Lazy Day
@karma-alison-kills requested: Dude @huffle-puff-ego you should totally do Darkiplier with the lazy potion! Like Wilford senses that he's over worked himself and is in desperate need of a break and he tries to get him to relax and Dark tries for like 3 seconds and is like NOPE THERE'S SO MUCH WORK TO DO THE EGOS NEED TO BE READY IN CASE OF- and Wilford just pretends to listen and he just slips the potion into Darks coffee!!?
I really don't care as long as Dark finally takes a fucking break
Wilford loved many things about Dark. He loved how smart he was and loved how adorable it was when he ever got angry at him and go into a little fit. He loved how he put the other's needs before his own. Yes, he loved a lot about him... But one thing he does hate about the ego is that he was a workaholic.
Dark is constantly working to keep everyone in check, making sure the bills are paid, reading and signing piles upon piles of paperwork that never seem to end. Even when he was Damien, he was always so busy with work as the mayor. And it didn't help that Dark was easily stressed. If something didn't go his way, he'd work for hours until it did. Sometimes Dark would work himself to death, and it scared Wilford.
One time Wilford found Dark in the middle of the hallway, past out and surrounded by piles of paperwork. Dr. Iplier said he collapsed from exhaustion, but that didn't stop Dark. After a couple of hours in the infirmary, he was back to work, starting the cycle all over again.
And today, Wilford noticed that it was one of those days. Wilford was sitting on the couch in the living room, with a nice cup of hot tea in his hands. He took casual sips as he stared at the tv screen, watching Steven Universe when he noticed Dark walk in, with mountains of paperwork in his hands, holding a phone to his ear with his left shoulder.
"No, Bim the meeting is tomorrow, not next week... Yes, I know it's a Saturday, but my schedule is all booked up... We got to go over this week's videos... Bim I don't have time to argue with you I got a damn Mountain of paperwork and bills to go over... Bye." Dark sighed as he hung up the phone, groaning when he saw Google Blue enter the room. "What do you want now?"
"I have received some bills and our landlord sent an email to your computer," Google answered, handing him the mail.
"God, if they say I skipped a God damn payment-," Dark growled, slamming the paperwork onto the living room table, causing Wilford to jump. "I'll see to it later. Thank you, Blue."
Wilford watched as Blue nods his head at Dark before leaving the room. The pink ego then turned to Dark with a frown, watching as Dark began to write. He could see the exhaustion in his eyes, able to hear his bones crack from stress just from moving slightly. He didn't like seeing him like this, not at all. So he scoots a little closer and taps Dark's shoulder receiving a sigh from him, but Wilford continued to smile. "Hey Dark."
"Hi Wil," Dark whispered softly, flipping over papers.
"That's a lot of paperwork... Might be pretty stressful too." Wilford began as he leaned back, not seeing Dark stare ahead boredly, but he knew he was doing it.
"I'm not taking a break, Wilford," he said sternly.
"Might do you some good."
"It will set us back, that's what it will do."
"You know you got 4 capable androids that would love to take that paperwork off your hands-."
"It's not their responsibility, it's mine, we've decided-."
"We all didn't decide anything, you just took the responsibility from our hands."
"As all leaders should do," Dark argued picking up his pen and scribbling his name on the dotted line.
"Darky." Wilford began in a serious tone resting his hand on Dark's shoulder, the muscles under his suit feeling tense in his grasp. "This isn't healthy for you. You only tire yourself out just-." he began to rub his shoulder, listening as Dark let out a sigh, leaning into his touch. "Just try to relax, for me?"
Dark sighed as he let go of the pen, turning to Wilford. "... Fine," he grumbled as he leaned back on the couch starring at the ceiling with a scowl, his body still tense.
"Just get comfortable." Wilford began as he leaned back too, beginning to close his eyes. "Just think of nothing, and just... Relax." He sighed. He stayed quiet for a second his eyes closed as he relaxed. "Isn't this relaxing Darky?... Dark?" Wilford opened his eyes and turned to look for Dark, only to find him nowhere. "Darky-?"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I SKIPPED A PAYMENT!?"
