You and Alex had been best friends since the time you met as teenagers. The two of you never strayed far from one another, which is why you had come to L'manberg upon his request.

You didn't know he was going to fall in love with some man who had a resemblance to you. You found yourself always comparing Schlatt's big horns to your rather small ones. His vibrant and confident goat eyes to your insecure human ones. His Alpha personality to your meek one that only appeared when he was around. You found yourself hating that man but you never could stop loving Quackity.

Not even after he started being scared of you. Alex never said it aloud but you could tell by the look in his eyes. Your horns reminded him too much of Schlatt's and after he had finally told you, sobbing and shaking, about what Schlatt had done to him you were even more disgusted with the former President.

Schlatt was dead. But even after Alex told you everything, it was like he still saw you as his former lover. He still avoided you. You who was always there for him. You who has never left his side. You who would never lay a harmful finger on him. You who loved him unconditionally.

Your horns used to bring you pride.

"You know, Mi amour, your horns are really pretty!"

You blushed, lifting your head up higher as you basked in the praise Alex gave you, "Think so?"

They showed you were a hybrid- something you were proud to be.

"WOW! A GOAT HYBRID!"

You tilted your head as someone grabbed your horns gently, "Hello?"

"Hi! I'm Alex, I'm a hybrid too!" the boy expanded his yellow wings outward.

"I'm Y/n!" You head butted him softly as a sign of friendship.

But how could you wear them with pride now?

...you couldn't.

C R A C K!

-

"Y/n?" Alex poked his head in your house with guilty eyes. He knows he's been ignoring you lately and he wanted to apologize. Plus, there were some feelings he'd been dying to tell you about for years.

The sight of blood droplets on the floor made the duck hybrid pause in his tracks. They got more frequent the farther he traveled until he was right outside your bedroom door where there lay a pool of the red liquid.

"Y/n?!"

You stumbled to the door and opened it clumsily, looking up at Alex in surprise, "Quack Quack? What are...what are you doing here?" One of your eyes was closed due to the blood pouring over it.

"Oh my god!" Alex's hands shot forward, wiping at the blood on your face before he realized where it was coming from. He backed up slightly in horror and stared at where your horns used to be.

You frowned, missing the warmth he provided and reached out for him, only to pitch forward when your head spun from the movement, "Alex-"

"Shh, Mi amour, I've got you." He picked you up and brought you to the bathroom, grabbing a rag on the way. You were lowered into the tub on Alex's lap as he turned the water on.

You felt a wet rag being dragged over your face, wiping away all the blood. You could feel Alex trembling behind you, making you frown but before you could speak, he interrupted.

"What happened to you?"

"I ripped them off." You felt his body tense as he let out a choked sob.

"Why?" His voice was shaky. "I thought you took pride in your horns!"

"Not after what he did to you. I couldn't stand watching you look at me and see that bastard, so I ripped them off. I didn't take pride in my horns anymore but I take pride in loving you, Alex."

He was speechless- not only at the fact you ripped your horns off but that you loved him and that's why you did it.

You were lifted out of the tub, still in Quackity's arms, and taken to your bed. You laid there while he scrambled around your house gathering first aid. Once he came back and started patching you up, he said the words you'd been dreaming about for years.

"I love you too, Y/n. I'm sorry it took me so long to realize it and I'm sorry that..."

"Don't worry about my horns, okay?" you smiled and tugged on his arm, making him bend down closer to you, "I'm fine as long as I have you." You wrapped one arm around his neck and kissed him, intent on consoling his guilt.

Alex was happy to kiss back, maneuvering you gently into a sitting position. He tried to pull away, but you brought him right back and in a few seconds, you were on his lap. "Y/n, stop."

You immediately paused and took your hands off him, raking your eyes over his expression for any signs of uncomfort.

He smiled at that, feeling his heart melt a little. "Don't worry, I wanna keep going, believe me, but I don't want your head to start bleeding again."

You were instead brought down on his chest to be cradled and have your hair stroked. You giggled, moving slightly so you could hear his heartbeat clearly. You didn't care if your horns were gone. All that mattered was that you had Alex now and you were gonna make sure all he experienced was love.
