🔥First Spark🔥

Firey despite how hard it had been, had always loved Leafy. It had started off within the small things she did for him during the competitions, up to when he had saved her from being crushed for stealing dream island.

And no matter what you might think, even after all of that and through bfb he found it hard to stop.

It didn’t make sense to him, how he could love her through her flaws. But maybe that was the rose tinted view he had. Despite telling himself over and over that they were just complicated friends.

Just…complicated

But when they finally sailed off to go find a new dream island together and came back as friends? Firey couldn’t help but fall in love even more, and felt his soul racing in circles at the thought of it

At the thought of his friend.

“Firey?”

A familiar voice called out to him as the flame blinked out of his mind only to look around and remember where they were in time,

A cool breeze blowing against them, as the stars above shined brightly, the moon’s light reflecting on Leafy as her eyes shined with worry

”Are you ok?”

She asked gently placing a hand on his.

The other blushed as he scooted back a bit in the boat and laughed nervously

“Oh yeah, I’m alright. Just tired.”

He lied as he glanced down avoiding eye contact

Leafy frowned at this and let out a small sigh as she crossed her arms and leaned back away from firey with a complex expression

The silence was deafening until finally the flame spoke back up

“Are..you ok?”

He asked quietly

Leafy glanced over wearily at him and let her arms fall to her sides as she huffed

“…firey..we’re friends right?”

He nodded confused

“Of course we are leafy.”

She frowned even more at him before finally glancing into his eyes

“Then why are you lying to me?”

She questioned sadly

”I thought you trusted me, and..I’ve noticed for awhile now that you always seem to be hiding something from me.”

A pause

“Did I do something wrong?”

At this the flames eyes widened as he shook his head rapidly and waved his hands defensively

“No, no of course not! We are friends, I promise.”

He blushed a little as he looked up at the sky

“It’s just..complicated”

”Why?”

“Leafy it’s not that easy to explain-“

“Are you saying I won’t understand? Because I know I will, dude.”

“That’s..that’s not quite it.”

”Then what is it??”

He stared back at her as she asked that question and felt his face grow warmer out of shame as he opened his mouth and then closed it before slowly scooting towards her and taking her hand in his gently and squeezing it

He offered a small smile to her as she smiled back the two quietly staring at one another before slowly he leaned in and pecked her lips softly and pulled back just as quick so she wouldn’t burn as her eyes widened and she yelped a bit at the pain and touched her mouth blushing

”oh..”

She muttered

“Yeah..”

He breathed out shakily

The rest of the boat ride silent as they stared at each other before finally drifting off

[cattypatties]

To infinity and Beyond

It couldn’t have happened any other way, Buzz knew that.

He knew it from the moment he met Bo peep and Woody, and he especially saw it in the cowboy’s eyes when Bo didn’t return that night.

So then there was now, now, right before the astronaut’s eyes was his best friend in the whole galaxy, ready to leave. Saying his goodbyes and such until finally he reached Buzz. The brunette staring down at the other with his warm chocolate eyes and with that all too familiar smile as gentle as ever…something in that smile making Buzz force his eyes to tear away and focus on the ground instead.

Despite his friend’s warmth Lightyear knew this would be the last he would ever see of him. Sure there would be other toys out there exactly like woody..hell he knows there were, but it would never be his woody. His Woody whom was brave and defiant, yet slightly brash and a bit of stickler, Woody whom was the first true friend he had..Woody who was now..leaving him.

Just like Andy had to go, now too Woody had found his place, and Buzz couldn’t be any happier..right?

So why did it feel horrible? Like Lotso had won kind of horrible?

Why did it feel as if ‘to infinity and beyond’ was just that? Infinity away from his entire galaxy. His friend. His…

“Buzz?”

Buzz snapped out of his thoughts as he looked up at the other sighing

It would be wrong to force him to stay. He knew that.

…he knew that.

So despite every part of him telling him no, he pressed the button on his chest as it said something that made his heart break

‘To infinity and beyond’

“Woody..I’ll miss you.”

He mumbled out finally after being quiet for a few minutes

The cowboy smiled once again and pulled the other into his warm embrace as the two stayed like that for awhile until eventually they pulled away as they heard the sound of the RV start up as they ran off

But as Buzz started to run, he found himself skidding to a stop and turning to see Woody and the other looking back at him

Before finally going off

Valentine

Peter Benjamin Parker.

Local intern of Tony stark at age 35.

An idiot at times.

And your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

—-

Wade Winston Wilson

A mercenary

With an amazing healing factor that makes even Logan jealous

God he’s the biggest fucking dork ever.

He’s also a bit vulgar.

——-

And somehow?

Somehow the two ended up falling in love.

—-

Valentine’s Day was today and Wade felt the need to impress.

He had been dating Peter for a few years, and every Valentine’s Day he felt the need to go even bigger. The reason being because Petey Pie was his special baby boy,

and because he was his hero.

All joking aside of the various nicknames Wade had, he genuinely wanted to do something to show Peter how much he cared.

The thing being for some reason, Valentine’s Day was always that one special holiday that fucked up his plans.

But it wasn’t going to happen this year.

Hopefully.

——-

Peter had found himself receiving mysterious texts throughout the day from his lover, unsure of what to make of the randomness of it all.

He was of course used to it, but he swore it made him feel a bit crazy at times too.

Still, he supposed it was the effort that counted.

Eventually those thoughts being pushed aside entirely as he headed off to patrol and run errands.

——-

By the time Wade had returned to their apartment, thankfully before Peter, he had found that for some god damn reason, Valentine’s Day decided to kick his ass again.

Not only had everything that could’ve gone, went horribly wrong, but the only thing he somehow managed to salvage for his beloved partner, was a single red rose. While the poor merc was partially on fire and his costume was torn

He felt awful, ashamed even. Spider-Man deserved better.

Peter deserved better

And get it seemed Wade could never provide, as he was about to sulk and give up completely he heard tapping on the window as he quickly hid the flower behind his back and walked over quietly and opened it as his partner

Hopped through and landed onto the ground.

Quickly he stood and pulled off his mask as he revealed a heart shaped box and handed it over to wade smiling

“Happy Valentine’s Day Wade, I know it’s not much..but I hope you like it.”

He said sweetly with a nervous chuckle, his smile lighting up the dim apartment.

Carefully, Wade tucked the rose in his back pocket as he took the box and opened it.

Inside being two chocolate figurines of them holding hands with a message in cursive above the figures saying

'𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚕𝚎 𝚖𝚘𝚜𝚝 𝚎𝚡𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙸'𝚟𝚎 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚖𝚢 𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚛𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎, 𝚒𝚜 𝚏𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚒𝚗 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚢𝚘𝚞.‘

As wade read the message over and over he felt his eyes begin to water as he took off his mask and tossed it aside rubbing at them quietly, a small smile on his face

“You’re so..sappy.”

He whispered

As he set the box aside before clearing his throat and composing himself

“Peter..”

He started, as brown beautiful swirls stared at him, his cheeks rosy with a small smile.

