WAKING UP TO A TEXT FROM HIS BEST FRIEND WAS A BIT OF A SURPRISE. he and alex have been a bit distant lately.
there's no problems between them, if anything, they were at their best at the moment. but best friends don't have to speak every day for them to still considered best mates, they can take their own time and it'll be alright.
the text was telling him that alex was gonna stream and wanted karl on it with him. the fans always adored the dynamic duo, and why wouldn't they?
you have the sweetheart karl jacobs, who censors swears with the word honk. and then quackity, who yells in a tiresome voice changer at random times.
they're the most contrasting pair of friends and that's what makes them so amazing.
responding to alex's message with an enthusiastic response, he finally got up before shielding his eyes from the golden sun that was shining through the sheer curtains
his feet land on the fuzzy carpet, letting bella pass in between his legs and spin around to find a comfortable spot in the window still.
it was 7:32 am and the view outside was flower-like. delicate, stripped, and cloudless sky, making him want to sit and stare all day long. empty hazes at the early sunrise's were too costly to ignore, always making him feel like the only person in the world except he isn't lonely.
it was a shame and karl hated it but there's nothing that he can do about it.
bored and not wanting to be a bother to any of his friends, he decided to go do something productive. shooting a look at the piling dirty laundry that needed a wash, he hulled himself up with a groan to walk over to his washing machine and do it.
going to grab the basket, his back muscles flexed through the thin white shirt, reminding him that he needs to start going to the gym.
going to the gym is a bit scary for him since he's always been intimidated by the buff and well-built men and women there.
he feels like they undermine him, just expecting him to fail and embarrass himself. so instead of trying to power through his troubles, he just gave up on going to the fear-inducing gym.
he tried and failed, and that's alright. every shot that you take isn't gonna hit a target and all you can do is huff and try again.
but for karl, failure is the worst thing that you can do. it makes a growing pit develop in his stomach, swallowing all of his dignity and pride and leaves him shattered.
he would hate to ever fail anyone.

walking around the cold grocery store, he rubs the palms of his hands up and down his arms to warm himself up. he glances at the produce before making a b-line to the chocolate cookies.
then remembering what he came for, he solemnly walks back to the produce, yummy cookies on his mind. that is until he spots the oranges on the refrigerated shelves.
making him think of a special girl in his life.
he and clem have known each other for over 3 weeks now, keeping it mostly friendly; but flirtatious remarks do sometimes get thrown around.
but they're bound to since they met on a literal dating app.
but even under those circumstances, they haven't gone on one date even though they're only about 35 minutes apart from each other. first, karl has to think; does he even have feelings for her?
he thinks of the warm feeling that rushes through his heart when he thinks of her.
he thinks of the stomach aches that he gets after they laugh so hard at a stupid pun.
he thinks of the very rare times when her cheeks flush scarlet and how adorable it is.
he thinks of her smile, which can be comparable to a daunting angel.
he thinks of her smooth and calming voice that gets him through the worst of headaches.
he thinks of her inviting energy that can make anyone feel at home.
and then, as he stands there, hunched over in the chilly grocery store, he realizes that he has feelings for clementine beniot.
