A New Normal-- QuackHalo

A confession

Bad sighed exhaustedly after taking Lucy from the dog watcher. He had thanked them and gave them their money, and they had told him that she had been a good girl.

That's a relief, because with how much he spoils her... He wasn't very sure about how it would go with a different person.

He quickly traveled to his room, glancing at the calendar. He only had his Saturday stream scheduled this week, so he'll have to take care of scheduling the rest of it.

Maybe he could do a stream with Quackity..? But he had just done a lot of things with Quackity, so he wasn't sure if the fans would still appreciate it or not.

Of course, they seemed to absolutely love the entire past week, but you could never tell with them sometimes. Fans are always so unpredictable.

And the week of hanging out with Quackity had to have been one of the best times Badboyhalo had in his life.

He loved Quac- hanging out with Quackity.

Bad paused.

He loved Quackity.

...

No- no. There is no way he loves Quackity.

It's Quackity! The person who constantly annoys him all the time! The one who curses just to get on his nerves! The one he had decided to fake date because he would never fall in love with him!

Right..?

There's no way- why would he like Quackity?

It's not like he always knows when Bad is feeling even the slightest bit down. And it's definitely not like he helped Bad set up boundaries that he wouldn't have done for himself. It's not like he constantly shows that he cares about Bad and what he says, does, and thinks.

It's not like- no. He's not. He's not in love with Quackity.

He... He likes Skeppy. Skeppy! The one he's hopelessly in love with, right! Right?

He can't like Quackity...

He's just supposed to get over Skeppy, not fall in love with someone else.

Bad shook his head in frustration. Well, he is over Skeppy now.

But he wasn't supposed to like Quackity. That's just taking advantage of the whole situation, he can't do that to Quackity.

He brought his phone out suddenly and went to Karl's messages.

Hey karl can we talk pls owo

Karl was the most trustworthy person he could think of. Karl is a good friend, and he always seems to know the right thing to do.

Yeah whats up bad

Hold on ill call u

Rrriiing! Rrriing!

Bad picked up, swiping right and picking up, before putting it on speaker.

"Hey, what's up Bad?"

Sitting his phone down on his desk, he sank into his chair.

" Well.

I need to tell someone something, and it's been bothering me a lot recently."

Karl responded sweetly, "Oh, well do you want to tell me, then?"

Bad paused hesitantly, "I'd have to tell you a couple of things before it makes sense," Bad paused once again.

"But you have to promise not to get mad!"

There was a pause from the other end, of which, Bad could only assume that Karl was contemplating what to say next.

"..Okay. Tell me then."

Bad sighed, rubbing his neck, and should he really do this? He can still turn back, tell Karl that, never mind, he doesn't actually know what he was going to say anyway.

"Ok- okay. Yeah. This is a bit hard to explain, um. So a couple of weeks ago, like a month and a half, I was really sad. And. Quackity noticed."

Karl stayed silent, so Bad continued, "He asked what was wrong, and I told him. It was because I had a crush on Skeppy, it was really difficult for me to do bits... Like that. So Quackity offered to fake date. And, well, I took the offer."

"WAIT. Backtrack. You and Quackity? Aren't actually real dating?"

Bad nervously responded, "Uh, actually. Yeah. It's just fake."

"The whole time? But you guys literally actually kissed on stream?"

Bad giggled, some of the tension in his stomach fading, "Yeah, that was fake actually. But we did actually kiss, for, Uhm, practice."

Bad heard a chair crash.

"NO WAY! You guys actually quite literally have the hots for each other while fake dating!"

Bad malfunctioned for a bit, imagine if Quackity actually liked me, "Calm down Mr. Karl. The point is that I don't like Skeppy-"

"And you like Quackity, yeah, I get it." Bad heard giggling through the phone line.

He sighed at Karl's giggling, "Yeah, I do."

The nervousness that Bad had held in himself evaporated completely, being eased by Karl's antics.

"I don't think you'll need to worry Bad, quite honestly, I think it'll all go okay." Karl paused for a beat, "And I'm not going to tell anyone about anything either, so don't worry about that."

Bad smiled, "Thanks, Karl. It was nice to talk it over with you... Do you have any Tales stuff you want to work out, I'd love to..."

--------------------

After working on Tales with Karl, and leaving the call, Bad texted Skeppy.

Hey skeps uwu

Even though he was slightly nervous, he knew he should get past it now, since he's moved on from Skeppy, and he didn't want to lose his best friend.

Skeppy: Hey bda wats up

I just wanted to talk :]

Skeppy: Oh okay :D is there nyathing in particualtr

Nope owo

Do you want to stream soon

Skeppy: Waht about quackity tho

Skeppy: Dont you want tos teram with him

Yeah but fans miss us lol

Plus i *just* met up with him

Skeppy: Ok i cans tream rn lya said im free owo

Okay, the first step, check, next to do a stream with him without being awkward.

That may be a bit harder than the first step.

But, for the fans. The fans, and Bad himself, missed content with the two together, and the quicker they made content, the easier it would be.

That is one more thing to put on his calendar now, 'Stream with Skeppy'.
