Hello everyone! This is my very first Wreck It Ralph fanfiction and I'm very excited to be posting it! I recently got back into this fandom and I'm pumped :D I actually wrote this fic within about 4 days and already working on the second chapter. I apologize if any characters are OOC.
Well, enough of my chit chat! Please enjoy "Finally Falling"!

He thought he liked girls, but maybe it was just infatuation with her?
Felix sat on his bed in his room in the penthouse. He was so scared, almost shaking. Could he really be feeling this way...for one of his best friends?
Lately, Felix had been feeling strange around Ralph. Almost like the way he felt when he had first met Tamora Jean Calhoun. And his affections for her had been fading away. He almost felt disgusted whenever they would kiss.
But Felix couldn't be gay, could he? Or even bisexual?
Letting out a quivering sigh, he slowly walked over to his window. He saw Ralph out there, talking to some of the Nicelanders. Seeing Ralph made Felix's heart pound. Could he really be feeling sexually attracted to a guy?
Felix shut his window and closed the blinds. He was sad, scared, and confused all at the same time. His eyes drifted towards the gold wedding band around his left ring ring. "A symbol of promise." Felix thought. Tears flooded his vision.
"What am I going to tell Tammy?" Felix wondered. There wasn't any way he could stay with her. And she definitely wouldn't stay with him after finding out he lust after the same sex.
Felix felt guilty. He would be upsetting so many people. The Nicelanders would have to deal with the fact that a creep would be living in the same building as them and Ralph would be ridiculed as being the one the gay freak liked. Word would quickly spread throughout the arcade games and within just a single night, every single game will know what Fix-it-Felix Jr. is homosexual or bisexual or whatever he is.
"I gotta talk to someone about this." Felix muttered to himself.
Suddenly, Q*Bert popped into the handyman's mind. Yes! Felix could talk to Q*Bert and nobody would be able to understand since he spoke a different language which only Felix could understand and speak. It was perfect.
"Guess I'll go talk to Q*Bert." Felix murmured with a sad sigh. He left the apartment silently.
On his way to Q*Bert's shack, Felix avoided making eye contact with anyone. He felt so ashamed.
"Hey, Felix!"
Felix jumped at the sound of his name being called. He whipped around and behind him stood Ralph. Felix's heart pounded and his face grew hot.
"Oh, Ralph! You, uh, startled me." Felix chuckled nervously.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare ya," Ralph apologized. "Where ya headed?"
"Oh! To, uh, Q*Bert's shack," Felix managed to spit out the words.
Ralph noticed that Felix was acting a bit off and his face was awfully red which provoked concern for the wrecker.
"You okay?" Ralph asked, concern laced in his voice.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah!" Felix laughed nervously again while straightening his posture. "I'm okay, fit as a fiddle!"
"You sure?"
"Yeah. Listen, I really need to go see Q*Bert. I'll see you around, Brother." Felix quickly said and made a mad dash for Q*Bert's shack.
Opening the door, Felix rushed in and slammed it closed behind him.
Q*Bert, who was straightening up, turned quickly to see a very distraught Felix.
"! &%" Q*Bert asked in his language. "Felix! What's wrong?"
"%€$ " Felix frantically replied. "I just need help, someone to talk to. I don't know what to do."
" !&€+" Q*Bert asked. "Sure, Felix. What is it?"
Felix took a deep breath and proceeded to explain his situation as calmly as he could.
" $!€%#" he explained to his friend. "Lately, I've noticed that I don't feel the same about Tammy as I did when we first got married."
"%€" Q*Bert asked. "What do you mean?"
"$#%€" Felix admitted shamefully. "I like someone else."
Q*Bert's eyes widened upon hearing the news. He's known Felix for 30 years, ever since the arcade opened. Felix was the most nicest guy and everybody loved him. He was honest, loyal, and hardworking. Q*Bert never thought Felix would be one to fall for somebody else when he was married.
"! $#%" Q*Bert exclaimed. "Are you seeing somebody else, Felix?"
"& $!#%" Felix quickly answered, managing to spit out the final words. "No! I could never do that to Tammy, but I don't know what to do. I don't think I love her anymore."
"%#€! " Q*Bert asked. "Who is it?"
"Huh?" Felix blurted out suddenly. He was taken aback by what Q*Bert had asked.
"%#€! " Q*Bert asked again. "Who is it?"
That's when the anxiety and worry set in. Felix felt hot suddenly. What was he supposed to say? "I just found out I'm bisexual and the one I like is Ralph."?
Sad eyes looked back at the fuzzy, orange creature.
" &$!#" Felix started, his heart pounding with every word but for different reasons this time. "Q*Bert, there's something I should tell you,"
"%#€! " Q*Bert asked, acknowledging this was something important. "Felix, you can tell me anything. What is it?"
Felix let out a shaky breath, his body was racked with a roller coaster of different, unpleasant emotions.
" +#%$" Felix admitted. "It's not a girl this time. It's a guy, Q*Bert."
Felix broke down into tears and sobbed.
Q*Bert looked at his poor friend. Tears were streaming down the handyman's bright red cheeks. He looked miserable.
