I give up. 7

"Corpse, you said you'd do it this time!" Karl scolded, walking down the street next to his streamer friend.

"I know, I know." Corpse sighed, his eyes focused on the concrete under his feet.

"You and Sykunno have been dating for a month now and you still haven't told him that you're you."

"I'm aware." Corpse groaned. He was very aware of the fact that Sykunno was 100% convinced that Julio and Corpse were two different people.

"I don't know how you didn't tell him lastnight." Karl sighed. "Personally, if Sapnap or Quackity ever called me by a different name when saying 'I love you', I'd lose my shit."

Corpse furrowed his eyebrows, tugging at his face mask a bit. "Has Quackity even said the l word yet?"

Karl blushed. "Only in my dreams." He kicked at a rock. "That doesn't matter though, what matters is you refusing to come clean."

"What if he decided that he doesn't love me though?" Corpse asked, his stomach clenching at the thought. "What if Sykunno hears the words, I'm actually Corpse' and just, leaves?"

"I don't think he'd do that." Karl said quietly. "I think he'd be upset, but also understanding."

"Oh so if Quackity was like, 'oh by the way my name's actually Darryl' you'd just be fine with it?"

Karl rolled his eyes. "That's a different situation."

"How?"

"You were protecting your identity because that's your brand. Quackity doesn't have a brand. If he were to reveal a true identity it would be because he's an exconvict."

"From what I've heard he might be."

Karl shoved Corpses side gently. "In all seriousness, you have to tell him. Do it today."

Corpse frowned. "Should I call him then?"

Karl sniffed. "Yea, actually. Call him right now. I want to make sure the words leave your mouth."

Corpse sighed as Karl motioned for him to follow him off to the side, leaning up against the wall of a nearby building.

Corpse pulled out his phone, dialing Sykunnos number. It rang.

And it rang.

And it rang.

And it dropped.

Corpse frowned and texted Sykunno. "He didn't answer so I'm telling him I really need to talk to him."

Karl nodded, lifting his own phone to text his boyfriends back. Corpse frowned as his text to Sykunno didn't go through. Then his phone dinged and he got a text from Jax.

"Filmings canceled today for... Casting..." He reported to Karl. "And my texts to Sykunno aren't going through."

Karl frowned. "Maybe his phones off." He messed with his phone and Corpse assumed it meant he was texting Sykunno. There was a moment of silence. "My message went through."

Corpse frowned, his stomach turning a bit. "Oh... Maybe it's just my service."

"Maybe." Karl looked at his phone a little longer. "You should go home and do it then, if that's where your service works best."

Corpse nodded slightly staring at the red exclamation point by his message. "Okay." He and Karl walked back to the Wendy's parking lot where their cars waited.

"I'll be texting you to make sure you did it." Karl called, climbing into his Tesla. Corpse sighed, getting in his own car, not bothering to put on his seat belt as began the drive to his house.
