his eyes and yawned completely forgetting what happened that night, although that didn't last long because he realised that he was in a police car. The boy started crying and trying to get out, see his parents again, but there was a cop who stopped him and told him to go back into the car.
After Quackity got in the cop also got in and they started driving, they drove 5 minutes before arriving at the police station, little old Quackity had to be investigated. After the whole thing Quackity had to go to the foster care, and couldn't even get his stuff because it was being looked at.
After arriving to the foster care everything went down hill, the staff were mean, the kids were assholes, he had gone to many abusive homes and only ended up being returned, one foster family adopted him at 17 and were really nice, until he realised they paid someone named Schlatt good money to date and marry Quackity.
Although Quackity didn't realise Schlatt was just an act for 2 years, and the black haired boy really thought he was loved, that ended quickly when Quackity over heard ,the day before Schlatt was suppose to propose to him, about all the money and stuff.
So when Schlatt proposed, Quackity rejected, Schlatt was mad and dragged Quackity out of the restaurant to their home and beat the shit out of Quackity, but beanie boy didn't give in, no way he would, so he stayed another year in the abusive home till he couldn't anymore.
Quackity got out of bed, grabbed his stuff and ran, Schlatt wasn't home yet, probably out drinking, but that didn't matter, he needed a job, shelter, TO GET OUT OF THAT FUCKING TOWN.
And he did, Quackity got on the train, and stared at his phone as it started driving off, he knew it was going to be a long ride.
When Quackity looked up as the train was stopping, 'Finally.' Quackity thought as he stepped onto a new land.
First Quackity looked around town looking for a job, and he saw a poster hanging on a little bakery 'Help Wanted, come inside or call : ----_---__--' "Perfect." Quackity whispered to himself quietly and opened the door.
Saying that outside was cold is a HUGE misunderstanding, it was absolutely freezing but Quackity only realised that when he walked into the bakery, warm air hit his face making him stumble a bit, he closed the door behind himself and walked up to the cashier who just finished with a customer.
"Hi! How may I help you?" A boy with brown really fluffy hair and a weird multi-coloured jumper called out to Quackity, "Oh I was wondering about job applications?" Quackity said snapping out of his thoughts , "OH OF COURSE!" The happy boy jumped around as if he won the lottery "SAPNAP!!! THERE IS SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO APPLY TO A JOBBBB!" His voice was loud but it wasn't bad, it was kind of.. cute?
"Karl, I swear to god, your going to scare them off-" A black haired, tall male walked into the room, he was wearing a bandana and an apron which he just took off at hung on the wall, but under the apron was a little flame printed on it.
"Hello, I'm guessing your that one who wants a job?" The male whose name was Sapnap asked Quackity eyeing him up and down, Sapnaps voice wasn't as cheerful as Karls but sure wasn't mad or anything, "Yess? I am." Quackity started to fidget with his fingers a bit, Sapnap seemed to notice this, "Alright come on then, lets interview you."
Quackity and Sapnap sat in a room that looked like an office, Quackity looked at his hands while Sapnap typed something on his computer, "So.. Sapnap started ..How is your experience with jobs?" Quackity was startled with this question "Uhm.. never had one.." Quackity bit his lip as Sapnap typed.
It went on for 10 minutes and the last question was "do you know how to cook, clean, take orders etc.?" Quackity wanted to answer "Yes, of course i do, I was imprisoned in many homes having to do that and then dating someone who then I almost married and escaped from yesterday." but he couldn't so just said "Yeah, i can.."
Sapnap looked at his computer then looked up "Your hired!" He smiled "Wait really?" Quackitys posture suddenly straightened, "Yup, go home and here is your schedule, you can start tomorrow!" Sapnap said printing out papers and handing them over to Quackity "Thank you!" He got up and bowed, then walked out of the room.
"So did you get hired?" Quackity heard a voice, he turned around and saw Karl "Yeah! Thank you!" Karl laughed "It was Sapnap not me, he is the one who is stricted about this whole thing!" Karls said winking at Quackity, the latter just laughed "Alright I will see you tomorrow then goodbye!" Quackity waved as Karl waved back.
