Schlatt growled at the knock at his door, he specifically told no one to interrupt him during this time of the day! He glared at the closed oak door, taking a swig of vodka as he swept a hand through his loose locks of brown hair.

"I thought I told you guys to leave me alone unless you've found something!" he screamed at the closed door, hearing a shuffling noise on the other side as he fell back into his seat.

"S-sir, we have news on the whereabouts of your fiance and child!" a timid voice called out to the drunken President, waiting for an answer, only for the door to swing open as a man with wide eyes and a bottle of vodka stumbled forward.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner, you idiot!" Schlatt rubbed his temples as he watched the fox hybrid in front of him squirm around, tail flicking back and forth anxiously as he flinched back from his president. "Well? Show me dammit! I don't have all day boy!" he scoffed as he smacked the fox who whimpered and flinched back.

"Y-yes sir..." he scurried ahead of the goat hybrid that followed after him, leading him to a room where there was a circle of people from a bunch of other countries, dream and his associates as well as king eret. It seemed everyone but him got the memo that there was a meeting.

"Ah, president schlatt, nice of you to join us, we were just discussing the disappearance of your son and fiance. We think that they have ended up in dreams territory, as they were spotted by a couple of villagers before the big blizzard that happened a couple of days ago in the tundra. We think they might be somewhere there, they shouldn't have made it too far, considering the blizzard, they must've sought shelter and might be hiding somewhere in the tundra. If we sent out people to search for him, I'm sure we would be able to find him and bring them safely back to you." eret's masculine voice shot through the silence. schlatt smirked at the news, nodding along to every word.

"Yes, yes, effective immediately, send every troop out to search for him, and fundy, don't mess up yeah?" he nodded for his second in command to leave and do as he was told, so fundy scurried out, not wanting to anger the goat-man even more. Schlatt turned back to the table of people nodding his head at them with a smile. "Thanks, eret, and everyone else. Do keep an eye out for them and return them to me if you see them. Greatly appreciated. Their names are Alex quackity, and tubbo underscore. Find them. Meeting dispersed.'' He stood up and walked out of the room, a smile on the sick man's face. He was getting his toy back, and this time he wasn't escaping.

Sapnap's eyes widened at the man's claim. Oh god. So this was what quackity was running from? He never thought schlatt was abusive. Of course, he couldn't know for sure until quackity told him, but all signs pointed to the obvious answer! He couldn't deny that. Oh god, he had to tell Karl! He can't let Schlatt get to him. He wouldn't allow it.

Back at the house, Karl and quackity were getting to know one another. They had put tubbo to sleep and were currently sitting in front of the fire talking back and forth.

"Oh wow, so you're saying that you own a flower shop? That's amazing! I own a casino but meh." Karl raised an eyebrow, was this guy trying to compete with him? He giggled at the Mexican man. It was pretty cute. He watched as the winged man started joining in on his laughter with awe. He quite liked his laugh. Even despite everything this boy has been through he can still laugh. Karl admired how strong he was. Without even knowing what happened next Karl wrapped his arms around the winged man's torso, dragging him towards him and hugging his waist, causing Alex to gasp. Once Karl realized what he'd done, he pulled his hands away instantly immediately regretting his actions.

"Oh gosh, I'm sorry, you just looked like you needed a hug, now I see you probably don't like physical contact oh gosh I'm so sorry!" Karl kept rambling, stumbling over his words as he pushed himself away from quackity, his heart wrenching into his throat as it hammered against his chest, full of embarrassment at the sudden hug he had just given. His cheeks flushed in embarrassment, his face turning a light shade of pink as he fiddled with his sleeves nervously. Quackity just chuckled, smiling at the boy's shyness. He grabbed Karl's hands and pulled him back into a hug, startling the multicoloured hoodie boy. He yelped as he tripped over his feet causing the two to crash to the ground, a laugh falling between the two as they lay on each other with Karl on top. Once Karl noticed their position, his face turned a violent shade of red, pushing himself off of quackity's body and turning around to hide his face from the still laughing boy, who cooed at the boy's embarrassment, finding it adorable.

"O-ok, I think I'll turn in for the n-night. Good night, feather." Karl kissed Alex's cheek before retiring to his and sapnap's bedroom a light blush on his face. Quackity's eyes widened in shock as he watched Karl's retreating figure. His cheeks began heating up, his fingers brushing against the skin that was touched by Karl's lips. He gasped as his stomach fluttered with a new but familiar sensation. His heart picked up pace as his legs grew weak, sinking down to the ground as he smiled softly.

Oh shit, he couldn't be, could he?

'Am I..... In love?'