The merc feeling his chest tighten before managing out

“H-happy Valentine’s Day”

As he handed him the rose shakily and then retracted his hand as soon as Peter took it and clutched at his arm looking down

“I-I’m sorry it’s not anything special, I really tried and-“

He stammered out before suddenly Peter put the rose down gently and pulled Wade into a kiss as the other yelped out surprised before melting into it

The two staying like that for a few minutes before Peter pulled away and snickered

“Wade..”

He said softly as he cupped his cheek

“You don’t have to do anything grand for me, I’m just happy you love me.”

He mumbled softly pressing his forehead against the others.

“B-but-“

He tried to protests before the other silenced him again with another sweet kiss

“I love you.”

The brunette spoke, his words filling wade with so much joy

“I-I love you too.”

He replied, his heart racing as they embraced.

[cattypatties]

Angel fell, lifting a hand to his face after he sat up immediately, he froze up and went quiet, as tears fell, all of his fear setting in.

At the silent response, Val gripped him tightly by the throat nearly strangling him as he repeated angrily

Was all angel could reply with before Valentino dropped him to the ground like a ragdoll. Weakly he gathered himself crawling away as Val only muttered watching him, “That’s right, run back to that shit show hotel and hide like the coward you are.” He chuckled as he walked off, leaving Angel to slowly stand, as he immediately ran, passing through the crowded streets of hell, people cursing as he brushed against them, some even pushing him as he kept running. Eventually he reached the hotel and walked towards it, kicking open the door.

In that moment, it revealed Alastor, Charlie, and Vaggie chatting away, Charlie pointing at her list as Alastor only magically summoned what she needed, Vaggie watching Alastor like a hawk. When the door had opened, all three heads turned to see an out of breath angel dust, as Vaggie went over to scold him, Angel pushed her aside, a bit too roughly as Vaggie swore and Charlie yelled as she made her way over to vaggie.

Angel said nothing in that moment and kept walking, as he walked past Alastor, who only watched curiously as he disappeared down the hall, noting the trail of blood being left behind.

The moment he entered his room he grabbed the nearest item and chucked it across the room, causing it to break as he started to cry silently. His rage only got worse as he punched a hole in the wall and his movements became shakier and slower. He fell to the ground and buried his head in his knees as he sobbed, the blood staining the carpet and his clothes.

“F-FUCK!” he shouted out as he heard his voice crack and sat there hugging his knees closer to him.

“F-fuck...” he said more quietly..as he sat there for a bit, before feeling Fat Nuggets nudge against him after a few minutes of nothing. He opened his eyes and glanced down at him as he wiped at his eyes before sighing and picking up the small animal and holding him close. Fat Nuggets only cuddled into Angel’s chest fluff, as the Spider smiled a bit, before the sharp pain shot through him again as he groaned. The world started to blur as he heard the traffic outside and the familiar screams and chaos. He felt his eyelids grow heavy as he fell asleep, his breathing short and his body rising and falling in rhythm.

///////////////////////////

A loud sound startled him awake as he flinched into a defensive position, despite still being on the floor. He looked around feeling his heart speed up, his eyes rapidly wandered and only after double checking multiple times he finally relaxed himself.. before taking a shaky breath and rubbing at his eyes. “It’s ok...” he reassured himself as he spoke. He slowly opened his eyes and as his vision cleared he flinched.

“A-Alastor??” He said backing away slightly at how close the demon was to him.

Alastor blinked and opened his mouth as his staticky voice came out.

“Hell-

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?!” angel interrupted, angrily feeling a mix of emotions.

“-o..” Alastor finished, his smile faltering before returning. “Right. Well, I couldn’t help but notice the predicament you seem to be in my dear..” Angel froze feeling his chest tighten reaching for his eye to hide the blood when suddenly as he placed his hand where it should’ve been, it was perfectly fine, almost as if it was magically healed..

“w-Wha-“ he pondered aloud feeling his eyes widen as his hand kept searching and prodding, only for Alastor to grab it and lower it much to angel’s surprise. The radio demon let go immediately upon seeing his reaction and glanced away. “I’m assuming you didn’t want the others to see, so.. I figured I’d do you a favor and heal you up.” Alastor stated, feeling the other’s eyes in him. Angel fell silent as he clutched his arms tight and scooted back as far as he could, he frowned as he kept his eyes trained on the ground as his mind started to wander because the thing was it’s not like he was ungrateful for the gesture, but it was so unexpected and so unprecedented that he felt vulnerable now..and what made it worse was that now..Alastor..the all powerful radio demon knew..and could blackmail him. Of course these thoughts had been going on for a bit longer than angel would’ve hoped for because immediately he was snapped out of them by Alastor speaking his name.

“Angel.”

“Y-yeah?” He said absentmindedly, as he felt his hands start to play with each other as his eyes darted around the room, trying to keep his focus elsewhere. Alastor was visibly frustrated at this point, from what Angel caught glimpse of, out of the corner of his eye. Then the unexpected happened, Alastor sighed into his hands as he leaned into his lap groaning. This caught Angel’s attention immediately as he quickly turned and saw red eyes meet his. He felt his face heat up slightly as he stared for a bit longer waiting for the other to speak.

“Look.. I’m not great with this whole comfort thing and I know we’re not even really that close..but I know when something is wrong, and even though we don’t get along, Charlie would feel a lot better knowing her only client wasn’t feeling like this, So..”

He made a little gesture at Angel almost as if he was embarrassed. At this, angel smiled.

“..thank you.” He said as he pulled alastor in for a tight hug, much to his own and alastor’s disbelief. Alastor’s eyes went wide as static filled them with a clock and a weird crackling sound happened. He froze, his arms slightly lifted in hesitation, before his thumping heart calmed down a bit..before slowly patting Angel on the back awkwardly.

“But you didn’t even say what was wrong.” He stated as Angel pulled away.

“didn’t need to.” He said

Abandon

Note that this takes place in chapter one and that instead of fighting jevil, kris goes back with the fixed key and gives it to seam

——————

As tattered rags swayed with the following steps down the long staircase and his tail swayed to and fro, Seam felt a familiar sense of dread, he knew what he was walking towards and whomst was awaiting him. The reason being, he was the very person who had locked them away.

As he got closer and closer, the old cat felt his fur prick up. In one of his clenched hands a key, the lightners had returned to him when they fixed it instead of proceeding on their own and sold the key back to him.

And part of him wished they hadn’t.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he slowly glanced up from the ground, having kept his eyes trained on it the whole way down, as he felt his chest tighten, and the stitches start to unravel due to the stress.

It was odd..being allowed back into the castle after all of this time. Especially considering who he was, and had been in the eyes of the King. Still, maybe it was fate? Maybe..he was meant to come back after all this time.

It’s not like it was everyday the Lightners had come by to visit the Darkners and yet, it could’ve been anyone else who had gotten tangled up.

It could’ve been anyone who wasn’t as close to the court jester.

It should’ve been.

But alas, it just had to be Seam, of course it had to be.

And then..? It was not even two steps forward when he had suddenly heard it.

A familiar voice, so echoey and malicious..yet playful.

Music to his ears.

“Back again? Again! How funny, for a moment there I assumed you had left me, me!”

Seam paused once he processed the words, and sighed.