Wilford jumped turning to see Dark in the kitchen, with his phone up to his ear, practically pacing the room, his red aura flaring.
"NO, LISTEN TO ME YOU MONEY PINCHING ASSHOLE, I GAVE YOU THE PAYMENT ON SCHEDULE, SO STOP TRYING TO SWINDLE ME OUT OF MY MONEY, OR I WILL END YOU... IS THIS A THREAT? WELL, IT SURE ISN'T ME TRYING TO KISS YOUR ASS! Dark shouted as he walked into the hall, heading for his office.
Wilford slumped his shoulder with a small frown. He knew it shouldn't have been that easy to get him to relax. How the hell was he gonna get Dark to stop working himself to death? He thought of different ways until an idea formed in his head, causing him to smile. He pulled out his phone and typed in a number and put it to his ear hearing it ring for a second or two before hearing someone pick up.
"Hello?"
"Marvy, do you got a minute?" Wilford began with a sly grin.
Later that day Wilford was in the kitchen, pouring a cup a coffee into Dark's mug, humming to himself before pulling out a tiny glass bottle of orange liquid. Marvin had given Wilford a small portion of lazy potion that would make anyone lazy for a day. Which was perfect for Dark.
After pouring the contents in the mug, he stuffed the bottle into his pocket, smiling when he heard the footsteps of Dark, who was heading his way. So he turned around seeing Dark still holding paperwork, and still on the phone.
"Iplier I told you I don't need a check-up, I'm too busy!" Dark said as he walked past Wilford, out of the kitchen, walking straight into the living room, and setting new papers on the living room table. "Well, what are you gonna check for, a pulse? I can save you the trouble, I. Don't. Have. One! Now I got to go, I got paperwork." Dark then hung up the phone and sat it to the side, gently sitting on the couch ignoring the loud sickening pop that came from his back.
Wilford strolled around the couch and sat next to Dark, holding out the mug to Dark, who just blinked, before looking up at Wilford. "Thought you could use a little energy."
"Thank you, Wil." Dark whispered as he took the mug from Wilford, taking a few sips causing Wilford to smile.
"So uh... You still not gonna try and relax abit?" Wilford asked as he himself leaned back once more.
"Wilford for the last time I can't," Dark growled setting the mug down. "I got to get these bills paid, I have to make sure everyone is coming... Coming to the meeting and... And I've got to... To-."
Dark didn't know what it was, but suddenly his mood changed drastically. He felt very sluggish and more tired than usual but he felt... Relaxed.
Wilford smiled when Dark dropped the pen and papers, before leaning back on the couch with a sigh, his eyes droopy. He then nudged Dark's shoulder receiving a grunt from him, before lazily turning his head toward Wilford. "How are you feeling Darky?"
"... I feel... Good." Dark whispered with a nod, closing his eyes sighing. "I feel relaxed."
Before Wilford could speak, Google Green walked in holding more papers, looking them over as he spoke. "Dark, I uh got more paperwork for you, and you didn't give the message to Bing that there was gonna be a meeting tomorro-."
"Can you do it please?"
Green froze, slowly looking up in shock, seeing Dark stare at him with droopy eyes, his head slouching to the side. "What?"
"Can you do the paperwork for me, please?" Dark asked kindly leaning back again. "I don't want to do it."
"Uh... Y-Yeah." Green grinned, nodding his head, walking around the table, picking up the paperwork that was on the table. "It's no problem ill have it all done and mailed out if needed."
"Thank you." Dark grinned watching as Green was about to head out. "Oh and Green?"
"Yeah, boss?" Green paused, looking at Dark.
"Send a message that the meeting is canceled for tomorrow... It's a Saturday after all."
"Right away sir," Google answered as he walked out of the room.
Dark then turned to Wilford, who was smiling at him. He couldn't hold back a grin as he leaned on Wilford's shoulder, closing his eyes.
"I haven't seen you this relaxed in ages," Wilford commented, wrapping his arm around Dark.
"Yeah." Dark agreed, letting out a yawn. "It... Feels nice."
Wilford just grinned as he rested his head on Dark's, closing his eyes as well. "You work yourself to the bone Dark. You've earned it."
