I Remember You

Chapter 3

TWs: Mild swearing

"If you're ok with a polyanamorous relationship," Sapnap starts, moving towards Quackity.

"Polyamorous," Karl corrects him.

"Yeah polyamorous. Watch this," Sapnap says, kissing Quackity as Karl watches. "You ok with that?"

"Ok yeah, you guys did that. Now Sapnap, come here," Karl instructs, Sapnap following his lead. "Q, tell me if you're ok with this," Karl says as he kisses Sapnap.

"Don't ever do that, don't ever do that," Quackity yells, chasing after Karl as a joke, causing him to giggle mercilessly. Quackity howls in laughter as they run around the room.

Quackity smiles to himself at the memory as he walks down the path to Sapnap and Karl's house. As much as he doesn't want to admit it, he misses the sound of Karl's laugh, how it starts off quiet and erupts into a loud fit of giggles.

Before he knows it, he's standing at his ex-fiancés' front door, knocking excitedly. "Hey Quackity," Sapnap greets him, ushering him inside. Quackity nods at him as he enters the house. It is cozy, just like he had imagined. The oak walls were a beautiful contrast again the red of the mushroom roof. The quartz counters of the kitchen he was led into were striking. The various mugs strewn about the kitchen adorning silly phrases, no doubt belonging to Karl, caught Quackity's eye, reminding him of Karl's kitchen at his old house. In the room, there was a tiny kitchen table, where Karl sat finishing a cup of hot chocolate in a mug that read "Turtley Awesome" with a picture of a turtle on the front.

Upon entering the room, Karl looks up at him wearily, afraid to set him off like he did yesterday. Quackity smiles at him, trying to give him a sign of peace, which Karl quickly accepts, smiling back at him as he stands up.

"So Q, where are we headed to today?" Sapnap asks.

"I was thinking we head to the Harry Potter house," Quackity tells him, earning a smile from Sapnap.

"Of course," Sapnap chuckles, reminiscing on their engagement. He locks hopeful eyes with Quackity, who quickly looks away, changing the subject.

"Do you remember that place, Karl?" Quackity questions, his tone hopeful.

Karl looks up at him sadly, wringing his hands. "I'm sorry, I don't," he tells Quackity sadly. "But maybe I will when I see it!" Karl adds cheerfully, beginning to bounce on his feet, causing Sapnap to chuckle at him.

"Well, then I guess we should head off huh?" Sapnap says, guiding the two towards the door.

After the long trek to the spot, the trio descends the ladder into the room where it happened. Quackity takes a shaky breath, trying to settle himself as the memories this room holds come flooding back to him. Sapnap seemingly follows suit as another deep breath is heard from behind Quackity. Karl is running around the room, admiring the potted bushes and the water feature within a room of chairs, which looks like a meeting place of sorts.

"Karl, do you remember this place?" Quackity asks as he watches Karl play with the water flowing from the wall. Karl looks over at him sheepishly, giving him the answer he desired.

"This is where we all got engaged," Quackity explains, beginning the story. "We were all fighting one day over who wanted to date who, so we decided to settle it here. You had the idea of a polyamorous relationship."

"You had no fucking clue what that was Q," Sapnap said to Quackity, giggling.

"Shut up Sapnap," Quackity teased, faking annoyance. "Anyway, Karl, you suggested that we all try to kiss each other as pairs to see how we reacted."
