Work Text:
Candles surround the dark desk. Most of them have already burnt out but one still lives, giving enough light for the broken man working on forms and meaningless papers.
Someone was supposed to join him earlier that night for a date Alex had set, that explains all the candles. He had it all planned, he was so excited to see the smile on Wilbur’s face when he walked it..but i guess he was too busy to meet his lover. Alex even wore Wilburs favorite sweater he liked on quackity. It was a dark blue and had tiny stars at the top, it looked big on alex but that's what made it look so good.
Black eyeliner is messy and stained tears are stuck on his cheeks
His hair is messy and all over the place, he doesn't care what it looks like, no one will see him even if he tries to fix it
He kept music on, to distract him, to not think about it too much.
The music is jazzy, calm sounding
Its crazy what music can do to someone's emotions
It makes him so calm. It makes him where his head is empty. Doesn't make him think about them.
Alex's body jumps when 2 soft knocks come from his door
His mind races
What if it's them??
No I can't be
It's not. It's not.
Just breathe. Alex breathe.
It's not them, please don't be them.
I don't want to see them please-
“Q… love?” Wilbur says softly from outside the door
Oh god, it's Wilbur. Quackity panics, fuck!
Alex quickly drops his pen on the desk and whips his face where his skin burns, so he could appear like he wasn't crying for an hour. Once he looks himself in the mirror and trying to fix his hair he walked up to the door
He took a deep breath in before opening the door
Wilbur looked amazing. His hair was brushed and he was wearing a nice dress shirt. In his hand he held flowers he always thought quackity liked ever since lmanburg.
When he looked up at his face, all he saw was a worried look and sadness in his eyes
Alex walked closer, stuffing his face into the man's chest
“Where the fuck were you” alex muffled into his shirt. His voice sounds scratchy
A cold hand wraps around his lower back, the other on plays with the long black hair
The other man's eyes scan the room, seeing how it was decorated.
He felt his stomach drop
“I'm so sorry darling. I...I didn't know you..i'm sorry. I was nervous that I would mess something up during our date and I got distracted with shit.” his eyes go back onto quackity, who is still hugging him, not looking up. Alex's wings fluff up when he feels warm lips touch the top of his head, making his face heat up.
Alex pulls his face awake from wilbur. He holds back his tears
“I was waiting for you. For so long Wilbur!” he takes a step back
“I waited hours for you to come here so we can have a wonderful time but you didn't come! I had everything set up, I never once left this room until you came here just in case you were going to come here. I changed my whole sheludal to make this happen you didnt come here until..hmm lets see what time it is-” he looks down at his watch “- Its fucking 11pm WILBUR!” he shouts
He didn't even noticed the warm tears spilling from out his eyes
“You were supposed to be here at 5..god damn it” the last words were said in a whisper while he lifts his sleeve up to his eye
There was no noise in the room. Everything was shaking in Wilburs mind, his heart was racing.
He didn't mean for this to happen. He spent all day looking for the right gift for Alex he didn't realize the time..
"Leave." Alex says in soft tone
Wilbur tries to reach out his hand but it gets slapped away "Darling, please-"
"Will just leave. I need to be alone."
Wilbur backed away slowly "I..I understand um-" he looks at the small table by the door "- I'll just put these here, they are your favorite" he puts them down and smiles but quickly looks down
"See you soon.."
The door closes with a soft click.
Quackity picks up the blue flowers, looking at them closely.
When he puts them up to his noise they smell amazing. They smell so fresh and full of life,
it makes his tail twitch a tiny bit
The last candle burnt out, turning the room into darkness
Most people don't mind the dark, only kids are scared of what's hiding but quackity
Quackity used to be okay with the dark but ever since wilbur left he felt it consume him.
Hearing loud shouting.
Everything is too loud and it makes him fall to the ground shaking.
He doesn't know what to do
He needs wilbur back
or he'll lost another person he loves.
God he fucked up again
