A few days later, quackity tossed and turned in his bed. His thoughts swarmed his mind as he kept thinking back to the events that occurred. Every time he thought of Karl's lips against his cheek, he felt the same flutter rise in his chest. His emotions were all over the place, it didn't help that he noticed he also started to have a liking for a certain black-haired bandanna wearing hybrid as well over the past couple of days from when he returned. He's never liked two people at once to this extreme. He groaned into his pillow as he watched the sky through the window of his room. He got up out of his bed tip toeing over to the window as he watched the stars that flickered high above. These thoughts had kept him up all night once again. He sighed, looking towards the sleeping toddler who was cuddled into a pillow on the other side of the bed. He smiled fondly at his illegally adopted son, walking over and bending down to kiss his forehead gently, pulling the covers up over his shoulders. He pattered softly and quietly over to the door, opening it a little and slipping through the crack, gently closing it behind him. He decided he would get some water to get his mind off of things. He crept down the hall, and the stairs, cringing when a floorboard would creak. Every time it did, he would turn around to see if anyone had woken up, but every time he did, he saw no one there. Once he made it to the kitchen, he cheered quietly about making it unscathed, before padding his way to the sink, opening the cupboard where the cups were and pulling one out. Once he acquired the water from the sink, he took a swig, letting the cold water pour down his throat, a cool feeling passing through his body.

He sighed as a shiver passed through him from the shiver, instant relief causing his tense muscles to relax.

"What are you doing up?" he jumped at a voice behind him, dropping the cup onto the ground causing it to shatter at his feet, cursing when some shards of glass shot out, piercing his feet. A pain shot through his foot, causing him to yelp as he placed his hands on the cold counter, turning around to look at who had come into the kitchen and startled him. Sapnap stood there with a concerned face as he jumped into action "oh gosh, sorry for startling you! Didn't mean to do that, probably should have announced my presence earlier, oh gods your bleeding! Here, let me help!" quackity gasped when he was swept off his feet, and taken out of the kitchen. He carefully wrapped his arms around sapnap's strong neck, blushing a little from being carried bridal style. He was let down on the couch, and before he could question the blaze hybrid, sapnap was gone. Quackity's head was spinning as his heart pounded against his chest. Oh, gods, this was not helping his feelings. He was still trying to figure out what he felt for these two and to complicate it even more, he was just manhandled by one of the guys he might like. No, scratch that, he did like this guy, just like he liked Karl. His feelings were in turmoil as he thought about sapnap's muscles that firmly gripped him mere seconds ago. Thank the gods his dirty thoughts were interrupted when sapnap came bursting into the room with bandages. Quackity sat up, wincing as he felt the huge cuts in his feet begin throbbing with pain. Sapnap began cleaning up and taking out the pieces of glass that were lodged into Quackity's feet wordlessly, focussing whole-heartedly on the task at hand. Quackity's heart jumped into his throat at the strong grip sapnaps big hands had on his feet, keeping them in place as he worked. Butterflies began swarming his stomach as the black-haired boy began disinfecting the cuts, causing quackity to grip his pillow, biting his lip to soothe the pain. As sapnap began bandaging up quackity's feet, he asked quackity a question.

"You never answered my question earlier." sapnap said as he looked up at quackity from his eyelashes, flicking his iris back down to his work. Quackity chuckled nervously as he began fiddling with the fabric of the couch.

"What question?" he gulped down his nerves as sapnap glared at him.

"What do you mean 'what question'. The one I asked you about earlier! When I asked you what you were still doing up to?" sapnap raised an eyebrow at the winged man. Quackity looked away from his heated gaze, blush falling against his ears, flaring up with heat under the stare of the other. He chuckled softly, feeling hot under the pressure from the man's gaze.

"O-oh, right. I just couldn't sleep. Ya know, too much on my mind and all." he murmured, gaze falling to the hands that rested in his lap. Sapnap raised an eyebrow at the boy, who seemed a little more stand-offish than usual.

"What's on your mind then? If it's keeping you up, maybe it will settle down if you tell someone." Sapnap raised an eyebrow at the duck hybrid, he'd never seen quackity act like this, he wondered what was wrong.

Quackity shifted his gaze towards the ground. He didn't want to tell sapnap, especially since he knew that he and Karl were in a relationship. He didn't want to ruin that! Quackity decided that he would be vague about it, maybe sapnap was right, and getting this off his chest would help him sleep better. He looked up into sapnaps fiery black orbs, breath hitching at the beauty.

"Ok, yeah, maybe you're right," he sucked in a breath through his teeth. 'Hear goes.' he began fiddling with his sleeves "ok, so have you ever had a crush on two people, and you want to tell them you like them, but you're not so sure they'll like you because they are already in a relationship with each other, and probably aren't polyamorous, so you keep the feelings to your self, but every time you watch them interact with each other, you wish you were in the middle of that. It hurts you every time you see them together without you, but you promised yourself to keep your feelings to yourself because you don't want to get hurt or hurt them?" he kept rambling on and on about what was on his mind, sapnap listening attentively, a feeling of jealousy twinging its way into his heart as quackity talked about the people he liked. "And yeah, that's what's been on my mind. Oh gosh, I rambled didn't I? I'm sorry!" he looked down to the ground, sucking a breath in through his teeth as his eyes shut tightly.

Silence filled the room for a second, causing Alex's anxiety to grow. Eventually, after a while, quackity felt a hand ruffle the exposed hair. He opened his eyes to see sapnap smiling softly at him, he gulped, feeling his heart jump out of his chest, dancing with euphoria. The dark warm irises left quackity feeling weak, the soft smile the bandanna-wearing guy gave him left him wanting more than just this friendship.

"Ohhh~ so the ducky has a crush, does he? How sweet! I wonder who it is?" Sapnap's voice was like honey in his ears, slipping the thick liquid of ears through his whole body. It sent shivers down the duck's spine. He nodded, gulping down the lust that started sending pleasure through his body, who knew a voice could get him this aroused?

"Y-yeah... I wonder." quackity backed away from the man that made him act this way, looking down to the ground as he felt a knot form in his stomach. He squirmed under the man's gaze, causing him to chuckle. Suddenly, quackity was pressed against the counter, glass completely forgotten. sapnap held the squirming aroused duck boy in place while giving him a lustful stare.

"I wonder... is it me or Karl that's making you this aroused? Hm? I can smell it radiating off of you duckling~" quackity was overwhelmed by the flirtatious nature of the boy, he could pass out from the closeness of the two. He gasped when he felt the other begin trailing his hand down. "You know, Karl and I have been talking, and I can't ask you until Karl is here, but we were wondering if you would like to join our relationship?" sapnap pulled off the boy teasingly, smiling softly at how pleasured the boy looked just from his touch.

"I-i didn't even say who I liked-" quackity started but was quickly interrupted by the blaze hybrid.

"Oh, you didn't need to, from the way you didn't push me away I can tell you like me, and don't think I didn't notice how you were looking at my boyfriend, duckling~" he winked at the boy. "you don't have to answer now, get some sleep, ok? You can answer me in the morning when I get back from work." sapnap kissed the back of quackity's hand before slipping out of the kitchen. Quackity looked at where sapnap had kissed his hand, a heat falling against his cheeks. He couldn't believe that just happened. Did sapnap and Karl like him? Or was that all in his head? He felt sleepiness fall on his head like an anvil. He guessed he would find out in the morning.
