I Won't Forget You (Karlnapity)

When He Realized

3rd POV
It had been a few days since Karl's little disappearing and at the moment the poly bois were out on a walk together. Karl being the energetic chaotic he is was skipping in front of his two boyfriends while they walked behind him, Quackity occasionally running ahead Karl and Sapnap to try and get Karl to race. Sap was just watching his two energetic fiancé's with a fond smile.
It was one of the moments where Quackity was attempting to race Karl and the older obliged finally. Karl ran after Q and they ended up both running into people making them and whoever they ran into fall over. Sapnap started dying of laughter as his two fiancé's layed on the floor as well as the people they hit.
"We're so sorry about that!" Karl said quickly as he and Quackity stood up and held out their hands for whoever they ran into. "It's alright Karl and big Q" Tubbo said giggling a bit as he took Karl's hand and Ranboo took Quackity's. "We're sorry as well, we weren't paying attention either," Ranboo said as Tubbo nodded in agreement with his friend. "It's fine, what're you guys doing anyway?" Quackity said then asked the two teens.
"Oh! We were running away from Fundy because he was trying to shoot Ranboo again!" Tubbo said smiling as he acted like this was a normal thing and it honestly was. Ranboo nodded slightly before glancing back and seeing Fundy. "We gotta go now, bye Quackity, Karl, and Sapnap!" Ranboo said quickly before grabbing Tubbo's hand and running off with him. "Well that was a strange talk," Quackity said as Sapnap had finally walked over to them. "I don't even want to know what happened," Sap said causing his two fiancé's to giggle.
~a few hours later~
Karl had went out by himself. He needed to some air and room to think. His mind couldn't get out what had happened a few days ago. The people he met seemed so similar to those he knew thus he couldn't connect the dots on why. He started thinking about who he had met then it clicked in his mind who they all reminded him of. Miles was like George in ways while Helga was like Quackity. Robbin was like Tubbo and Catt like Corpse. Then there was Cornelius who reminded him of Dream and Jimmy who reminded him of Bad. Jack reminded him of Ponk and Bob of Lazar. But why..?
Why were they all so similar to his friends..? He didn't understand then remembered.. They all looked as if they were dressed like people Karl had seen in old pictures. Something else clicked in his mind making him run somewhere quickly. Karl ran to his kissing booth and ran inside. Inside were a bunch of books and he looked for a specific one quickly.
He found it after throwing most other books on the floor. Karl flipped through the pages until landing on a picture of old townsfolk and as he looked closer he realized.. it was the village he met.. but how..?! How was he in the past..?! Karl started pacing his kissing booth deep in thought. There was no way he somehow coincidentally ended up fainting and waking up in the past unless.. unless he was a time traveler..
No! That was impossible. Being able to travel in time was impossible. Right..? There was no way that Karl, a normal fun loving energetic boy was a time traveler. And if he was how come he didn't know sooner..? He needed to know the truth and the only way he could think of to find the truth was in the books.
He searched through all his books for hours and hours needing to find answers. Book upon book none had what he was looking for. It was late hours into the night when he finally found what he was looking. Karl's eyes widened as he read what he had found over and over again. He couldn't believe it..
Time travel was real and he was a time traveler. Now you may be wondering how he knew that he was a time traveler. Well the book specified that when you time travel and if it is your first time you will fall into unconsciousness due to the power making you weak.
Everything the book said Karl related to and remembered from his travel. Then he read something.. "time travelers can often start losing their memories of who they are, of who they care, for, and anything in between, there is no way to stop this" the book stated. Karl closed the book quickly and leaned back against a book shelf. He couldn't forget.. if he forgot himself he would forget his fiancé's..
Karl took a deep breath and got up and grabbed a blank book that was inside a chest. He started to write down about his adventure in the village where he met his friends. He knew if he couldn't remember his adventures with his traveling he could at least start writing stories about them without putting his name on them.
Karl spent the rest of the night writing about the village, cleaning up his books and putting them back up, and making a secret place to store his adventure stories. Karl's mind had blanked on the fact he had told Sapnap and Quackity that he would be gone for only an hour or so by the time it was the next morning.
Karl had fallen asleep curled up in the corner of his "kissing booth" which was more so a library by now but that wasn't the point. His fiancé's had been searching for him once again and had asked anyone and everyone if they knew where he was. They had checked his bed room first this time and got worried when they hadn't found him there. They were by L'Manburg and party park calling his name and looking everywhere for an answer or anything.
"Where could he be?" Quackity asked as they approached the kissing booth and party park. "I don't know but we'll find him, let's check in here" Sap said pointing to the kissing booth. Quackity agreed and as they walked in they both instantly saw a small curled up brunette ball on the floor in a corner. Quackity instantly rushed over to Karl to check he was okay and nothing was wrong with him and let out a relieved sigh when he saw he was just asleep. Q pulled the sleeping ball that was his fiancé into his lap.
Sapnap walked over and plopped onto the floor by them as he wrapped his arm around Quackity pulling him close. Karl remained asleep but cuddled close to Q and grasping onto Sap's hand that the other had put down for him. Sapnap and Quackity both smiled at his antics and stayed cuddled together slowly falling asleep as well.
It had been a stressful night for the lovers, two of them searching for their boyfriend while he tried to figure out the truth of himself. None of them knowing how much worse everything would grow for them..
