Chapter Text
a loud, screeching violent crash comes from upstairs and it makes quackity jump so violently he falls onto the floor.
“ FUCK. OW. “ he yelled once he was down on the floor.
quackity got up, rubbing his arm and praying it wouldn’t bruise. he quickly rushed upstairs to check on his roommate; wilbur.
quackity has known wilbur for a few years now. he uses many words to describe the woman he lives with. chaotic, loud but at the same time quiet, annoying, rude, self-centered yet passionate, loving, talented, and gorgeous.
‘ what? ’ quackity thought to himself.
did he just call his roommate gorgeous? no. well- yes. logically speaking she was pretty. i mean anyone would say that, she is good-looking. but he discovered long ago he wasn’t into girls. ..right? wait. now was definitely not the time for another sexuality crisis. his roommate could be in danger.
quackity ran up the stairs and practically kicked the door to wilbur’s room down. wilbur was sat on the floor scribbling away in a notebook, with earbuds in her ears. she was probably writing more songs, she’d share some music she’s made with quackity in the past. she had such a lovely voice when it came to singing and when she was just talking.
“ wilbur what the fuck? “ quackity looked at wilbur, confused as hell.
it took wilbur a second, but she looked at quackity. taking an earbud out of her ear, she looked at him equally confused.
“ quackity? why are you in my room? “ wilbur responded, slightly tilting her head.
“ because i heard something crash up here?? the fuck did you do? “ he responded to her question.
“ uhm.. nothing crashed or fell? i didn’t hear anything. maybe it was next door? “ wilbur shrugged.
she stood up and put her journal away. then wilbur sat down on her bed, still looking at quackity. he sighed and beside her.
“ now what? “ wilbur asked quackity.
“ what? “ he looked at her, his eyebrows furrowed.
“ you practically kick down my door, you come in claiming you heard something crash, and now you sit here sighing. not to mention you’ve been acting strange for the past few weeks. what’s up? “ wilbur gave quackity a small, concerned, smile.
goddamn that smile. whenever wilbur smiled, it always made quackity’s chest tighten. and his face would turn a little pink.
“ nothing, just work. it’s been tough lately. “ he came up with some excuse, hoping wilbur would just drop and they could move on.
if only life could be that simple.
“ mm, no. i know you’re lying. but i wanna know why you’re lying. “ wilbur replied, chuckling a little.
quackity internally swore. he didn’t just wanna drop his feelings onto wilbur. she probably didn’t like him like that. he had to come up with something that would allow him fo vent, but not give away his maybe feelings for her.
“ okay fine. there’s just this girl i know that— “ quackity began to speak, but wilbur cut him off.
“ you know a girl? that isn’t me? truly shocking. “ wilbur giggled. “ sorry, sorry. continue please. “
quackity playfully rolled his eyes but he continued. “ yes. and she- well, she’s very pretty.. like stupid pretty. and she has a really good voice. when she smiles it makes my chest tighten. i just- fuck man, i wanna kiss her sometimes when i see her. “ quackity sighed, it felt like he’d lifted a weight off his chest.
wilbur blinked in surprise, but nonetheless she nodded. “ so.. you really like her, then what’s the problem? is she taken or something? “
“ no, she’s not. but she’s too good for me. she is so out of my league. “ quackity scratched the small patch of facial hair growing on his chin. then he felt wilbur’s hand on his cheek.
“ that’s not true. quackity, you gotta value yourself too. sure, she’s probably the prettiest you’ve ever seen but so are you! you’re equally as attractive as she is. don’t doubt yourself; we’re still young! the worst she could say is no, and even if she does reject you, so what? it will probably sting, and hurt.. but at least you gave it a shot. “ wilbur brushed quackity’s cheek, then she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. which would probably stain his cheek with whatever lip gloss or lipstick she was wearing, but quackity’s face went red.
it took quackity a second but he managed to clear his throat, which made wilbur raise an eyebrow.
“ uh- thank you. for that pep talk.. i just wish i could ask you something but now isn’t the time. “ quackity looked away, holding his neck with his hand.
“ what do you mean? you can ask me. i don’t have much planned for today anyway. “ wilbur smiled at quackity.
quackity took a deep breath and looked at wilbur, making direct eye contact with her. he couldn’t stop the words that left his mouth.
“ wilbur, i love you. “ quackity said far too quickly and before he could change his mind he already said it.
wilbur’s eyes widened, and her mouth opened just the slightest bit to say something.
