× Troubled in Mafia's Business ×

Chapter 12

"Quackity! Where were you?" George said and stood up from his chair, clearly disturb about Quackity's sudden disappearance.

Dream and Sapnap just looked at the boy, surprised. Karl also gave him a weird look.

Quackity slowly closed the door and stepped in the room. He tried to hide that he ran here, but failed as he was still panting.

"Sorry, George." Quackity said, "I was smoking outside and zoned out. That's why it took so long." He explained.

As George was about to question the boy, seeming to not believe his excuse, Dream barged in the conversation.

"You smoke?" He asked.

Quackity looked to the side, "Yeah, I do."

It was a lie. He absolutely hated the sight or smell of a cigarette. It gave him bad memories.

"Huh." was all that Dream replied with.

George rolled his eyes, "Quackity, why were you up so early? You usually wake up later." He questioned.

"Couldn't sleep Gogy." Quackity laughed it off. How did George already know him so well? It surprised him, but he mustn't show any emotion, or his lies would be caught.

George sighed, "Alright. If you say so."

Quackity smiled at him. George cared a lot, even if he seemed cold. He was the only guy here that Quackity really liked to spend time with.

George smiled back, "Come on, sit down, Quack. Breakfast will be in a minute."

Quackity scoffed at the nickname, but then suddenly he showed an uncertain face, "Actually George, I'm not hungry." He said.

George looked surprised, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." was all that Quackity replied with.

"Alright, suit yourself." George scoffed.

Quackity turned himself around to face the stairs, but he was met with another problem.

Sapnap still stood there, looking at him, judging him. Quackity didn't like that, it felt weird.

The issue was that he needed to go there, because his room was upstairs.

Quackity took a big breath, and started walking towards the other man.

As he tried to ignore Sapnap and walk around him, he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

The hand was warm and had a strong grip. It was Sapnap's.

Quackity scoffed, and his eyes met with the big brown ones in a not pleasant look.

"You were smoking, huh?" Sapnap asked with a teasing tone.

Quackity growled in response, which obviously gave Sapnap even more satisfaction. He loved teasing people, especially Quackity. Just something in that boy made it even more special.

On the other side, Quackity wasn't amused. He hated that Sapnap was playing with him like some kind of animal.

'Fuck, I forgot he knows.' Quackity thought, he totally forgot about Sapnap knowing about his work. He probably put the events together and figured out that Quackity was coming back from work.

"Shut it, loser." Quackity barked back, he was angry.

Sapnap smirked at him, and pushed him a little, walking to the table.

Quackity rolled his eyes, and walked up the stairs to his room.

Karl gave Sapnap a confused look, but Sapnap just smiled and sat at the table.

Almost everyone decided to ignore the conflict between Sapnap and Quackity, since they didn't know what to do about it.

Well, Dream couldn't stop thinking about it while eating. True, he shouldn't get in their business, but Sapnap was still his best friend and Dream was worried. He didn't like when people close to him fought with each other. It made him feel uneasy.

Soon, Dream risked it and looked at Sapnap.

"Why are you so mad at Quackity?" He asked, with a gentle but curious voice, since he didn't want to force Sapnap. He knew that his best friend wasn't the type to talk about emotions.

Sapnap sighed, "I just..." he started, but stopped to think about it. What was he so angry for? It was kind of about the stripper thing, but was it really Quackity's fault?

Of course, his high ego could not let him doubt his right to fight about it.

"Well, we just got into a fight before and both of us are still not over it." Sapnap lied, he couldn't tell that secret, even if it was his enemy. His loyalty was truly strong, no matter what.

Dream looked at his food and back at Sapnap, sighing.

"If you say so, Sapnap, but please try to figure it out. I don't want any big fights between the two of you. It's not good for our business and our mental health." Dream explained, smiling at the end.

Sapnap shook his head, Dream always cared way too much.

After that, all of them ate their breakfast and stayed at the table, talking.

That was until they heard footsteps from the stairs, and saw Quackity with a... backpack?

"Quackity, why do you have a backpack? Are you going somewhere?" George asked, confused, much like all the others.

Quackity looked at them with a nervous expression.

"I need to leave."
