Opposites || KARLNAP

Chapter 9

Sapmap picked up the TV remote and turned on the big screen. He then pressed 'Netflix' and then typed in 'horror' and started scrolling down. Even the thumbnails of the movies scared me. I don't know if I can do this.

I shifted uncomfortably under the covers. I slowly grabbed the end of the bedsheet and pulled it up to my chin, almost as if I was hiding myself. Sapnap clearly noticed my fear and put the remote down and turned his attention to me.
"You alright?" He asked.
"Huh? Me? Yeah! I'm great!" I lied, once again.
"You sure? You look a bit frightened. Is it the movie?" He asked me, again.
"Okay fine, I'm not the biggest fan of horror movies." I admitted shamefully.

I could tell Sapnap was very confused since I just told him horrors were my favourite genre of movies and now I'm telling him that I'm scared of them.
"I thought they were your favourite?" He asked me.
"No.. I just wanted to seem cool..." I looked away, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Really? Karl you didn't have to do that.. I already think you're cool." The black haired boy said these words and I instantly felt my heart skip a beat.

"Really?" I asked, just to make sure Sapnap wasn't pranking me.
"100 percent!" He smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile back. "How about this, if you get scared, just come cuddle me. I'll make sure the monsters don't get you." He chuckled, but I could tell he was being serious about me cuddling him.

My cheeks burnt up as I tried to process what he just said. 'He has no idea what he's doing to me.' I thought to myself.

"Okay, thank you." I smiled at Sapnap, again.

The movie has now been playing for about 38 minutes. It's been fine so far. It's about a middle aged man who lives in a dark, lonely mansion all alone. But, he's actually not alone. One day, he decides to go into his basement to get some candles, since he assumed that's where they'd be. But oh boy, the man found something much worse than candles.

Two crocodiles had been living and repopulating in his basement. Since nobody had lived in that house for about 40 years before the man came, the crocodiles had much time to have children. There was now about 60 crocodiles living in the basement.

As soon as the man opened the basement door, a big crocodile jumped across the screen and I let out a brutal scream, jumping out of pure fear.

"Fucking hell-" Sapnap said, clearly terrified as-well. I then thought about his offer from before and decided to go for it. I slowly crept over to Sapnap's side of the bed and I could tell his eyes were on me at all times. I slowly put my right arm around his back and rest my head on his shoulder. I then slid my other hand across his stomach onto the other side of his waist.

Sapnap smiled down at me and then moved closer, leaning his head on mine. Surprisingly, this actually made me less scared. He always made me feel safe, even when watching horror movies. Is there anything this pretty boy cannot do?

The movie still had multiple jump scares, but it wasn't even half as frightening since Sapnap was right next to me, cuddling me the whole time. I had gotten crazy butterflies as he breathed in and out, loudly. Even the way he breathed was sexy. Was That even possible?

"the end" the words showed up on the big flatscreen TV and I could feel a wait lifted off my shoulders. I was so glad that this experience was over. Well... some of it at least. I didn't want to move from this comfortable position. Not in the slightest.

"Well. What did you think about the movie?" Sapnap spoke with his head still laying on mine.
"It was pretty good." I lied again. "What about you?"
"Meh. Kinda boring. Can we sleep now?" He asked, looking down at me, but my eyes were already closed. He smiled at me and slowly shifted down the bed, moving his body position into a comfortable lying down pose.

Third Person POV:
After Sapnap was in a comfortable lying down position, with Karl's head on his chest and his right arm around his back and his left arm on Karl's lower stomach, he looked down at the little brunette. He planted a small kiss on Karl's head, lovingly. After the kiss he was a bit confused on why he did it, but he did not regret it.

Wow, how much he loved looking at the short brunette. He was so beautiful, even when he was sleeping. Karl let out a small snore every once in awhile, which made Nick giggle.

"How'd I get so lucky to have this pretty boy on my chest?"