The beanie boy walked around town, he needed somewhere to stay, luckily he had his credit card which has quite an amount of money on it, but it wouldn't last forever that's why he needed a job.
Later that day, Quackity bought himself an apartment and clothes, he was going to redo his life, starting from now. With that he got into bed and scrolled on his phone, no yelling, no tears and no shame, just tired but he knew he couldn't go to bed, he just couldn't.
---------------------
The next morning, Quackity got out of bed, it was around 4 am and his work started at 5 so he didn't really have much time, but it was fine he got used to having do things quickly.
While putting on clothes Quackity turned on the TV only to find the news, 'Be careful today we are expecting a giant storm 6 pm, so try stay home.' "Well isn't that just great!" Quackity exclaimed while putting on socks and chewing on his now warm toast.
Before walking out, Quackity grabbed his bag and headed out, he was already almost at the bakery when he realised he forgot his umbrella "Shit." He thought to himself, but it was too late to turn back.
Quackity walked into Karl taking cleaning the counters "Hey! Your early." His voice as bright as ever "Really?" Quackity looked at the clock on the wall, it read 4:39 am, "O-oh sorry, I'm just used to being early and stuff-" Quackity not being the confident self he should be started to panic a bit.
"No no it's fine, really, actually it's great! you can help me out because Sapnap is going to be late today." Karl said scratching the back of his neck "Okay, do you need me to do anything specific?" Quackity started looking around the entry way of the bakery.
"Yeah! do you know how to bake pies? Like sweet pies? Like raspberry or Blueberry" Karl asked tilting his head to the left side while looking at Quackity. The latter blushed slightly but brushed it off thinking its from embarrassment.
"Yeah I can." Quackity answered looking at the ceiling "Great! I can show you the kitchen and everything and you can get started while Sapnap isn't here!" Karl started jumping around again and a smile crept onto Quackitys face.
Karl lead Quackity to the kitchen and showed the beanie boy were everything is at, that including the dairy products, aprons, liquids, powders, and all the rest.
Quackity was amazed and was exited about starting. As soon as Karl left, Quackity grabbed an apron, all the ingredients and started to mix everything together. He has baked stuff so much that he didn't need a recipe nor did he need any measuring items.
Putting in his 5th pie into the oven, Sapnap walked into the kitchen "Quacki- WHAT IN THE FUCK HAPPEND HERE?!" Sapnap stared in shock as to the fact that the kitchen was not only filled with pies but also had flour over the table and Quackity.
What Sapnap didn't notice was that when he screamed, Quackity flinched, but it wasn't too noticeable, "Well I had a bit of an accident and then forgot to clean it up because of the fact that one of the pies would have burned.." Quackity did a little awkward laugh at the end of his sentence as Sapnap sighed.
The beanie boy watched as Sapnap put on an apron and started cleaning up the flour, "Are you mad?" Quackity asked slowly not wanting to step on a mine, "Y'know... I was going to be but your probably the quickest workers we had that I'm not even going to mention it, like seriously, you baked 5 pies in an hour or so!" Sapnap flung his arms up with a wide smile on his face.
Suddenly Karl burst in "I HEARD SCREAMING!" The curly boy yelled as he looked around the room, seeing a very strange picture, Quackity standing covered in flour with Sapnap now also a little covered in flour because when he was cleaning it up, go obviously got some on his hands, and because of the fact he flung his hands in the air, that flour came down.
In the end Karl saw what he would describe it as two very confused, embarrassed ghosts. Karl then looked at the pies and his mouth fell open "When- I- how??" Karl ran up to the pies, grabbed them and ran away.
"What the fuck just happened?" Quackity looked at the door that Karl just ran through as Sapnap burst out laughing, "I haven't seen the reaction in awhile." Sapnap wheezed and he wiped off a tear.
For the next 2 hours Quackity and Sapnap baked and laughed, and Karl would run in and out every 20 minutes with the food, sometimes coming in for seconds, or thirds.
It was around 8 am and at this time specifically there were barely any customers, so while Quackity was busy trying to bake who knows what, Sapnap went to chat with Karl.
