Restart |Karlnapity| (On Hiatus)

3. Conversation

Quackity woke up, looking over at the clock like he had the night before. 4:41 PM. Did he really sleep that long? Why did I sleep that long.. He pondered, clearly forgetting about what happened last night. He thought for a few minutes, before remembering. "Oh, right.." He sat up slightly, did he have to get up today? He really didn't feel like it, even less so than he did yesterday. Maybe it was because he thought he'd get in the way of Sapnaps relationship, or maybe because he was being haunted by memories of Schlatt. Probably both.

He felt exhausted due to oversleeping, he had went to bed at 10, and here he is waking up at almost 5. Though, he forced himself to get up either way. Because he knew he shouldn't sleep more than he already has, it wont have a good effect on him. He begrudgingly stepped out of his room, being greeted by only Dream today. "Where's George?.." he asked as he sat down, barely awake. "Oh, he's at Bads place. He figured we haven't visited in a while, so he decided to go." Quackity nodded, not realizing at first that Dream slid a plate of bacon and toast in front of him. 

"oh.. thanks?.. but I'm not-" "Don't give me that crap. You haven't eaten in 3 days, Alex. Eat." Dream glared at Quackity, he gulped, nodding before picking up a piece of bacon and biting it slowly. Dream sighed. "I'm not trying to threaten you or anything, Quackity. I just don't want to see you starve to death even though we have plenty of food right here." Dream slowly walked into the living room, sitting on the couch and turning the tv on to a random channel. "You're not going to tell George and Sapnap, right?..." Dream looked over at him. "I don't know, if you keep starving yourself I fucking might."

Quackity frowned, but knew that Dream was right deep down. He really needed to eat more, or he'd end up as a corpse. He didn't want to do that to his friends, he can't imagine what it'd feel like if they lost him. He slowly ate the bacon and toast on his plate, at least Dream didn't give him that big of an amount, that helped a bit. As he finished, he looked over at Dream, who was still watching the tv. He slowly got up, walking over and sitting next to him. "I'm sorry, Clay.." He muttered, looking away nervously.

Dream stopped for a few seconds, before sighing and turning off the tv. He turned to face Quackity. "..It's not your fault, I'm sorry for getting mad about it, but you need to eat." Quackity nodded, thinking it was the end of the conversation. "Also.." Dream began, Quackity looked at the other questioningly. "I'm.. Sorry, about.. About- Ugh, I'm sure you already know." Dream turned away, his head flopping backwards. Quackity knew what Dream was talking about, neither of them really liked talking about it, but George and Sapnap always brought it up occasionally.

"It's fine, like you said last night, you didn't know I was even related to Schlatt at the time. I know you wouldn't have partnered up with him if you'd known." Quackity said, doubting his own words, but making sure not to show that. He pulled his knees up to his chest, resting his chin on them. "I just thought that maybe we could use this chat, cause, y'know.. We both haven't exactly had the best past.." Dream laid back on the couch, it almost seemed like the couch was going to swallow him. "Nor the best relationship with each other" he finished, barely audible to Quackity.

They sat in silence for a few moments, before Dream spoke up. "I know who Sapnap is dating, he's pretty accepting so he'll probably think its fine for you to stay with them." Quackity blinked a few times, is this true? "Why are you talking about that now?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow at Dream. "I think you should move in with them, staying here isn't helping you. Plus, neither George or I are the best at comfort. Sapnap and Karl are better at that." Quackity widened his eyes, Dream is telling him to move in with them? "Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think being in the same house as me is helping either. It probably brings back a lot of memories, and that isn't good for your mental health right now."

"Are you sure I should move in with them?..." he muttered into his knees. "What was that?" Dream apparently hadn't heard him. "Why would moving in with them be any different?" he asked, changing his original question. "Well, I think I already explained that, but.. 1. I wouldn't be there, 2. They're better at comfort, 3. Sapnap will actually be home and the two of them will force you out of bed in the mornings, I know from experience... There's a lot of reasons, Alex." Quackity looked over at Dream, While what he was saying is probably true, at the same time.. It's kind of hard to just move out of a house you've been living in for around half a year now. Though, thinking about that made him realize he hadn't gotten any better since half a year ago, when Schlatt died.

"You're right, I should probably move in with them.." Dream smiled at Quackity, pulling him into a hug. Quackity rolled his eyes, though slightly leaned into the hug. He hadn't exactly had one in 3 months, because he didn't interact much with his housemates. Maybe moving in with Sapnap and 'Karl' as Dream said will be better for him. Or would it do the opposite? Sapnap and this Karl person are dating, it might give him flashbacks to Schlatt and his relationship... Either way, he was going to take a gamble. 

A gamble for either pain or restoration, who knows what the outcome will be?
