Castles in the Sky...Quackity x Reader

Prologue

It was winter, December 1st to be exact. Y/N was folding her laundry, it was fresh from the dryer, and it was warm and comforting, the smell of the clothes, the warm feeling on her numb fingertips, felt so soothing considering the people who own the apartment building never seem to fix the heaters, it was always so cold in the building. Especially her apartment it seemed.

"God damn why can't they just fix the heater..?" Y/N mutters to herself folding more clothes "I'm practically going numb here..!"

She decided to make a cup of tea to warm up, so she sets the clothes down and walks to the kitchen, the tiles were cold under her feet. Great, cold floors. She would put on some socks later, but hell, even then the cold would bite at her feet through the socks.

She grabs her favorite mug and her tea kettle. She turns the faucet knob to get some water in her kettle, but all she heard was a creek in the pipes. She was confused, did the pipes freeze?
Her phone started ringing, she sighs and sets her kettle and mug aside, getting her phone from her pocket.

It was the water company

"Hello?" Y/N was confused about why the water company would call her on a weekend, aren't they closed today?

"Yes is this Ms .L/N? We're calling regarding your unpaid bill."

"Unpaid bill? But I didn't even get the statement...!"

"Perhaps it was lost in the mail, but until you pay your bill, your water has been shut off, you can also pay online."

Great, that's why the water wasn't working

"I'll just uh.." she sighs "I'll find the statement somehow, thanks for calling me" she hung up the phone and facepalms

Great, no water, and paying online would be too complicated, the people who own the apartment also got the shittiest WiFi plan. She sits on the cold tile floor and thinks about where the bill could've been lost. Maybe the post office? Or her neighbors?

Alex was laying in bed, cold and bored, he checked the time, and figured he would get the mail. He hasn't checked the mail in days, god it was so cold in his apartment that it was almost depressing. He's been in bed basically all week, only getting up to eat and shower.

Nothing too special probably, the newspaper, or some ads, but the last thing he expected was some bills, he already paid those on his laptop

"I already paid my stupid bi-" he stops when he saw the name on all the letters

Y/N L/N
Y/N L/N
Y/N L/N
Y/N L/N

Y/N L/N

There were tons of bills for her
Water bills
Electric bill
Credit card statements
Car insurance papers

"Must've gotten the wrong apartment.." he mumbles looking at the address

301, that's the apartment above his. He figured he'd be a good guy and give the girl her mail
He walks the stairs and finds 301, he just simply leaves it in her mailbox by her door.
He thought that would be the last time he ever heard of Y/N, but he was very very wrong...