When Sapnap was near the door leading to the front desk, he heard Karls voice "Sir, Please leg go, this is not fucking ok." Suddenly Sapnap heard a wince followed by a "Oh come on, isn't this what they like?".
Now Sapnap was not okay with anyone touching Karl, He burst into the room and saw Karl being pinned to the wall by a guy who was taller than Karl but still not a tall as Sapnap, "Ay mate, I don't think he likes this, let go." Sapnap walked over, rolling up his sleeves and pushed the guy off Karl.
"What do you mean man, we were just having fun, come on." The guy talked back which Sapnap did not take well. One minute they were talking the next the guy was on the floor with a bleeding nose and Sapnap standing over him.
The man ran out of the store and Sapnap turned around to see Karl crying. "OMG! Karl Are you okay? are you hurt?" Sapnap was really worried but Karl just smiled and hugged Sapnap, this was unexpected for the Bandana boy, but me hugged back as Karl started to speak.
"I'm just happy you came.." Karl whispered finally letting go and wiping away his tears, Sapnap slightly smiled at the younger "It's okay if you ever need help, just yell ok?" Karl nodded as they hugged again.
Then the moment was ruined by Sapnap "Shit I forgot to tell Quackity to look after the Banana Bread I put into the oven before I came-" He was Interrupted by a scream.
The two boys ran upstairs to see the problem, they came up and ran into the room to see Quackity throw the bread onto a plate but it was thrown so nicely and perfect, while the face of pure panic ran around the kitchen not noticing the other two.
Quackity was cooking many things at once, that including pancakes, the banana bread he just took out, chocolate cake, blueberry muffins, ginger cookies, and another 3 things that Karl and Sapnap didn't know what it was.
It was only when Quackity finished everything and put them all on plates which were on the table, then collapsed on the floor. That's when Karl and Sapnap came over to him and stood over his poor, tired body.
"Oh heeey guys!" Quackity Smiled awkwardly "You sure are quick!" Karl giggled at the memory of Quackity jumping the counters like a professional jumper, Quackity blushed and hid his face in his hands.
"What time is it?" Quacks asked the others and they looked at each other "I have no idea." Sapnap shrugged "its- HOLY IT'S 5:59!" Karl looked at his watch in shock, "Wasn't it just 8am?" Sapnap looked at Karl.
The three boys looked at each other as if one of them was a time traveller, then burst out laughing, Quackity got up and all three of them started cleaning while also having fun, or more like bonding, like a new born friendship but not quite.
Quackity went to go grab his stuff, it was now 6:45pm and he had no were particular to go but didn't want to get soaked and then sick the next day, but to his disappointment as soon as he was about to step outside, rain started pouring, like someone filled a bucket and poured it on someone.
And Quackity being Quackity, forgot his umbrella at home, plus no shops were working because of the storm warning that morning, "You good Quackity? Where is your umbrella?" Sapnap asked with Karl poking his fluffy brown head through the doorway.
"Oh! I uhhh.. kinda forgot it.." Quackity scratched the back of his neck "Oh dear.." Karl whispered "But you know I think I can make it home before it gets Worse..." Quackity smiled at the other two, when suddenly BOOM Quackitys smile instantly dropped and he flinched.
"Maybe not..." He cursed at himself under his breath, "How... how far do you live from here? Im guessing you walked?" Karl asked "Uhm.. about 30 minutes away..?" Quackity answered not quite understanding why Karls asking that.
"You can come stay with us for tonight?" Sapnap asked fully understanding what Karl was going to mention, Quackity was quite taken back by this statement.
"No no, I'm good, thanks but I don't want to intrude into your house like that, plus we only met yesterday? I could be a criminal escaper, you don't know?" Quackity Stumbled on his response but got the message out "Are you?" Sapnap asked.
"What?" Quackity asked "Are you a criminal escaper?" Sapnap repeated his question "No?" Quackity answered truthfully, I mean obviously not a criminal, but...
He was a escaper..
"Then it's fine, come on." Sapnap gestured Quackity to come over and so the beanie boy did.
----------------------
Quackity walked behind the other two boys all the way to the back of the bakery and opened a glass door, then walked out not getting wet, Quackity looked up and saw that they weren't getting wet because there was a cover above them.
they walked a minute before opening, and entering a new place, "Where are we?" Quackity asked looking around, the house looked vintage, with fancy paintings on the walls and a giant hallway leading to more halls and other doors.
