gone

wilbur was packing up the van , having figured it'd be for the best to stop bothering q , maybe settle down somewhere .

quackity looked from atop the needle . seeing the reanimated corpse taking down menus , folding up chairs and tables upfront , and covering the windows of the van . he checked the time . it wasn't 11pm-12am yet . actually it was barely sunset . he never closed up this early . tapping on the window a bit before hesitantly moving away from it to clean xerself up .

he quickly brushed their hair and adjusted their beanie and tie , splashing a bit of the water from the water elevator on xer face to wake them up fully , as they had been cooped up in the needle for a while now . he grabbed his coat and rushed down to see what wil was up to .

"hey !"

wilbur turned to quackity , surprised . either from simply having not seen quackity willingly leave the needle since new years or just seeing quackity in a bit of an unprofessional look . messy hair and ruffled clothes . a little trembly .

"what're you doing ? its barely 6pm ."

"what ? do you want me to stick around or something ?"

he joked . rubbing the back of his neck as quackity stood before him . biting the inside of his mouth and sighing .

"you don't close this early usually ."

"well , i wanted to get out of your hair . its messy enough ."

silence . wilbur bit his tongue . shit . had he said something wrong or something ? this was supposed to be a favor . quackity seemed . a bit teary eyed ?

"are you- leaving ? like- for good ?"

wilbur scratched the back of his neck again . unsure how tnt was going to phrase all this . they hadn't always been the best with words . and especially not with situations like this . quackity continued to stare at him . he was gripping at themselves .

"wil are you leaving ???"

quackity said with a more trembled voice now . he had lost so much . he had so many people slip through his fingers right in front of their eyes . they didn't want it to happen again . no matter how much he pretended to hate wil he couldn't bare to see another person just . fucking leave him . not like this . he wouldn't even be able to visit or anything- where would wil even go ? would this be their last impressions on each other ?? some dispute over fucking burgers ???

wilbur stayed silent for a moment before taking a breath . before tnt was even able to say a yes or a no he was made speechless by a sudden hug . he could feel quackitys faster than normal heart-rate and his unsteady breathing . the duckling was lightly trembling as he held back tears . wil couldn't help but embrace the smaller back .

"h- hey cmon ,, i can come visit and- hey hey hey why are you crying ???"

"-'m sorry , i just- it-"

neither of them wanted the embarrassment of admitting they wanted the other to stay . wilbur hugging quackity tighter as he started to rub xis back lightly . quackity beginning to quietly sob . it felt like he had cried so , so many tears in the past couple months but even then this still hurt so badly . he yearned for a simpler time . the sooty smell of charcoal and ash from his coat was so welcoming . sighing lightly wilbur wiped quackitys cheeks .

"lets go behind , yeah -? i know you don't like people seeing you cry ."

he nods with a choked sob . wilbur sweeping him off his feet and picking quackity up . chuckling lightly as he carried quackity into the shadows of the other side of the van . the inside was a bit of a mess anyways .

quackity relaxed in the others arms . cracking a small smile as the two held each other closely for the rest of the night .

a couple of hours later , quackity woke up at the top of the needle . where he would've usually slept . rushing to his window his eyes scanned the country before realizing it .

the van was gone .
