"...you do?"

This man was about to go jump off a fucking cliff after admitting his feelings, he wasn't thinking straight! He was thinking so fucking gay and he hated himself for it, he was over letting his emotions overpower him! And now Wil was about to slander the living hell out of him.

"Of course, who wouldn't love your handsome ass?" Quack was crying now, and getting mad at himself for it. He just put himself in an extremely vulnerable situation and made it worse.

But Wilbur was there to calm him down, as any good, now boyfriend, would. He layed Q down and hugged and cuddled with him and kissed him and wiped the tears that never seemed to end.

Quackity just let him, he realised Wil meant it but his tears couldn't, there was so much built up stress and pain in those tears that they simply came flooding out once Q had finally let them.

"Its okay, ducky."

"I love you."

"I'm here for you."

"I'm so proud of you."

"You're amazing."

"I love you."

"You deserve the world."

And there they sat, Quackity completely sheltered from the outside world, so he could only focus on getting better. Quack was so much shorter than Wil and he was completely covered by Wil's embrace, and all he could hear was Wil's sweet nothings so he had no choice but to stop crying.

It felt good to let it all out like that, without being scared of being caught or killed or most likely both. All that empty love from Schlatt and Karl, all the stress of running his legacy and keeping his reputation in check, it just seemed to melt away in Wil's arms.

"Whatever is making you upset isn't worth your tears, you're too precious for that." That was Wil's polite way of saying he was gonna to blow up the fuck out of whoever was hurting Q, that he would do whatever it took to ensure his love never shed a single tear again.

"Wil, I love you..."

"I love you too!"

"I love you so much... you're amazing."

"I love you more!"

".....no you don't...... this isn't funny Wil.... I-I believed you!"

What was Quackity fucking thinking? He was insane! Wilbur didn't love him, he hated him! Wil wanted him 6 feet under, he wanted his country in fucking ruins! He was going to kill the psychopath before he even had the chance to toy with him again!

"How can I prove I love you? I'll do whatever it takes, ducky, I swear." Wil couldn't be mad at Quack for thinking like that, he had hurt so many people, crushed so many dreams in the past. But his ducky was different, and he needed to get Quackity to understand that, no longer how long it took.

"....can you stay here... with me? until... until I feel better?"

"Of course, master"

Quackity cracked a tiny smile, "Shut up".

"I'll just focus on making you 'feel better' then ;)"

Q was slowly putting the pieces together, the flirting, the kisses, it happened so often and yet Quack never thought it was sincere. But he was willing to take a gamble, to roll his dice, draw from the deck and give love another chance.

".....can you umm.. can you say that you.... that you love me again?"

"Of course, you deserve to be told how much you are loved every second of the day,"

Wil made Quack comfortable so he could relax, removing his shoes, belt, tie and, of course, his white button-up. He layed Q down and followed suit, showering every visible piece of skin in kisses.

"I love you so much, Quack, you're the light at the end of my endless train station."

"I... I love you, too," It felt wrong how genuine that was, how revealing it could be. Quackity was so used to lying, overselling, putting on persona after persona and slowly losing what he considered to be his "real self". Being genuine after so much time of false confidence was off putting, but he knew nothing bad would happen because of it and so he dropped the act.

"Thank you, I don't deserve it though."

"You deserve love, Wil, especially after you just helped me,"

"No, Duckling, we both know my legacy isn't great, and I don't deserve your trust because of that,"

Trust. It was a noun, a verb, a promise, but most importantly it was a lesson.

Lesson 10: Trust Nobody

Wilbur was right, he wasn't trustworthy at all! All it took was a match meant to light a cigarette and everything Quack had worked for would be gone before his very own dark, damaged and tired eyes. The only person he could trust was Slimecicle, because, and only because, he was an extremely open to suggestion mold of Quack's perfect person.

But Slimecicle was still somebody, he broke the lesson, so why couldn't someone else? Wilbur had proved himself trustworthy, he had dozens upon dozens of chances to hurt Quack and yet he never did. Wil did the opposite, he had been in this endeavor for less than a week and Wilbur had helped him more than anyone else ever could.

Lesson 10: T̶r̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶N̶o̶b̶o̶d̶y̶

Quackity was ready for change. He was ready for a revision to his narrative, to change the story they will write someday. He was ready to make this moment the first chapter where he decided to trust just one more person. It wasn't much, but it would be enough.

Lesson 10: Trust unless Proven Untrustworthy

All the intrusive thoughts and nightmares of Wilbur hurting his legacy were a result of his paranoia and his passion. They would never go away as long as he lived, they were called 'intrusive' for a reason, but he could learn to look past that and instead look into Wilbur's warm, chocolate eyes.

"I know you wouldn't hurt me, Wil. You love me way too much for that."

"Was it that obvious?"

"No... I think you should tell me how much you love me more, ya know, so I don't forget :)"

"They say actions speak louder than words. How about I show you instead?"

A/N~ They then proceeded to have passionate sex for a week straight lmao. Naur they just kissed and shit, get ur horny minds out of the gutter fr! Also, being genuine for a second, I'm really happy about how this chapter turned out. I think it still has a good amount of the funni while being serious when it needs to be. Also the next chp will be more Wilby centric because I feel like Q is too focused on [cause I relate/project onto him]. Also also, I made a really scuffed discord server [cause why not] so the link for that [+my discord acc] are in my bio if u wanna check it out! Anyways have a good day/night guys byeeeeeeeee :D
