tw//stupid idiots almost dying

Quackity sat next to karl at the island, flipping through the magazines karl laid out. "Quackity, do you think I'm clingy?" Karl spoke softly, and quackity raised an eyebrow, still turning the pages of the wedding catalogs. 

"That was very random to say the least.. No I don't think you're clingy. Why do you ask?" karl turned the ring on his finger, 

"I mean, I cant stop thinking about sapnap, its so stupid. His mom is dying and I cant stop thinking about him for a minute. I just feel so selfish." He pointed at a dress, "that would be good as well." quackity nodded in agreement, "well I guess its ok you're so upset. I most likely would be too if my fiancé left so abruptly. Don't beat yourself up on it, just try to relax, these are the last days you're gonna be single. Don't be such a downer." 

He nudged karls shoulder, and karl smiled. "Yeah, you're right. Wanna make a cake?" Quackity shrugged, "sure." Karl pointed to the pantry, "you get out the tools, bowls, measuring cups, whisks, and spatulas from there, and I'll get out the ingredients." Quackity hopped out of his chair and reached at the tall cabinet. 

"Wow. I can't reach- whatever." he sighed, climbing on the counter which made karl snort. "What's it like being a midget? I wouldn't know?" quackity glared, tossing a measuring cup at him. "You know, sapnap isn't here currently. There's no one to protect you!" Karl held up the measuring cup like a sword, and walked closer. "En guard!" karl pretended to jab the cup at quackity, and quackity held up the hand mixer and started walking closer. "You don't want to do this karl. I'll whisk you like a fucking egg!" Quackity laughed and karl covered his mouth, giggling. 

"Ok we need to actually bake, let me get some more ingredients from the garage." Karl went into the garage and brought back eggs and milk. "Ok everything is set- quackity what did you do." quackity was standing there, a bit too calmly. "Oh nothing, just waiting. Come on lets bake!!" Karl thought nothing of it as they poured in ingredients. 

"Hold on, did they say 2 cups of flour or 3?" Karl asked, and quackity shrugged, "I thought 5.. Welp, just dump 3 in and see what happens!" 

"I don't know- qUACKITY!" quackity had poured in a ton of flour while karl was rambling, setting himself into a fit of laughter. "Don't worry I measured it mentally, that's enough." Karl was covered in flour, and started chasing quackity around. 

"You're like a stupid garden gnome. Get back here and help!!" Quackity wiped a tear away of laughter, and measured out what he thought was 2 cups of sugar. "Oh my god, quackity that's salt..'' Karl whispered almost fearfully, then burst into laughing. 

"This cake is going to taste horrible oh my'' Quackity stood there, regretting his life as Karl continued on. 

"Alright now we mix for 3 minutes." They turned on the stand mixer and started playing rock paper scissors. Things were getting really heated, yelling at each other for what they concidered cheating and such, when they remembered the cake. They looked at the batter, which was completley overmixed. It was too bubbly. 

"Well, it's already destroyed." quackity said, giggling. He sprayed the pan with non-stick, and poured the batter in, making chunks of flour flop out. "Wow.. delicious!" karl joked, seeing the disgusting state of the cake. 

"Alright lets put her in!!" Karl said, opening the oven. Quackity was dancing while putting the cake in, and accidently hit his hand on the top of the oven. He hissed in pain, pulling his hand away. Karl acted fast, quickly keeping the cake from falling by pushing it onto the rack and shutting the oven. Karl shifted his focus from the cake to the pain stricken quackity. 

"hey are you ok?" karl softly spoke as quackity ran his hand under cold water. "Yeah it just burns." quackity tried taking deep breaths, and karl hugged him. "Be careful next time nimrod.." he teased, and quackity gently smiled. Karl still held the smaller one gently, as a comfort. "It feels a bit better," he happily spoke, and karl took his hand, looking at the burn. 

"Ooh, that looks painful. Here, let me get a Band-Aid!" karl ran to the cubbord and grabbed out a creeper Band-Aid. He slid back over to quackity who was laughing, "karl I don't need a band aid-" but karl still stuck it on. Karl jokingly kissed the Band-Aid but it made quackity turn rosy in the cheeks as he wasn't used to affection. 

"Geez you weirdo, wanna play a movie? Since thats what you invited me over for." Karl nodded, and grabbed a remote. He scrolled through the options as quackity lay back on the couch. "What do you think about 'Life is Beautiful'? Its about world war 2." karl suggested and quackity shrugged, "sure." 

karl pressed play and scooted back to where he and quackity were lying close to eachother. "Wanna cuddle?" karl asked as the movie started and quackity laughed, then looked up at the other who's face was serious. "Wait actually?" karl raised an eyebrow, "do you not cuddle with the boys, thats so sad. Here, I'll be big spoon." Karl scooched back into the couch and quackity hesitated. "Dude I'm not so-" 

"come on, its comfy I swear." Karl pleaded, leading Quackity to sigh. He couldn't see any harm in trying. He sat in front of karl, then layed down. Karl pulled him closer to where they were spooning comfortably. Karl was tall enough he could see the movie over quackity, comfortably. 

"I read somewhere this movie is super sad, so if i start sobbing, don't you dare look at me." karl threatened, making quackity snort with laughter. "Fine with me, I don't want to see you anyways." He taunted, receiving a gentle punch from karl. As they got halfway through the movie quackity started to sniff. 

"Are you doing drugs? During a movie??" Karl joked, and quackity shook his head. "Nah I left them at home, I just smell something." Karl sniffed as well, making a bitter face. "Oh my god the cake-" Quackity sprung out of the couch and they ran into the kitchen, seeing the oven literally on fire. 

"WHAT THE FUCK" Quackity screamed, opening the oven as karl ran to grab a fire extinguisher. Quackity choked on the smoke as the fire detectors started going off. Karl ran back with the heavy object, "What do I do with this?" He panicked and quackity just coughed loudly. 

"All the instructions are in Dutch- I dONT SPEAK DUTCH!" Karl screamed, and ran to grab his phone. He dialed sapnap, waiting for him to pickup. 

"Hello angel-" 

"SAPNAP HOW DO YOU USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER" Karl screamed into the phone. 

"A WHAT? Oh my gosh you just stand a few feet back and spray the fire until its out, what the fuck is happening?" sapnap yelled, but Karl hung up and ran to the fire. He sprayed the extinguisher all over the flames, completely ingulfing them. The smoke still lingered in the air and quackity was wheezing and coughing. Karl opened some doors and windows, and then brought quackity outside. 

"Sorry- I have asthma and I breathed tons of that shit in.." Karl just patted his back as quackity coughed, wheezing in the fresh air. Slowly the smoke started to calm down, and the fire detectors stopped beeping their shrill noise. Karl stood up from the grass, and walked inside. It smelled of smoke and burnt cake, a horrible smell. Quackity followed him, staring at the white foam and ashy oven. 

"So.. want to try that cake?"
