Boyd followed the older bird to the kitchen.
Once there, they ceased their stroll when Della looked back asked "What's this about Huey saying to you in the forest?"
"Well..." He took a short bit to answered, hoping that his friend would be mad at him or the older bird to mad at both of them." Huey told me that he like me in the romantic sense."
He could see Della's eyes widening, it made him tensed up more.
"Oh no, it's alright you're not in trouble." The organic bird said, kneeling down, placing a hand on his shoulder. I just wanted to know why you two were awkward with each other earlier."
"You don't find Huey being romantically interested in guys wrong?"
"What-no. I just want him to be happy and safe. He's, my baby."
It was at that moment he gave him her big smile.
"Wait, do you like him that way too?"
"Yes." The parrot boy said with pure honesty.
"You're free to date him."
"But aren't you angry or worried that I am Dr. Gearloose's creations?"
"What-no. I may have a deep seeded hatred towards the man, but you're not him. You're your own person."
"Thanks Ms."
"Nah. Skip the formalities, just call me Della?"
"Okay Della."
"Now," The older bird stood back up, placing her hands on her hip, staring at him with a serious face. "don't think that just because I trust you with Huey, doesn't mean I wouldn't punish you for hurting him."
"I won't. I'll be a good boyfriend." Boyd uttered, with just as same sincerity as he did when confessing that he is romantically interested his duckling friend.
"And don't you think I'll would punish Huey if he hurt you?"
"I won't. I'll be sure to tell you."
"Good. Now, let's see we get that soup going. We'll tell Huey about your feelings for him later."
"Okay." Boyd said with a bright beam.
After they finished, Boyd, despite being concerned about his friend's mom's cooking skills, he was feeling good about the soup. However, when they gotten back to room and woke up the sick duckling for him to try the food, that's when the happiness disappeared. As soon as his friend took a sip, Huey struggled to keep down, but it appeared to be much of a task, and he was about bring up the food when Della told Boyd to get the bucket beside him. He did what he was asked. Just he as did the taller bird grabbed the buck put in front of Huey's face.
There, Boyd could hear his friend making noises that sounded like he was letting out more food, which was almost a certainty that was what he was doing.
It didn't take long before Huey gave the bucket back to his mom and lied down.
"Thanks mom. Thanks Boyd." Huey said in a tired tone.
"No, problem honey." Della uttered.
"No problem, Huey. Sorry we couldn't make anything for you to eat."
Just then, the parrot android heard his friend let out a sigh.
"It's fine. Guess this influenza virus is hitting my immune system harder than I thought."
"Don't worry honey, I brought quackers." Della spoke up.
Boyd watched his friend's mom give the quackers to his friend said friend nibbled a bit before thanking them. The ill duckling then went back to sleep.
After the parrot boy watched Della gave his friend a kissed on the forehead, he did the same.
Days passed before Huey was feeling well enough to ask him questions.
"Okay Boyd, what is it?" The parrot's friend questioned, sitting up in brother's bed, with a bit of a hoarse voice.
"Well, is it true about what you said back at the forest?"
"Yes." Huey replied with a nervous smile, having more of pinkish cheeks, and having bit of an insecure tone.
"Really?!" Boyd asked, really happy that his friend said yes. "I love you too in the romantic sense!"
"Really?" The duckling asked.
"Yep. Does this mean, we're boyfriends?"
"Yep."
At that moment, the parrot boy rushed up to his slightly ill friend and hugged him, being gentle as he could. He felt Huey held his breathe for a tad, but he then he felt his duckling friend wrapped around him, returning the hug.
They stayed liked that for a what felt like a second before Della, who was sitting in a chair next to the bed, uttered "Aw, I so happy for you Huey."
After they broke away, Boyd stared at his now boyfriend's mom to see she had a really bright smile, which make him smile even more.
"Thanks mom." Huey said.
"Huh, I wonder what all the commotion's about?" A familiar voice popped up.
The android looked towards the door to see his boyfriend's brothers, staring back at them with shock expressions.
"Uh what's going on?" Dewey asked.
"Oh, Huey and Boyd are now boyfriends." Della stated.
"Yep." Boyd spoken up. "I promise you, I 'm going to take good care of him because I 'm a real man."
It was at that moment; he moved over to his boyfriend's side and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Okay, okay," Louie spoke up walking to the bed. "don't get my bunk all dirty?"
"Sorry, Louie." Huey said.
"Ah hah, are you going to go on a date when you get better?" Dewey asked.
The red clad duckling answered "Yep."
"Agh, you know, you could have acted a bit annoyed by it?"
"But why would I do that, when it's the truth?"
"Say, now that you kids are getting to the age to have romantic partners, how about I teach you how female ducks get eggs inside them?" Della asked.
At that moment, Boyd saw the blue and green clade ducklings sat on the opposite end of the bed than their brother was on.
"You want stay to and hear Boyd?"
"Uh, sorry I have to go and help out the Wood Chucks. Bye Huey, I'll text you later." The parrot answered with honesty, right before his boyfriend another kiss on the cheek and heading out of the room.
Later that day Boyd texted his boyfriend.
"How r you doing Huey?"
After a few seconds gotten his answer.
"Agh, I 'm still a bit sick. Mom told us everything about woman get her eggs fertilized... I have so many questions."
"Maybe we could search for the answers together?"
"No, it's fine. Uncle Donald came in right after and clarified a few things."
"Okay. " Boyd typed before he then put "I love you. Get better soon." with emoji spelling in.
Huey replied "Sure. I love you too."
This made Boyd happy. He felt eagerness see to his boyfriend again.
