the coffee shop

first stream

I was scrolling through twitter, he had himself muted, I had pulled up the stream to see what people were saying, I had the sound off, the chat was all just "who are you playing with?", "who's the special guest?" and things like that, I look up from my phone to see him smiling at me, he unmutes, "y/n, you ready?" he asks.  " more than ever Karl." I say with a smile, he smiles back at me, I log into the world,  'karljacobs joined the game' the chat says, I smile as chat floods with " woah"'s and "pog"'s. 

I look over to Karl on the other screen, and hes just smiling and giggling, I start giggling as well and he looks over at me, we lock eyes for a second until he breaks the contact and talks to chat nervously, which bye the way, they saw it all.. I get nervous and start randomly answering questions coming in in donations, or in chat. we get back to a comfortable stage and then start getting deep into Minecraft, building in creative, going far away from the builds and blowing things up. all while laughing our heads off. 

we go to a survival world, as soon as we get in, I start chasing Karl with and axe that I created before he got the chance to join, " WHAT THE ACTUAL HONK Y/N?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" he yells getting angry and hiding to craft some tools, he comes out of his hiding place and can't find me, I see his gamertag through some dirt, im crouched in a hole I had found, I jump out and start attacking him, I start laughing when I finally kill him, hes angry for a couple of seconds then looks at me and starts laughing along with me. I wipe away some tears from laughing so hard, as I get a call from my mom.

KARLS POV:

we were playing and having a good time when I heard y/n's phone start to ring and their face dropped, they left the room, all I hear is a faint, " you okay mom?" from behind the door, then it goes silent and I start to worry, i switch to full screen face cam, look up at my webcam, "alright guys, thats it for today, sorry for the short stream" I say with a smile on my face, I get up and hug my webcam, "hugs, love you guys" I say then I rade ranboo, who is playing Minecraft with tubbo and Technoblade, I turn off my stream and wait for y/n to come back, I go on my phone. as I am scrolling through twitter checking some fan art from people, I hear the door open on the other side of the computer scree, y/n walks in wiping their face, "y/n? what happened? everything okay?" I ask tearing up myself (I hate seeing people cry), " sorry about that Karl.. my mom..." they say with a cracky voice, sobbing in-between words. " y/n, im here, its okay.. you can tell me anything." I say trying to sound honest and venerable, " I dont wanna talk about it over the phone, can you come over? ill send you my address.. I need someone right now" y/n says, " yes of course ill go get in the car, want me to stay on the phone with you till I get there?" I ask and they nod. I switch the call over to my phone, get my keys and a hoodie for them, then go to my car, I get in and they send their address.i pick up some ice cream and flowers on my way over, telling them I had to run into a store to grab something, I then go straight to their house, knocking on the door.

Y/N'S POV: 

I hear a knock on my door, I walk over wiping my face, I open it to Karl standing with flowers and a grocery bag with ice cream cups in it, I let him in, close the door, and then I hug him, he sets the bag and flowers on the ground before hugging me back, he rubs my back as I sob into his shirt, I start to clam down and start to release my hug, I look up at him, " sorry about that..ive never had someone come to my cry for help." I say he looks down at me with the sweetest smile ever, "why wouldn't I? you need help and to talk, im now committed to being your friend, ill be by your side, no matter what" he says then hugs me again, rubbing the back of my head. I smile into the hug, I take a breathe in, 'he smells good' is all I think, " wanna talk about it now y/n?" he asks as we walk over to the couch, I nod, grabbing a blanket, then sitting down and sighing.

"whenever your ready y/n. im not going anywhere." he says smiling at me, I take a deep breathe look at him and smile a little.

" when I was little, I lost my older brother to cancer.. he was my everything. hes the one who was alway there for me, and since I lost him, you are the first person to actually care about me, other then my mom." I explain tearing up again, Karl grabs my hand and holds it, I continue, " when I left the room during stream..." I put my head down, beginning to sob again, he rubs my hand with his thumb, "Karl...she has the same cancer he had.." I say, not being able to hold it together,  i pull my free hand up to my face to cover it, I clench his hand, he scoots closer to me and hugs me, rubbing my back and caressing the back of my head, he starts to cry and I lift his head to see his face, he looks at me in my eyes, " why are you crying Karl?" I ask him with a shaky voice, "because you trust me.. and I can't imagine what your going through, if I ever lost my brother, or sister, I would be crushed..and im really sorry about your mom, you have me no matter what, and I need you to know that." he says looking me dead in the eyes, the softest eyes ive ever seen,  I smile at him and I hug him again. 

KARL POV:

I was hurting for them..I can imagine what was going through their head. all I could think if right now, is I have to protect them with all I have, I will be here even if they dont want the help. 

Y/N'S POV:

I really enjoy having Karl around me, he makes me feels safe, and hes super sweet. im happy I talked to him during my first shift at work...I see a long, emotional, and supportive friendship between us.. but I dont just like him as a friend..
