Don't Know How to Feel.

36. Ice cream After a Long Day

Again, Quackity found himself sitting under the red and white umbrella that kept him out of the hot sun. This time, Sam sat across from him, taking his time to eat. Which Quackity tried to ignore, that was just Sam, a passion so strong for food that he has to take his time not to waste it. But at the same time, Quackity didn't want to be here.

If the heat wasn't enough to make him want to leave, then it was the fact that Sam was eating in front of him. Quackity ignored how his stomach asked for something, he wouldn't be eating here again. Not after Wilbur dumped a whole load of salt and hot sauce on his burger.

"You know they're closing soon right?" Sam asked him as if suggesting something else. Something Quackity didn't want. So Quackity shrugged, resting his elbows on the table, "What about it?"

"Get something to eat before they close," Sam told him, of course he did. Quackity was about to argue back when his stumble quietly grumbled, of course it did. He frowned, more annoyed than anything as he spoke, "I don't think I will."

"Quackity you need to eat. You're clearly hungry."

"Sam."

"Quackity."

There it is, Sam's easy way into victory. Quackity would hate Sam becoming even more parental right now more than he would hate to eat here. So Quackity sighed, rolling his eyes.

"Fine," he complied as he stood up. "But honestly screw you."

So he walked up to the van, greeting Tina before telling her his order. He glanced around for a moment, seeing Ranboo cooking and Wilbur rinsing dishes. He frowned at the other, hoping Wilbur wouldn't be as stupid to pull the same prank again. Wilbur glanced up from the sink, eyes meeting with Quackity's, an unreadable expression on his face when he realised it was Quackity. So Quackity stuck his tongue out, rolling his eyes after like a little kid. Wilbur huffed at that, the slightest smile tugging at his lips.

And Quackity found himself smiling back despite the finger he was holding up. Wilbur was quick to return it, an annoyed look on his face. With that Quackity gave a mocking wave before turning around to walk back to his table.

Sam and Quackity talked, pausing when Tommy walked up to them. They both greeted him as he placed Quackity's burger down on the table. Quackity looked up to Tommy, eyes full of suspicion.

"Did Wilbur touch this at all?" Tommy tilted his head at the question, "What? No Big Q. I literally watched as Ranboo prepared it, then I took it out."

"That's a relief," Quackity mumbled. He was actually thankful that Sam had pushed him to get something to eat, he was quite hungry. "Thanks, Tommy."

"Just doing my job," Tommy said with a tip of his hat and a wide grin before walking off. Tina took his place, standing in front of the two. She gave a wave to them, "Hello you two, I'm off work now. Another day done."

That made Quackity realise that he and Sam were the only customers, but he shouldn't have forgotten about that, Sam waited purposefully for more of the customers to be gone and now he remembers trying to drag Sam out of his opinion, only to land here.

"Hey Tina, how are you?" Sam asked, greeting her with a smile (which everyone did, it was Tina). She hummed, "I'm great but I do have a question for you." Sam nodded in return.

"Kinoko Kingdom is looking for somebody to help out with some redstone projects but none of us are good at that." Quackity ignored the mention of the country, she was asking Sam, not him anyway. "Foolish told me you were pretty good at redstone so I was wondering if you would mind helping us out. We are paying so, there's that."

"Uh- yeah," Sam agreed, looking to his side and standing up. "I don't have my planner on me- here, Tina, could you come with me to plan this out?"

Quackity smiled at the sight, he found it amusing watching Sam try to keep things as organized as he could. So seeing him not have some sort of planner on him was new. When Tina agreed Sam turned to face Quackity, like leaving him to eat was a bad thing. So Quackity shrugged him off, "Not my country, I don't care."
