I'm going through the basics, which you will probably know if you have read my Wilbur Soot story, no smut, the reader is female, there will be swearing and some inappropriate jokes, and please give feedback. Also, a lot of this is pre-written before...
After the whole new year's talk, we decided that we would call a few friends and all count down together. Of course, the British people would still have to wait five hours, so we wouldn't be calling them. So there would be us, Clay, Nick, and someone named Schlatt? I don't know. We decided not to dress up because Alex didn't want to.
Today was prep-day. Asking the three people if they wanted to come, getting snacks, and thinking about what we will be doing in the meantime.
I was thinking that I will be in my room, probably doing nothing. I had none of my instruments and I didn't want anybody hearing me sing. I mean now I'm in North Carolina because of the last time someone heard me sing.
I was sitting in my room on my phone, checking socials. I saw this video of Karl singing Panic at the disco. Hmm. Cute. What? I didn't say anything.
Because of that video, I added But It's Better If You Do to Karl's Playlist.
I ran downstairs while texting, which was a very bad idea, based on the fact that Karl walked next to me and I almost fell forward down the stairs. He put his arm in front of me really fast.
"Woah Y/n." I look up from my phone to look at him. We made eye contact and both started to blush.
"Sorry about that, I was texting Nick and Clay if they wanted to come tomorrow." I apologized.
"Well I just honking saved your life, you're welcome." He smiles.
"Oh thank god for you Karl you are my lord and savior," I say sarcastically while smiling and rolling my eyes. His smile is so contagious. I mean- what?
He giggles. We continue to pass each other. I felt weird when he did that. The catching me, the smile, the giggle. It's probably just being scared I was gonna fall right? Just nerves? Yeah, let's go with that.
Me: How do you feel about being on a call with me Alex and Karl for new years eve tomorrow night? We can all count down together.
Clay: Yeah okay! That'll be fun! I'm just gonna have to turn off my webcam.
Nick: OKAY
Me: Yay! I'll tell the boys!
Nick: Before you do that Y/n, how's it going with Karl😏
Me: Umm, what do you mean by that?
Clay: I'm pretty sure he means to ask, have you processed your feelings for him yet?
Me: STOP! I don't and will NEVER like Karl! How hard is that to process?!
I put my phone down on the kitchen island and go upstairs to change.

I put a few rings on and run downstairs. I go into the kitchen to see Karl walking there as well. Alex is already in there laughing. I open my mouth to speak but before I can he cuts me off.
"Y/n your phone kept going off with texts from your friends. Something about you liking K-" I snag the phone out of his hands.
"Why were you looking at my phone?!"
"Hold on hold on. We have something else to talk about first," Alex starts. Karl walks in. "Do you?" He looks at Karl then back at me.
"One, ew. Two, gross. Three, that's disgusting."
"Do you what." Karl asked.
"Nothing. It doesn't matter." I say.
"Uhh, okay? Anyway, what snacks are we getting?" Karl asked.
"Chips, m&ms, stuff like that." Alex says.
"CAN WE GET GOLDFISH!" Karl yells.
"Ooo yeah, but not the normal kind. This is a special occasion were talking about here. Extra cheddar." I respond.
He gasps. "Let's go." He grabs the keys and I leave with him.
We get in the car and he decides he wants to drive. Once he pulls out of the driveway he starts to speak. "You know, your trying to break me with your pure and utter bitchyness, but I was just nice to you, and then you WANTED to come to get goldfish with me." He states.
"Well, goldfish are pretty important ya know? I mean they ARE the snack that smiles back. I mean I am that as well, but they have branding." I joke.
"You don't smile back. You just roll your eyes."
"You didn't disagree with the snack part." I said under my breath. He didn't hear.
"You only smile when I smile at you, cause maybe I'm not the only simp here. Saying IF I were to simp, I wouldn't be the only one."
"You liar. I do not smile at you, because I do not like you." I say putting my feet up on the dashboard.
"Don't do that." He said looking at me for a split second.
"Why, is it hurting your precious car?" I tease.
"No, if we got in a car accident you could seriously hurt yourself." He said kinda quietly. I smile.
When we get to the store we go inside and grab a cart. I look down from there being a lot of people there. "You anxious?" Karl whispers to me.
"Uhh no. Why would I-"
"You don't have to hide it Y/n."
"Then yeah, kinda." He just grabs my hand and I keep looking at the ground. One, because I was still kinda anxious. Two, I was blushing like a madman.
Eventually, I got pretty comfortable with my surroundings, which I normally don't do, but being with Karl kinda made me feel better. But he could never know that. Before we put anything into the cart, I used Karls support to sit in it. I didn't wanna walk, and why not. He will simply be my peasant.
We get to an aisle and he sets up his phone. "If we were to take a picture together, could I post it on my Instagram?" He asked.
"Yeah, why?" He just puts the timer on, on his phone and we take a picture.
