Chapter 20: I love you

TW: swearing, character death.

A week later.

Karl POV

I've been sitting in bed for a week. I haven't done anything. I haven't eaten, I haven't slept. I haven't taken care of myself at all. All I've done is cry. I've been crying for a week straight, and nothing more. Today was no different, I cried. That's it. Until I had an idea.

I got up for the first time in what felt like a month and walked over to my closet. I put on my usual hoodie and jeans. Put on my watch and goggles and ran to my library. I felt like absolute shit. I felt like at any second I could just pass out, but I can't. I keep running until I finally reach the library. I run in and get an energy drink. I crack it open and chug it. That was the first thing I've eaten in a week and it was not going down well. Right, when I drank it I turned the time back on my watch and transported me back to Sapnap's father's party. One of the times he missed with his fiancés.

Another week later.

Sapnap POV

Quackity has been working on Las Nevadas and made it clear to me that I was not welcome. After that, I started looking for Karl, and as always I can't find him. This time is different. It's been 2 weeks since I've seen him. So I decided to see Dream. He needs to know something.

"DREAM TELL ME WHERE KARL IS!" I yelled as I was being moved from the platform to the obsidian box that is Dream's prison.

"W-what?" he stammered trying to back up in a corner. As he did I got angrier and I was turning into fire.

"Karl is gone and I know YOU KNOW SOMETHING!"

"Oh, Karl! He'll be back soon enough, just be patient."

"Be patient? BE PATIENT? This is MY fiancé. I should know where he is!

"Don't worry he is somewhere where he is happy."

"W-What. No, he was happy."

"Did you really think he was happy? Of course, he wasn't. On the other hand, do you really not know? Does he really trust me enough to tell me and not tell you? "

"W-What the fuck are you-"

"He's scared- or he was scared. He's scared of you, He's scared Quackity was gonna become just like JSchlatt, He's scared you wouldn't have the patience for him, so he ran-"

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!"

"No? Or do I just know your fiance better than you know him. Sapnap, I know a lot more than anyone in this damn server would ever know."

"Like what?"

"Like how I used to be a time traveler. Like how I was in a different timeline. Like how in any other timeline L'manburg used me for power and took my power making me unimportant. I WAS FINALLY POWERFUL! Until I overused my power and now I'm stuck here and had to restart. I had to restart my life. But by this time I knew L'manburg couldn't be trusted. I used Tommy, Tubbo, Anyone who got in my way. And now I'm trapped in this FUCKING prison. With no way out. Oh and Karl is also a time traveler. Soon enough he will forget about you. He'll forget about everyone and everything. If I were you I'd look for him before he forgets. I don't think you have much time. I would start with the library."

By that time I had nothing to say. I just yelled for Sam and ran. Ran past the park we always had picnics. Ran past the community house. Ran past all of our memories. Until I made it to Kinoko.

I ran into the Library and looked for him everywhere until I found a trap door. It was the place he told me never to go. I know he would be mad but I need to find him. I opened the door and started climbing down the ladder. I finally hit the ground and saw about a dozen books of stories from the past that he had written. I was mesmerized by all the stories. I hadn't realized how much time had gone by. Until a portal appeared and Karl fell limp on the ground out of it.

I ran towards him and cradled him in my arms. His once colorful sweatshirt became smeared like it was fading apart. You could see tears streaming down Karl's face.

"C-carry me to Q-uack please." He sniffled and I got up and ran to Las Nevadas. Tears streamed down both of our faces while I ran towards the bright city. The stars and moon were out by now and I finally reached the city dropping to my knees. I was tired from running so far, but I made it and Karl was still awake somehow.

"HELLO, SAPNAP FROM KINOKO KINGDOM AND KARL FROM MULTIPLE TIMELINES! I'M MEAT!" a green looking man yelled at me while starting to dig a hole in the ground. "DAP ME UP!" I looked down at him.

"Um...Hello, Do you know where Quackity is? We need to talk to him." I pointed my head to Karl whose color was almost fully drained.

"Quackity from Las Nevadas! He's in his office!" he said and then someone came walking behind him. "Charlie who- K-Karl? W-what happened to him?!" Quackity asked, running towards him. "L-long story short I think this- this is it- I just wanted to tell you both I love- I love you. I've always loved you. I j-"

"No. Karl Jacobs you have to promise that you are not going to die on us. Don't you have another canon life please just. We haven't had our wedding, we haven't had our kids. We haven't had enough dates, enough time together. You have to stay." I said sobbing at this point. I looked over to Quackity telling him to say something, but he was just speechless.

"Karl Jacobs, will you be our husband for the rest of the time in your life? No matter what's in the afterlife you will love us and be with us when we find you there." Quackity started wiping his tears away.

"I do," Karl said.

"Sapnap Halo, will you be our husband for the rest of our lives? No matter what's in the afterlife you will love us and be with us when we find you there." Quackity asked again, looking over to me.

"I do," I said.

"And I Alex Quackity take you as my husbands for the rest of our lives. No matter what's in the afterlife I will wait for you." And we kissed each other.

"Karl Jacobs I just want you to know, That you did such a great job, hey, hey look at me. I'm very proud of you. I'm VERY very proud of you." Quackity picked Karl up and spread his wings around him. It was Karl's favorite thing is to just play with the yellow feathers.

"I love you guys." Karl started coughing and Quackity could feel him go limp in his wings.

"no, no, No, NO, Karl wake up. Please wake up. I love you, please. I need you. Sapnap what do we-I can't."

3rd

They stayed there all night. Cradling their dead husband. Crying out his name for him to come back until... "Hello?" a see thru looking version of Karl floated up to them. "I think I was meant to find you."