Karl giggled at the state Quackity was in as Sapnap just smiled "This is our home." The latter said as they all took off their shoes, "I can show you were you can stay for the night!" Karl hopped around.
Before letting Quackity answer, he grabbed the sleeve of beanie boy and dragged him down the hallway as Sapnap laughed in the distance.
Karl only let go of Quackity when they had come to a stop. Quackity looked around and saw a room that he couldn't even imagine in his dreams: A high ceiling with designs carved into it and a chandelier in the middle, a king sized bed with fancy sheets, a really fluffy beige carpet and a desk with a giant mirror.
"What the actual fuck.." Quackitys mouth fell open at the sight of the room, Karl giggled again "I guess you're not from this town ey?" Karl put his had on Quackitys shoulder.
"Yeah no I'm not why?" Quackity tilted his head to the side as Karl smiled, "Because this is a normal house compared to the others, why do you think we have trouble with hiring?" when Quackity heard this he felt like his whole life was a lie.
"Alright, I will leave you alone now, if you are hungry don't be afraid to go to the kitchen to eat anything!" Karl waved and with that he left a speechless Quackity in the room.
After Quackity recovered from his state, he closed the door and entered the room a bit deeper and realised there was a full on walk-in closet and a private bathroom, Quackity did not have the right mental state for this today, he was tired and didn't want to bother anyone.
Luckily for Quackity, in the bathroom there was a washing machine, so while Quackity was showering, his clothes could also wash, after he was done the washing also finished, so he took out the wet clothes and put them into a dryer.
About half an hour later, the drying was done, Quackity took out the clothes and put them on.
One trait that Quackity had since the first foster home, was that he would always wear two pairs of clothes, like a Tee under a long sleeved shirt, and shorts under his sweatpants, this was just in case.
So Quackity put on the lower layer of clothes and went to bed. Of course he didn't sleep, he just went on his phone, so then Quackity spent the next few hours on his phone.
At around 3 am, Quackity decided to get up. He put on the top layer of clothes, made the bed and went out. It wasn't raining at the moment but that was irrelevant because he was under a cover.
Quackity came to the bakery and tugged on the back door, it was unlocked "Huh, that's strange." Beanie boy thought as he turned on the lights.
The boy started preparing for the day, cleaning the counters, the floors getting mopped and just cleaning in all, when Quackity was finished, he looked at the clock, it showed 4:32.
"Oh, might as well start on baking." Quackity shrugged and made his way to the kitchen.
By the time he put the 3rd batch of cupcakes into the oven and frosting to first, Sapnap came in, "G'morning.." Quackity tried holding back a yawn "Good morning..? you ok?" Sapnap looked at Quackity confused.
"Yeah why?" Quackity asked putting the cupcakes onto the plate and taking out the 2nd batch to frost on it, "You seem tired.." Sapnap said putting on his apron and helping out Quackity with the cupcakes, "Nahh, I'm finee.." Quackity covered his mouth as he yawned a little.
For another 6 hours the three boys worked non-stop, there were a lot more customers today, and they simply couldn't stop.
At around 4pm, all the customers cleared out leaving the three boys in peace, of course one or two came in every now and then, but not that much.
When Quackity was on the make of trying to bake some pudding, Sapnap had to go take Karls cover because the brownie needed to use the restroom and also was running around the entire time, so he really needed a break.
After 5 minutes of trying, Quackity gave up and sighed, he grabbed his phone and went down to Sapnap to ask him for help or at least a recipe he could use, a good recipe.
Although did get a little surprise when he saw Sapnap being hugged by some woman, Sapnap looked very uncomfortable and looked up to see Quackity, silently mouthing to the beanie boy to get him out on the situation.
Sapnap was a good person, but no matter how much he tried, he could never hurt a female, or just certain people in total, so when he saw Quackity looking at the bandana boy, the latter hoped Quackity would help him.
