Chapter Text
Ashswag has a...
drinking problem, to say the least.
It all started when Squiddo started dating Ashswag.
It was a pretty normal night, when Ash decided to call Squiddo.
Reluctantly, she answered.
She knew something was wrong.
The way he voiced messaged her about needing to call was... off.
The way he spoke was...
Oh.
He was drunk.
Now, she knew that Ash drank, but not so much that she was picking him up every other night??
It started to get annoying when he started to call her in the middle of the night but...
Ash was her boyfriend.
She couldn't leave him because of this.
"Squiddoooo......"
"..."
"Can yoUu pick me uhpppp..."
His voice was sloppy, obviously from drinking.
She was about to respond when-
"Ashswag... Give me your phone."
Huh? Who was that...?
"Uhm... Hello? This is uh, Ashswag's friend Tubbo."
Ohhh... Tubbo.
It had been a long time since she had even thought about the people in that experiment, which was absurd if you thought about it hard enough.
But she didn't have time to think about that.
Not when her boyfriend was out there, drunk, VULNERABLE.
"Uhm... Hello? Can you... Hear me?"
Tubbo's voice shot through the speaker.
"Oh! Sorry, was zoneing out. What did you say?"
"Well, uhm... Do you want me to drop him off or are you coming to pick Ash up?"
"Drop him off at our place. I can... Deal with his state later."
"HeyyYyy can I get anotHer shot..."
"Ashswag, I'm gonna drop you off at Squiddo's place ok? Tubbo-drive Ashswag-to Squiddo house- ok?"
"mmMmm SquidOoo...? l wove her sooo much..."
"Ok... I'll get to your place soon ok? I'm pretty sure Ash has your house somewhere... Ah hah! Ok, see you later?'
"Later."
As Squiddo flopped onto her bed, she thought to herself, why didn't she talk to him about this?
He was wasting himself almost every day, and Squiddo was starting to get worried.
Wait.
Her back.
As she groaned, she knew was about to happen.
She was
growing
her wings.
It was a normal occurrence for other angel hybrids, growing their wings in their teenage years.
She had been preparing for this for a few weeks, to say the least.
Ash noticed her behavior, when he was sober.
He was always asking if she was ok, if she needed anything...
That was the reason she was dating him.
