"when did you know You loved me" [lp/drake]

Patrolling were fun, nights in were fun as well. In a different manor. Sure there was no crime to stop, no villainy to defeat, no crook to arrest. Though there was popcorn to not burn as he heated the kernels on the strove top. Gosylan was off at the Muddle foots so it meant it was just the two of them tonight. Popcorn done and prepped up how Drake knew Launchpad liked it, a questionable amount of melted butter and a dash of salt with a bit of chocolate powered mixed in. Drake own was much more appealing he felt, as he made his way into the living room. Lauchpad was busy getting the movie set up for the night well Drake plopped himself down on the couch. Though the view he had of Launchpad bending over in front of him was far interesting. soon they moved to join him and Drake hand the bowl over, getting a smile out of his partner before they both slumped against the other and watched the flim. Something more fitting to the mode, a simple romance film. At one point Drake felt he was being watch turning to find his detective sense were right when met with launchpad's soft gentle gaze over him. "Something up?" Drake just asked curious about what was on their mind. "when did you know You loved me"

Drake thought those words over, when did he know? his face flushed a bit as he tugged at the collar of his shirt. The truth was he had been in love with the larger duck for longer than he noticed at first. He thought it over for a moment Launchpad was just so dependable that it was easy to over look the more romantic feelings he grew to have, but a small memory came to mind suddenly. "When Gosyln got hurt at school and I was off with S.H.U.S.H. at the time I was trying my best to leave so I could get to her. I was so stressed and annoyed because of that damn idiot bear who doesn't seem to understand anything outside that building. I knew I needed to get to the school, to her. When I finally did though I saw your car outside the school." Launchpad didn't seem to be following but Drake continued to speak "I got to the office and Gos was sitting down feet kicking as she tapped away to you like nothing had happened at all. She was more annoyed she was stuck there once I got to talk to her. I think she was a bit scared at first but you know how she can be." He chuckled fondly thinking of his little girl. Drake looking back to Launchpad "You were just always the missing piece, with all the crazy stuff they gose on either side of my life you are always there to support and help..well that's when I knew." he laughed again to himself. "Because you be ease into my life, help e with the stress and I don't think home would be home without you here for me or for Gosylan too. It just I well three just well you..work together." He rambled a bit but luckily Launchpad took hold of his face and shut him up with a kiss.

Launchpad: and you have far too little

Person A: “….You have far too much faith in me.”

Person B: “And you have far too little.”

[ray-the-fanatic]

@dorky-crow idk tumblr says that it didn’t post but I could see it on my end so just in case

Launchpad for the "give me a charater" thing please

you're so poliet!

•how I feel about this charater

LAUNCHPAD MCQUACK IS AN ANGEL.

I love Launchpad so much hes one of my favorite charaters. I find his most interesting point is he sees all the things that make people great or can tell when someone can do something more (fenton and drake being heros.) Yet he overlooks those things about him self. Hes such a kind patience chatater too which is why I love his interactions with those who need that kind of person in thier life. And he is smart in a different way, how he runs the sun chaser, using gum to filter the smoke. I love when they shows us that stuff.

• all the people I ship romantically with this charater

☆Drake mallard☆

And also in concept I guess cause my main ship is drakepad

Fenton, Gyro, Donald, negsy (negaduck) I kind dig the steelbeak ship too.

•my nom-romantic OTP for this charater

Dewey his best friend cause that's precious

•my unpopular opinion about this charater

I dont know if this is unpopular persay, but just based on somethings Launchpad has said about his family from Darkwing duck I think his dad was kind of strict he loves his family but he never felt he fit in there so he got kicked out at 18 (tough love approach) and went out on his own meeting everyone from traveling around till he met scgrooe who took a shot on him and he kind of thinks of scgrooe as the dad he wish his was like. Tough but more accepting

• one thing I wish would happen/ had happened with this charater in canon.

Lp from the orginal shows, especially in DWD had a but of a snarky sarcastic side at times even with how good nature he is (maybe drake just brings that out of him xD) I would like to see that side of him more you get bits of it here and there.

😴 LP to Drake!

