Is This Real?

Chapter 11

Karl Pov:

Karl had woken up today exhausted. He had slept late due to Sapnap being well, Sapnap. But Sapnap was busy with random stuff today and Karl was just tired. He didn't feel like doing anything today, but he knew he needed to at least get out of his house, so he decided to go on a walk through the Dream SMP.

As Karl was on his walk many things distracted him. Like the bees he saw floating around, or the pretty flowers they were near, of the pretty llama he had passed a while back.

As Karl kept looking around at random objects or animals, he had found he ended up running into something.

"Ouch." Karl said while rubbing his head and looking up.

"Bad! Hey!" Karl then said realizing he had run into his friend

"Sorry about that Karl are you okay?" Bad replied with a worried look

"Yes, Bad thank you, sorry that was my fault. Those trees over there just looked so cool." Karl said looking at the tress yet again.

"Okay good I'm glad. How are you today?" Bad asked which them both into a deep conversation about their favorite flowers.

Soon though the conversation died down, and Karl wanted to head home, but as he started walking away Bad yelled his name.

"Karl waits I forgot to tell you something." Bad said running towards Karl, "Quackity has been looking for you, I don't know why but he's been asking everyone about you." Bad finished

"Few glad I remembered that before you left, anyways okay bye Karl!" Bad said

"Wait do you know where he is?" Karl asked Bad

"Yeah, last I heard he was on the beach on the east side."

"Thanks, bad!" Karl said while patting his friend on the back and running towards the east side beach.

"Bye Karl!" he heard bad scream as he was running.

Karl had meaning to find Big Q and talk about everything that's happened, but ever since he rejected his attempt at talking, he had felt off. He wanted his friend back but was too insecure and scared of the fact that his friend might've not wanted him back. But this was his chance, and when he finally reached is destination, he saw him sitting there on the sand.

Karl walked slowly towards Quackity.

Did he really have the courage to do this?

What if Quackity doesn't want to talk to him?

What if he just gets rejected again?

Karl shocks the insecurity from his head and sat down next to Big Q.

"What are you doing here Karl." Quackity said without looking at him.

"I wanted to see you. It's been so long Quackity..." Karl said in a hushed tone looking at Quackity for any sign that he wanted Karl to be there with him.

Quackity sighed and said "I know" while tilting his head down into his hands.

"I'm sorry" he said looking up to Karl, "I'm so sorry man." He said again looking away.

Karl saw hurt in Quackity face and felt a ping in his chest.

"It's okay, it really is. I just miss you man." Karl replied with a light smile tilting his head at Quackity.

Quackity laughed lightly and replied "I miss you too" while looking back at Karl.

They stared at each other for a while, just looking into each other's eyes, admiring what had been sitting in front of them both. Deep down they both had feeling for each other, but neither of them chooses to accept that feeling and move towards it.

After a what seemed like just seconds of them just sitting in silence and staring at each other Quackity started to feel his weird chest feeling and immediately tore his view away from him.

"I can't do this Karl." He said with pain in his voice and started to get up.

"I love you Karl." Quackity said before he just left, leaving Karl there on the beach alone and confused.

"Quackity wait please." Karl tried to scream at Quackity and go after him, but he had disappeared so fast that Karl missed his chance.

"What did he mean 'I can't do this' what can't he do?'

Karl thought to himself.

Still confused and hurt Karl just went home.

He just wanted to be alone tonight.

Quackity Pov:

After Quackity had left Karl he stopped at a random tree and tried to calm himself.

He missed his friend so much, but he couldn't stop the weird feeling he got when he was around him and it scared him.

What did it even mean, and why did it keep happening? And what happens if Schlatt find out Quackity saw Karl? What would he do?

Quackity stood at the tree thinking when he heard a voice. A familiar voice that he didn't want to hear.

"What are you doing here huh?" the figure said while taking a drink from the bottle in his hand.

Quackity froze, scared of what was about to happen.

"I needed a break, I went for a walk and got lost here." He replied

"Oh really?" The figure said and took the last sip from his bottle and threw it against a tree.

"Then why were you with that Karl kid on the beach?" The figure said getting close enough to Quackity to where he could finally face him.

Quackity looked up at the figure, a drunk Schlatt stood before him with anger in his eyes.

"Answer me, what were you doing with that kid on the beach?" he said with more anger in his voice than before.

"He tried to talk to, but I left him." Quackity said trying to seem confident.

Schlatt stood there staring into Quackity's eyes, trying to figure out if that was the truth or not, and after a while Schlatt finally eased up.

He wiped his shirt and said "Alright then Quackity. This time, your lie will be ignored." Schlatt said while clearing his throat.

"Watch yourself. He said then left.

Quackity watched as he left letting out a sigh of relief.

He was lucky this time.

Before Quackity finally heading to find somewhere to sleep he picked up the pieces from the bottle Schlatt had broken and thrown.

As he picked up the pieces one cut his hand.

"Ouch" he exclaimed.

It had been a small cut, but those seem to always hurt the most. He sucked on it for a minute and continued to get the rest of the glass and went to throw it away.

After everything was done Quackity finally went to find a place to sleep, but he heard something.

"Psssstttt"

Quackity looked around from where the noise was coming from.

"Quackity pssssttt over here." The noise said

Quackity followed it to a tree.

"Up here" the person said.

Quackity looked up so see a smile he had missed.

"Sam?"
