separate - karlnapity

Note: in this au, karlnapity was married, but Quackity separated (not divorced) and Karl and Sapnap have been having a hard time with the loss of their duck boy.

TW: vague mentions of suicide, mentions of self-harm

It's been three months since Quackity separated, and Karl hasn't been okay. At all. His wrists have been constantly bleeding and sliced, he's barely left his room, and Sapnap's been getting more and more worried by the day. When Karl does leave his room, he cries to his husband, telling him about how much he misses Quackity and how much he wishes he could just be gone so he wouldn't have to miss their husband anymore.

He silently walks to Sapnap's room, sitting next to his husband. "Why did he have to leave.." Karl hugs Sapnap tight.

Sapnap hugs Karl back, slowly rubbing the other's back. "I dunno baby... I dunno..."

"Why can't he come back.."

Sapnap goes quiet for a moment. "I don't know if he wants to..."

"I miss him...... I want him back. Every day hurts... I want this to end..."

"I know baby, I miss him too.... He wouldn't want you to end though..."

"Why did he leave then.... I can't keep going without him..."

"...he wasn't happy with me..." his breathing shakes slightly. "...if you want to see him, he's living in his country.. I bet he'd love to see you..."

"I can't leave you..." He grips Sapnap's shirt tightly.

Sapnap smiles sadly. "I could take you as far as the border... he doesn't wanna see me."

"I can't leave you alone.... We all need each other... We have to be together...."

"I'll be fine, Karl. I promise. You two and your relationship are more important to me than being close with Quackity..."

"I will drag you with me if I have to....." He cries harder.

"And then he'll kick me out.."

"Not if I convince him!!" He grips Sapnap's shirt so tightly that his nails dig into his back a little.

He laughs sadly. "Nothing's going to convince him. He hates me, Karl."

"Please......"

Sapnap goes quiet again. "You can try. He won't listen though." 

~~~

"What's he doing here...?" Quackity casts a bitter look towards Sapnap.

Karl runs to Quackity, wrapping him in a tight hug. "Please let him stay.... I promise he'll be good..."

Quackity expression quickly softens. He hugs Karl back, wrapping his wings around the shorter boy. "I...."

Sapnap stands back a bit, looking a bit uncomfortable.

"Please......"

Quackity hesitates slightly. "...for a little while."

"Thank you!!!!" He tightens his grip on Quackity.

Quackity winces slightly but slightly tightens his grip on Karl as well. "Only for you..."

"I've missed you so much...." He starts crying a little.

"I've missed you too... I'm so sorry..." Quackity kisses the top of Karl's head.

Sapnap looks away, trying to stop himself from crying.

"I don't want us to be separated again, all of us... I need both of you and whether you like it or not, you two need each other and you know it, you're just too stubborn to admit it!"

Quackity looks to Sapnap. "If he needs me, he would've helped me when I needed him."

"'M sorry..." Sapnap mumbles.

"What happened..." Karl tries to fix his sleeve over his cuts but his sleeves are too short.

Quackity immediately notices the cuts. He gently takes Karl's wrist. "What happened..."

"A-after you left.... I spiraled...." He looks at the ground.

"Mi vida.... I'm so sorry...." Quackity pulls Karl closer, kissing the shorter boy's head again. 

"If you are, why did you leave...? I wouldn't have spiraled!!"

"I didn't know..."

"You know how fragile my emotions are...." He frowns.

"I acted on impulse; I never should've left..."

He starts crying again.

Quackity cries a little as well. "Can I make it up to you...? I'll do anything...."

"Let Sapnap stay, I want all of us together again... like before..."

"If that's what you want. He can stay. I'll come back..." Quackity's breathing shakes a little.

"Please......."

Quackity nods and looks towards Sapnap. "Sap..."

Sapnap looks up at Quackity, tears running down his face. "Y-yeah..?"

Karl reaches with one hand toward Sapnap, motioning for him to come over. Quackity nods.

Sapnap hesitantly goes over, Quackity immediately pulling his other husband into the hug.

Maybe they'd be okay after all.
