TW//Drinking//mentions of abuse

Karl's POV

"He's just drunk, he has no clue what he's saying" Alex said sternly while pushing Sapnap off of me.

I fixed my sweater so it was no longer wrinkled from him grabbing it. "No he sounds like he knows exactly what he's talking about" I put my head down and walked toward the door to leave. I just wanted to go home, and lay down maybe cry myself to sleep. This was a big mistake, i should've known it would have been like this.

While nudging past some people trying to find my way to the door, i felt a hand firmly grab my shoulder. I was already tense so i turned around and pushed the hand away quickly. I then realized it was Sapnap, i put my head down turning back away as he was the last person i wanted to see right now.

"Karl stop please, just wait" Alex said loud enough for me to hear.

I paused, my back still towards them. I inhaled a deep breath and slowly let it out before turning around.

"What?" i said so uninterested in this conversation.

Sapnap and Alex were standing next to eachother, Alex would look up at Sapnap and nod in my direction. He wasn't slick, it was clearly obvious that Alex was making him apologize.

"I don't want no half assed apology because you were told to, i got invited here, i wouldn't have even come if i knew a dirtbag like you would be here" I sighed, i wanted to get that off my chest badly. Now i know that probably wasn't the best way to word it, but i was angry and i still am.

"Cut it out, you don't know him and he doesn't know you, but since you don't want him saying anything how about i try and make it up to you? You and Sapnap can stay over at my house tonight, we can watch a movie and eat ice cream while y'all can get to know eachother"

That wasn't a bad plan, i can't remember the last time i had a sleepover somewhere. Plus ice cream and a movie sound good right about now. My parents don't allow me to eat sugary things past 10 pm.

Sapnap shook his head "whatever" he said as he downed the drink in his hand before brushing past my shoulder walking towards the door. I caught a good whiff of his cologne. The smell hit me hard as i was not expecting it, but it was a good smell.

Sapnap's POV

Karl and Alex followed me getting into my car. I have a nice truck, it's a little rusty here and there but that's how i like it. I put the keys in the ignition and twisted, hearing the glorious sound of it starting up. I already knew where Alex lived as i have been there multiple times.

Once we all arrived and made it inside, not much changed from the car, there's still the awkward silence in the air. I walk over to Alex's fridge and help myself. Eating kills my buzz, so i'll be sober soon. I go and sit on the couch, turning on the tv in the process. Alex was showing Karl around his house telling him shit like "you can come by anytime".

I was really into the television when i seen someone enter my peripheral vision. I turn and i see Karl standing there. To be honest i wanted nothing to do with him, i didn't want to get to know him. I just couldn't take that risk, not again. If my dad found out i was doing all this shit again, he won't send me to the hospital, he'll send me 6ft into the ground.

Karl's POV

"Alex is in the bathroom, he said he'll be out here soon" I say quietly to the brown haired male on the couch.

I didn't get a response back, i figured he still wouldn't want to talk to me. Why does he hate me so much? I walk over to the other side of him and sit down. He gives me a shady look but i just ignore it.

"Listen i don't know you, and i don't know why you hate me so much, but i would like to know" I asked curiously. I wanted to know what it was about me, that he hated.

"I don't have to tell you shit" he replied as he shrugged.

"Yeah but considering the way you blew up, even though you were drunk. You seem like you have a lot of built of rage. Wouldn't it be nice to get it off your chest to someone other than Alex?" God i talk a lot, i don't even mean to. It's just everything i have to say seems like so much.

Sapnap's POV

I turn to look at the male sitting next to me, "Why don't you just mind your business" I scoffed

"Well you've been an absolute ass to me, and i'm still here trying to understand, that's gotta mean something right?" he put his hand on my shoulder.

I pushed his hand off of me, "if you do that again i'll chop off your hand and feed it to my dog"

Karl smiled at me, why is he smiling at me? I just threatened him. He should be doing everything but smiling at me. Ugh why does it wanna make me smile. I turn my head back towards the television to avoid eye contact.

"Well we are spending the night together, so if you change your mind i'm here" Karl stood up right after saying that not even giving me enough time to respond. Why is he trying so hard to understand? Why does he care, and most importantly, why is he making me feel this way?

Karl's POV

I knew whatever it was bothering him it had to be important. People just don't blow up like that for no reason.

He said "I can't risk it again" to Alex when we were at the party. Whatever "it" is, i wanna try my best to not let it happen. Sapnap looks like he could use a new friend. Something about him just makes me wanna keep talking to him, even though he's a complete asshole. Something just makes me wanna learn more.

I walk up to the bathroom and knock on the door. "Are you doing okay in there?" I chuckled only hearing spanish cuss words in response. That spanish class i took came in handy when i realized he said "i'm shitting fuck off". Meaning i had some time to try and learn some more about Sapnap.

I think i might be getting somewhere with this 🤨