Send 😴 for how your muse appears in a good dream of mine

"Darkwing Duck hero of St.Carnad watches over his dear beloved city in the darkest corners of the night. No matter the scum of crime's underbelly that tries and overtake it for their own. None shall ever overtake the city under my knee eyes stare” Drake went on to narrated to himself as he leapt up to the edge of the building rooftop he was using for a watch point right now. 

Looming over the night had be quite today with not so much as a petty robbery going on. Drake was growing bored and anxious for anything to happen, maybe even someone just dropping a gum wrapper on to the street even. Thinking he was seeing as such as he leaned over further and further, footing easy lost on the small bit of ground he had to stand on as he felt his body give to gravity and could feel himself falling of the side of the building. 

Eyes were wide as he saw sidewalk coming up to his face, heart in his throat as he waited for the impact. Luckily never coming as he felt something grab on to his cape and pull him back. Sigh of relief when he noticed he wasn’t dead and look up to find himself against Launchpad's chest. A more content sigh coming out of his beak now as he moved into that warmth LP just seemed to give up so naturally. 

“Thanks LP” He mumbled slightly, Slowly pulling away from their hold now even though he much rather stay there forever. Smiling up to the larger duck as they simply told him it wasn’t a problem. LP was his sidekick in profession sure but he was much more than that to Drake as well. 

“Aw don’t down play it you always have my back when I need it and let’s face it I do sometimes. I’d nothing but a street pancake right now if it wasn’t for you big guy.” Drake praised on easily.

Looking at the duck before him again he noticed how bright they looked, how tall they stood, almost like Launchpad could simply fly off into the sky like Gizmoduck himself. That’s what he was to him Drake may wear the cape but Launchpad didn’t need a get up to be one himself. “LP I I want to say is that I” He started to speak but could hear an odd buzzing sound, he figured to ignore it and went to speak again but it was only growing louder and louder till Drake found himself awake in bed. 

Groaning a bit as he hit the alarm to turn it off, it was annoying him. Feeling a slight tug around his waist looking back to see Launchpad beside him moving his arms around them and pull back so Drake was dragged over this time too. Dragged back into the warmth of their bed together as he got comfortable next to Launchpad. A soft yawn leavening him as he nuzzled his face against their chest. 

“Thanks always looking out for me aren’t you?” Face was easily hidden  now letting the blush on his face show as he thought that word to himself. A hero.

😨 LP to Drake

send me 😨 to see how your muse appears in my muse’s NIGHTMARES

There was no one he trusted more, no one he leaded on more, no one he need more than his side kick. Okay Launchpad was much more then just his sidekick of course, he was his best friends, is most trusted companion even. Launchpad was the one he first let know his civilian identity after all. Trusting someone again after so long? 

it wasn’t easy. Yet no matter how awful Drake could be and in truth he had some bad moments not even always the greatest with his daughter. Launchpad though, never held those moments against him. 

He was so forgiving that way. But surely even Launchpad would reach a limit right? Drake always tend to wonder and think as he got dressed for the day. He was Drake Mallard right now. Father and husband, leavening his room though he found him self walking through the tower his hideout was staged at. His sweater vest swapped out for his purple and blue costume. As he was walking down the stairs where he had the super computer set up. Looking over documents given to him from S.H.U.S.H. Eyes moving up from the paper.

“Would you just look at this,” but the pages changed turning into one of Goslyn’s recent test papers. “I knew that” he blinked noting he was back home after reaching the end of the stairs, that lead down the second story. 

Not because everywhere was changing Drake hadn’t even noticed how he wore his two looks on top one another now. No it was seeing Launchpad all packed up ready to leave that took his attention away. He dropped the S.H.U.S.H papers and walked over to the large duck confused about what was going on. He swore he would have known if they were planning some trip or took on a flying job. Nothing he could think off when raking through his memory just now. “Uh h-hey big guy what’s with all the bags here?” he went and asked trying to hide any of the obvious worries that his mind was starting to bring forward. 

Launchpad’s glace though was enough to make the small mallard flinch in response he had never know Launchpad to look at anyone like that, especially him. “Uh you um okay Launchpad? is something the matter?”  

