16. Sleepover P4: The Den

KARL POV:

I look around. George has fallen asleep, and Bad is trying not to join him.

"You guys wanna sleep now?" I chuckle.

Bad murmurs, and we start to get up. I look at Dream. "You gonna carry him or what?" Sapnap says gesturing at George. Dream sighs, and picks George up bridal style. I try not to laugh, and head upstairs. We trope up, and try not to disturb my mom's who are asleep. I check my watch. 4:30. We lasted well.

"If anyone's awake enough to want to get changed, I have an ensuite through there, and  you can use the bathroom in the hallway," I say, entering my room. I contemplate turning the light on, but decide against. I climb into my bed fully dressed, and snuggle under my blankets.

"Don't forget the dare," Skeppy mumbles. I feel someone get in on my left, and suddenly Sapnap has his arms around me. I bury my head in his shoulder, and Quackity joins us. He wraps his arms around us both, and I smile to myself.

"Uh, guys? What do I do with George?" Dream says.

"Plonk him down on a sleeping bag," Quackity says turning around. Dream does so, and then disappears from view.  I yawn, and soon I drift off to sleep.

~~timeskip~~

I open my eyes. Sapnap, Quackity and I are tangled up  in each others limbs, and I giggle softly. Raising my head slightly, I see George and Dream next to each other, talking in hushed voices. On the other side, Bad and Skeppy are still asleep, with their backs turned to each other.

"Morning," I whisper turning around.

"Morning lovebirds," Dream whispers back.

"Oh, don't start. Have you told George what happened last night?" I say.

He shakes his head and George looks confused.

"Well, Dream being the big simp he is, carried you upstairs bridal style," I say. George blushes furiously, and smacks Dream. Dream shrugs.

"I coulda left you on the sofa," Dream says.

George huffs. I giggle. I put my head back down and bury my head in the nearest shoulder I find. They continue to talk, and I stay in bed. In a bit, Quackity and Sapnap have woken up, so we start talking.

"Uhh," Bad groans, rolling over.

"Good morning," Dream laughs.

"What time is it?" He says groggily.

"8. Why?" I say.

"Right, goodnight, see you when I get more than 3 hours sleep," He rolls back over, and we chuckle.

BAD POV:

I wake up, rolling over.

"Good morning - again," Dream remarks.

"Shut up," I say, reaching for my glasses.

Skeppy laughs. "Did you wake up and fall asleep again?"

"Yup," I say, sitting up. I wince at the light shining through the windows.
"What time is it now?"

"10," Skeppy says, checking his phone. I nod.

"Hey, Bad, tell George we didn't do anything to him last night," Dream says, looking at me.

"Yeah, they didn't. Sapnap wanted to but Dream didn't let him," I add in that last bit. Dream blushes and George smiles.

"Cool. Thanks Dream,"

We sit in comfortable silence. Then the door opens.

"Morning sleepy heads!" Carol grins. Ugh, such a morning person. Wait, no, a normal person. It's 10.

"When you want to eat, there's porridge or pancakes," she says, disappearing again. At the mention of pancakes, we all scramble up and out the room. Her pancakes are the best.

When we get downstairs, there are pancakes, as promised. We squidge around the table and start eating. Karl's mom's must be out somewhere. The garden?

As usual, we strike up conversation. It's like before the soulmates thing happened. No awkwardness, just best friends having fun.
Aria sticks her head in briefly.

"Be good boys, we're going out, so no inviting girls round and having parties," she jokes. We laugh, and she leaves again.

"Hey Karl?" I ask, looking out the window.

"Mm," he says, not looking up.

"Do you still have that den behind the shed?" I ask.

He gasps and looks up. "I think we do,"

We all head out into the garden, and walk behind the shed. Whoever's up front pushes open a fence panel, and we all walk under. I emerge into a slightly overgrown, but still nice, fenced off area. It has big boxes and crates around a small table, and in the middle of a bush, a box.

Karl rushes to the box. He pushes it open, and pulls out a can of Monster.

"Yes!" He crows. "I hid a few here ages ago, when my mom's banned me,"

"And why did they ban you?" Sapnap asks dryly.

Karl blushes. "Because I had too many and ended up in hospital?"

"Exactly," Sapnap says.

"Aw, c'mon, someone has to have 'em," Karl whines.

"We can," Skeppy grins, leaning forward and taking one. The rest do the same, but I don't.

"Bad?" Skeppy offers me a can.

"Mm, no thanks. I'd rather stay tired," I say. He shrugs, and puts the can back.

George shivers.
"I know it's September, but it's cold. I'm going back in," He says, turning and going back through the fence. Dream follows him, agreeing.

Sapnap laughs. "Dream, you don't even get cold when it's snowing you simp,"

Dream flips him off before leaving.

He laughs again. "I'm gonna go back and get changed," He says, gesturing to himself.

"Bye," I wave as he leaves. Quackity and Karl soon follow, leaving Skeppy and I alone.

"What flavour did you get?" I ask.

He shrugs and takes another sip. I cough.

"I might- I'm going back in," I say. He nods, and as I leave, I look back at him. He looks... sad. I step through the fence, and back into the garden. I hear a bird in the background. I sigh. Walking back into the house, I look down at my clothes. Eh, I can get changed when I get home.

I wanted to explain the Monster thing, so here it is. It's just a headcanon I have in this au, cos I wanted to spice things up. Thats all
