Summary: Darwin isn't handling Gumball dating Penny so well, when Gumball comes back home, after another rejection from Penny, what happens when Darwin finally snaps?
"And yes, I'll admit, I am jealous. I'm jealous of every minute you spend with him, of every concerned expression you send his way, of every tear shed, of every glance, every touch, and every thought. I want to rip him to pieces and purge him from your mind and from your heart. But I can't."
― Colleen Houck
Gumball was getting ready for his date with Penny, while Darwin sat on the bed watching him.
"How do I look, bro?" Gumball asked, and Darwin sighed.
"You look okay," he mumbled, sulkily.
Gumball glared at him.
"I can't just look okay!" he said, panicked, "I've got to look better than that. Everything has to be perfect!"
Darwin rolled his eyes.
"Everything always has to be perfect when you hang out with Penny," he said, dryly.
"Yeah, but this time is different! Tonight, I'm going to ask her to marry me!" he said, dramatically, pulling a ring out of his pocket.
Darwin looked at the ring and huffed.
"You always ask Penny to marry you and she always says no." he pointed out, "What makes you think this time will be any different?"
Gumball looked hurt.
"What's the matter with you, Dar?" he asked, voice shaking, "You've been against me and Penny from the start!"
"Maybe I just don't like Penny!" Darwin shouted, out of nowhere, "Maybe I don't think Penny's good enough for you!"
"What the what? Penny not good enough for me?" Gumball gasped, and grabbed his chest. "It's like I don't even know you anymore!"
Darwin's face fell and he teared up.
"I'm…sorry…" he looked like a kicked puppy.
Gumball smiled brightly, and slapped him on the back.
"That's okay, Darwin," he said, "You must've just drank some bad milk or something. I'll see you as soon as I finish my date with Penny,"
Darwin's face turned ugly with bitterness, but Gumball didn't see because he had already turned his back. Darwin waited until Gumball was gone, then he crawled under the bed and pulled out a white box.
Inside was something he could never share with gumball: Mrs. Mom's wedding dress.
Darwin pulled it out and hugged it to his chest.
"You can't marry Penny," he said, crying, "You're supposed to marry me,"
