Life has been hard recently.

With Karl and Quackity being gone so often and Sapnap barely holding it together after his "best friend" is sent to prison, the time they get to spend together is always so valued.

Sometimes it's something simple.

Karl had run into Quackity on his way back to Kinoko so they decided to head over together.

The walk was pleasant, the weather was beautiful and the other's company was so comforting. Of course there was the nostalgia that came from passing the ruins of L'Manberg but even that was taken in stride.

When they finally came upon the vast fields of flowers that housed their final piece, they were beyond eager to feel complete again.

As they approached the front door, they heard the beautiful music of a violin floating through the air.

The two looked at each other in surprise, where was the music coming from?

Karl unlocked the front door and the two headed up the stairs to their shared bedroom as the music became gradually louder.

They opened the door to see Sapnap himself creating the incredible music.

Their jaws dropped, they didn't know he could play the violin!

The other didn't notice the two listening in the doorway and continued to play until his song was finished and the claps of his lovers hit his ears.

He turned around surprised to see the two at the same time in the same place.

"KARL! QUACKITY!"

"Keep playing," Quackity says as he walks over to sit on the bed to watch.

"You sure?" Sapnap starts to feel self conscious.

"Yeah, please do, you play so beautifully." Karl moves to sit beside Quackity.

Sapnap nods and plays them songs until his wrists begin to ache, the other two never taking their attention away from him.

Sometimes it's something not so great.

"You're never fucking here Karl! What do you want me to say? Even Q shows up more than you do!" Sapnap gestures wildly with his arms, red in the face with tears streaming down.

"I don't have to tell you everything that I do Sapnap, you're not in charge of me." Karl looks tired and emotionless, and fuck does that remind Alex of something.

"No I'm not but don't you love us enough to want to be here?! You know how hard all of this is for Alex after Schlatt and yet you're still gone all the time! Do you care at all?!" Sapnap obviously doesn't know about the boy who's at the front door with pastries from Niki's bakery.

"Of course I care! Do you think I want to be gone all the time? I want to be here I do it's ju-"

"Just what Karl? If you want to be here then be here! Do you know how many nights Quackity wakes up from a nightmare and has to realize that you're not there? Do you know how hard that is for me? It takes twice as long to calm him down when you're not here. Or how about the nights when he wakes up screaming for you? What am i supposed to do then?"

Fuck. Alex knew he was a burden. Nothing has changed. He barged into this healthy relationship and now they're fighting. Maybe everything would be better if he left.
