The sounds of happy, one sided chatter echo faintly beyond the door. It was as if the person beyond it was talking to themselves. While this might be unnerving to some out of context, Y/n grips the plastic tightly in her hands, waiting for the right moment to make herself known.

Just a little longer...

Finally, she releases the plastic with one hand in order to slowly open the door. She pushes the wooden surface open.

Wilbur's attention immediately snaps to her. He pulls one of his earbuds out, probably anticipating a conversation.

"What are you-?"

Y/n cuts him off by raising her nerf gun and opening fire on him. He raises his arms to shield himself from her entourage of bullets while backing up away from his screen.

"Hey-!" He laughs and stands to try and run away from her. "Stop it-!" Wilbur yelps before driving out of the frame of his webcam. After flashing her a thumbs up, Y/n sits in his now vacant chair. She cocks the nerf gun before putting the earbuds in. Immediately she's met with the confused laughter of

"Sorry about that," She says nonchalantly.

"Wait- Y/n?" Tommy asks in the midst of his own laughter.

"Wilbur's gone and you're next,"

There's a bit more banter before the stream carries on. Y/n joins the Jackbox game on her phone, and Wilbur soon pulls up a chair beside her to join as well.

"We should team up against them," He whispers to her.

"Probably,"

"We can hear you," Quackity chimes in.

"Hey Quackity, we're teaming up against you!" Y/n says louder.

"Woah really?" His voice is heavy with sarcasm. "I would have never guessed,"

They start out with Quiplash. The first prompt is "a sort of bad thing you'd wish on your second worst enemy". Y/n is tempted to put "Tommyinnit" as her answer, but that felt a little too mean, even for her second worst enemy, so she puts "25th largest island in Greece", well aware that her broken humor was already showing.

The answer that ends up competing with hers is "Jack Manifold".

"Hey!" Jack objects immediately.

"Wait what's the 25th largest island in Greece?" Quackity asks in confusion.

"Don't look it up," Phil tells him, albeit laughing in his speech. "Don't do it-"

Y/n is also laughing, and Wilbur looks over at her skeptically. Seeing her reaction probably revealed it to him, but he also starts trying to stifle his own laughter at the sight of her.

"Y/N?!" Tommy exclaims when the names are revealed.

"Y/n I'm never talking to you again," Sapnap says with annoyance.

"You can't run from me," Y/n responds.

"Well that's not ominous,"

The next few answers consist of far too many sex jokes and making fun of Tommy and Jack. They play another round after before moving on to Talking Points..

Y/n controls a very professional presentation for Wilbur about why he was in love with George, Tommy has to admit that he admired Dream, Phil has to talk about why wives weren't real, and Quackity ends up going through the mess of what was really under his beanie.

"Hello everyone, my name is Y/n," Y/n finally starts off on her turn. "And my presentation is on...oh- Why I hate WilburSoot,"

Wilbur looks at her with fake betrayal. "I thought we had something,"

"Sorry, but you have a lot of problems, and this is one of them," She taps her screen to transition to the next picture, which is conveniently one of a anteater. "You hate anteaters,"

"They're disgusting," He objects.

"No! They're gorgeous! And you need to learn to appreciate them for who they are!" Y/n yells. "They're beautiful! Look at this boy!"

"He's horrifying!"

"How dare you?!"

"Fight fight fight fight fight-" Tommy chants.

After that is a few rounds of Mad Verse City, which ends up being the last game since George, Phil, and Jack all ended up having to leave. Y/n was fine with it though; she was already feeling tired again anyway.

She and Wilbur bid goodbye to chat. Once the camera is off, she grabs the Nerf gun again and shoots him in the arm just for fun. He shoots her a playful death glare before attempting to grab the gun away from her.

Y/n springs up from her chair, shoot him again, and runs out of the room.

"Get back here!" He says loudly.

"Not a chance lover-boy!" She giggles.

Wilbur chases her around the apartment while she occasionally shoots foam bullets back at him. When the gun is finally empty, Y/n throws it in his general direction and runs into the bedroom.

"It's my gun now!" He calls.

"It's empty!"

"Wait- Dammit!"

Quickly, Wilbur corners her in the small room. She laughs as he tackles her to the bed into a tight hug.

"Got you!" He kisses the top of her head while also laughing himself.

"You're crushing me!" Y/n retorts with a huff, squirming as he was practically laying on top of her.

Saying nothing, Wilbur moves enough to not suffocate her, but also not enough to let her up.

"Hello?" She continues struggling to get out from under him. "Willllll-"

"Fine, fine," He chuckles and rolls onto his back to lay down next to her, still lingering close enough so that Y/n can just turn to curl up next to him. "How are you doing...?"

"I'm fine, why?" Y/n props herself up on her elbow, giving him a skeptical look.

Wilbur think for a moment before replying. "You've just seemed a little...uh- off, I guess,"

"Oh, how so?"

"Tommy said you haven't really been eating. I just want to make sure," He explains. "Does it have anything to do with why you had to go back home...?"

Y/n lays back on her side again to avoid eye contact as she ponders on a believable response. But Wilbur picks up on her change in mood almost immediately.

"Hey, what's wrong...?" His tone is soft as he rolls over to look her in the eye.

She stays quiet for a few more seconds, trying to figure out what to say in response. But ultimately, no reasonable excuses come to her. Only another stabbing chest pain that she's certain is the stress making itself known.

So, after squeezing her eyes shut, Y/n tell him everything.
