---------------------------------------------------
Karl, Sapnap, and Quackity had been dating for 8 months and lived together for the last 2. They had a very open and understanding relationship and told each other everything. Well, almost everything.
Quackity had a pretty big secret, and even though he felt bad keeping it from his lovers, he knew there was no way he could tell them. His past "lover" Schlatt, if you could even call him that, always loved to point out how ugly and unnatural they were.
Even though he used to love his wings, he kept them tightly bound to his back, only letting them out when he showered. He always made sure Karl or Sap avoided touching his upper back, and while he gave a very unconvincing lie, they dropped it and did as he asked.
And as much as he wanted to, he refused to do anything further than making-out, claiming that it was because he wasn't ready, even though that couldn't be further from the truth. And even after doing such a good job at hiding it for the past two months, everyone slips up, or in this case, neglected to care for themselves until it was too late.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quackity slowly woke up and blinked the sleep from his eyes, looking at the nightstand. 10:27 am. He looked over to see that the bed was empty, and seeing how late it was it didn't surprise him.
When he sat up and stretched he felt a searing pain in his back, making him yelp out and curled in on himself again. "Shit..." He muttered to himself.
He was confused on why his upper back hurt so bad, considering it was perfectly fine when he went to bed last night. He carefully maneuvered himself from the covers and out of bed, whimpering occasionally when he moved too quickly.
He walked over to the door and checked that the hallway was clear before making his way over to the bathroom. To his dismay Karl came from the kitchen when he was around 5 steps away from the bathroom.
He mentally cursed before putting on a smile as Karl greeted him.
"Good morning duckling." Karl said excitedly as he pulled Quackity into a bear hug.
Normally he always made sure to reach lower around his back, but since he was so excited he completely forgot.
"FUCK" Quackity yelled out as Karl's arms squeezed around his wings.
Quackity pulled out of his grasp and ran into the bathroom, ignoring that his eyes widened with worry and his calls asking what happened.
As he turned and bolted to the bathroom Karl let out an audible gasp seeing a huge red splotch on his back. Karl knocked on the door and tried to get Quackity to open up, but the door was already locked.
Heran to the living room where Sapnap sat scrolling through Twitter. "Sappy...Sappy...help-p I d-don't know wha-t I just-t did"
"Baby take a deep breath and explain what happened." He stated, worryalready evident in his voice.
Karl explained what happened and once he finished he asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"I have no idea, let's go check on him." Karl nodded in agreement and they stood up and walked to the bathroom door. "Quackers? Can you open the door please?"
They didn't receive a response but heard his muffled sobs through the door. Sapnap immediately pulled Karl behind him and took a step back.
"Quackity get away from the door now." He demanded sternly. Not even 10 seconds later he had kicked the door open and they rushed in to see their distressed lover huddled in the corner sobbing and panicking.
When Quackity heard Karl rush away he pulled his shirt off to check his bandage binding. He started to get nervous seeing a red spot on the back of his plain white sleep tshirt.
As he turned around his eyes widened in shock seeing a huge red spot covering the whole bandage that sat over back. Blood. His eyes filled with tears seeing blood and feeling pain together again.
He couldn't help but panic even more thinking about everything that happened with Schlatt and started hyperventilating, not knowing what to do. Tears were streaming down his face before he knew it as he sank into the corner and brought his knees to his chest, sobbing loudly.
He heard voices that sounded very distant but couldn't make out anything they were saying. He looked up hearing a loud noise and saw it was the door getting kicked open.
Karl and Sap rushed in immediately and came over, helping him calm down. 20 minutes later once he was reduced to sniffles and light but persistent tears Sap softly spoke.
"Honey, can you turn around so I can look at your back?"
Quackity vigorously shook his head no, making himself slightly dizzy.
"We need to check and see how bad the wound is and help clean you up." He said more sternly this time.
"N-no you-u cant-t-t see-e it." Quackity said, cringing on how badly he stuttered every word. He took a deep breath and continued. "Y-you will just-t make fun-n of me a-and leave me."
"Quackity." Karl started, sounding more serious than his boyfriends had ever heard him before. "We would never make fun of you or leave you, we love you so much."
"P-promise?" Quackity said, looking up at them hopefully.
"We would never like to you, especially about something this serious, honey."
With their reassurance Quackity reluctantly agreed and turned around.
"Q, why do you have bandages on in the first place? How long has this been going on?" Karl asked, obviously assuming it was a gash rather than two wings smashed and slightly broken underneath the bloody bandage that Sap had started to unwind.
"I've been wearing a band-" He started before he felt the bandage drop onto his lap and two shocked gasps.
"One sec, this is going to hurt." Sapnap said as he started cleaning the wound.
Once he finished cleaning it he left the bandage off and carefully pried the wings from being pressed onto Quackity's shoulder blades.
He explained his wings and how they've been bandaged for a long time, not going into more detail since he didn't want to think about what Schlatt did and said to him.
Karl cleaned up the bathroom while Sapnap took Quackity to the living room and helped him get comfortable without putting any pressure on his back.
"Bubs," Karl started walking through the doorway.
Quackity braced himself to get yelled at and ridiculed, but to his surprise it never came. "Your wings are beautiful, why would you hide them from us?"
Quackity sat there stunned. They thought they were beautiful? "Really?"
"Of course quackers, why wouldn't we? I'm just sad you hid them from us."
A huge weight was lifted from Quackity's shoulders and he explained everything to them. He couldn't help but smile thinking about how lucky he was to have his two boyfriends.
"Thank you, I love you." Quackity whispered before drifting off to sleep without his bindings on for the first time in two months.