Despite missing him, Seam knew he was probably expecting the Lightners and not him.

In fact, he’d honestly prefer the Lightners over him. The old shopkeeper felt memories flash before his one eye.

The moment Jevil had gone completely insane in one of their routines, how he had rushed towards him, then the impact.

Seam swallowed, stepping closer as moved his arm upward toward the cell, still clenching the key in his paw, before a gloved hand placed itself on his, stopping him from going any further.

“Seam?”

All former amusement and excitement disappeared from the jester’s voice as the cat’s ears lowered behind him.

“Greetings Jevil.” He managed to whisper back shakily as he slowly pushed his hand forward even more, getting it into the lock.

“What are you doing? Doing..”

Seam’s mouth turned into a hardened frown, as he glared at the lock

“Something I should’ve perhaps done a long time ago.”

The key was turned as the lock clicked and the key disappeared as a small door in the bars appeared and opened.

The stuffed cat took a few steps back as his hands clenched tighter, and his chest tightened more.

The only thing keeping his old friend at bay now gone as Seam waited in anticipation, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

He glanced away almost instantly as he got into a defensive position and shut his one eye as he swallowed. Arms blocking his head until suddenly he felt small hands on his arm.

He flinched slightly and lowered them to see Jevil floating above him looking at him with a new expression.

The jester’s eyes watering as he stared at the cat in disbelief.

“Y-You came back to me..me..”

He said softly, his voice cracking a bit as he sniffled and he slowly floated away and toward the ground, the much shorter of the duo now staring at him in slight horror.

Seam relaxing just a tad, still rather tense as he watched carefully.

“Yes..I did.”

He said still rather quiet.

“W-Why? I thought you hated me..me..”

Seam’s one eye widening as he saw Jevil tear up more, as he quickly waved his hands.

“No! No! I-I-“

He stammered out as his voice got caught in his throat.

It had been decades..what on earth was he supposed to say?

‘Sorry’?

‘Sorry for locking you up because of your insanity? And leaving you to fall further into madness’?

He..couldn’t.

Seam’s face started to flush the more he thought about it as he kneeled down in front of Jevil and simply pulled him into a tight hug and whispered apologies despite how dumb it might’ve been.

Jevil freezing up as his eyes widened and he blushed, vision becoming blurry with the tears as he closed them and hugged back.

“You.. what? What..?”

“I’m sorry…”

He repeated

Jevil nodding as he sighed

“Please..don’t leave me again..again..”

“I won’t. I promise.”

My Wish

“A unicorn that can grant wishes if you touch it? How original.”

——————

He remembered saying that a while ago, around 2 years ago actually. Of course, at the time he didn’t think much of it, I mean…why would he?

It was just a stupid comment about one of the many scripts that had been assigned to the rabbit for an episode of the “New Looney Tunes Show” not to be confused with “Looney Tunes Cartoons” or even “The Looney Tunes Show”, obviously.

And of course since they were all toons, that unicorn? Was real, much like any of them were. Not like humans per say with the actual physics, but it could theoretically exist outside of some computer software.

The magic included.

Now, typically these types of things never interested Daffy. I mean since 1937 the Duck had found himself just doing what he was required to do, even trying to go further beyond to prove his worth, which of course never worked out in his favor anyway. Still, the point being, Daffy never found a reason to be bothered with anything else.

All he really focused on was his job and this isn’t to say he never batted an eye at anything else in life on the ServerVerse, of course not! He had been on plenty of adventures in his life and had a plethora of companions.

It was just…a bit hard when everyone seemed to always overshadow you.

And they didn’t mean it, they only wanted the best for you.

But that's another story for another time, instead let’s backtrack.

“A unicorn that can grant wishes if you touch it? How original.”

And why in particular was this so special? Why on earth would Daffy care for this one off character in a show that ended a while ago?

Well…

Let’s just say it was because of what had happened a few months ago.

————————

But before we get into all of that, let’s focus on fundamentals.

…

That sounds awfully familiar right?

Well either way, in order to understand the story ahead, we need to understand the individual.

The hero.

Bugs Bunny, though he had many titles.

Leader, Star, Mascot, and many more, though we don’t have all the time in the world for that.

And he was well known by all means, practically the face of the company itself besides that big shield.

Humble, slightly cocky with a Brooklyn accent and an iconic catchphrase and wit to present itself against any foe and come out on top?

Yeah, no wonder everyone loved him.

He was perfect.

His eyes especially, a golden honey color that reminded you of an angel’s halo, with his soft grey and white fur that was absolutely radiant in the warm sunshine. His cute little red nose that twitched. Sometimes when he was curious he’d glance around like a child and let out his adorable laugh that sounded like a sweet symphony and ended with a smile that could light up the entire room.

Needless to say, when Daffy fell in love with him for the first time, he fell hard.

————

So..

Why the unicorn?

Well..the answer to that…is rather complicated, but I’ll tell you anyway.

———————

A choice.

That’s why he needed the unicorn.

Because it had been a choice that his damn rabbit made that ended the game.

A glitch.

Sometimes the Duck wished he had never spoken, but lo and behold, he had never realized what an impact his words had until that fateful day.

“In and out”

He hated it.

How simple the plan was anyway, and he supposed it should’ve been clear as day with the expressions Bugs was making, but foolish Daffy simply thought he had been worried for Lebron’s sake.

“Crossover, Stepback..”

He remembered how everyone immediately reacted, their breaths being caught in their throats, Lola running towards him to try and stop him.

“Shoot.”

What else was there to say?

When he glitched out, the game continued, and they won.

They won and then he glitched out and disappeared from Lola’s arms.

——————

So that led back to now.

Daffy walked around in the forest, his eyes watering, with each and every step he took a flash of Bugs doing the accursed step back glitch.

The sunshine peeked through the treetops above, as a gentle breeze brushed past the duck.

Daffy having been restless since Bugs..glitched out. So, he had been wandering.

All over TuneWorld in hopes of finding that unicorn, everyone already having accepted the rabbit to be long gone. Some tried to stop the duck because they knew it would only be more painful when he failed.

But even then, the duck shut them out completely, fully refusing to accept it.

Because it had left him restless.

The first night, Daffy thought it was just a bad dream.

Around the tenth night Daffy had not slept in a while by then.

And by now? The duck had decided to take action.

So yeah, he was hoping to find that unicorn, just one wish.

That’s all he wanted.

He just wanted one wish, one damn wish that made his heart flutter, that made his life better.

One wish that he took for granted in the past, but would never again.

Until suddenly it had turned night as Daffy’s heart sank.

How long had he been searching hopelessly for a miracle?

He glanced down to see his webbed feet covered in dirt and leaves as he sighed, before walking over to a nearby pond and seeing his reflection, his feathers all messy and his eyes clearly missing out on sleep. He frowned before seeing his hands also slightly bruised as he felt the tears from his eyes finally fall, down into the water below his reflection turning into that of ripples as he fell to his knees and cried softly, the duck moving to sit down normally as he pulled his knees to his chest and buried his head into them.

It was stupid.

So stupid how he thought, that he, Daffy Duck, could find that unicorn.