Apparently Quackity got the message, "Ma'am, could you please get off of him." Quackity came up to them and lightly tapped her on the shoulder, but the woman didn't take this the nice way, "And who are you? Leave me and my boyfriend alone, you worthless shit-bag?"
"Woman, I am NOT your boyfriend, please do NOT speak that way to my friend." Sapnap said sternly as he lightly pushed the woman off of him, "Baby, how could you-" The woman got interrupted but a loud "BABY?!"
Karl walked into the room with a scowl on his face, "Oh great, and who are you?" The woman rolled her eyes as Karl walked to Sapnap and hugged him, "I'm his boyfriend, bitch." Karl flipped off the woman and she looked at them with a disgusted look.
"You are GAY?!" She shrieked as Karl blocked his ears and Sapnap helped him "THAT IS DISGUSTING, IT'S A SIN, YOU WHORES." The woman was too busy screaming to notice Quackity who came up to her and SLAP suddenly there was no more screaming.
"Don't Fucking talk to my friends like that." Quackity said loudly and sternly at her, "How dare you slap me, I'm calling up the authorities on you!" She yelled and stomped out of the store, but luck was on the boys side, because as soon as she stepped out of the bakery, rain started pouring.
The three boys all laughed at her while she flipped them off and ran.
The rest of the day went on, at 6pm they started cleaning and packing to go home, luckily this time Quackity could go home and not get under the rain. He got back home, changed and went on his phone, not sleeping, although someday all this tiredness will form one big ball, and knock Quackity out into hours of sleep, and all those horrible dreams.
-----------
For the next few months, Quackity, Sapnap and Karl have become great friends, Quackity has stayed over at least twice a week at their house and just having a blast in all.
One day, they were closing a little later than usual, it was 8 pm and already dark outside, Quackity had to go outside to take out the trash, which in fact, is one of the most things Quackity hated.
It was dark and the bin was in a dark alleyway, although nothing bad ever happened, Quackity never felt safe, and it didn't help that the boy was also sleep deprived.
So the beanie boy went out and put the rubbish in the bin, but just as he was about to turn around, he heard a noise. Now this noise could be just a stray cat but the noises were footsteps, and they were getting closer.
Quackity knew by the sound of how heavy the steps are, that it isn't Karl or Sapnap, so just as Quackity turned around to see who it was standing behind him, he got punched in the face, really hard.
The person started laughing a little at Quackity who was holding his cheek in pain, the person started kicking Quackity who could barely breath, then the mysterious person picked Quackity up by the latters neck and punched the guy into the stomach.
Just then Quackity heard someone "Quackity?" It was Sapnap, then he heard a scream, this time coming from Karl, the next thing Quackity knew, he was being hugged by someone and a figure blocking the guy who was choking the beanie boy a moment ago.
Quackity couldn't see clearly, maybe it was because of the damage done, or he was crying, maybe both, but then understood who it was by the voices "Who the FUCK are YOU!" Sapnap said loudly that Quackity flinched and Karl closed his ears.
"No no, the right question is who are YOU?" The guy questioned while pointing at Sapnap "I'm his friend." Sapnap growled at the guy and slapped his hand away, "Well then, get out." The man rolled his eyes.
"What..?" Sapnap was now confused but still angry, this guy touched his friend! "I said move, get out, my deal is with him, not you." The guy moved closer to Sapnap and tried pushing him away just to get a fist collide with his face.
The man fell on the floor, and leaned on the wall, this kind of showed the differences in strength. Sapnap then proceeded to start dragging the guy out of the alley as Karl called the police.
Just as the man was being dragged out he yelled out to Quackity "HE KNOWS YOUR HERE, HE WILL COME GET YOU! "And started laughing maniacally, at this Quackity froze.
He Knows
He Knows
He Knows
He Knows
He Knows
"-ackity?"
He Knows
He Knows
He Knows
He Knows
"-ACKITY!"
He Knows
He Knows
He Knows
He Knows
Suddenly Quackity felt something or something shaking him.
"QUACKITY!!" Karl yelled with tears pouring out of his eyes, Quackity let out his breath which he didn't know he was holding in, "OMG I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!!" Karl wailed and threw himself into Quackitys arms.
