the amazing spider-duck(man) | QUACKNAP

live in my dreams.

"quackity."

quackity turned to see a boy who wasn't facing him. he walked in front to see it was karl. he gasped and backed away.

"why did you kill me?"

quackity felt as if he was going to throw up. it was pitch black other then where the two boys stood. he was trapped.

"i didn't want to! i didn't mean to! i'm sorry karl." quackity cries out.

"but you did. a part of you is glad i'm dead now. you wanted me gone and you are glad that it was an 'accident' because you can guilt trip yourself into believing that it wasn't your fault. and dear sapnap will tell you the same thing. but.. he wasn't there was he.?"

quackity covers his ears and shakes his head. he wants to block it all out.

"he didn't hear about the secrets you told. and you'll live with it forever knowing that you did love me. but it's too late now isn't it? isn't it?!"

quackity screamed, "go away! go away! you're not real!"

"make me go away quackity! kill me again! it was so easy the first time you did it! do it again!"

quackity then jolted up in tears. sapnap quickly got up too. he laid quackity's head on his shoulder.

"what happened mi amor?" sapnap asked.

it had been two months since the incident. quackity had been released and healing, at least physically. he felt as though karl were haunting him.

sapnap had tried to get quackity's mind off of it in many ways. he had quackity teach him spanish. and in return sapnap started teaching quackity the violin.

"he was.. in my dream again.. this time it was so real. he was really there and he said real stuff." quackity cried.

sapnap ran his fingers through quackity messy hair, "is there something that happened between you two that is making you feel guilty?"

"the whole thing! i just— i killed him sapnap. i can't just forget about it.. everything he said."

"but you had no intention of killing him."

quackity sniffled, "he told me he wanted to take me with him. so we wouldn't be far apart.. and now i feel like he's doing this as a taunt."

"he wanted to kill you..?" sapnap asks.

quackity nods.

"he said.. you didn't deserve me because you didn't understand me like he did. he said he loved me. he said he knew.."

"knew about..?" sapnap asks.

quackity shudders, "all of it.. he knew about me being spider-man. and he said he knew about us too."

"do you think you feel guilty because he confessed.?"

"i don't know.. i don't understand why this is happening to me and i just want it to stop. i want him to go away."

sapnap sighs, "what if you go to therapy.?"

"it's too risky. i have to deal with him myself, find out how to get rid of him."

"i'll be here— as emotional support. it's going to be hard on you. so i don't want you to be alone."

quackity sniffles, "i don't want to put you at risk of something."

"i don't care about any risk." sapnap kisses quackity's forehead, "as long as you're okay."

"please sapnap. i cant lose you."

"and you won't lose me. i understand the risk but i promise you i can take care of myself."

quackity lays back down. sapnap follows. he puts an arm around quackity and quackity cradles in his arms.

"i'm sorry sapnap."

"don't ever be sorry."

quackity would dream again and again of the same boy he could've saved. he could've talked him out of it. he could've made it never happen in the first place.

finally one of his dreams were different.

"quackity."

quackity sighed knowing it would be the same process.

he shook his head, "go away karl."

"no. this time i'm going to tell you why i did what i did. and maybe then i'll go away— for good this time."

quackity looked up to see karl. he didn't look beat up and dead this time. he looked as beautiful as he once did.

"sapnap had told me all about his crush on you, such an oblivious guy. and he told me about his plans to ask you out on a date. from there i got so enraged i argued with him." karl paused, "to release my anger i asked a friend to help me rob a bank. that's when you showed up. i realized the suit was familiar and that's when i chickened out."

quackity nodded to show he was listening.

"i cried at home knowing that there was no possible way it was your co worker. that's when it hit me that you were spider-man. i had intended to stop but one night i had gone to a restaurant to clear my head and i saw you and sapnap on the date. you guys were so happy and for once you weren't fucking busy. it had clicked to me that you didn't really want me."

"karl—"

"so that's when i decided i would finish things. i would make sure it was a fight that would kill us both. but who was i kidding. you're a superhero and i'm only human, i was no match. and now you have sapnap and i'm dead."

karl finished and quackity was in tears. his whole motive was entirely because of him. it was all his fault. he made everything so obvious too.

"if things had worked between us.. could i have stopped you..?" quackity asked softly.

karl chuckled, "you could've stopped me even in the final moments."

the comforting message hurt more than it did comfort.

"i'm sorry karl." quackity whispered, "for everything."

karl nodded, "that's all i wanted to hear."

and quackity woke up.