Launchpad just gave a heavy sigh, muttering that he thought he could leave with out any confrontation like this. Drake wasn’t following “are you leaving?” he went and asked it was obvious after all with all the bags he had packed up and throw over his shoulders and arms. He confirmed it shortly after.  

Drake felt his body grow stiff the second the words left thier bill, even if he expected the answer he still wasn’t sure how to feel about it being the truth. After all Drake never really expected anyone to stick around for him, no one ever did. Becoming Darkwing he found people who would even if it was not much. Launchpad though he was one of the few he took both sides of him...so why were they going to leave. Was it because of Drake or was it Darkwing they had grown tried of? He shook his head and closed the space between them grabbing at the larger ducks arm, clinging to them with so much desperation. It was pitiful just like the mallard himself could be at times. “Y you can’t just up and leave like this..what about Gosyln? you can’t just leave like this on her” he excused as if she were the one who would take most issue with this all. Some hero using his our kid as a scape goat now. 

Launchpad just shrugged him off though with out a seconds thought to the motion, reaching for one of the many duffels on the floor. To take up the space Drake was holding on to. Making a remark that he already gave her a good bye and now he had to go. That just gave him a lump in the throat as he scrambled back to his feet, dashing to the door, arms spread out to block the exit. 

“Okay okay not just her would!” he admitted finally, Launchpad always heard him out even after bursts of anger they would so this shouldn’t be any different. “Look I know I don’t always treat you the best but I-I do appreciate having you around and I look to you a lot I know as well but I”

a slight shove and drake found himself pushed aside with out a care. Launchpad didn’t give much of a reason why he just, he just left. Didn’t matter who was standing in front of them neither was enough to keep them by his side anymore.

[drake/lp] Reverse [ support ] - to support your muse with an arm around their waist

The ultimate affectionate gestures compilation| send one of the following for my muse to reach out affectionately to yours!

Drake could just his body aching and screaming in pain, slowly coming too as he was becoming aware of where he was. The feeling of cold concrete under himself. The cold night air adding to that, he could feel raindrops dropping on to his face as well. Eyes straining to open almost expecting to just wake up at home when he was met with St.Canard's streets instead. "Ah right," he said to himself as he started to sit up things were coming together in his mind now. Blinking when hear Launchpad's voice calling out for DW repeatedly, some urgency in their tone. Drake though just sighed out in relief, that meant they were okay after all. Drake smiled up once seeing their feet in front of him. Soften smile painted over his busted-up face, he took a few good hits in the fight. One eye may need extra attention even seeing as he was having trouble opening it up. "Hey LP," Drake breathed out "I'm glad ya made it outta there, all three of you even." Clearly, the knock to his head was worse than he thought as he forced himself to move up to his feet. The larger duck quick to try and help but Drake swatted his hand away insisting he was fine on his own. His knees were weak though and his legs were wobbling as if he never walked on them before this moment, dizzy from trying to stand alone. Drake felt his body move back and forth reaching over to grab on to Launchpad's arm now, holding on to their bicep as if they were just a crutch to use. "Okay maybe I need some help after all big guy." Launchpad just smiled and joked back to Drake as they moved an arm around his waist to give him better support. Drake leaned into their hold, they were just so warm. Maybe he took more hits to the head than he had first thought. Sighing out as he nuzzled his cheek against them. Following the larger duck's lead as they started to lead him back to the ratcatcher, clearly Drake would be sitting in the side car on the way back to the tower.

[drake/lp] “  i feel like i could endure anything as long as i have you to come home to.  ”

