Launchpad was just putting the song on repeat and next, he puts in a DVD called Cinderella: A Twist In Time after getting the song stuck in his head. "Launchpad, you coming? Drake asked his partner, peeked inside his room, and in his Darkwing Duck costume "I'll fight crime with you, but I won't go near that witch" He said. Launched's jealousy didn't phase Drake much so he brushed it off. "Meh, suit yourself" He shrugged his shoulders and proceeded to his own room while Gosalyn ran across with her blue dress. Launchpad sighed as he got more comfortable. "Hmmm, maybe I can at least help him" He paused his movie before getting out of the bed and went into Drake's room. Upon entering, Drake was going through his closet "Launchpad, glad your here, can you help me pick out what to wear? He said as he was going through them, looking out his side-eye. Launchpad cannot deny that every time he looks at Drake's appearance, he tends to get flirty, though he hides it as best he possibly could. "Oh, how about a blue bow-tie" He picked it and displayed it to his "sidekick".
Launchpad only made his feelings more obvious "You look good in all your outfits" He tried to raise any suspension. "Why thank you LP, I gotta look my best for my big day," He said, straightening himself up. He then walked passed him, struts out. That would trigger Launchpad cause he carefully sneaks a few peeks at his ass. "Come on, tell him before time runs out," His conscience said. "DW? he asked, causing him to face him. "Yes, what is it? He asked. "I always felt this way for a long time and it's time you know that I..." Gosalyn interrupted him. "Dad, I can't wait for you to get married, it'll be the happiest moment of my life," She said. Drake turned to his daughter and smiled "Without a doubt" He picked her up and hugged her then spins her around.
Launchpad felt like they were the perfect pair, but he was sure he was the third wheel since Morgana got between them. The pilot was hurting too much even to think that if he had good him sooner. Drake did a few more spins then place her down. Launchpad? He said. " I'll find him," Gosalyn said before running out. Drake puts his hands on his hips and sighed. "I wonder what's bugging him? He asked himself.

Gosalyn looked into his room and found Launchpad with a box of tissues by his side. "Launchpad, what're you doing, aren't you coming? She asked. The pilot noticed her looking and acted quickly. "No, I was watching a sad movie and needed to box of tissues to help me get through this," He said, hoping she wouldn't catch onto him crushing on her father like it was not visible enough. "Well, you'll miss out on being the best man," She said, triggering him to come by force. "Drake wants me to be his best man? Launchpad paused the movie to give his full attention. "You bet, he really cares for you a lot," Gosalyn said before going back. "Drake wants me to be his best man? Launchpad asked himself. He didn't even consider mentioning Morgana as she clouds Drake Mallard's mind. Slowly, he started to downgrade his appearance. He went back to his movie and suddenly felt the need to rewind near the end after watching it closely. "That girl fought for love even though her prince is being brainwashed," He said, studying hard at the quick action and got an instant thought.
Is it possible that DW is unaware of how much I want to be with him? He said in his mind. He could face rejection cause he is not as beautiful. "Nah, DW would never go for a guy like me," He said, rubbing his stomach. Suddenly, the evil stepsister said something encouraging, and that got him thinking. "If I don't try, then how will I know? He turned the television off and sat on the side of the bed. Still, Morgana could blackmail me" He buried his head in his hands and reminisced about all the times they spent together and how he pushed through her defenses. 'Alas, she'll only use her charm against me *he sighed* until Drake came in and saw his sidekick then went inside. "LP, something wrong? Launchpad looked up and quickly whipped his tears. "Nothing just honored to be your best man," He said, even though it wasn't the whole truth. "Oh, well I need to ask you something special," He said, making Launchpad jump to his feet excited. "Anything, just name it," He said. "I want you to do some role-playing when Morgana and I say our vows," He said as his first mission alone. "Sure" He stuttered nervously. "Great" The small duck smiled and held out his hands. I can't believe this; Launchpad was about to hold his hero's hands. Was he dreaming cause he didn't want to wake up? Just imagine them getting married. He wanted this feeling never to end. Drake noticed that his partner was focusing hard on something and confronted him about it. "You alright there? He asked.
Launchpad shook his head and told him that he was overwhelmed. "Really, mind telling me? He asked. The pilot would've revealed how he truly felt about him, but he had waited until it was too late, now that dream of becoming an actual father to Gosalyn has been crushed. "Uhh, I was thinking about my role" He lied. "Easy, you'll just wait for my signal" He explained. Launchpad smiled.
Drake didn't know how long his soon-to-be- wife will take and disappointing her would be the last thing on his mind so he proceeded to continue why he was here. They were already holding hands. "Ready? He asked. "Yes," He responded. Okay, I'll start' Drake took a deep breath and sighed as he looked into his eyes. "My dearest love, these past years have been fantastic, there are times that I dislike the stuff that you do, but it's all the more reason why I care so much" He paused and asked Launchpad to review his progress.
Launchpad was feeling entirely revamped after hearing Drake. "It needs improvement and more emotion," He stated. "Think you can do better then Morgana cause you don't even like her? He asked, pointing out the obvious. " I saw you around her, the way she makes you weak and defenseless, making you lose focus on what matters most.
"Huh, you got the point there," he sighed while rolling his eyes. " Finally, he gets it," He said in his mind. Drake snapped back and asked his partner to do the next part. "It would be my pleasure," He said and stepped close, held his cheek with a single hand, and spoke from the bottom of his heart. My dearest Darkwing though these days have been troublesome, our love will conquer even the toughest of battles, and we'll make sure nothing will stand in our way. Whatever comes across our path, we will get through the objects like lightning and bricks. Drake Mallard carefully listened and suddenly started to feel happy and got emotional as his eyes stayed locked on. It felt like his heart was at ease by how straightforward he sounded like it came from his heart. Launchpad sensed the signs attacking Drake's heart and subjected whether to continue or not. "Uhh, you want me to stop *he put a hand behind his head, acting nervous* cause you're gonna be late," He said. Drake looked at him like the way he looks at Morgana *Drake hopped up in his arms and hugged him.
The way he caressed his hands over his cheeks. The pilot smiled and moved his head closer, he always enjoyed their bond and will cherish it forever. but every time he tries, his heart gets broken cause he knows he will never return his feelings so why even try to convince him anymore "No," He said to himself and dropped him on his bottom. "If you're late, there's no telling what she will do," He panicky said, not wanting anything wrong to happen to him. Just then, Gosalyn came in, ready to go downstairs. "Come on, dad, let's get going" She raced down to the door. Drake got up and asked for his partner's opinion, which he relatedly spoke *he gulped* you look as a hero should" It was his best answer and feared it might be cutting it close, judging by Drake's silence, so he tensed up. "Thanks, I always have my ego ready," He said heroically. "Dad, come on," Gosalyn yelled. "Coming," He said and asked Launchpad it would mean the world to him if he was there before taking his leave.
As he was about to walk out, the pilot was obligated to pull a Casablanca reference, but it would be a recipe for disaster. Weddings are supposed to be the happiest event, and what kind of friend would he be if he ruined that? Still, watching him gone was torture for his heart, every time he leaves. He closed his eyes, holding back his tears. "Should I tell him or not? He whispered to himself as an act of true love.
Happy October, or should I say drakepad month cause, as confirmed by Frank, there's going to be more interaction between the duo, the last chapter of this story is scheduled for the 19th; sometime after that, my new Ducktales will be updated. Not spoiling much, but I'll say that launchpad's heart will now be full. This chapter shows how much I value the pairing
