Alter Ego [Karlnap]

Day After Day

4-1 Daily

Karl and Sapnap both sat on the bed, one between the others legs, book in his lap.

"I missed you," Karl chuckled, "excuse me for being so forward."

Sapnap shook his head, "I missed you too," he stated, returning to playing with the other's hair.

"I was waiting for you. I suppose it's odd for me to want to see you so badly... and for no reason in particular," he squirmed.

"Karl, please, we're dating, it's normal to miss each other even for just a second," Sapnap rolled his eyes and laughed.

"I'm glad that you feel the same way. I do like the times I think about you when we're apart. But of course I'd rather see and talk to you. Not just today, but tomorrow, and the day after that, too," Karl picked at loose strings on Sapnap's pants.

"Is wanting to be together too selfish a request?"

"Of course not, I'll always be here, you know this. I love spending time with you, Karl," he placed a gentle kiss on his head.

Silence danced between the two, Karl leaning into the raven's touch.

"Could you maybe tell me more about your world?" he inquired carefully.

"Well, I have a roommate, his name is Dream. We've got a pet cat named Patches too, I wonder how they're doing though. I've got a few friends that I talk to regularly, I'm a content creator," Sapnap happily indulged in his question.

Karl frowned, "do you ever wish you could see them again?"

"Sometimes, but I love you too much to go back," Sapnap laughed.

Karl tensed, his heart fluttering nonstop.

"You... you love me?" Karl wavered.

"Of course I do," Sapnap spoke nervously.

Karl leaned back into his touch again, Sapnap squeezing him close and giggling in his head at the brunet's flushed cheeks. Sapnap rolled his eyes, though didn't miss the way his heart fluttered too. Karl drew intricate patterns along Sapnap's legs, while Sapnap let his hands gently glide against the slightly exposed skin from his hoodie riding up, effectively tickling the boy.

"Ticklish are we?"

Karl shook his head violently, letting out a loud gasp and bursting into laughter as Sapnap attacked his sides and stomach with tickles.

"S-stop! Mercy!" he shouted between laughs.

Sapnap didn't stop until Karl was smacking his hands away, letting the brunet calm down before pulling him back between his legs and against his chest. For once in his life, Karl felt like he belonged.

"I love you too," he whispered.