|softer prompts |

Late nights, stumbling through a dark house, using only instinct and memory to navigate through. Sometimes easy to do without having to flip a single light switch on to have the advantage of the light to see where one was going. Unless a certain troubler-making daughter left some toys behind before heading off to bed. A simple misstep and slip of the foot and a crash of a body hitting the floor knocking things over with them was enough to wake one from a deep and need slumber after such a long night's worth of crime-stopping. Drake forced his eyes open as he leaped up from the mattress. Feet tangled up as Drake found himself meeting with the carpeted floor a second crash through the house sounding out. Drake scrambled to his feet soon after though and made his way downstairs. Large figure of launchpads was easy to make out in the night as they seemed to try to put everything back. Unlike them, Drake thought to turn on one of the lamps, the yellow light enough to catch his attention it flooded through the darkroom. "LP, what are you doing don't you know what time it is?" Drake scolded his husband as he placed his hands to his hips and scowled over to them as if Drake hadn't just made rucks himself before making his way down the stairs. Still he walked over to the larger Duck to help them pick up the mess they caused, luckily for them Gos could sleep through pretty much anything so some knocked over lamps or tables or even a frame or two from the wall, wasn’t much for the ducklings ears.  “Another late night trip I take it it?”  LP nodded as he went about sweeping up any glass that was scattered over the floor. LP couldn’t only be Drake’s side kick so with his side work of being a private pilot could at times lead to having to be out late or even away for days. Yet LP would still be the first one awake or following Drake out for pratol. Mulling it over that seemed like an awful lot to put on the big guy. “Maybe all this is starting to I don’t know become to much for you LP? I know you come with me on pratol but it’s fine if you want to skip out today. And you know it’s fine if you need more rest when you are gone Im sure it can all be..too much for you at times.” Drake doesn't want to be another addition to that growing pile up to them.   Stopping only when he felt their large hand rest on his shoulder now Drake knew what he would see when he turned, that same smile Launchpad always wore. One that could erase any doubts or concerns in Drake. Once that always showed why he found such comfort in being around the larger duck. But before he could speak Drake cut in first “Don’t say it’s okay you spread yourself far to thin I know you say you don’t mind and maybe you really don’t but you have to admit at least that it isn’t easy to be everywhere for everyone no matter what. That includes me too when I say it.” Launchpad stood there thinking that over to himself but that smile came right back.  “  i feel like i could endure anything as long as i have you to come home to.  ” Drake, just felt defeated by that blush showing over his white feathers as he looked away Drake didn’t feel worthy of that aimed his way. Sure many ask thing from them but Drake had to be the worse considering all Launchpad dose for him. Fixing things around the house, helping with the thuderquack and Ratcather even just the sidekick stuff even. It was all so much yet Drake also wanted even more from Launchpad “I just hope I’m enough as is then.”

[ducknotinarow]

"DW you will never guess what I just did" smiling brightly as launchpad held something behind his back. Waiting for them to try and take a guess. "So st.canard con was canceled buuuut they did something where everyone who was selling could still sell."

Moving said surpise out from behind himself. Holding up a set of charms of the fearsome four, acrylic stands. "For you!"

| muse interactions|

"DW you will never guess what I just did" Drake smiled when he heard their loud bombastic voice echo out through the tower rafters. Turning around in the chair in time to meet with them. Launchpad clearly seemed excited right now. Putting his hand to his chin as he looked over the much larger duck. Course first thing he noticed was they were hiding something behind their back. "I'm guessing you got me a surprise?" he tossed out as he crosses his arms over his chest proudly of his deduction skills in play here. Drake was a top detective on top of a superhero after all. "So st.canard con was canceled buuuut they did something where everyone who was selling could still sell."

He nodded to show he was listening, thanks to some villain's antics the hall it would have been held got destroyed beyond repair. Well least in time for the convenience that was. They were both bummed about that outcome it nearly ruined the taste of victory when they caught that crook. Almost. Soon Drake found him sell caught by Launchpad's movements as he saw the charms. Blinking a moment before he stood up excitedly at the charms. He'd really gotten into collecting these from artists. They weren't mass-produced items or official sure but they looked so nice and since they had transparent edging you could put them in front of others without fully obstructing the view of the others. Drake had been waiting for some of the big main four villains of the show. But, hadn't lucked out on finding anyone who made some. "For me really?" needed to double-check a moment before he went to touch them. "For you!" Drake felt the excitement flow through him as he gingerly took them from launchpad's hand not wanting to smug them up taking a moment to look each one over carefully in his hands. "These are perfect! Oh, I know the perfect place for them!" He nearly shouted himself as he walked over to his living room set up Launchpad following behind, which he would need because the shelves he was thinking were out of his reach just a bit. Having such a tall boyfriend really came in handy in times like this.

