Quackity being unable to let go of the idea of marriage. Ever since he was young, he dreamed a about the princes and knights he would always read about. About finding his own one day.
Eret being the first and most literal. Literal royalty that wanted him by their side. But eventually, Eret's engagement ring to him found its way onto a chain that he kept around his neck.
And then there was Schlatt who was as charming and charismatic as any prince he had ever read about. Someone who was meant to rule. Someone who was gone as quickly as he was there, becoming nothing more than another ring on Quackity's chain.
But then came Karl and Sapnap. The bravest, fiercest people he knew when it came to love. The people who picked him up and rescued him like he was every damsel from his stories. They gradually faded away and this time, it took the longest for him.
Matching rings stayed on his trembling fingers even long after he felt rejected from Kinoko, locked out of the Kingdom that was supposed to be their home.
But over time, his hands would steady and his heart would curl in on itself, creating a protective shell around it. And as Quackity added two more rings to the chain around his neck, heavy as a hangman's knot making it hard to breathe, he swore the only rings that would ever again grace his fingers would be his own.
