Wilbur pov:
"Wilbur?! What are you- are you okay?!"
It was quackity. he was holding a grocery bag. I quickly look up and away. I don't want to face him. I know I probably look like a mess but, I just need him out of here.
Go away Quackity.
"No. Not happening."
I was genuinely surprised by his response.
What? Just leave.
Quackity then sat next to me on the bench.
"Listen Wilbur, I don't know- I don't care. I don't care why you're ignoring me right now but I just want to make sure you're okay. You've got two options, you can tell me what's going on or we can sit in silence. But no matter what, you have to deal with me so I'd recommend the first option."
Why do you care so much? I've been absolutely shit to you and you don't seem even a bit bothered.
"I'm not bothered, I'm confused. I'm concerned about you. Why are you ignoring me?"
Because you're dating Sally?! My ex?!
Shit, I didn't mean to say that. I just blurted it out. Oh god, what's Q gonna say? What's he gonna think?! My thoughts are cut off by Quackity, laughing..? Giggling. Hysterically.
In between laughs he manages to get out a few words.
".....you.....wha....why would I ever.........HA! What?!"
W-what..?
Eventually Quackity's laughing is slowing down and he starts breathing regularly again.
"Wait... you, used to date Sally Salmon? Wait- holy shit you were- oh god I'm so sorry for laughing."
Suddenly his face turned a bit more serious. Does he know what Sally did? Did she tell him?!
What? Why are you sorry?!
"Cause she fucking hurt you man, she told me what happened I just- didn't notice it was you."
What was me..? I mean she cheated yeah, but you make it sound like something bigger.
"I don't think that's my place to say, maybe just listen to her? I know she wants to say sorry, and tell you the truth. By the way, what was that about me dating sally? Are there rumours?! I swear to god I will drop kick whoever started them I-"
No, there's not rumours. So you're definitely not seeing her right?
"Wilbur, there is no chance of us dating. Like- at all."
Have you told her that? I think she likes you.
"I- holy shit. Fuck, I never..." the shorter trailed off, putting his hands on his eyes and sinking back into the bench.
Never what?
"I never told her that, I don't really, 'like girls' like that, I'm not straight..."
Really? Wow, wasn't expecting that.
"Oh don't sound so surprised ass hat."
I laughed a bit at that.
Well, I mean, I never really thought about it! And I didn't want to assume or anything so I- never mind.
That's a lie, I did think about it once... or twice. I start to tear up again.
Quackity, I'm so sorry.
"for what?"
Ignoring you! I thought you and sally were- I'm so sorry.
"Hey, hey! Wilbur I'm not mad, I get it, you're hurt by her, you don't want to talk to her. But, I feel like you should, the real story's a lot different than you know, it's not my place to say but, just try to understand her side? Maybe..?"
Fine, I'll trust your word.
"Smart move Wilby."
Wilby... I forgot about that, it makes me laugh. It's so stupid.
"Hey man! Why are you laughing at me now?!"
Sorry, sorry, I just forgot about that's stupid nickname.
A light pink went across Quackity's face. It made me laugh more. My laughing soon changes to snickering, as Q laughs with me. Eventually we stop, there's a moment of silence, but when I look over to him he's just staring at me. Lost in thought. I stare back, and there's a really intense moment of tension.
we've both inched forward slightly, we were sat close together already but both are sides are touching while we make eye contact now. I can tell my face is a bright red, but his is too. We're both pretty flustered at the moment.
While staring at him I notice his features all over again.
His dark eyes, one ever so slightly lighter than the other, I'm assuming from his scar. I wonder where he got it from..? He's got a few little freckles dotted around his face too. And his hair, it looks so soft. My eyes keep darting from his eyes to his lips. I need to stop. I can't do this. I shouldn't-
"Wilbur! Come on! We need to go home!" Techno yelled out, Snapping me out of my trance. he was standing near the where the ice cream truck parks.
O-oh uhm... yeah I'm coming hold on! Sorry Quackity, I've got to go. Bye.
"I- Bye..? Wait! We're still friends right? You're not gonna ignore me?"
No big Q, I'm not going to ignore you ever again.
Quackity smiled at that.
I quickly stand up and jog over to Techno, who's already started walking back home. How he knew he would find me here, I'll never know. It's not even worth asking at this point. Thank prime that Quackity and I weren't actually that close together. Techno never would've let that go.
The pinkette cleared his throat,
"Sooooo you and Big Q huh."
What?!
"What?"
What???
"Nuthin."
Techno what the hell?!
"Hmm..? What did I say?"
TechnoBlade! I'm not dating Quackity!
"Hmmm... yet."
TECHNO!
He started laughing loudly. This was amusing to him.
"I'm just saying, maybe consider it a bit more!"
Fuck you man!
"Hmmmm, love you two Wilbur."
I scoffed at that, looking away as he continued to laugh for the whole walk back home.