(Scraf emoji, I can't find it!) To warp a scraf around my muses neck to be the cold reverse [dod/drakepad]

"You know it be one thing if they were always sending me on these missions where I'm freezing my tail feathers off for, but I wish they would have the sense to at least weather proof my get up yeesh."

Drake muttered under his breath as he rubbed his arms with his hands using the friction to create some warmth. Launchpad or double o duck he meant, was standing off to the side peering around thier hiding spot keeping an eye out for anyone around. Drake had to admit it was interesting to see how serious they were about this mission or well every mission. Getting to know the guy finally he found him to be pretty lax at best almost like he was someone different altogether. Drake just tugged the pale scraf around his own neck tighter it was another cold night. Drake hated the cold so much.

But seemed he wasn't the only one as he took notice of the agent slightly shiver. Hmm, he stood up from the ground and walked over to them.

"Here" he spoke up getting Launchpad to look at him as he offered the scraf for them to use, at first he turned them down but Drake just rolled his eyes and manged to rope it over thier head and pulled them down a bit so he could warp it around the larger ducks thick neck.

"Just take it, I don't need that dumb bear on my case about how I let his agent freeze out here anyway."

[ducknotinarow]

What do you- [drakepad]

"Now or never" Drake said to himself hyping himself up so many times he have gotten close to kissing that taller duck that drove his mind like he flew the thunderquack, and if you seen LP fly you should know what that means. His partner for crime fighting hopefully more, and his best friend who he knew he could always count on no matter what. He was going to kiss him finally.  Something had been boiling between them for a long time but often something got in the way, LP’s hero admiration for Drake, Drakes fears of being close and vulnerable with someone else. But he knew all the signs were there how Launchpad would look at him, get closer, speak softer to him. Drake always found a way to pull away though.  he was scared. A kiss would make everything be real, it was thing to long and hop for it but to have it really happen? Drake couldn’t bring himself to see that be even possible at times. As he felt LP’s pinky hook on to Drake’s own and just held it like so after a bit he dare to move his fringes over so he could fully take Drake’s hand in his own. They had been sitting here for a while waiting for any possible crime to go on. Drake had been talking under his breath here and there he needed to just stop thinking for once.  Looking up to the larger duck of his desire, who got him weak in the knees he smiled a bit.  “What do you-” The started to ask but soon Drake took hold of their scarf and yanked them down, slightly bumping beak, both pausing to ride out the bit of pain that took them but Drake then gently held Launchpad faces and pulled him in for a kiss.

[ducknotinarow]

[Stare] dwd/lp

Drake could just feel Launchpad’s stare burning into him with how intense they were holding it on the scar that he recently was wearing. Over time Drake was just used to the beatings he would get it was all part of the job after all so why should this be any different. He just gently patted the larger ducks arms to get their attention back on to himself other then the scare that was going to soon become part of the mallard.  “Hey each scare is just another story right? like all the bumps and scrapes on the thunderquack?” He started with “i just crash as well but like the best pilot I know.” Well the only one willing to work with Drake is what he should be saying though. “Ill get patched up and be ready to give it my all again”

I want the k, Drake and Launchpad!

•send my 'i want the k' for a random generated kiss

5. Frim kiss

Drake was panting, his chest was heavy with dread, fear, guilt most of all. Looking around the wrecking surrounding him. Flames taking the building smoke string his eyes and was filling his lungs but he couldn't stop not till he found them.

Tightly holding on to the pilotes jacket the only sign of him till finally catching sight of him. "Launchpad!"

--

Drake have heaving, coughing up lole crazy but all he cared about was the large duck beside him on the asphalt. Firemen taking care of the flames inside a few praising the hero for his save. But for once Drake didnt care about that.

Heart skipping when Launchpad opened his eyes finally sitting up confused and asking what happened. Drake just smiles tears flowing from his eyes as he moves over and hooks them by thier shirt. Pulling launchlad down into a firm kiss.