He felt absolutely idiotic, and he had been at this, for weeks.

But she wasn’t anywhere to be found.

And he wouldn’t get that wish.

No matter how badly he wanted it.

——————-

He didn’t know when he drifted off, he didn’t exactly care either.

When he had awoken, he noticed of course he was still near that pond, as he glanced around to see it was really dark out.

Daffy shifted as he slowly moved to stand, before glancing around the dark forest, small parts lit up by the moonlight, until suddenly he saw it.

An outline of which looked to be the unicorn. The duck’s eyes widening as adrenaline filled him and he immediately ran towards her.

His heart rate picked up, as he sprinted, lungs burning and legs aching, but he didn’t care.

Her figure started to dash off, as a surge of newfound determination coursed through him. Picking up his speed, he jumped over fallen trees, and ducked underneath branches, as he kept going, pushing himself to go even faster.

‘Come on’

He thought his vision started to blur from the tears forming in his eyes again, his chest tightening even more.

‘Please’

His mind begged, his voice caught in his throat.

The duck got closer and closer, until suddenly…

He tripped, just outside of the forest into a large field, the unicorn galloping away, until out of sight into the darkness.

Daffy hit the ground hard when it happened, bruising his bill as he quickly pushed himself up before seeing she was gone as he felt everything collapse onto him as he yelled out in anguish and clenched his hands into fists, pounding them onto the ground.

Again, again, and again.

Over and over.

Until he couldn’t feel his hands anymore as he broke into heavy sobs

He missed him

He missed his one chance at getting him back.

And there was nothing he could do.

The duck feeling his heart break into a million pieces all over, the small ounce of hope he felt shattered.

And he didn’t care anymore.

Not about anything.

He just wanted to see him one more time, and because of his stupid luck he wouldn’t.

He wouldn’t ever see Bugs again.

And that broke him.

Eventually however, his sobs did die down. His breathing slowed and his throat was hoarse. The toon wiping his eyes as he sighed shakily.

Until suddenly as he leaned back he felt something against him as he turned to see the unicorn, and he stumbled backwards.

“B-but how- I thought- you just-“

He stammered looking between her and where he thought she went, his brain wracking for an answer until finally he fell back onto the grass groaning

“Ugh, of course the universe wants to pull this crap with me.”

He grumbled, as he huffed.

The unicorn smiled as she leaned down and nuzzled against his face and he smiled weakly petting her face, as he sighed.

“Alright, enough of this..emotional turmoil.”

He said quietly before he stood up and kept his hands on her face as he looked to her

“Ok..um, hi.. uh..”

He stumbled over his words now feeling a new anxiety rise in him

“Just..I-I wish..for..”

He closed his eyes taking a deep breath trying to steady himself, as he shook slightly, his heart racing as he felt his face flush.

“I wish..for Bugs Bunny to be alive.”

He said quietly squeezing his eyes shut and waiting

His nerves flying through the roof, until suddenly he opened his eyes and she was gone as he looked around desperately, to see nothing as he felt fear slowly taking him over

“No, no, no, no, please—“

He whispered, voice shaking, until suddenly…

“Eh, what’s up Duck?”

Daffy pausing his panic, as he felt his face warm up, and his eyes water and he turned to see the the rabbit right behind him, with the same smile, and the same relaxed expression and most of all the same beautiful eyes as Daffy felt himself grin as he lunged at him and the two fell the ground laughing as Daffy pulled him close Bugs patting him on the back as they embraced.

“You’re back!” He cried, tears streaming down his face as he continued laughing in utter joy and disbelief

“Y-you're really here!”

Bugs smiling more as his nose twitched

“Aw shucks Daff, if I had known you’d be this sappy, I wouldn’t have left.”

He teased slightly, as the duck’s face flushed more and he pulled back half glaring at him as he lightly punched the rabbit’s arm

“Oh shut up already, would you? This is your fault smartass!” He said chuckling

Bugs smiled gently at him as he rolled his eyes before moving to wipe away Daffy’s tears.

Daffy leaned into the touch, smiling stupidly as the rabbit smoothed down his feathers and got rid of most of the dirt on him.

Eventually the duo standing as Daffy sighed in relief

“God you have no idea how much I missed you, we got to go tell the others!” He said quickly perking up as he grabbed the rabbit’s hand as the two sped off.

——————

The reunion amongst the toons being that of the most sappy heartfelt thing ever as everyone practically tackled Bugs, much like Daffy had.

And as the group eventually got back into the swing of things, a month had passed and everything seemed to go back to normal. Although Daffy wasn’t exactly getting sleep still.

Nightmares having never stopped plaguing him, as the duck one day found himself sitting down on a stone wall, outlooking the same field where he had wished Bugs back.

He sat criss cross on top, resting his elbows in his lap as he had his head in his hands, and the sunlight shined upon the grass below, a soft breeze gently blowing the blades of grass.

A beautiful blue sky up above as the tired duck looked out upon it.

Until suddenly his eyes were covered by soft silky gloves as he smiled a bit, chuckling

“Oh gee, I wonder who this is?”

He asked sarcastically as he heard the sweet sound of Bugs' laugh escape the rabbit’s mouth.

“How’d you guess already?”

He asked, removing his hands as he sat down next to Daffy smiling like an idiot.

Daffy glancing over as he shrugged with a slight smirk

“Call me crazy, but..I’m thinking it’s because you’re the only one childish enough to do that.”

He said, Bugs in response laughing again as he leaned his head on the duck’s shoulder looking up at him

“Actually doc, I tink I prefer to call you Daffy.”

Daffy, feeling his face flush from the contact as his heart raced and he groaned a bit, rolling his eyes.

“What a comedian you are.” He said softly

The duck then turned back to the field before he felt his hand being taken by the rabbits and intertwined with his. As he glanced back over face turning redder as he raised a brow.

“W-whatcha doing there pal?”

He asked nervously.

The grey bunny looked back at the duck, seemingly having been focused on the field too.

“Whatever do you mean?” He asked, with a slight shit eating grin on his face as Daffy felt his face burn even brighter

“Oh you smug son of a—“

Bugs only grinning more as he sat up now, and moved his free hand to place one finger on the duck’s bill effectively silencing him as he chuckled.

“Eh, sorry Mac, but I only let you get away with it the foirst time because it was after hours, we have to keep it PG for the kids.”

Daffy glaring silently at him before removing his hand with his free one and huffing

“Yeah yeah, I know bucktooth.”

He said before eventually looking down to see Bugs having also intertwined their other hands, now both sets intertwined together as Daffy went back to being a blushing mess.

“J-just what the heck do you think you’re doing?!” He harshly said, though his burning face gave him away as Bugs only smirked.

“Just having some fun duck, don’t mind me”

He said watching the shorter toon turn even redder as he snickered slightly.

Daffy feeling his heart dance and do backflips as he sighed enjoying the feeling of having Bugs hands in his own, as he smiled softly, his feathers puffing a bit, before remembering the golden eyes on him as he hastily let go and backed up face on fire.

All the while Bugs only watched him lovingly.

