A New Normal-- QuackHalo

Jackbox

"Guys I'd like to address something before the Jackbox stream, and it's very important to me."

Quackity clapped his hands after that, gaining virtually everyone's attention on the stream, whether they were at work, sitting alone in their house, or otherwise.

He sighed a bit before starting again, "I'd appreciate it if you guys no longer made Skephalo jokes, and you don't compare Bad and I's relationship to his and Skeppy's."

Quackity twisted his mouth, not knowing how to continue, and so a few seconds of uncomfortable silence ensued after that.

"And I've already told my friends about this, but I felt like I needed to say something about it to you guys."

He had extrapolated, from a series of late-night conversations that have been happening recently, that Bad had gotten really pressured from Skephalo jokes and being reduced down to that.

And he also knew that Bad wouldn't say anything about it.

He had learned that about Bad, he never speaks up for himself, even if it's something that makes him feel awful.

"That being said, let's join, I can't wait to pop off with the crew tonight!! We have Karl, Dream, George, and Skeppy on call."

Quacktiy grinned excitedly, "And of course, the rare. And HIGHLY COVETED BADBOYHALO CAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Chat streamed with several statements of excitement because as much as they joke about Bad not ever doing a face cam, it really was rare. So even an outside viewer who didn't watch Badboyhalo was excited about this.

Bad's face went up on the screen, and smiled, causing Quackity's grin to grow wider. It wasn't even fake at this point, Bad lit up Quackity's life.

As a best friend.

Obviously.

"Okay everyone, we're doing Quiplash first."

"I think you mean Pander City," Karl chirped.

"No! No pandering today!!!!!" George exclaimed, although, everyone could see right through him.

It's not like he put DNF for all the answers once.

Bad rolled his eyes on the face cam, "You always say that but I think we should pander, it gives me more chance to win."

Quackity laughed and retorted, "You know how much Badboyhalo likes winning guys, think about the muffins!"

Bad looked straight at the camera, "Well, I did win you."

That sounded so genuine.

Fuck.

Quackity's heart pounded for a good couple of seconds.

"EWW! STOP FLIRTING GUYS, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE POPPING OFF!"

Right. Popping off. Jackbox. Yes.

"Yeah, we know Skeppy don't worry," Quackity added in an exaggerated eye roll, "Time for Pander City now."

So they went in and started filling in their replies.

Meanwhile, the chat was freaking out about the little flirting moment they got on camera.

A chorus of 'someone clip that's, 'awwwww's, and 'QUACKHALO's were almost all people could see.

Quackity finished up and discreetly looked at the chat, managing to keep a straight face while looking at everything. He noted how much everyone ate up the tiniest of crumbs, and decided to test it.
