⛧ 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐨 (𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐲) ♱

Your friendship was always... complicated, but not because you had problems (quite the contrary). Quackity and you had always gotten along. Maybe too well. There was a constant spark between you, that silent tension that everyone noticed, but no one dared to name. It had been almost two years since you'd seen each other. After graduating, you each went your own way and didn't completely lose touch, but the distance gradually extinguished your conversations. In the middle of that party, amidst the low lights, loud music, alcohol, and laughter in the background, you saw him. And he saw you. One look was enough for everything you'd kept quiet to come flooding back, stronger than before. You approached without thinking twice, and he took a step forward at the same time. —Hi. How are you? How are you doing? —he said, with that crooked smile he used when he was being reckless or when you were around —Hi —you replied, feeling your heart race and a silly smile escape you, betraying you He looked down for a second, then looked up again, straight at your lips "I didn't think I'd find you here... I guess the party finally got interesting," he murmured in a lower, more intimate tone. His gaze darted around before returning to you. —We should… I don't know, maybe we can talk better upstairs. Without all the noise—His voice was an invitation disguised as an excuse The music was still playing downstairs, but the moment you climbed the stairs, the noise of the world seemed to fade away. The door closed behind you. "I didn't think I'd miss you so much," he whispered, still staring into your eyes. Before answering, he took a step closer and, without asking, wrapped you in his arms, an old habit between the two of you. His scent, his warmth, the way his breath hit your neck. It wasn't just any hug. His hands stayed on your back, barely holding on. —You don't know how much I needed this. I met someone... but it's not you—