Eventually however, Daffy felt his chest tighten as he thought about the rabbit before him, how carefree he was..and while it was nice having him back…Daffy knew that while not likely, there was a small chance of Bugs disappearing on him again, as he slowly found the courage to look at him and moved closer.

“Uh..hey Bugsth?”

The rabbit’s ear flicking as he looked to him as his smile faded a bit

“Yeah?”

“Um.. I uh.. well..for the longest time I—“

“Daffy.”

“Y-yeah?”

“You’re trying to confess right?”

“W-what?! N-no!”

“Yeah, you are.”

“No I’m not!”

“Yeah.”

“No!”

“Yeah”

“NO!”

“No.”

“YEAH!”

“No.”

“YES I AM YOU SCREWY RABBIT! I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH YOU SINCE YOU FIRST KISSED ME ON THE FOREHEAD IN THAT ONE EPISODE WE DID AND- I-I-“

Daffy pausing now standing upright as his eyes widened and he looked to Bugs, who now went back to the same relaxed, smug expression on his face as the duck gawked at him

“Y-you- j-just-“

“Uh huh.”

“I-I-“

“Yep.”

Daffy glaring before his face burned a thousand times brighter and he put his face into his hands groaning loudly as Bugs only laughed

“YOU ARE SO- ARGH!”

He yelled out as he marched up to the rabbit pressing a finger into his chest as Bugs only smirked at him, raising a brow

“I’m so what? Handsome?”

He teased again as Daffy only yelled out louder at him as Bugs smiled before pulling him into a kiss as the duck paused and felt his legs wobble beneath him before melting into the kiss blushing brighter as the two stayed like that before eventually pulling back as Bugs gently pet Daffy’s cheeks with his thumbs.

“You’re despicable.”

He growled but with a slight lightheartedness to it, Bugs only shrugging as he said

“Eh, it ‘‘twas your wish doc.”

Son of a glitch

⚠️ MAJOR SPOILER WARNING FOR SPACE JAM NEW LEGACY ⚠️

Al-G: blue, Lola: pink, Bugs: italics, Daffy: normal, LeBron: Green, Dom: purple

———————————

“That no good despicable son of a glitch!”

Daffy yelled, throwing his clipboard on the ground huffing angrily, as he felt his feathers stand up.

As the others watched him, Dom seemed to pause as a slow look of realization came upon his face. Before he looked at LeBron eagerly.

“Yo! That’s it, your move Dad!”

Cried out the young boy, as Daffy glanced over, raising a brow and for some reason felt something deep inside him grow. As a new feeling of anxiety took over and he tuned in.

“Remember? The step back glitch! In and out, crossover..”

LeBron’s face slowly lit up as he realized too and spoke with Dom.

“Step back, shoot.”

They finished as Dom grinned a tiny bit, before he continued

“That move froze my whole game!”

“And that’s good because?” LeBron asked curiously

“If the game crashes, AL-G won’t be able to control it anymore..”

And in that moment the Duck felt that sinking feeling grow as he glanced over to see Lola pipe in.

“And if he can’t control it, he can’t stop us from scoring!”

And as everyone seemed to start getting their hopes up, they started cheering, all except for Dom whose face turned from relief to quiet terror.

“Wait..that’s not going to work.”

“Why not?”

“When my character did the Step Back, it got… deleted.”

And as it sunk in more Daffy felt his eyes flick about nervously before asking hesitantly

“S-So..whoever does the glitch move..?”

He pulled at his tie, feeling his whole body go cold.

“Will get deleted.”

Finished Dom, as he looked down. Daffy looked away as he felt the anxiety finally suffocate him in the dark as his breathing faltered, from then on most of the others voices became blurs, as meaningless suggestions were brought up.

One after another, after another.

Because here’s the thing.

Daffy never meant to leave Bugs behind for the amazing new worlds Al-g offered him, in fact he thought for sure Bugs would come with them, but when he didn’t and days became weeks, and weeks became years, he had lost hope of ever seeing Bugs again. He had lost hope of seeing a lot of people again.

He hadn’t meant to be..selfish. To just, blast away into the Server-Verse far away from everyone. But he was sick of the same old routine and when Al-g came by Daffy was at a low point. He was sick of always being in Bugs’ shadow. He was sick of always being…forgotten. He wanted to be something more, do something more.

And so at the time it seemed like a perfect opportunity to become a hero.

He had always wanted that after all…

It’s just…

….It’s funny how quickly it turned into a living nightmare without Bugs there.

The countless nights he spent awake staring up at the sky, wondering if Bugs was looking back from their home, wondering if Bugs even remembered him.

He knew for a fact that he sure did.

After all, Bugs was the love of his life despite how odd it was, knowing that he wasn’t meant to have these feelings, perhaps it was a minor error in his system?

Well..that was in the past anyway…

Now? Now, he wished he never even listened to Al-g.

However, there was no use in dwelling over it for too long. So as the Duck snapped out of his thoughts he watched LeBron state he wanted to do the Step Back.

And of course he gasped because, wasn’t the whole point to get back to his son and live a normal life? Just win and save everyone without getting hurt?

And for a moment he paused and glanced over to Bugs seeing his expressions shift, before LeBron brought in their hands together, Daffy feeling everything within him freeze up.

“Tune squad on 3!”

“1, 2, 3!”

So, as LeBron started walking out onto the court everyone got into position, Al-g standing right in front of LeBron as he grinned, chuckling quietly and leaning in for only LeBron to hear.

“Yeah this is fun huh?”

“We can just do it again and again and again.”

“Over and over and over for all eternity…How’s that sound?”

LeBron only kept silent watching him, before the announcers spoke, the cheers around everyone growing louder, the tension thick.

Before Lola caught the ball getting ready to pass it, as Bugs mainly eyed it, swallowing.

And all at once it happened as Pete blew the whistle, LeBron and Al-G blocking each other off, in a scramble to get the ball, as Lola passed it over only for Bugs to jump in the way as he ran off towards the opponent's side of the court, shaking.

Daffy stared wide eyed knowing fully well what Bugs was doing before he himself yanked off his jacket and pulled up his sleeves and booked it over leaving behind his clipboard as he tackled Bugs and grabbed the ball from him rolling off.

Bugs falling hard as he rubbed his head and bounced back up and turned to Daffy confused and scared

“Daffy?! What are you doing?!”

He shouted panicking his whiskers tangling as he chased after the little black Duck, before Lola tackled him from behind

“Bugs don’t you dare!” She shouted pinning him down from behind as Bugs squirmed and kicked desperately

“Lola let go of me! He’s in danger! He’s gonna get himself killed!”

He shouted louder, trying so hard desperately as he glanced up and caught eyes with Daffy who grinned at him weakly before he got into position.

And seemingly when he did the world froze.

“In and out..”

The Duck said dribbling as he sweat keeping his hands as steady as he could

“DAFFY!”

Bugs' voice cried out desperately, the rabbit kicking more, as a few more toons jumped on him trying to keep him down, Bugs eyes filling with tears as he reached desperately for his friend.

“Crossover..S-Stepback..”

He continued, feeling the adrenaline surge inside as he swallowed. Heart racing as his hands became cold. Daffy knew fully well this would be it, the end as he glanced one more time at Bugs who still despite his position kept trying to reach.

