Chapter Text
Roy had been planning his most mischievous prank yet on Wade, he had become upset as all hell with the duck. He completely acted abrasive to him ever since Orson moved onto the farm.
He, of course, pulled pranks on everyone, but Wade was his favorite target.
“Oh, Wade!”
“Hi, honey! How was your day?” Wade genuinely smiled, not knowing what was about to occur.
“Why the fuck are you calling me honey? You’re so damn gay. Quit it.”
“Okay, Roy… I thought you liked me calling you that.”
“When?! Are you fucking nuts? We’re not even together, you stupid bitch.”
“Oh….” A tear came out of Wade’s eye.
“Wait, are you trying to say you like me? You are disgusting as shit.”
“I’m sorry… I can’t control it.”
“Whatever. Oh look, Wade, there’s an alien right over there ready to attack you!”
“Where, Roy, where?” Wade started to dash off to find the alien.
Roy started to throw pies at Wade’s dress.
“Roy, quit ruining my clothes! Please!”
“Oh look, it’s the sissy twink boy. Awww. He thinks I’m gonna just stop, huh.”
Wade stopped and turned to the front of the rooster.
“You will?”
“Hell no!”
He jumped and smashed two pies on each side of the duck’s head.
Wade then tripped on Roy’s leg and fell completely on his back, he started to cry heavily.
“Heh. Pussy bitch.”
“I’m-i’m sorry… what did I even do to you???? You were so nice to me one day and now you’re acting like this??? What happened to you????”
“Me???? How about you???? You are acting insane as hell right now! We were never together, we never will be! Ever—“
Roy got shot via Orson’s AK-47 and collapsed to the ground.
“ORSON???? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?????”
“I did something I needed to do long ago.”
Wade kept repeating “oh my god” constantly and quickly, he was so emotionally torn at what just happened.
“Wade.”
“Where’s that voice coming from??!!”
“Wade! Wade!”
“Stop yelling at me!!!”
“Wade, dear, wake up!”
“Roy, are you bac—“
Roy kept shaking Wade, in a back and forth motion, until he woke up, on their bed.
“I’m sorry for what I did, Roy! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Forgive me, rooster! Please! Please!”
“Duck, snap out of it!”
Wade started shaking in fear Roy was gonna perform something abysmal on him. Roy realized he was gonna have to a lot of calming down on him.
“Wade. Calm down, duc—“
“Roy! How can I calm down?! You’re gonna kill me or some shit!”
“Wade, that was just a dream.”
“S-so you’re not gonna kill me? Or Orson won’t kill you? And you won’t restrain me or anything cause that was about to happen!”
“No, Wade! None of this is happening because it was just a nightmare!” Roy yelled.
Wade started sobbing and hyperventilating more.
“Oh my God, I’m so sorry for yelling at you, what was I doing?”
Wade wasn’t paying attention to Roy’s words, he was still too focused on what was said to him in the dream.
Roy had shortly realized initially trying to verbally talk to Wade wasn’t gonna work, forcing the rooster to go to his last resort.
He pulled the shaking duck towards him and began to give him kisses all across his face and cheek.
As always, it worked. His crying would slowly come to a close.
Roy grabbed out his arms and hugged the duck.
“I’m so sorry you had to go through that, dear. You’re safe in my hands, I promise.”
“I-I just feel scared something’s gonna happen to you and you’ll actually do what you were doing in your dream…”
“Dear. I got an idea. It’s what I use to do when I felt stressed out when I was younger.”
“Okay then….”
“Okay. Touch something that makes you very… well, comfortable.”
Wade started to slide his hand up and down on Roy’s arm, he loved the feeling of cuddling up and touching and sliding his hands on the rooster’s feathers.
“Okay. Good. Think of something that makes you happy.”
“You.”
“Why, why do I make you happy?”
“Because you’re presence is automatic joy and it’s just such a sensation seeing you all the time.”
“Okay. Good. What is your prized possession? Or something you couldn’t live without?”
“You.”
“Why is it I that you couldn’t live without?”
“Because without you… I don’t know where I would be. I feel like I might be dead. You’re my emotional support if that makes sense.”
“Okay. Good. What is something that makes you safe?”
“You.”
“Why am I the one who makes you safe?”
“Because if I have a panic attack like the one I just had, you would be there to calm me down like what you have been doing this whole time.”
“Okay. Is there anything or anyone else you feel the same towards?”
“Well… Plato calms me down too when you’re not available sometimes, and the both of you have calmed me down sometimes and it gives me a very safe and happy feeling. Roosters like you definitely make people feel safe, even if most won’t realize that.”
“I see.”
“I’m just sorry I started to freak out and have a panic attack.”
“No, Wade. It’s okay. That’s why we did this. For you to make you calm. You just did what’s called grounding.”
“Well.. it’s very effective as it revealed how much I love you. I never can show my entire love for me cause it’s so strong. You are the whole world to me.”
“Roy, could you do me a favor?”
“Yes.”
“Close your eyes.”
He did as followed.
“What do you see, Roy?”
“I see darkness. Nothing.”
“That’s me if you weren’t in my life.”
Roy started to sniffle, tears coming out of his eyes.
“That’s how much you are to me.”
Roy started to hug the duck, he didn’t realize how much he was loved, especially by Wade.
Wade kissed Roy on the cheek, placing his index finger on his beak.
“Shh, it’s okay, honey. You’re safe in my hands, I promise.”
The two didn’t really expect to be comforting each other, but here they were, doing such thing.
“Wanna snuggle, duck?”
Wade nodded.
The duck went up and laid on Roy’s side.
“Just promise me that you won’t let go, Roy.”
“I won’t. Ever.”
