Chapter Text
Love is something that nobody can truly comprehend, somebody like Quackity could never comprehend something as unique and beautiful as love. Love is something that comes with time, and over time it consumes you. Quackity on the other hand goes through lovers like a deck of cards. He doesn't know anything about true love. So many exes on the SMP could surprise anyone.
A selfless queen who would have offered and given him everything he needed but all in return, but they were found dead at the altar, no Quackity insight.
A dictator ram whose only goal was to control, he didn't care about Quackity, he didn't care about the nation, he drank himself to death and had a heart attack on the spot, he died in front of many.
A time traveler, even though Quackity didn't know it, was brighter than the sun and wished nothing but good to happen to the younger male, but things changed when his memory went hazy and he couldn't think clearly. He forgot Quackity and never spoke to him after his first canon death and labeled him a murderer .
A flame demon, he was with both Quackity and the time traveler, they loved each other so until the latter tore them apart. After not seeing Quackity in months he invited Quackity to his nation but a fight broke out and he was only watching as the two men he loved drifted further apart and he could do nothing about it.
A revived psychopath who blew up his own nation, ever since he entered Las Nevadas he's been close to Quackity and he's been trying to get closer. The two have such tension no one knows what the two are. In reality, Quackity hates the revived bastard and wants to plunge a sword right into his chest like the man's father did in the past. But he couldn't so all he could simply do was ban him from his nation.
Quackity was alone if that's how you could say it. He's been through enough things that he would just distance himself from things and people he only needed himself and his nation. He had a best friend at one point, he named him Charlie. He was great for a while but he shouldn't have gotten attached to the slime. His friend was murdered by one of the people who lived in Las Nevadas as an act of revenge because of what the older man did to him.
He felt nothing as he sat in his office day today. The grand opening of his nation was approaching and he had no way of preparing, his right-hand man was gone, and many of the others were busy but he knew they would be there for him, right ? He was just so busy barely getting any sleep and making sure everything was in place and everything there was correct.
He wasn't fully alone; he still had his friends and the people that stood by him. But the time came he wasn't actually friends with them he just manipulated them. For what reason? You may ask, for Power life's greatest achievement is to be powerful it doesn't matter in any other way. He was engaged to a king, not good enough , he was vice president, not good enough , he was ruling a nation with two of his Fiancés and his brother, not good enough , now he had a nation he ran fully by himself and he was the president; he was rich as well, it still wasn't good enough for him . He wanted more, he wanted control.
He tried to get the infamous 'Revive Book' many know about but the man wouldn't give it to him no matter what he did to him. So there he sat he felt powerless even though he was the exact opposite, the opening only being in a few days and the casino hasn't been fully finished and clear for actual people to come. He let out a sigh and grabbed the phone on the desk and dialed a number. The dial tone rang in his ear as he waited for the other man to pick up. He heard the other line get picked up and he heard the man's voice.
" Hello? Foolish speaking" The voice rings out. "Hey, Foolish it's Quackity" The male responded quietly. "Hey boss, what do you need?" Foolish asked the man. Quackity let out a chuckle, "Well I was wondering if you could help me set up the casino for the Grand Opening, I could use someone as strong and tall as you" Quackity replied with a laugh. He heard the man hum on the phone as he drummed his fingers on his desk. "Yeah sure I'll be there in a few" Quackity smirked at the answer, "Thanks man see you soon," He said hanging up the phone as he stood up and adjusted his tie.
"Hey, Char-" Quackity paused looking at the space next to him, it was hard to get used to the energetic slime being gone. As much as Quackity never admitted Charlie's jokes were actually some of the highlights of his day even if they did get annoying at times. He missed him, but that's why he never wanted to create any emotional attachments to anything, they ruin you. He stood up from his desk and made his way to the casino.
He walked into the building and saw the totem man right there already moving things, they didn't exchange any words they just cleaned and got things set up. Try getting all the work done there was no talking needed, that's how Quackity worked. The casino was nearly set up. Foolish moved some of the slot machines to the side to make room for some tables he placed down. Each table had a nice clean wight table cloth on it and it nicely contrasted with the red carpet.
Quackity sighed leaning on the table he just finished setting up. "Good job Q" Foolish got outstretching his muscles. "I should be telling you that" Quackity chuckled as the totem laughed. "Anyways I have to get a building finished bye boss see you in a few days" Foolish called out leaving the building Quackity nodded at the male and sighed. "I'm going to sleep for two days," he says touching the side of his face without the scar. His eye bags were a deep color so he knew he had to get some sleep… So he did, he went to bed, that was it, all the stress and work caught up to him as he collapsed in his bed and groaned into the pillow.
He wanted to sleep forever and not wake up to what was always waiting for him. This world was fucked nothing about it was okay but all you have to do is get through it it doesn't matter how horrible the world is you have to get through it because death would be so much worse.
Quackity was out for a while he had no motivation to get up he stayed in his clothing from the days prior. He just stared blankly at the dull gray ceiling as he messed with his tie he still had on. He let out a heavy sigh, it's probably been a day or two since he's actually done something but he knew he had to get up eventually. He sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose getting out of bed. He heard a knock on the door and heard a voice on the other side, “Boss! We need you to look at the preparations and approve for the opening tonight!” Quackity let out a sigh, “Yeah I’ll be down soon” He called back. He got out of bed and changed his clothes to look somewhat presentable. He stepped out of his room and walked to the casino, his shoes dusting in light coats of sand. He pushed open the doors to the casino and saw Foolish, Sam, and Fundy working on things. Sam seemed a lot calmer ever since he's been taking a break from his prison; he was just setting up some small things.