“See you on the other side pal.”

He whispered, as Bugs eyes widened more and he shook his head frantically before Daffy jumped in the air

“Shoot.”

The glitch move, complete as LeBron ran after the ball, heart racing as he and Al-G jumped up in the air, the two racing for it as Dom chased after them.

LeBron jumped up to dunk the ball, as he grabbed it, before Dom raced and grabbed the last power up and tossed it like a frisbee giving his dad the boost he needed to score the final point.

The final dunk made as everyone was sent home, the audience cheering loudly, as the toons turned back, before Lola and the others couldn’t hold Bugs back any longer as he sprinted over to Daffy, sliding on his knees as the Duck fell right into his arms Bugs’ ears drooping as he stared at him horrified

“No, no, no, no, no!”

He whispered eyes tearing up as he pulled him closer

“D-Doc, what did you do?”

He asked shaking slightly, before feeling movement as Daffy opened his eyes and looked up at him and grinned chuckling very weakly

“C-couldn’t let you get all the attention rabbit..”

Daffy whispered, shrugging, as the others came over and surrounded them. LeBron and Dom joined as Bugs looked up at him and he looked back. The two gave a silent nod before Daffy spoke up again.

“You better be the best father you can be once you’re gone.”

Daffy remarked teasingly as the basketball player nodded quietly

“Thank you guys..”

He said quietly before he and Dom disappeared, the world around them going back to normal as everyone watched happily before Daffy glitched and they turned back worriedly. Bugs gripping onto him tighter

“Don’t go..please.”

He whispered looking at Daffy shaking, as his eyes filled with even more tears. Daffy watches him silently before smiling up at him softly.

“Bugsth..”

He glitched again as everyone got closer, quietly.

“I’m sorry..”

He said as he leaned up and pecked Bugs on the cheek gently before he closed his eyes and he faded into a bright light, disappearing.

Bugs still kneeling there quietly, arms shaking as his hands clenched into tight fists and he fell forward and sobbed, shaking violently with each breath he took. Every moment he had, and every memory he shared. The silence absolutely killed him.

Because he had failed.

And now..Daffy was gone.

And the world felt even darker than before.

And much, much colder.

Tired

It was nearly the afternoon as a certain head of a grey bunny peeked out of a hole, stretching his arms up and yawning a bit, before scratching his back and humming. The rabbit glanced about the area, spotting a trail of nails leading deeper into the forest, the blue sky above him hidden behind the billions of trees surrounding him, the trees themselves, feeling like they went upwards for miles. He slowly pulled himself out before going to follow the trail left behind.

Meanwhile, A familiar duck hammered a sign onto one of said trees, before he heard the sound of footsteps approaching him, stopping to listen.

“You know dis is stupid, right?”

Came the mocking voice of a certain rabbit, from behind the Duck as he groaned. Daffy turned to face down his opponent as the both of them locked eyes.

“Not as stupid as that hunter is for falling for it every single time.”

“You got a point doc, Fudd tends to be more soup for brains, than he seems. Especially with a head as bulbous as ‘is.”

“We can at the very least, agree on that.”

Daffy muttered, turning back to the sign and hammering it in fully, before seeing the rabbit’s expression, as he raised a brow.

“What?”

“..Nothing.”

Bugs replied almost immediately, catching the toon off guard, as the rabbit fidgeted slightly. His hands moved together as they clasped and unclasped, as he looked away, seemingly spacing off.

The raven feathered duck watched his rival, as a new feeling inserted itself into him, the new feeling unusual to him. It felt almost like guilt and anxiety, but the thing was, he had felt this emotion before.

Concern.

Usually when feeling concern, he had only felt it for himself, not others. To him, it felt as if this was a level up of what he already had, but now it was directed at Bugs. Just because of the fact that seeing the Bunny act so off, it just..scared him.

However, despite his swirling anxiety, he decided to focus on what they were doing. So, as he finished with the sign, he turned to see Elmer lurking nearby as he tossed aside his supplies, and went to stand next to Bugs. As the barrel of the gun was aimed right at the rabbit’s heart.

“I got you now, you screwy wabbit!”

Bugs in response, oddly enough remained quiet. No witty remarks, no greeting, just silence. Of course this left both Elmer and Daffy feeling awkward, as Daffy pulled the barrel of the gun towards him.

“Don’t shoot him! Shoot me! It’s duck season you nimrod!”

Daffy said quickly, to try to gain some sense of normalcy.

Fudd nodded quickly as he aimed and blasted Daffy in his face, his bill flying off as it hit a tree and got stuck in it. He almost sighed in relief, the tension lessening, before he glanced at Bugs again, hopeful he had snapped out of it.

Except, he didn’t.

This wasn’t how it was supposed to go, I mean, where was the fun in any of this if Bugs didn’t cooperate? In fact, it seemed as if Bugs was spacing out for a majority of their encounter so far, making the shorter of the three of them grow more concerned.

Daffy shook his head quickly, opting to go fetch his bill as he placed it back on, walking back over to Bugs, as he excused them from Fudd.

“Bugsth? Bugsthy, old pal, can you snap out of it?? What’s wrong with you?!”

He harshly whispered to his friend, gripping him by the shoulders.

Which did seem to do the trick, Bugs snapping out of it, now looking to Daffy eyes wide.

“…Daffy?”

He responded groggily, the Duck’s grip loosening slightly.

“Yeah. It’s me, but seriously what is up with you?”

Daffy asked, unable to hide the genuine worry in his voice.

Bugs simply raised a brow, shrugging the Duck off.

“Eh, I’m fine doc, just a bit dazed.”

Daffy doubted his words, even going so far as to reach out again, before pulling back and shaking his head.

“Right..but if you start to freeze up again, don’t expect me to snap you out of it.”

He said, walking past Bugs, out to Fudd again before Bugs grabbed his wrist.

Daffy pausing as he turned to face Bugs.

“Um..Bugsth?”

“I..feel a bit tired of our routine, can we maybe..do dis another day?”

Daffy looked at Bugs, as he glanced at him, now able to see upon closer inspection, Bugs looked miserable, even going so far as to say depressed. However, Daffy knew it would be better not to question it, as he nodded silently and went to Fudd.

Eventually leaving Daffy and Bugs as Bugs trudged all the way back to his home, dragging his legs behind him, holding his head.

Daffy followed behind him as the two hopped down into his burrow, Bugs immediately flopping into his bed. Daffy went over as he sat on the edge watching, before the rabbit pulled him down to lay next to him, the poor duck trapped underneath Bugs’ arm.

The two of them eventually drifted off, cuddling into each other.

Gone

Part 1

⚠️ MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING OF SPACE JAM NEW LEGACY⚠️

There he was in front of him. All his closest friends, surrounding him as they had transformed back into toons. Daffy was of course the second to run over, seeing as how in a moment of celebration, he was looking for a hug, but once he made his way over to Bugs, he saw Lola holding him.

And Bugs? He looked weak. Very, very weak, the bags under his eyes making themselves known as the raven feathered duck felt a wave of guilt wash over him slowly because now he realized all in one cruel moment...Bugs.. was dying.