You're so warm

. “Stranded out in the cold, as the snowed contained to fall piling up around, the completely chilly cold air, sweeping it’s frosted breath into their bones as Darkwing duck and his. Unneeded partner watched out to look for the lowly criminal.” Drake narrated out loud to himself, of course adding more to his little tale   it wasn’t really all that bad but he would be Drake if he wasn’t exaggerating. The snow was more light and gentle, and they weren’t stranded either in truth they could just return to the car and wait but then Drake wouldn’t have the advantage of a good entrance later. Once again he had been paired up with the shush agent jeez you think those yahos didn’t trust Darkwing to handle this case alone. He thought as he was pacing back and forth, blowing air into his hands and rubbing them together to build friction and create some warmth. He need it so bad, the cold was setting into his bones at this point and his teeth were chattering. none stop. Until he smacked into Launchpad.  normally he would pull away but he didn’t he stayed there. “You’re so warm” he let slip out loud. The larger duck had offered his jacket before but Drake declined he didn’t need it, clearly he did now as he relaxed against them. Their warmth chasing away the cold and sweeping into Drake’s bones. Turning his head a bit and letting himself hear their heat beat. Warmth surrounding the mallard, part of him just wanted to be back in their embrace.

Misltoe d-o-d verse Drake and lp on accident

Drake walked into S.H.U.S.H looking for Launchpad the lousy agent who kept getting in his way well working on cases. Glancing around unaware of the decorations being placed in the building for the holidays. Odd that a stuffy place like this would do that but hey whatever.

Drake just stomped right into where that darn, devious, dashing anget was at. Of course happily helping around the office like the mister perfect guy he was. He stepped down from the ladder he was on taking notice of Darkwing suddenly big grin on his bill to greet him only to get caught off suddenly as Drake yanked him by his collar ready to give him a piece of his mind.  taking notice of the blush on the larger ducks face he just blinked a moment and glanced up, to see the mistletoe above the pair. That was odd he thought looking around as he let go of double-o-duck, seeing now that the whole place was full of busied angets hanging up various décor for the holiday. Oh he somehow forget about the holidays. Looking back to D-O-D to see him still standing in place, Drake slightly flustered himself considering the situation and how it may have looked when yanking him down just now.  It was just a tradition anyway, he thought as he the two looked at each other again that tension between them heavy once again like always.  “oh just kiss me so I can yell at you.”

All my fears go away when I'm with you

Being a hero wasn't as easy as Drake had thought to be. On the show darkwing duck jjst always knew what he was doing and how to handle any problem that came his way.

A bit if a wake up call for Drake, of course the TV show hero did he had scripts to work off. He was following a story that was written out for him

Being a real hero was much harder. Drake didn't have a script to memorize he had to figure this all out alone and that wasn't easy. Well not always alone.

Looking to his side he saw Launchpad. The one who just held so much faith in Drake. Just believed he was meant for this and that he can handle every thing that comes his way. But Drake in truth was seeing he only could because of Launchpad. He slightly rubbed at his neck a moment before speaking up. Launchpad was feeling low about his self doubts on where he belongs, he wants to be a hero loke Jim too but he finds himself not as able todo so. It was a small mention of how Drake is just so fearless. That wasn't ture at all. Drake just smiled and removed his hat a moment

"Ya know, I'm actually always scared when leaping into all of this." that got launchpad to look up. "But..." he slightly tightened his hold on the purple tendor looking at Launchpad the same ease when going into a fight with them next to him was settling over Drake. "All my fears go away when I'm with you."

He confessed, heart pounding against his chest as he let those words free at last to Launchpad, and why having him around just meant so much to Drake.

"Give me a kiss for good luck."

Drake was pacing back and forth, he really wanted this addition to go well. It been hard to get another role since the whole  failing pitch for the Darkwing duck movie. Drake just sighed as he continued in his pacing. Glancing at his phone here and there, Launchpad said he was on his way..Drake just wanted to see him before his turn came up. 

he was so anxious but seeing the larger duck would help. he always knew how to encourage Drake. Man what was taking him so long there he really could use that friendly face. He looked back at his phone and soon smacked into the chest of the same duck he’d been waiting.

“Launchpad!” he said happily, nerves already easing just from the laugh they utter after Drake smacked into him. Attention snapping away when his name is called though, he glances back up to Launchpad man he wanted to get a pep talk from him first but guesses he’d have to make do. 

“Give me a kiss for good luck” he offered as he gently took hold of the sides of Launchpad’s jacket. Tugging him down for a quicky peck
