   i'm starting to question my friendship with alex. i mean, yes, he's a good guy. but i feel like he's trying to make me jealous on purpose. no way he actually likes y/n, right?

wait, that doesn't even make sense. he did say he didn't like them. but, what if he's lying? after all, he was drunk. then again, drunk words are sober thoughts.

   i probably shouldn't overthink it. it's gonna get me nowhere if i do. oh well. i got up off my bed and left my room, taking my phone with me. i'm starving.

   my head hurts. why did i drink so much beer last night? and what happened? i hope i didn't do anything stupid. i rolled out of bed, i couldn't stand up without my eyesight becoming a mess.

   i slowly look up, and the iron deficiency didn't really make my head hurt. the back of my neck itched, so i did what any normal person would do, and scratched it. i got up, and i left my room.

oh, there's karl. must've recently woken up, too.

author's pov

karl and alex bump into each other on the way to the kitchen. alex gave a friendly wave, along with a tired "good morning" to karl. in return, karl just looked at him with a straight face and waved, not an ounce of friendly in it.

alex knew something was up. it was usually karl that was the clingy one. alex's eyebrow raised in confusion as karl walks past him, focusing on his phone.

karl walks in the kitchen and finds y/n standing by the counter, resting their hand on the top. they have a glass of water in their hand, and they were focusing on their phone screen in front of them.

karl immediately switched up, and greeted y/n with a friendly "hey", in which y/n does the same. alex walks in shortly after, and he and y/n greet each other. karl looked slightly uncomfortable the moment alex walked in.

your pov

you felt like something happened between karl and alex. the two looked like they had an arguement last night. keeping that in mind, you finished your glass of water and went back up to your room. on your way back, alex informed you of what time you had to be at headquarters.

you immediately picked out an outfit you liked, and got ready for the day. brushed your teeth, showered, changed. you went back downstairs the moment you finished preparing, but stopped before you got to the kitchen.

oh god. the memories are kicking in. i put a hand on my head, hoping it would help my headache. flashbacks of last night enter my mind, and as soon as it's over, my eyes widen in realization. so that's why karl's mad at me.

i better apologize to him. even if i'm right, that doesn't mean he has to feel bad about it. i look over at karl, and tap his shoulder.

he looks over at me, "yeah?"

"remember last night's conversation? about you and y/n?" i asked him.

"mhm. what about it?" he replied.

"look, i know i kinda sounded like i was making fun of you, but i wasn't. i completely understand that you like them." i say, putting an arm on his shoulder. "it's okay to be wrong sometimes."

"the hell do you mean by that?" karl asked, slightly pissed off.

"oh, come on. you've known them for so long. if they aren't sure about you now after that many years, it's probably going to be bad news. love your confidence in them, though." i say, taking a sip of orange juice.

karls pov

that tears it. i grabbed alex's shirt, and pulled him towards me in anger. "look. if you remember that part of the conversation, then you'll remember that i also asked you not to pursue y/n."

"when did i say i was after them?" he asked in response.

"you're joking me. i see the way you look at them. you two were even close to kissing that one time!" i tell him.

"are you serious?! you know that was an accident!" he defends.

"oh, really? explain your extremely red face that time! admit it, you like them, too." i say.

alexs pov

i had nothing to say to that. i turned to look away from his face. i'll admit in my head, i had a crush on y/n back when we were 6. but, times have changed since that.

now that i think about it, what if i do like them? yeah sure, they are pretty attractive. i also like the way they handle tough situations. ugh, and that smile. that utterly adorable smile.

oh no. karl's right. i still like them! what's gonna happen now? no, no, alex. you don't like them, it's just a crush! a crush i had since....13 years ago. yeah, never mind.

but what do i say to karl? either way, he'll find out and his feelings will be hurt. as much as he's being an asshole right now, i can't do that to him.

karl then let go of my shirt. "i knew it."

"wait, no, i don't-"

"yeah, you do! you just went completely silent when i asked you that question!" he yelled. karl then walked away from me. "you know what? you can keep pursuing them. but, just know, i'm doing the same."

your pov

you couldn't believe what you just heard. at first it was just karl that liked you, but now there's alex? oh, you poor soul. before karl could catch you listening, you quickly ran upstairs to the front of your room to make it look like you just came out.

of course, you saw karl angrily walking up the stairs. in an attempt to cheer him up, you struck a conversation with him.

"karl! something wrong?" you called out to him.

"huh? oh, it's nothing. just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, i guess." he replied.

obviously, you knew that was a lie. but, no need to start more drama. so, you pretended to ignore it and moved on. you walk into the kitchen and see alex with a worried face.

"you okay?" you asked.

"yeah, yeah, nothing wrong. just thinking about what's gonna happen with the wild cards." he answered.

"hey, don't worry. the plan we have right now is going to work. all we need is time." you reassured him.

he smiled a bit, "thanks."

alex then went up to his room to get ready, or so you assumed. you sat down on the couch, still deep in thought about what to do about karl and alex crushing on you.

after what alex said about you probably not liking karl, that just cleared almost everything for you. but, how would one of them react if you chose the other? this situation was so complicated it made your head hurt.

who would you choose?