Bugs Bunny.

The love of his life, his bestest friend, his..dearest and closest family.

Gone in what seemed like only a few minutes at best, and he wasn't ready for that. There was still so much he needed to do, that he needed to say.

He wasn't ready to let go of him, not yet.

Bugs Bunny had been alone for years, all alone in Toonville and the more Daffy thought about it, the worse he felt. After everything the two had been through..Daffy left him. No hesitation, no second guessing because he knew Bugs would be fine, he thought he would..he told himself..he would.

But he wasn't. Bugs had been pushed around and over (by Daffy for the latter) when they had left him. And the moment they came back? They did it again.

And the more time Daffy spent thinking over everything that had happened, the worse he felt. Genuine guilt wasn't something that he usually felt, no remorse, no nothing. Sure, he wasn't an emotionless monster, but..god if he didn't feel like one right now.

So as he watched Bugs being held by Lola, his life getting closer to an end, he knew what he had to do. It wasn't going to be easy either, for he wasn't meant to be in love with the rabbit. Not at all, but he put on the bravest face he could muster anyway and he gently ushered Lola away, taking Bugs in his arms.

And when he did, the reality sank even deeper into his heart. The shallow breathing coming from Bugs, the way he barely moved. It was almost too much for the Duck. Still, he held onto him, As he looked at him, teal locking with gold like they had so many times before. Daffy, absolutely infatuated with them, like so many times before and it hurt. It hurt so bad because he wanted to say sorry, he wanted to apologize a million times over, he wanted to confess and spill out everything at once, the dam of his emotions, about ready to burst.

Except he didn't. No, not at all. Instead, he gently leaned in closer to bugs and pulled him into a hug, the rabbit weakly complying and returning his affection. The two, staying like that for a few seconds before pulling apart as Daffy teared up looking at his best friend, his expression broken.

Bugs in turn offered a weak smile as he made a gesture with his hands, pointing to his own face, smiling weakly.

"Smile Daff, we won."

He said gently, in that lovely way that he spoke although much weaker now. As Daffy hiccuped and felt his eyes water more and he sniffled, a few stray tears, escaping as they landed on Bugs. The toon simply brought his hand up to cup Daffy's face as he used his thumb to wipe away his tears.  Daffy struggled to not burst out into loud sobs right there as he forced himself to smile for Bugs, because even if he couldn't have been a good friend to him, he could at the very least do this.

And as he looked at the rabbit more, it started to genuinely turn into a real smile, as Daffy felt his face flush and he pressed his forehead against Bugs, pulling him as close as he could, his smile about to break, as Bugs petted his cheek with his thumb. Daffy leaned into the touch as he quietly chuckled, before closing his eyes.

"That's..all..folks."

Bugs said, as Daffy opened his eyes to see Bugs smiling as brightly as he could at him, before he glitched, and burst into a bright light, disappearing into the sky.

The warmth, gone.

Bugs..gone

[cattypatties]

Flustered

⚠️ Slight Spoilers for Space Jam New Legacy ⚠️

Daffy sat there on the front steps of the Warner Brother headquarters, resting his arms on his legs, one leg balanced on top of the other, bouncing his webbed foot. Resting his head in his hand as he stared out at the lot, watching a familiar trio run by. He smiled a bit seeing them, before they disappeared out of sight. The raven feathered duck letting out a sigh, as he went back to watching other actors and toons alike walk by, the world going dimmer and almost greyer.

The reason why he was sitting out there mainly was because he was just bored. He didn’t really have anything to do, other than sit around and people watch. This simply was because they had finished filming SpaceJam 2 and they had caught up on all the other media they needed to be in, even finishing sessions early. The other cast members dispersed once finished and all heading home to their loved ones and respected lives, but unlike everyone else, Daffy didn’t really have a place to go back to. Not one that was consistent for him anyway. So he practically lived at the Studio, which bothered him a bit considering he was already kissing their ass daily by playing stooge to Bugs.

..Bugs.

His thoughts immediately wandered off to the Bunny in question, thinking about everything they had been through together, all the adventures and mishaps..to the first time they met. He smiled a bit fondly over the memories, sighing happily and even though he’d never admit it out loud, he had the most fun when he was with the rabbit. The jokes they’d share, the laughter, almost every anvil to the head and blast to the face was worth hearing Bugs’ laughter. Especially the way he seemed amused with Daffy. He loved the way Bugs looked at him, However despite the feelings Daffy had for Bugs, the star of Warner Brothers didn’t exactly reciprocate. It was obvious when they had first interacted, Lola as his love interest, and although it was an act, the two had gotten along swimmingly. In fact they were both written to be absolutely head over heels in love with each other.

So obviously it left Daffy feeling resentful of her for more than one reason other than fame. Still, it wasn’t something he dwelled over, it was just something to make him reassess his own character. Especially his feelings towards his co-star and why he felt like this. He was the odd one out and the most resented anyway. Which he didn’t mind too much, it was just really confusing.

However, before he could delve into this topic any deeper, he was alerted as to a presence next to him, when he felt a soft elbow nudge him. He turned to see Bugs sitting next to him as he took a bite from his carrot, looking at him curiously.

“Eh, What’s up Duck?”

He asked Daffy in his usual tone, as he finished munching on the carrot for now, putting it away. Going back to facing the toon next to him.

“What’s it to you wise guy?”

He retorted, staying in character to avoid any unwanted attention towards him.

“Nothing, just checking in on the studio's best Duck.”

He replied coolly, Daffy simply rolled his eyes with a small huff.

“Seriously Bugsy? That’s a reference from ages ago.”

He murmured

“Eh, call me nostalgic”

He shrugged, before leaning on Daffy, the duck frowning as he rolled his eyes pushing the rabbit off

“Just leave me alone, you’re taking up my personal spaceth.”

He said quietly.

Bugs looked at Daffy for a solid minute, the Duck shrinking under his gaze, before he snapped out of it and laughed, with no real joy behind it as he pulled at his ear and started fiddling with it. The duck noted how out of character Bugs was acting before the rabbit spoke.

“I think I’ll stay.”

He replied fidgety.

Daffy’s eyes softened slightly seeing how Bugs was, before slowly lowering his own emotional walls as he nudged Bugs with his arm.

“..fine, but you better tell me what’s up bucktooth.”

He said, watching Bugs carefully.

“Right..”

Bugs glanced away, letting go of his ear as he put his hands on his lap and clenched his hands into fists as they began to shake.

“Daff..I know it wasn’t real, but..what if an offer ever came up? Like for everyone to leave for a better life? Would..would you leave me? L-Like you did…in..”

Daffy stared at the timid creature, feeling his heart stop. He remembered clearly that during the entire time they filmed Bugs had been acting strangely, and now he knew why.

The question itself was..ridiculous, but Daffy knew deep down it was still a legit fear, a chance at an alternate lifestyle? A fresh start? It was extremely tempting, something brand new that could’ve been his, he could do whatever he wanted and no one would stop him. No more faking and yet..despite everything, Daffy knew he’d rather stay like he was, than to leave his best friend, and even in that death scene they had filmed, the Duck did find himself tearing up.

