STRIPTEASE ✮ QUACKITY

035. awkward

"so, wilbur, how's your little sneaky link?" violet grinned.

"sneaky link?" wilbur asked, earning laughs from nadia.

after george's fun little stream, a bunch of the dream smp server just headed onto vc, just for small talk.

"frankie, dumb one."

"no. no, no, no, no."

"i hate her, they hate me, done deal."

"oh, sure." nadia snorted.

"nads, i want mcdonalds." violet spoke.

"get it yourself." nadia replied.

"asshole."

"fight, fight, fight, fight." dream whispered.

"sheesh, only here for the drama, are you, dream?" violet asked.

"okay, guys, i'm back, i just got some crisps." george said.

"crisps?!" nadia bursted out laughing.

"nads, did you forget we're surrounded by british people?" violet spoke.

"how could i forget, vi."

violet was genuinely having a good time, she didn't think about alex for a split second when she was talking to her friends.

she did get better, she slowly got more comfortable talking to them after that whole situation.

it was all good until the call heard a little sound, indicating someone joined.

"who joined?" violet asked, without looking at the screen.

no one said anything.

"what the fuck, guys, hello?"

"hey... quackity, how are you?" wilbur said.

sheesh, he took one for the team on that one.

violet slightly panicked.

"i'm going to the bathroom, guys." she spoke, muting herself, slumping onto her chair.

no one said anything for a couple minutes.

"hi, guys." alex finally spoke.

"hi." nadia replied, dryly.

"hello." karl chimed in.

"how are all of you?" george asked.

everyone replied with a simple 'good', before returning to silence.

"hey, guys, i need to talk to you about something." alex said, breaking the silence once again.

wilbur and karl hummed in response.

alex held back, he didn't know whether to let out his feelings or if he should keep them to himself, violet was still in the vc, anyway.

"hello? earth to alex? you were gonna talk to us about something?" nadia spoke.

"no, nevermind, i forgot." he lied.

violet unmuted, just to try to ease everyone into conversation again.

"hi, guys, what did i miss?"

"not a lot." alex replied, "i'm gonna go, i'll talk to you all later."

and then, alex left the vc.

"vi?" wilbur spoke, earning a hum from violet.

"you okay?"

"why?"

"um, hello? where were you the past like few minutes?"

"no, yeah, but, i don't see the problem."

"don't act like you weren't just crying over the man for five months." george said, munching on his chips.

"i'm not the type to hold grudges, i'm just waiting for him to come around when he's ready." violet explained.

"you hated brooklyn since high school, vi, you are the type to hold grudges."

"he's a capricorn, though." violet said, earning groans from everyone in the vc, making her laugh.

"talk to him, vi, if you're waiting for him then obviously you're doing something wrong." wilbur spoke.

"wilbur, weren't YOU the one who ruined the relationship because you didn't wait for your girlfriend? yeah, i thought so."

"i'm trying to help your stubborn arse."

"i can do what i want."

"i second wilbur, though."

"karl."

"i'm serious, he's too scared to talk to you himself."

"i'll think about it."
