It started with a Raid War / Quackity x Reader Fanfic

chapter twenty-one

A couple months later...

"Hey Alex?" I called from the kitchen.

"Yeah what's up?" I can see him lean back in his desk chair. I think he's editing a video.

"I'm going to the store. Do you want anything?"

"I don't think so." He puts his headphones back in, then takes them out to ask, "actually can you get watermelon?"

"Yeah, sure."

I walk out the door to go to my car. A call from Sapnap vibrates my phone.

"Hey beautiful," he says as I answer the phone.

"What do you want?"

"You're a party pooper, you know that?"

"Whatever."

"Anyways, I'm going to visit Karl in a couple weeks, and your place is on the way. I was wondering if you wanted to meet up for a little and then we can go to Karl's house together?"

"Yeah that sounds great. You could stay at me and Alex's place for a couple days." I make a right turn onto the highway.

"You and Alex's place? Are you guys living together now?"

"Well, yes. We're just keeping it on the down low to avoid fan's speculation. We probably could say we live together now since the fans know we're just friends."

"Just friends who live together, huh?" 

Was that jealousy in his voice? Jealous of Alex? Why?

"You and Dream live together." I state matter-of-factly.

"Yes but that's different. I've known him for too long."

"It feels like I've known Alex for too long. We talk about some weird stuff, man." I begin to park in the grocery store's parking lot.

He lets out a huff of breath. "Anyways, it's cool if I stay at your place?"

"I'll have to double check with Alex, but I'm pretty sure that it will be perfectly fine."

"Right. Sounds good!"

"Mhm, I have to go to the store, but I'll talk to you on George's stream later right?"

"Yupp I'll be there."

A little later..

I walk into the door with the groceries in hand. I begin to cut Alex's watermelon. It's nice and juicy. I sure know how to pick them.

Alex walks out of his room. "Ooo what's that?"

"Your watermelon, dumbass."

He picks up a slice. "It smells so good."

We start to make a little conversation about our day. Alex has a lot of homework, but he was able to finish editing his video. I offer to make a thumbnail to help out a little bit.

"Oh I forgot," I pipe up as I put the rest of the watermelon into a container. "Is it cool if Nick comes to stay for a couple days when he's on his way to Karl's? They said it's cool if we go to Karl's after too"

"Nick as in Sapnap?"

"No Nick as in Nickelodeon.. Of course Sapnap." I roll my eyes.

"Oh... I mean... I guess that's okay." He shrugs his shoulders once.

"What do you mean you guess?" I ask, shutting the last container of watermelon.

"It'll be fun to get the four of us together again..."

I can tell he doesn't have a problem with going to Karl's, but he has a problem with Nick coming here.

"Well this is your apartment too. I don't want to have unwelcome guests over here, so tell me. What's wrong with Sap?"

"I told you.. nothing." He puts his hands up in defense.

"Well obviously there's something wrong and you're not telling me." I gave him a look.

"I don't have to tell you everything, you know?"

My heart drops a little. Ouch. That hurt.

I don't know why his little sentences hurt so much. I thought we were closer than that.

I took a deep breath. "I just thought we were best friends, but I guess we're just friends who keep secrets now."

I push the watermelon containers into his hands then walk into my room. "Enjoy your stupid watermelon, dick."

Alex and I never completely address what happened in the kitchen. He asked me two days later what week Sapnap was coming as a way to tell me he can come, but that was the extent of it.

I can't tell if Alex is jealous of how close I am to Nick, or if I over thought the entire situation and am a complete narcissist. Probably the latter.
