Dangerous attraction

Chapter Five

You sighed heavily observing your friend arguing with himself. Of course, Slime couldn't keep a secret. But until that happened, you've met Will a few more times than that.

In your opinion, it felt magical. Like it was supposed to happen because you haven't felt bad about this at all. He made you feel safe in some way. It was ironic because he had a bad reputation. But who said that those people can't be warm and kind to others too? You doubted there could exist an all-evil person and that it would be Wilbur.

- Like-like, what do you even see in him?! Sure, he has nice hair and that deep sexy voice when he speaks, but- But he's the bad guy! I mean, Wilbur destroyed people before! Entirely! - Quackity yelled. He sounded very offended and it made you feel like you had to defend yourself.

- Yeah, alright, I get it. - You rolled your eyes hearing almost enough of his bullshit.

- No, you don't, Y/N! Just listen to me!

- Man, stop denying it! You don't even hear yourself. Like, every fucking time you want to tell me he's a creep, you always put that he's "sexy", "juicy", "majestic" or "hot" in between any of your sentences.

You frowned at your friend. He just laughed awkwardly correcting his collar. You scoffed then. Slime just agreed with you, in his way.

- Yeah, Quackity from Las Nevadas, you do that! And the flight!

- Why won't you just sleep with that man yourself? I bet you dream of that. - you joked.

The joke wasn't that funny right now 'coz of the fuss that you two made but otherwise, everyone would laugh. It wasn't the best time for you. Moreover, it wasn't the first time you joked like that but Quackity has had enough today.

- What the hell? Do it yourself! Since you defend that man so much, just sleep with him yourself! I'm not jealous at all - he added the last part rather impulsively.

You looked at Slimecicle dramatically. As if you two wanted to say "Oh aren't you?" but knew it would be like putting the olive into the fire. So you just threw your arms into the air and turned back to your friend.

- I guess I'll do just that! 'Coz you're not jealous at all, man! - Your voice was snarkier than ever.

You started walking away from him. He looked at you angrily.

-Fine! Betray me!

You turned back to him mad.

- I'd never betray my friend but you clearly want me to do that! And I'm not on anybody's side as well! - you screamed.

Holy shit, that was loud. You felt tears running down your cheeks so you turned away quite shocked and ran away. Like what the fuck was that outburst? It took you off guard. The argument wasn't about Wilbur at all, it felt like it was all about Quackity and you. Now, it made you feel as if you two distanced away from each other at astonishing speed.

Your friends on the other hand looked at your vanishing figure quite puzzled. Quackity felt the same way and was mad at himself so he turned away very upset. But Slime was oblivious to all of this and couldn't find the true meaning of your blast of negative emotions. He was confused and wanted an explanation. So he turned to his angry friend knowing you may not come back that quickly.

For some time you were running without purpose and found yourself lost at some point. But after looking around, the place felt familiar.

You sat on the grass catching your breath. It was embarrassing to come back now as you're still full of emotions.

Somebody heard your angry yelling in the distance. Of course, you ran away in the direction where the "bad guy" lived. It was a subconscious decision of yours. But it would flutter the man in question if he knew you hold so much trust in him.

-Y/N? - Revivebur asked unsure.

He saw you making a sloppy version of his flower crown. It was adorable but seeing you in this state wasn't. In addition, it was confusing and he never knew anyone could make you feel that way. He always believed you were strong. Also, he never saw you so valuable before, even in his other memories from Ghostbur. You were always happy and even now, a bit cocky, but never upset.

- What's wrong, my dear? - he asked kneeling to your level.

You looked up getting out of your thoughts in a second.

- I'm sorry. - you replied.

He frowned not understanding. You could feel his hand on yours. It made you calm down your trembling hands, the cause of your sloppiness. You whipped your tears clumsily.

- What happened? Who did this to you, the prettiest person I've ever met?

- No, that would have been Niki - you smirked with a little scoff. He made you smile.

But he shook his head in disagreement.

- No, no, love. I meant you. - He made you look at him. - Who did this to you, baby?

You studied his concerned face for a moment. His eyebrows were frowned, his eyes half closed, his lips formed in a sad smile and his sparkle in those dark eyes almost gone. It felt as if his whole world was falling apart. Followingly it made your eyes widen. Nobody has ever felt this way about you.

- Why... do you care so much, Wilbur? - you asked suspiciously with a little pause.

It wasn't because you didn't believe he could ever care about another person but that anyone could look at only you this way. Especially when you knew him for less than a whole year. You believed it wasn't even two months since you two met. Even Quackity, your best friend ever since, well, you don't remember the first time you met him, but he never looked at you this way.

Was Wilbur in love with you? Why? Why not? It felt quite baffling.

- Do I need to have a reason? - he chuckled sadly quite displeased with your little question.

Maybe he misunderstood you. You didn't want that. When he was about to let go of you, you grabbed his hand hard and pushed him closer. He was surprised, he never expected that from you. Again, you did something, your other version in his head wouldn't do. But he liked to see your true nature, even if you were fierce and assertive a lot of the time.

- Come on, Wilbur. Why do you care about me in particular? Honestly, are we more than friends?

Your eyes were searching for the answer as well as he did. This one question hung up in the air for the moment. It felt like the two of you were thinking deeply at the same time.

- A-Are we? - he whispered softly hoping for something.

You closed your mouth biting your lip searching for the right words...

Were you two a real thing then?
