Wilbur's POV
--------------------------------
When Quackity and I arrived at the creek Nikki (my best friend) and Jack (friends by association, but still friends) were already there.

"Nikki!" I called out excitedly and ran over to hug her. "Wilbur!" Nikki called back to me and ran over to hug me as well. "Hi Wilbur! Hey Big Q!" Jack waved to us. "Hey Jack!" Quackity and I said in unison.

Nikki and I stopped hugging and we went over to Jack. They had a blanket laid out on the bank of the creek and two coolers, one with drinks and the other with food.

"Karl and Sapnap will be here soon." Nikki informed us with a smile. Quackity nodded and sat next to Jack on the blanket. I sat next to Nikki and Quackity, I went to give my lover a little peck on the cheek but then remembered we're with our friends and stopped myself.

"How have you guys been?" I asked. "All good with us, you still up in our challenge Soot?"  Jack asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yes. But let's not talk about that right now." I said nervously as I got strange looks from Quackity.

Just then, Karl and Sapnap arrive at the creek as well. "Hi guys! It's so great to see you after the summer!" Karl hopped up and down energetically

Sapnap waves at us, I scowl slightly and stood up. "I'm going to get in the water." I said as I moved away towards the creek. The water is a little chilly as I stepped into it, as I did so I took off my jacket and tossed it onto the bank.

I looked nervously at my exposed scars and then looked over to Quackity. I felt kind of angry as I saw Karl and Sapnap gushing over my lover's wings. I turned away, I feel as if I'm ok to have my arms out since I doubt anyone is going to care much.

I got further into the water and went to the opposite side of the creek, I looked towards the rest of the group as I slipped neck deep into the creek water, pretty much just sitting down now.

Sapnap has an arm around Quackity's neck and Karl is sitting on the other side of him, his cheeks flushed pink as he admired my beloved's wings. Jack and Nikki seemed to pay no mind to the actions of two boys hitting on my boyfriend.

But I can't really blame them can I? Quackity wants us to keep our relationship a secret for some reason, but I won't disrespect his wishes. Him and his family, besides George, have all been so good to me, this is the least I can do, right?

I was startled out of my thoughts by a hand on my head. I looked up, Nikki, I smiled at her. "Are you alright Wilbur? You seem upset" Nikki asked me worriedly.

"I'm alright Nikki, thank you" I responded, looking solemnly at Quackity. "Wilbur, please don't lie to me. Is there something going on with Quackity?" Nikki furrowed her brow as she looked in the direct of our picnic blanket.

"I... I can't tell you Nikki, I'm sorry" I sighed. "Wil you can tell me anything... please talk to me" Nikki gave me a sad look and I sighed again. "Ok... but don't tell anyone else, not even Jack. Ok?" I asked quietly.

"Alright Wil" Nikki smiled reassuringly at me. "Ok... well, Quackity and I... we've been dating since Spring break. But he keeps saying that he wants to keep it a secret from... well, you guys. I don't like it though, you know Karl and Sapnap like him... and it's like he enjoys their loving attention. It makes me feel like I'm not enough..." my eyes teared up a little as I spoke.
