/ TW: Mentions of eating disorders/SH /

W's POV

I was fully prepared to just walk back upstairs with Quackity, but no. Now I'm sitting here while my father looks at me with an almost undecided expression of remorse.

"Wilbur.. I noticed you didn't eat much at dinner. Is everything alright.?" Dammit.

"Dad, I- I swear I'm fine. You don't need to assume I'm depressed every time I'm not hungry..~"

"Wilbur please. That's what you said last time. I just- I love you. You know that, yeah? I just don't want my child starving himself for a reason I don't know of. Please tell me what's wrong, son." Phil looked to me with a desperate expression.

"I'm only a little.. self-conscious lately, It's fine. I'm not 'starving myself'.. May I go back upstairs now? I'm sure Alex is getting worried." I huffed, trying not to let how annoyed I was show in my voice. I'm glad he cares, but he cares too much & always makes such a big deal about my health..

"..Fine. But please, tell me if anything's wrong, alright? I don't want you to run away like.. like your mum did." I froze. Why would he say that?

"..I- I-.. Goodnight, father."  I trudged up to my room, still slightly disoriented at his statement. Why would he bring her up? He never brings her up, why now?

I opened the door to my room to find Quackity sleeping on my bed. God, how does that man sleep so much? Scoffing, I pushed him to the side a little so I could fit next to him, wrapping my hands around his waist and nuzzling into his shoulder. 

It made me giggle a bit at how small he was.. but I reached over and shut the light off. Making sure to cuddle into him a bit more, I stared down at him and wrapped myself a little further around him.

- hours later -

I had awoken to Quackity mumbling and shivering in his sleep, fully curled around me as I was sprawled on the bed. 

Quackity began to mumble 'dad' and tussle around a bit more in his sleep. I sighed again, hugging him even though hit made him flinch and immediately sit up yelling 'no'.

"Are.. Are you alright, Q.? Had a bit of a nightmare, there.." I could see a little bit of blush forming on his cheeks at how deep my voice still was, but it immediately faded once he shuddered again and lied back down to look at me.

"I.. I-I'm alright.. It was like you said, just a n-nightmare.."

Sighing again, I slowly and gently put my arms back around his waist and pressed a small kiss to his neck & one to his chest.

"It's alright now.. don't worry."
