Past Abuse
Panic attacks

It's been five weeks since Quackity joined Karl and Sapnaps relationship, and he couldn't be happier. He was only just learning about healthy, non-abusive relationships. His past relation ship was filled with pain and tears, and he still had some 'habits', you could say.

Tonight Quackity had stayed up late editing a video. As he walked over to the bedroom, he saw Sapnap and Karl sleeping peacefully whilst cuddling. Sapnap and Karl were the same height(I know they aren't actually but this is fanfic so-) so they usually switched off on who was big spoon. Sapnap was this time, and he was subconsciously rubbing circles on Karl's back.

They look so peaceful, Quackity thought to himself. He walked out of the room, silently closing the door behind him. Quackity opened the fridge and saw a multitude of monster energy drinks and a whole bunch of food items. We never had this much food at Schlatts... he was going to grab a monster, but recalled what happened when he decided to take something from Schlatts fridge that one time.

They may have been married, but Schlatt sure didn't act like it. He liked to push Quackity around, telling him what to do and when. He put the monster back and walked over to the couch, laying himself down and looking up at the roof.

He was fighting with himself on whether or not he should join his boyfriends in bed. It's not that he wasn't allowed to, or that he hadn't before. He just didn't want to relive old memories. Ones of Schlatt yelling at Quackity for taking a water out of the fridge. Being kicked out for forgetting to clean the house, only to be brought back 3 days later. Being beat for joining his husband in bed.

He knew that Sapnap and Karl would never do things like that, he knew they were kind and sweet. But he was still scared. So he decided to sleep on the couch.

3 hours later, Quackity was in a cold sweat, sitting awake on the couch. It was 4:30 am and he had just woken up from a nightmare. Seems like past memories hit harder than he though. All he could hear was Schlatts laughter, surrounding him, telling him everything he didn't want to hear. It was deafening.

Karl walked out of the room, rubbing his eyes. He was awoken by loud breathing and was shocked to see that Quackity wasn't in bed as well. Karl opened his eyes fully and saw Quackity, tears streaming down his face, trying to breath slowly. He ran up to him and immediately began whispering sweet nothings into his ear, hoping it would help.

Sapnap woke up too. He walked out and sat down on the other ide of Quackity, moving him to rest against his chest. Quackity flinches at the touch, but quickly realized who it was and let it happen. After about 10 minutes of trying to calm down Quackity, his breathing steadied and he uncovered his ears, which were red from being pressed down on for so long.

"You wanna talk about it, baby?" Sapnap said softly. Quackity just shook his head.

"How come you didn't come to bed, Q?" Karl asked. He was genuinely worried, this had never happened before. The only reason they knew how to help was because Karl's anxiety used to spike after he drank too much monster.

"Well.. I just- it's-" Quackity stammered over his words, unable to form a complete sentence. He may have calmed down, but he was still shake-y. Karl slowly reached his hand out and set it behind Quacktys head.

"It's fine, we don't have to talk about it. Just know that the bed always has room for you, we never want you sleep on the couch again." Karl said.

"We care about you so much, we can't have our boyfriend sleeping on the couch!" Sapnap said with a chuckle. Quackity gave a slight smile before laughing, causing the others to laugh too. It had been a while since Quackity had gave a real, passionate laugh, so they were relieved to hear the sweet laughs fill the air.

"I love you guys." Quackity said through the laughs.

"Love you too, Q..."