“No.”

He said rather casually as if it were obvious, and to him? It most definitely was. He of course turned to see Bugs’ eyes wide and his mouth quivering as he immediately pulled Daffy into a tight hug as the Duck froze and awkwardly shifted so he sat normally and pat Bugs’ arm. The rabbit clutching onto Daffy as he snuggled against him, oddly touchy, which wasn’t usual.

Daffy felt his heart speed up, as his face flushed and he waited, before Bugs pulled away, looking at Daffy and back to his normal self. The raven feathered toon a bit flustered.

Of course almost immediately Bugs picked up on this and raised a brow as he looked at his friend, confused.

“Daffy?”

The Duck muttered something under his breath as he turned completely away from Bugs, the bunny genuinely confused. The rabbit scooted forward trying to get Daffy’s attention as he leaned towards him.

“Daff?”

The Duck continued looking away, silently praying that Bugs would go away, however the rabbit instead rested his chin on Daffy’s shoulder. Immediately making the smaller toon fall over in surprise, before falling down the rest of the stairs.

The rabbit watching as there was a series of crashes, yelps, and sounds of slamming before Daffy was at the bottom, his head on the concrete, a lump forming on his head as stars swirled around him, Bugs making his way down as he held Daffy in his arms shaking him.

“Daffy? Daffy??”

He waved a hand in front of the toon’s eyes which spiraled and swirled, flicking the stars away. Holding him close.

“Oohhh..Bugsy ‘ole pal? Isth that you? I can’t tell..there’s five of you-“

Bugs chuckled softly as he watched Daffy come to, as he shook off his dizziness and pressed the lump on his head back down until he was normal again as he looked to the rabbit and frowned

“You’re despicable”

To which the rabbit rolled his eyes

“Eh, it's not my fault you’re falling for me.”

Daffy all at once felt his face go on fire as he stared at Bugs, the two locking eyes, before the bunny’s eyes trailed down to inspect Daffy’s face to see how red his bill was, as he looked over him and smirked a tiny bit, jokingly of course.

“Aw, dat’s sweet doc, got a little crush on me?”

Daffy turned away huffing as he crossed his arms.

“I have no clue as to what you’re hinting at long ears, if you’ve got something to say, say it already. You’re wasting my time”

“Doing what?”

He leaned closer right up to Daffy as the Duck faced him looking maroon. As he raised a finger in protest and opened his bill before he comically moved his arm down like it was a lever, and his bill snapped shut. As he leaned back, casually brushing his friend off, almost dismissively.

“Oh the usual, getting in my personal spaceth, being a nuisance and DO YOU MIND WABBIT!?”

He yelled at the end, the bunny perched nearby as he batted his eyes at him innocently.

“Whatever do you mean?”

He asked feigning innocence, making the Duck’s eye twitch as he scooted away from him, his co-star following as he scooted closer.

“Bugsth…”

He warned looking at him

“Yes..?”

He asked as he grinned more, before getting an idea as he twirled around, now dressed as a woman, in a white gown, with a blonde wig with lipstick. He looked…well beautiful. Daffy stared at him, instinctively, letting out a whistle, before holding his bill as he stood up and began walking away face a bright red. Bugs followed after him and grabbed the duck’s hand and leaned his head on his shoulder, holding his arm with his other hand as if they were a couple. Daffy speeding up as he kept his eyes off Bugs. Thankfully, his blush died down as they kept walking.

He didn’t need this right now. Just a minute ago we had mister ‘I’m so vulnerable’ and now he was back to normal and while it was relieving, it was also terrible for the poor duck whose feelings were only growing the more time he spent with his damned rabbit. He paused for a moment as he halted to a stop, as he replayed his thoughts.

‘His damned rabbit.’

Oh god damn it..damn it all and damn Bugs Bunny and his..his..

He turned quietly looking to his friend, seeing him look up at Daffy lovingly, his makeup perfect, with a small smile on his lips. He looked absolutely stunning, and he was..focused on Daffy, and he seemed genuinely amused to be with him, to bother him..to just exist with him. His lovely golden eyes looked at him with a half lidded gaze, Daffy feeling his own smile start to tug at him, before he shook it off looking away, heartbeat quickening.

Eventually the two reached the gates, Daffy fully ready to push his friend right out of the lot and send him in his merry way. So that Daffy could once again be alone and figure out why he was feeling this way. Why he was in love with someone who he wasn’t meant to in the first place. Except, instead of pushing Bugs out, he paused.

Teal eyes flicking to gold, waiting almost expectantly for Bugs to just run off, but..he didn’t.

He didn’t do anything but stay right by Daffy’s side and turned to him confused. Before he let go of him and the grey toon spun around going back to normal, and pulled out his carrot taking a bite, as he rested his elbow on the duck’s shoulder.

“Eh, what’s the hold up?”

“Nothing, aren’t you going to leave?”

“And why would I do dat?”

“B-because there's literally nothing for you to do! I mean you can go home!”

Daffy gestures to the exit, frantically looking at Bugs, but despite it, the rabbit didn’t budge. In fact, he only seemed more enthused with his co-star.

“Daffy.”

He said softly, before the Duck calmed down and looked at him confused

“What??”

He took another bite from his carrot before shoving it in Daffy’s mouth and kissing him on the forehead, the Duck going the deepest shade of red as he pulled the carrot out of his mouth and looking at the bunny glaring.

“That sir is absolutely disgusthing! Thisth was just in your mouth!!”

He said waving the vegetable in front of Bugs, before the bunny took another bite of it and nodded to himself

“Eh..I didn’t know you were minty..”

He said casually, eyeing the shorter toon, watching as his face went even darker red, as he made the cutest and most flustered expression ever as he stammered. Daffy absolutely ruined as he shut his bill and looked to Bugs half glaring half bewildered.

“Y-You-yOu-YOU—“

He raised a finger and pointed it accusingly at the rabbit shaking ever so slightly, standing on his tippy flippers, as he tried to grasp his words, face still burning.

“Y-YOU’RE A-ABSOLUTELY, A HUNDRED PERCENT D-DESPICABLE!!!”

Bugs grinned watching him, knowing fully well that Daffy was the reason he loved coming to the studio everyday. As the rabbit felt his own heart fluttering slightly, taking another bite from his carrot as he shrugged.

“And you’re adorable.”

He replied cheekily. His co-worker covered his face with his hands, grumbling.

“Eh, ain’t I a stinker?”

He jested staying beside Daffy, the poor duck just feeling even more confused than before. A small smile escaped him as he glanced away, hiding his goofy grin.

“Yeah, you really are..”

He turned to face Bugs smiling at him softly, with the same look Daffy gave him back when they were filming back in action in Paris. The same soft smile and half lidded gaze with a small blush spread across his bill.

Bugs blinked, obviously surprised, because it was one of those genuine looks Daffy rarely gave, one of those looks that made the rabbit feel his own surprised smile tug at his mouth, as his ears lowered down and he felt his face heat up too.

The pair staring at each other happily, unaware of the other’s feelings, but still happy all the same.
