"aren't you guys so happy you get another roomie for the next week? we get to hang out and play games and cuddle all week long." sapnap said as he wrapped an arm around both talia and karl.

"it's the best." talia said sarcastically, letting a laugh slip.

"i'll help you bring your bags in. talia, do you wanna find us a movie to watch?" karl asked and walked with sapnap outside when talia agreed.

as soon as they were outside and the door was shut, karl's demeanor shifted.

"don't get me wrong here, i'm super happy to see you. super stoked. but, um, why didn't you tell me?" karl asked awkwardly.

"because, my dearest karl," he said as he placed a hand on karl's shoulder. "you need my help."

"what's that supposed to mean?" karl asked, watching his friend walk away from him and open his car trunk.

"listen, dude. i get it, talia is still grieving her relationship, and you have been so great helping her not completely fall apart. but its time to make your move. and i know you won't without a push. so that's why i'm here." sapnap said as he slammed his trunk closed.

"hi chat." sapnap quickly unmuted the microphone before immediately muting it again.

the chat went crazy, spamming his name as they were forced to keep watching the stream starting soon screen. him and talia laughed as they watched the chaos he caused.

"i guess we will go ahead and start," karl said, quickly turning on the camera. "guys!! look who is here!"

"it's talia!" sapnap said as he pointed at her.

"and more excitingly, sap!!" she added.

karl sat in the middle of the two as they all read the chat and greeted them all, answering questions they presented.

"we want to play a little bit of akinator for a bit if that's okay with you guys," karl said as he typed in the website. "let's start with seeing if they can guess talia."

it began with asking a few questions to get on track. is your character from an anime? is your character female? is your character a real person? and then it began narrowing down the options with more specific questions.

"is your character a famous youtuber? i don't know if i would say famous." talia said awkwardly.

"get off of your humble arc. you're the most famous." sapnap said as he clicked 'yes'.

"is your character in a relationship? ha- sooo." talia laughed as she quickly grabbed the mouse and clicked no, getting a laugh out of the boys.

the chat immediately began to freak out. while there had been assumptions due to both max and talia deleting their pictures, this was the first confirmation that any of the fans had received.

they attempted to continue but the amount of people asking questions was overwhelming.

"yes, they split, but please respect their privacy guys. come on, you know what's cool and what isn't." karl said as they continued the game.

"i wanna see if it can guess patches." sapnap said, taking the lead on answer the questions.

talia started to regret drawing attention to her break up, because now she had to deal with the reality of the internet knowing. she sat with a somewhat blank expression, watching sapnap click different answers. karl took notice of her absent stare. he reached under the table and squeezed her hand where the stream couldn't see. she offered him a smile, sitting up and offering a more welcoming persona for the viewers.

the three were soon joined by quackity who was spamming all of them to call him and make him feel included.

"talia!!" he said in a high pitched voice when he joined the call.

"quackity!!" she responded, equally as high.

"hi, i'm here too." sapnap said with a pout.

"and you look fine as hell, don't you pretty boy?"

it was maybe about an hour into the stream when talia started yawning. she was trying as hard as she could to keep her eyes open, but accidentally let her eyes rest for a bit too long and slipped into sleep. her head rested on her fist with her knees pulled up to her chest.

"no way she just fell asleep." sapnap said as he looked over at the sleeping girl.

"fun fact chat: talia falls asleep easier than anyone i've ever met. you could be in the middle of talking to her and she'll pass out." quackity exposed to the viewers.

"i think this is her way of saying we should end things here," karl said as he stood up and opened his arms wide. "hugs to all of you. i love you guys so much. thanks for hanging with us and we will see you very soon. byeeee."

karl and sapnap both waved until they knew the stream was completely ended. they both carefully backed away from the desk, not wanting to wake up talia.

"will you get the door?" karl asked.

he then leaned down and carefully picked up his friend, the way that a groom would carry his bride. it was pretty effortless for him to carry her, but mentally he took note that he was holding his whole world. he carefully carried her out of his room and into the bedroom. when he laid her on the bed she let out a small groan and rolled over.

"sshh." karl gently pulled the blanket over her body, and when he assured she was good, he left the room and met sapnap in the hallway.

all of a sudden he felt so many emotions rush over him. he looked at his friend and could feel his eyes fill with tears as he was trying to process everything he was feeling.

"i know." sapnap said. karl didn't need to say anything for him to understand his tears. he reached an arm out and pulled him into a hug.

"no, you don't get it, nick." karl said as he cried into his shoulder, clenching the back of his shirt in his fists.

"yes i do. you love her."

"i love her so much. i love her so, so much. i want her more than anything."
