deception (Karl Jacobs)

Chapter thirty seven

One week in the future

You could feel it, all of it..the bitterness on on my tongue as I shouted at you, after all..it wasn't your fault..I just couldn't take it anymore and you knew that..but how long could you handle me like this Karl? How long until you would give up on me, like I have? I knew this would happen, but I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, and look what it's turned me into..I should have never done what I did. You know it too. If only we'd given it more thought, if only I hadn't convinced myself that I could be the exception, that you could keep me up right. But we're both only human after all..these type of things are not something a couple can withstand..possibly.

Present time

I sat before Karl's set up with him holding my hand as he begun the live stream. The camera was off and chat was already blowing up, I felt my breathe get heavy as I watched the texts rise, and rise. Karl squeezed my hand and gave me a quick glance,
"Are you ready?" He mumbled, I nodded softly and Karl reached his hand out, turning on the camera.
I could read the chats,
Who is that?
she's so pretty
why are they holding hands?
is that who I think it is?
omg she's karl's gf. wtf.
fuck her

"Hey chat! It's me, and well..this is Sulley." Karl looked to me again, I let go of his hand nervously and waved, "hi. It's me..Sulley.." I swallowed hard and tried to not eye the chat. I was grateful we remembered to turn of the tts or else I would have a straight panic attack, I was beginning to question why I did this. But keeping myself a secret would've been harder with Karl..it would've come out eventually, I would rather do it myself. And I didn't want to have a relationship with Karl and avoid going out in public in case someone put it together that we were dating. "Now we have so much explaining to do.." Karl chuckled nervously,
"I thought when I got a girlfriend we would keep it on the low..and not be this public but as you all can see..we didn't have much of a choice." He added.
"I figured it couldn't be possible for us to enjoy our time together out in public without people finding out that i'm Sulley. So here i am...I just wanted to remind you guys..that I am human after all..so please..don't start talking about the way I look in a negative way..there's a reason I started off as a faceless streamer..and that's one of them..I'm so scared of what you all think.."
"She has no reason to be.." Karl shot me a grin and I felt my cheeks get warm, "So let's explain..Karl would you like to go first?" I offered, he shrugged, nodding. "So..I met Sulley, at the mall, she was standing in the candle store and we all know I love Candles, I thought she was really pretty..but when I looked up she was gone, and then she bumped into me literally, we bought the same candle as each other and next thing you know she was gone out of the store..I had to return one of the candles I had bought the next day because the wick was too small, and she was there, again, returning the same candle as me..it felt like fate at the time literally..so I asked her to walk around with me..and then I found out all about the things she likes and doesn't like..and we just hit it off...and then we started texting and so on. Now I didn't know who she was..I didn't know about Sulley...I knew her as who she is when she's not Sulley. I mean we all know I hated her...of course I didn't know she was my enemy.." Karl chuckled, I rolled my eyes, "Yes, I hid Sulley from Karl, I would love for all of you to know that I did not want to be around him, I knew I didn't like him, he was mean to my alter ego so I didn't enjoy him, but once we bumped into each other a second time, I got curious, Karl's a very pretty boy, I couldn't help but let my curiously get the best of me...so I kept it a secret..for quite some time..and then he found out, because the guys kept calling my phone..which is kind of funny now..but he got very upset, obviously and we fought and stopped being friends, until the deleting of out channels bet..which made things worse..thanks Karl.." I turned to him with a grin and he frowned.
"Guys...who cares about the rest..I think we've given you enough of the information you need to understand where we're coming from. All of this was a big mess, but, we're really good together..and just let us prove it.." We both looked at each other and grinned softly, "Now...i'm going to turn Tts on so you guys can ask us some questions...if there's any hate, any at all..I'll end the live stream.." He reached the pc and turned the tts on, and I reached for Karl's hand nervously again.

i've been waiting for a collab, might've missed a few seasons but..it makes so much sense kisses from lola
ps Sulley, you're so pretty

I smiled to myself, feeling a lot less anxious now, "Thank you Lola, you're such a sweetheart.." I replied.

Have you two kissed?

Karl's eyes widened and he shot me a nervous glance, I chuckled which caused him to chuckle too, he shook his head, "Of course not."

Are you upset that you hated each other for so long? And can we ask why you did? You're both so sweet, it's just shocking to have seen you act that way towards only each other. It felt so personal.

"You know..I would love to answer..but we'd rather keep that to ourselves. It was very personal at the time..but we were just misguided..if that makes sense, we were just being mislead..and yeah..we really wish we figured it out sooner, everyone always wanted us to be friends, if only we had put our anger aside and given it a chance.." I responded, feeling confident in my answer. I was feeling grateful that people took the no hate tts very seriously..

the hottest couple i've ever laid my eyes on. Karl you better treat Sulley right!

Karl chuckled, turning to me, "Of course I will. I mean what the honk, how could I mess this up more than I have? I'm so lucky to have met her..even if it was messy.."

does this mean late alt streams with Sulley too? And we can finally see you guys just being yourselves together?

"Definitely, I can't wait for those.." He mumbled squeezing my hand.

Karl could do so much better than this. No wonder she's been hiding her face for-

Karl shut the live stream, turning his pc off completely. "We didn't need to hear the rest of that. You're the prettiest girl i've ever seen. So m'lady, care for some hot pockets and minecraft?
I grinned nodding happily. "Yes please."
