Ant AU

Notes: Bitty I love this au more than life, and it’s taken up so much space in my brain thank you. Your ant au is one of the main reasons I started my own blog, so I hope you like the short little fic :] 💛💛💛 -cory

“God dammit Wilbur...”

Schlatt grumbled as he shoved his phone back into his pocket. The grocery store was already crowded, and his friend wasn’t responding. Lately they’d been in a bit of a...fight?

Though he didn’t know what he did wrong. It was like all of a sudden Wilbur didn’t want to hang out with him anymore, and Schlatt wouldn’t admit it, but he missed it. So when he saw the Venus fly traps in the supermarket he thought maybe it would be a good olive branch for the two. They could mess with the ants like old times.

He tried calling the other man, but every time Wilbur let it ring endlessly. Wilbur had been weird about his ants lately, they used to play with them for hours, but now he was so strange. Schlatt hoped the flytrap would encourage him to have a little fun again.

When he finally got to Wilbur’s apartment, he knocked excitedly on the door, the small plant tucked into his arm.

“Will, you home?”

After a minute, Schlatt started to get impatient, and banged his fist against the door again. Wilbur didn’t work, and he had nowhere to be; there was no way he wasn’t home. And if he was asleep then he’d just have to get up, Schlatt wasn’t leaving until he made up with his friend.

Schlatt raised his fist to knock once more before the door swung open; Wilbur stood in front of him looking more than a little upset.

“Jesus Christ dude, what the fuck do you want?” Wilbur frowned.

A nervous lump travelled down Schlatt’s throat, “Well uh...so I know we’ve kinda had a little fight yeah? I wanna fix that. Can I come in?”

Wilbur raised an eyebrow before letting out a loud sigh. With a small wave he gestures Schlatt into the room.

His house was the same always-a little dark and pretty small- but now there was a new addition Schlatt hadn’t seen before.

“What are those little bridge looking things for?” Schlatt asked as he prodded at one of the lowest ones.

“Hey, don’t fucking touch those,” Wilbur snapped.

Quickly, Schlatt pulled his hand away like he was burnt.Great, Wilbur was in one of his moods again.

“Yeah, yeah okay I’m sorry.”

Wilbur shot him a harsh look before sitting down at his kitchen table. Schlatt followed suit, but he couldn’t help but let his eyes wander over to the ant farm. The huge glass tank looked like it had been renovated recently with fresh soil and new tunnels running through it. 

“So what do you want to say Schlatt, so I can go back to having a nice fucking day?” Wilbur seethed.

A frown grew on Schlatt’s limps as he brought out the gift for his friend. Gently he sat down the plant and waited to see Wilbur’s reaction. However, instead of the joy he had hoped for, Wilbur seemed almost revolted.

“Why the fuck would I want a plant?” Wilbur spat.

Schlatt sputtered in response. “Well uh... I know we haven’t hung out recently, but I thought maybe it could be a good thing for us! Just like old times messing with the ants, yaknow?”

“It’s...for the ants?” Wilbur asked hesitantly.

Schlatt nodded happily at his friend, hoping he was finally warming up to the idea, before Wilbur stood up from his chair dismissively.

“Thanks...but I don’t want it.”

“What why!?” Schlatt sputtered, standing up to meet Wilbur’s eyes.

“What the fuck is wrong with you lately!? In the past you would’ve been thrilled by this!”

“Yeah, well maybe I’ve changed, and sorry, but I’d rather not have to buy more ants,” Wilbur snapped.

Schlatt’s mind went into overdrive trying to find a way to save the situation when he noticed a small black speck on Wilbur’s arm. If he couldn’t convince Wilbur with words, maybe he could convince him with actions.

“Come on Will it’s fun! Watch,” Schlatt explained as he plucked off the small ant.

Quickly he jumped over to the plant and pushed the small writhing ant into its jaws. Once the plant clamped down around the insect, he removed his fingers and turned to his friend with a grin.

To his dismay, Wilbur looked like he’d just been hit by a truck. His mouth hung open, and his face was painted with disgust.

The moment their eyes met, it was like a switch was flicked in Wilbur’s head.

“Get out-“

“What come on Will-“

Wilbur shoved Schlatt out of the way and grabbed the plant off the table.

“Get the fuck out of my house Schlatt!”

As much as he wanted to save their friendship, Schlatt new when he wasn’t wanted. He waved goodbye to Wilbur who just shot him a poisonous look before walking out. 

Out of the corner of his eye he could see Wilbur frantically trying to open up the Venus fly trap’s jaws.

Schlatt would have to try again later.