Just as that was happening, Sapnap walked in "The cops came and took him, are you guys ok?" The bandana boy rushed over to the two crying boys and pulled them into a hug, Quackity flinched at the contact, but then melted into the hug.
After what felt like forever but really was only 5 minutes, the boys let go, "Come guys, we should go home, we need to fix you up Quacks and it looks like it's going to rain." Sapnap stood up and looked at the sky.
"Sure, Come on Quackity, up!" Karl said smiling a bit although his face was a mess, red and puffy. Quackity got up and leaned on the two other boys, it was a pain to even move, so he would need a little help.
The other two caught onto this pretty quickly and they walked down back to the bakery and home.
Once they arrived, the brownie went to get the first aid kit, while Sapnap helped Quackity to the couch, Karl came back and they started patching put Quackity, and they used alcohol, one of the most things the beanie boy hated the most, was alcohol.
But there was not much he could do, so he just closed his eyes and prepared for pain.
And it came, right into his scars, Quackity jumped at this but couldn't scream, apparently he lost his voice.
"Oh dear oh shit.." Karl muttered "Well not much we can do about your voice Quackity.." He placed his hand on Quackitys shoulder, tears fell out of Quackitys eyes, but it wasn't because of his voice, he wasn't happy, or sad.
he was Scared..
"Y'know it's pretty late.." Sapnap looked at the clock, but none of them were tired, "You.. wanna watch a movie?" Karl asked, and the other two boys nodded eagerly.
So the boys set up blankets and snacks, and started watching 'Up'. about half way through, Karl and Sapnap went out to talk about something and Quackity just stayed watching the rest of the movie.
When it ended Karl and Sapnap came back in, "Y-u Gu-uys Mmis-d ha-f th- mov-i.." Quackity croaked and laughed dryly at how he sounded, "Quacks! Your not supposed to talk!" Karl ran up to beanie boy.
The latter just put his hands up as if saying "Sorry" Karl sighed, "Look-" Karl got interrupted by Sapnap "Hey we need to talk to you..." Karl looked at Sapnap and glared, but not too hard, the glare was more of a 'Sapnap you stupid bitch, he is going to freak out.' type of glare.
Quackity tilted his head as if saying 'What..?' Karl took a deep breath in, "We thought that.. maybe you could join us? Like in our relationship? Like-" Again Karl was interrupted but probably for the best, "Basically he is saying, Would you like you be our Boyfriend?
------------
"What..?" Quackity was in shock. He tried to get up but his legs ended up giving up on him and he fell on the ground, the other two boys rushed towards beanie boy to help him up.
"Are you okay?" Karl asked as he felt tears prick in his eyes from the fact that Quackity hasn't answered the question and the latter is going to hate them.
"Are- are you sure?" Quackity looked down and looked at his lap, Sapnap and Karl looked at each other, "What?" The boys didn't really understand the question.
"Are you sure about having me in the relationship?" Quackity looked up at the others. Sapnap sighed and sat down next to Quackity with his arm around the beanie boys shoulder "Of course, we would love you to be an additional person to our relationship." Sappy smiled.
Karl sat down on the other side of Quackity "Yeah! We can be a poly!" Brownie smiled and put his head on Quackitys shoulder where Sapnap used to have his hand, now it move to Quackitys waist.
"A what?" Quackity honestly didn't know that word and at that Karl giggled "A polyamorous." Sapnap said "Polyamaris?" Quackity tilted his head a bit "No no Poly - amo - rous." Karl shook his head slightly "Poly - ama - ris?" Quackity pronounced slowly.
At this Karl sighed "Well fine sure, but you didn't answer the question?" Quackity closed his eyes and threw his head back, then opened them "Sure, if that's fine with you." Quackity smiled.
Karl started jumping around the room and Sapnap just leaned forward off the sofa "Y'know what, it's time for bed." Quackity got off the sofa and stretched "Will you live with us? Will you?" Karl started bugging the beanie boy "Karl stop bugging him, we can think about this tomorrow." Sapnap laughed and went upstairs.
