TW's:

-Nick POV-

I woke up facing away from Karl, I felt a small hand and something cold on my hip. I looked down and saw Karl's hand with the rose band on it, I beamed and turned around in bed. I saw Karl sitting up in bed, he was on his laptop and he had put on a pair of boxers. He was looking at his computer screen intently, I pulled the covers off of my chest which got his attention and he looked over at me and smiled. 

"Hi bub." He said to me, running his hand across my chest. 

"Hi Kar." I said to him, leaning over to my dresser to get some underwear. I pulled them on and reached over to cup his face with one hand, kissing his lips. He smiled into the kiss and then pulled back, looking back at his computer screen. 

"What are you working on?" I asked him, standing up and walking to the bathroom that was connected to our room.

"I just had a missing assignment I needed to finish." I heard him say, a few seconds later I heard him close his laptop and move around in bed. 

"I'm going to take a shower." I said to him, peeking my head out of the doorway. 

He was laying his head down on the pillow and he had his knees up, he was scrolling through something on his phone. "'kay." He said to me with a smile. 

I got showered quickly and threw on light purple sweat pants and a white, longish, short sleeved t-shirt. 

When I opened the bathroom door and I saw Karl looking at himself in the mirror, he had on a baby blue crop top that had thin straps on it, it stopped halfway on his stomach and you could see his tan skin. He had a skirt on that was also a baby blue color but it was more lavender, there were small daisy flowers that were on the skirt and there was a tear on the side of it, showing off his tan legs that were perfectly shaped. 

I walked over to him and hugged him from behind, we looked at each other in the mirror. "You look beautiful." I said to him and put my chin on his head. 

He put his arms around my back and kept looking at me in the mirror. "Thank you." He said and smiled. 

"What do you want to do today?" I asked him, fixing the spaghetti strap on his shirt. "It's our last full day here." I added. 

"Can we take pictures on the beach?" He asked me, pulling his skirt down a little and fixing the rosey ring on his finger. "Oh and there's like a trail back over there we can go on." He said, pointing toward the back of the house. 

"okay." I said, walking out of our room and downstairs. 

He put on white air forces and we walked out the door. "There's a cafe here we can go get breakfast at." I said to him, grabbing his hand and looking around. 

Our house was down a small hill that was on a weird sort of cul-de-sac in the middle of it there was a circle of grass and some tree and the road split around it, going to all the different houses near us. 

I heard a soft meow and I looked at Karl, he was looking at me too, confused. Not many people had cats around here. I was just about to say that it was probably just a kid or something when a small calico cat came wandering off of our neighbors porch, it came running at our feet and rubbed it's head against Karl's leg, making him squat down and pet the cat. "aweee." Karl said, scratching its head. 

I bent down and looked at it's collar, it had the address of our neighbors and it said it's name was Sneaker. "The collar says it's named Sneaker." I said to Karl. 

He giggled and rubbed it's stomach. It flopped down on it's side and Karl smiled brighter, petting in between its ears. 

I stood and watched him pet the cat for a few minutes, he looked so wholesome. "C'mon Karrrr, I'm hungry." I whined. 

He looked up at me and stuck his lower lip out. "Pleaseeee." I said to him, shaking his shoulder. 

"Fineee." He said back, petting the cat one last time and then taking my hand again. 

I got a latte from the cafe and Karl got an iced peach green tea lemonade. We walked the same way to the beach and Karl looked out into the ocean, I pulled my phone out and took a picture of him, his tan skin stood out in the photo, making it look aesthetic. 

He turned around after a second and saw my phone pointed at him, he scrunched his nose up and I took another picture, smiling at him from behind my phone. He ran over to me and sat down in the sand, careful not to get any up his skirt. I put my hand on his thigh and he smiled at me, taking a sip of his drink. 

His ring gleamed in the sunlight and I took his hand in mine to look at it. I studied it for a little bit before leaning my head back up, kissing the side of his forehead. I leaned back so I was propped up by my elbows in the sand and Karl scooted toward me, laying his head on my shoulder. I brought my hand up to his hair and gently massaged his head, making him lean on me more. He put his feet up and flat on the sand so his knees were bent. 

We basked in the sunlight for awhile, Karl getting new freckles across his cheeks and a darker tan. 

I got up and pulled Karl up too, he wiped the sand off his skirt and we walked up the wooden stairs. "We should probably start packing." I said to Karl reluctantly. I didn't want to leave but I knew I had to since college classes were starting back up again. 

-Time skip to when their back at the campus because I have writer's block.-

-A/N: let's say this is like five months later.-

I opened the cabinet in our dorm room, grabbing a granola bar and sitting down next to Karl at the small breakfast bar. 

"My parents keep bugging me about meeting you." He said to me when I sat down. 

"Why don't we go fly over there?" I suggested. 

"Mmmmm." Was all he responded with, laying his head down on the counter. 

"Kar, you know we have to see them at some point." 

"I know, I just feel like it's going to be weird." He explained to me. "My boyfriend meeting my parents." He scrunched his nose up. 

"Well it's Summer in like a week, we should go." I said to him, finalizing my decision. 

He took a breath in, "I'll text them." He said in an exhale. 

"It'll be great, nothing can go worse than when you met my parents." I said to him. "And their not homophobes so.." I gave him a thumbs and and a smile, rubbing his back.