Quackity strode up to him and smiled lightly at him, "How are you doing Dad?" The taller male looked down at him, "I'm fine just a bit nervous" The creeper hybrid said sheepishly. "Nervous? That's unlike you, what's going on?" Quackity asked the male. He breathed out lightly, "Well I sent a letter to Ponk asking if he would want to be here tonight.. even after everything I've done she agreed and now I'm nervous" Sam admitted softly and the two could hear a laugh come from Foolish, "I bet it will go well it's going to be nice being the three of us together again, stop worrying" Foolish called out to the man who was sweating bullets. Quackity nodded, "Don't worry, it will be alright nothing bad will happen to ruin you three tonight" Quackity grinned with a wink, and Sam nodded.
Quackity looked around and saw Fundy struggling to carry a heavy crate filled with beverages Quackity made his way over and put his hands on the other side of the crate. "Need help?" Quackity asked as the fox nodded, "Yeah that would help out a lot Fundy said as Quackity helped him put the beverages on the table. Quackity pulled out some of the bottles of champagne and put them into the ice bucket and Fundy set up some of the nonalcoholic drinks. "Thanks," Fundy said quickly to the male while putting the cups up. "Yeah, no problem" Quackity responds finishing up the display. Quackity walked away from the table and clapped his hands, "Everyone good work! Please go home and fancy yourselves up and make sure to have fun tonight!" Quackity called out receiving grins, "Thanks boss you should go and do the same" Sam smiled as he exited.
Quackity watched as each member exited and he followed walking straight to his house. He needed to look nice tonight since he is the president of Las Nevadas so he went up to his room and pulled out a new white button-up shirt, he ditched his suspenders and wore a nice pair of black pants. Instead of his normal red tie, he wore a black one. Quackity took off his beanie and walked to the bathroom and looked at the mirror, he took some hair gel and smoothed back his hair, he slicked it back a little bit, but not too much to make it look super bad. He looked at the necklace around his neck that had two rings on it. He put it under his shirt and sighed. He banned Karl from his nation Sapnap was welcome to come but Q highly doubted he would. He looked at the mirror and sighed before turning to exit the room.
He stepped out of his room and began walking downstairs, he hoped this event would go well and nothing typically bad would happen. He decided to make it so it would be the sunset when the opening officially starts. He pushed the doors open to the casino and saw a few people there already. He saw Sam, Foolish, and Ponk talking with each other. His father had a nice forest green suit on while Foolish wore a simple black suit and a gold tie. The shortest one, Ponk, had a floor-length black dress with gold trim and details on it. He watched as the three would laugh sometimes Ponk would get angry with one of them and yell but she's a joy to be around. Fundy was accompanied by Tubbo and Ranboo, Tubbo had a green buttoned-down shirt and black pants while his husband wore a much fancier outfit, a deep violet suit with silver trim and a few extra details. Fundy was wearing something close to his normal attire but instead of a regular tie, he had an orange bowtie on.
Quackity grinned looking at the few that were here until he noticed someone sitting alone. Tommy , the young blonde, was accompanied by Wilbur whenever he came close to Las Nevadas. The older male walked over and sat next to him. "Hey Tommy, what are you doing alone?" Quackity asked. The blonde looked over and smiled a little, "Hey Big Q… it's nothin'. Wil got a little upset that he couldn't come and see you so he just told me to come and see what happens” Quackity nods, "Hey just because you were forced to be here doesn't mean you have to be alone, Go hang out with Tubbo and Ranboo" Q smiled a bit. "I would but they are with Fundy and it's still a bit awkward between me and him" Tommy mumbles. Quackity sighed, "Then go say sorry it's simple," He says softly patting the boy on the back. Tommy nodded, "Thanks Big Q" Tommy said with a small smile.
Quackity noticed quite a few more people entering the casino and he decided to get back up. He can admit that everyone looked pretty nice that night. And he smiled as he took a step onto the platform and beforehand Foolish handed him a microphone.
"Hello Good evening everyone, welcome to Las Nevadas for those who don't know this place. This is a city where you can gamble as much as your heart wants to and there are so many other activities you can do here!" Quackity says as the many guests in the room turned and looked at him. "So this isn't going to be as normal of a grand opening because simply I don't give a shit whether it's professional or not, so let's celebrate this opening by getting drunk and just having fun!" Quackity grins as everyone claps. "Have a wonderful night everyone" he says stepping off the platform. He put his microphone down on the nearest table as he heard many people talking around him.
He leaned on one of the beverage tables and looked around even though there were so many people he felt so alone . He watched as close friends and couples talked to each other. He wasn't jealous, just alone. He'd rather lose another canon life than try and get a partner again, he couldn't handle any more heartbreak even though he should've been used to it by now. He grabbed one of the bottles of champagne and poured it into the glass next to him.
He missed Charlie with his annoying jokes and stupid questions but he was closer than anyone else. The slime's innocence was unremarkable in the way he points at things and asks what it was or what they could do. But now he was gone due to something that could've been prevented. Looked into the champagne watching as the bubbles rose. He looked up and watched someone new come in. Quackity's eyes widened as he watched the person walk in and start talking to a group of people. She said hello to Foolish and hugged him and conversed with the other two of the group. She glanced over at Quackity, whose hand tightened around the glass and she shot him a smirk of all things.
"Eret…" Quackity mumbled softly.
