Quackity POV

It's strange to be laying in bed with another man... especially when it's not after doing anything intimate. He's never had something like this before, it makes him hope everything could work out and maybe, just maybe, they could actually be together.
Quackity won't say yes to dating until they both escape from here successfully... he has to focus on getting out of here, not wondering if he wants to date Wilbur.

An arm slowly curls around him and he remembers that he isn't alone tonight.

"You know... I never could have imagined you'd be like this," he tells the other man after a moment of debating saying it. "You're... actually ok."

"I told you I'd be an amazing boyfriend," Wilbur boasts slightly in response. He then slowly moves his hand up and accidentally runs into Quackity's wing.

The shorter assassin tenses at the touch and tingles go through him.
"Don't do that."
It comes out more hostile than he meant it.

"Oh, sorry," Wilbur moves his hand quickly.

Quackity regrets it immediately. It sounded rude, like how he was in the old days.
Sometimes he regrets showing his true colors... it turned him soft.

Quackity suddenly wants to cry.
His whole life has been ruined: tension is high, he might end up having to choose between Luzu and Wilbur again, and worst of all, he wishes he never stayed here... there were so many times he could have escaped.

"Wilbur... I need space," he finally says, getting out of bed.

"Uh... ok, take all the time you need." the other assassin replies.

Quackity walks into the bathroom and shuts the door. He sits on the floor silently, trying to hold back tears.

I should have left... I should have.

Wilbur POV

He hears the bathroom fan turn on, but shower water doesn't.

What is he doing in there?

Then he hears a sniff, mostly hidden by the sound of the fan.

Oh. He's crying.

Wilbur wants to get up and help so badly, but Quackity said he wanted to be alone.
His sadness fades to anger. The commander did all of this, if she hadn't turned them against each other Quackity wouldn't be crying.

He gets out of bed and storms out of their room. It's time to talk with the commander one on one. She is ruining everything for him right now, he thought she was on his side.

Wilbur reaches the offices and the guards outside hers eye him cautiously.

"I'm here to see the commander." he says seriously.

"Is she expecting you?" one of the guards asks.

"Yes," Wilbur replies. "I'm her top assassin and we have important things to discuss." he lies a bit, well, a lot.

The guards take it seriously though and let him inside.
Wilbur strides down the small hallway with purpose and right into the room.
