just one moment

31. the aftermath

—- Quackity's pov—-

Wilbur was so stressed the next few days. Whenever he looked at his phone he just cried. He was too nervous to do anything. We'd already been back to the hospital to get his bandages changed and some they just took off. It made it worse that Tommy and Tubbo went up to America with Ranboo and Aimsey. And then Phil went home too. Finally I managed to convince him to stream.

—- Wilbur's pov—-

I felt so bad. Quackity spent so much time taking care of me. None of this was his fault. I was nervous for the stream. I wasn't wearing my binder like I usually do for streams. I wore a yellow sweatshirt white the sleeves rolled up, a black skirt, a corset belt, socks and trainers. I had to have most of the bandages showing because otherwise my clothes would get caught on them and it would hurt when they pulled.

We started stream and left the starting soon scream in for a while. After a short time we turned on the camera.

"Hi chat." Said Quackity.

"Hey." I said quietly while waving.

Chat was going crazy. I went into the settings and increased the amount of time on slow mode and eventually it slowed down enough for us to read it. I couldn't see anything negative, out of what I read that is. But I forgot how pushy chat are and how many questions they ask. 

"Chat slow down for a minute and I'll explain." I said. 

"You sure?" Quackity whispered to me.

"Yes." I whispered back.

I got up and stood back from the camera.

"So as many of you may now by now, I'm trans, although it's female to male." I said. "And yes, I'm gay."

I let chat process everything I'd just said for a moment.

"And these bandages are from when I was kidnapped about a week ago now." I said. "I was there for a few days and now it's been a few days since they found me."

I was walking back to my seat when I tripped and collapsed onto the floor. Quackity rushed down to me and helped me up. I sat back down in my seat. 

"And, if you're wondering how that happened, we were filming a video and I went off on my own to explore the area some more. And I found a hideout type of place. I went in and then... yeah." I stopped.

We moved on and didn't talk about it for the rest of the stream. I felt so detached from everything.
