<Time skip, Quackity's house>
I opened up the front door, sliding my shoes off and walking to the kitchen island where my mom stood. "Took you long enough," she smiled, "so... what's you do with that Wilbur guy? Go out for food or..?"
I quickly replied with;
Yep! Food, and uh, coffee... that's- that's what we planned-!
She glared at me and raised an eyebrow, about to say something before getting cut off by the doorbell ringing. "Saved by the bell," she whispered as she walked past me, getting the delivery food from the door. "Dinners ready!"
Isn't it a bit early for... whatever that is?
"Chinese food, I haven't had it in a while... or- at least a week. I eat a lot of takeout for lunch at work," she answered, before sighing loudly. "They got the order wrong! I'm allergic to half the stuff in here..." she scowled, "I'm so dumb, they always get the order wrong! Why do I even try..? Alright! Never mind this, I'll just make something for dinner instead! Haven't made anything homemade for a while... but I'm sure it's fine!"
I can make something, my friend taught me how to make a really good pasta recipe. I'm sure we still have most of the ingredients...
"Oh? The same friend from earlier?"
Mhm... yep, same friend... alright, why don't you, uh, watch something on the tv or something... I'll make dinner.
She smirked a bit before grabbing her phone and heading into the living room, mumbling something about getting a refund while she walked.
Ignoring her remarks, I pull out all of the extra ingredients from the last time Wilbur brought me to the store. Quickly boiling water on the stove and tossing the uncooked noodles in, and chopping the vegetables on the cutting board. I tried remembering how Wil explained to cut them without slicing yourself at the same time, but it was clear he had way more practice cooking than me. I still had to grab a bandaid from the cabinet, one less than last time though!
After around thirty minutes of constant back and forth between the stove top and the counter, I grab the plates and started dishing them out. My mom came in after a minute, "wow, that actually looks really good. Tell that friend of yours to teach you some more recipes," she laughed.
Yeah, yeah, tease me all you want.
"Okay, but in all seriousness that smells really good."
I hummed in response as she grabbed cutlery and took a seat beside me at the counter. The food was hot, but tasted good anyways. Though not as good as when Wilbur made it, he said he practiced for a week though, so that makes sense. Jeez, now that I'm thinking about he plans ahead a lot. Does he do this with everything? Or just stuff to do with me..?
<time skip a few hours>
I walked up the staircase shouting a 'goodnight' as the sounds of the TV downstairs faded. Flopping onto my bed after changing into something more comfortable, I stare at my phone screen. Scrolling through whatever app I clicked on first, a notification caught my eye. 'One message from: WILLIAM'
——————
WILLIAM:
Hey, are you up?
You:
No.
What's up?
WILLIAM:
Soooo
I still have one thing I want to ask
You:
Shoot.
WILLIAM:
Okay so,
What do think of...
.....................
You:
Wilburr
Spit it out!!
God you're annoying
WILLIAM:
You love it.
You:
I hate you.
WILLIAM:
Do you really hate me?
You:
Yes.
WILLIAM:
GASP.
How dare you damage my ego?
Heathen.
You:
Yeah, yeah, I get it!
I'm barbaric, I know.
Now ask the damn question!!
WILLIAM:
Okayy
Fine.
What do you think of the name...
Boyfriend?
Read.
——————
He doesn't- he doesn't mean that, right?
<a week earlier>
"So... Quackity, can I ask you just one more thing about Wilbur?" Karl asked as he took a sip from his energy drink, almost spilling it as Charlie laughed.
Ughh... fine, go ahead.
"Yay! Okay, it's simple, really. I know you keep saying that you don't want to ruin your friendship with him, but what if- what if he liked you back? What would you do then? Would you friend zone him or try out a relationship for the first time in... god knows how long."
Hey! It hasn't been that long! I dated that one guy... well, I can't remember his name but- you get the point!
"His name was Cellbit and he was a transfer student for like a month! And besides, I'm pretty sure in the week you two dated he cheated on you. Anyways... back to the question!"
Well... I guess I could date Wil if he liked me as well, but I'm pretty sure he's not into me like that. And- I don't know, I'd still be kind of scared. What if we broke up? We probably wouldn't be friends after that, right? Wait- no, enough 'what if's,' it's not happening and thats final.
"Mhm, you say that now..." Slime piped up.
Charlie!
Karl pov:
Quackity started yelling at Slime, though it didn't have much effect as he just kept laughing.
I know for a fact that Wilbur has at least some feelings toward Big Q. It's not a doubt, Q's just in denial.
As the two are arguing I pull out my phone, opening the number I stole from Quackity's phone the night we had a sleepover. Wilbur's number, to be exact.
Unlocking the screen, I start to type.
——————
You:
WILBUR
Quackity simp:
Karl?
Oh hey, what's up?
You:
I know you have gay little emotions for Quackity.
I'm here to help.
Quackity simp:
???????
That's a weird way of putting it.
But yeah, I guess...
He's not reading this, right?
You:
Nah he's busy yelling at Charlie right now
Quackity simp:
Right...
Sooo anything else?
Or did you just text me to confront me and then not talk?
You:
Okay, so,
Ask Q to be ur boyfriend.
Quackity simp:
I-
?????????????
I can't just do that, Karl!!
That's not how it works!
You:
Fine!
But if you want to get anywhere you kinda have to do something.
K gotta go now
Seeya
Quackity simp:
Wait-
Karl!
How would I do that??
Read.
——————
I smile as I shut my phone screen off, turning silent mode on and promptly ghosting Wilbur. Let's hope he's got this under control, cause if he breaks that boys heart I swear I will punt him into a-!
"Karl? Who 'ya texting?"
Oh, just- uh, SapNap. He asked me out a few days ago and just wanted to check in.
"WHAT?! And you just weren't going to tell us?!" Charlie screeched.
Chill out Charlie! It's- it's nothing much! We're just hanging out at the cafe for a while, not some fancy date or anything. I don't even know if it is a date! We could just be hanging out, so I didn't tell you guys.
"Suuuure" Quackity squinted at me, so I flicked him in the forehead as he blue screened. "...Wait- hey! You can't just do that, Karl!"
Really? But I just did? Hmm, strange.
Q glared and flipped me off before laughing a bit and continuing our walk.