The other two boys follow Sapnap and separated, Quackity went to shower and change, putting to dirty close into the washer, turning off the lights and going on his phone, even if he didn't have this 'never sleeping' thing he wouldn't be able to sleep, it was a lot to think about.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Quackity got up to see who it was, Sapnap was standing there "Hey you wanna come in bed with us?" Sapnap asked half asleep "Uhm-" Quackity thought of the pros and cons, but before he finished Sapnap grabbed his hand lightly and dragged him to the bedroom.
Karl was lying there, asleep. Sapnap got in and patted the place in the middle, Quackity got in and layed on his back, soon he heard soft snores coming from Sapnap and a slight tug on Karls side. The beanie boy looked over and saw Karl clinging onto him, so Quackity changed his position to be able to cuddle with Karl, not long after he did, he felt pressure on his back, shifting his head slightly, he saw Sapnap.
Quackity felt loved.
If Quackity could, he would have fallen asleep right then and there, but he didn't, and it wasn't too bad. The next thing Quackity knew, it was morning and sun started pouring out of the window, Quackity looked at the alarm clock, it showed 7:07 am.
Quackity slightly panicked, he tried getting out of the grip by slightly expanding himself and slipping through the bottom, then he proceeded to go downstairs and cook something, he knew there was no point going to the bakery because it was closed.
So beanie boy started making some pancakes, but it was his style, he learnt it a while ago while still being a kid.
Quackity was making a mixture for pancakes, but he was rushing with a wall of tears threatening to spill. He woke up late from his abusive, drunk foster parents and had to make breakfast quickly otherwise he would be punished.
The boy didn't know what he was putting in since it as a muscle memory thing for him to cook, but he wronged something and did something with measurement of other ingredients, so when he put the pancake into a pan, and put it in the oven, it can out big and fluffy.
He never got to try any but his parents ate it up with the speed of light and told him to make it ever morning, so Quackity looked at his ingredients, measuring cups and spoons and started making it every morning.
Well until the parents brought him back to the foster care.
Quackity grabbed all the ingredients he needed, and began. After around 10 minutes Karl and Sapnap came down looking fresh, just as Quackity finished washing all the dishes after putting the cake to cool down on a plate.
"Good morning!" Karls bright voice filled Quackitys ears and the latter flinched, after realising it was only Karl he turned around after putting the dishes into the dish rack, "Good morning." Quackity smiled and grabbed a knife.
"What are you guys waiting for? grab a plate!" Quackity laughed as the two boys flushed pink and went to get plates, Quackity cut up the cake and placed a slice into each plate.
The boys all got a pleasant surprise when they tasted it "Wow, this is amazing Quacks! How did you make it?" Karl asked stuffing more into his mouth "haha.. well it was by accident.." Quackity shrugged not wanting to say the whole story.
Karl just nodded and kept eating, but Sapnap eyed Quackity before returning into his own, Quackity was glad they didn't ask questions, just peaceful chatting and eating.
"Why don't you guys have curtains in your room, I was fucking blinded." Quackity whined as Karl looked over at Sapnap "True why don't we have curtains SAPNAP?" Sapnap rolled his eyes "Listen okay? It was an accident, I didn't mean to burn them." Quackity hummed but as soon as he processed the words, he started choking.
Karl panicked as Sapnap got up from the counter and ran to Quackity to help him. Eventually Quackity stopped choking and Sapnap sighed in sync with Karl, "HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO SET A BEDROOM CURTIAN ON FIRE?!" Quackity was laughing so hard he fell to the floor on his knees, was clutching his stomach with his left hand, and with the right hand he was banging on the floor.
"I-i thought we weren't going to bring the topic up.." Sapnap blushed in embarrassment, crossed his arms and turned his head around to look the other way.
"It's okay Sappy." Quackity got up giggling a bit and wiping away a tear "Yeah we love you!" Karl ran up to the two and tackled them to the ground in a hug, they had a great time together that day, hanging out and having fun.
-------------
A week went by, the relationship was going great. They cooked together, ate together, and soon enough Quackity got comfortable to sleep with the two, well not really considering he doesn't sleep.
One night, the boys were asleep and Quackity really needed to go to the bathroom, he struggled out of the grip of the other two and quietly walked off.
After using the bathroom, Quackity heard a knock on the door "Who the fuck is out at this time?" The beanie boy muttered to himself, he weighed the chances of it being a burglar or a lost person.
He went and looked out of the peep hole.
There was a scream.
Suddenly the front door was kicked open as Quackity stood in shock with tears in his eyes, trembling from the person who was in front of him.
"Missed me Dear?" Schlatt asked with a wide grin, while Quackity just slowly started walking backwards, trembling "No..no.." He whispered as Schlatt came closer to him.
Quackity fell on the floor with his arms in front of his face, and just as Schlatt was about to grab the beanie boy "HEY!" Schlatt froze, Quackity felt arms around him and flinched, but then melted into the touch when realizing it was Karl.
"ohoho, and who are you?" Schlatt smirked and tilted his head to the side, "We are his boyfriends you fucker." Sapnap said clenching his fists, "Ay ay man, I don't wanna fight, just give me back what's mine." put his hands in the air mockingly.
"You broke into OUR house and demanding something from US?" Sapnap was furious "Yeah, just give IT to me." Schlatt pointed at Quackity, "Oh nonono, you aren't getting shit mate." Sapnap walked up to Schlatt and knocked him out.
--------------
Schlatt got taken by the police and Sapnap with Karl tried their best to help Quackity, the poor boy wasn't in the right state of mind, he kept whispering things, shaking and flinching if anyone came close.
Sapnap was mad at Schlatt for being near Quackity and bringing him into this state, but the drunk was already taken away by police and probably not coming anytime soon, definitely not coming anytime soon, Sapnap and Karl wouldn't allow him.
Eventually Quackity fell asleep while cuddling with the two boys, he was tired and stressed out, cry also took away a lot of his energy, and his sleep deprived ass, this all ended up in him falling asleep.
There were tear stains on Quackitys face and it looked so sad. The other boys were about to tuck him in and go to not disturb his sleep, but then suddenly felt a tug on their shirts, looking back Quackity - who was still asleep - was holding on.
Quackity mumbled something but due to the fact he was asleep it was hard to comprehend what the he was saying, but at that time all Karl and Sapnap did was look at each other and sigh, then they climbed in bed with Quackity and cuddled.
In the middle of the night Quackity woke up, he looked around - panicking - getting up rapidly and moving into the bathroom, It was too loud, he needed to get away, he could have another failed relationship.
Quackity was halfway to the bathroom when he broke down, he leaned on the wall and slid down, sobbing, hearing voices, what were they saying?
The beanie boy looked up to see worried faces of his beloveds, there was ringing in Quackitys ears, he could see Sapnaps mouth moving, but couldn't hear.
"ey-"
"Hey take it ea-"
"Quack-"
"Quackity"
"Quackity, hey, its fine, what's wrong?"
Karl was hugging Quackity from the back after Quackity didn't realise that he was pushed off the wall, "You good? You randomly woke up and started panicking." Sapnap was in front of Quackity crouching with his hand on Quackitys shoulder.
"I- i-." Quackity wanted help, he wanted to tell them "I... don't like sleeping.. sleeping.. and !- I just-" The beanie boy inhaled sharply "Why?" Karl shoved his face from behind right into Quackitys face.
"Maybe not here, not the best place to have a vent." Sapnap laughed a bit, the boys got up and walked towards the bedroom, then sat down on the bed.
--------------
Took some time, but in the end Quackity told the two boys about basically his whole life. All three of them were crying by the end, mixed in with a bit of anger, but that was all covered by love.
After hearing the story of Quackitys poor conditioned life, they threw themselves onto Quackity, strangling him into their hug. All of them ended up getting up and setting a fort in the grand living room which people barely used.
Karl was getting snacks, Sapnap was making the fort and Quackity was choosing the movie, he ended up picking Maze Runner (I don't know any good movies ;-;).
The lovers all sat down in the fort and cuddled while watch the very cute and wholesome movie. They were half way through the series, when Sapnap realised the other two were asleep, smiling slightly, he grabbed the remote and turned off the telly.
The grabbed a blanket by stretching because he was covered by Quackity and Karl laying on him. Then covered all of them, and also fell asleep.
All of them were at peace.
Nobody could hurt them any longer.
