Karlnap - Life isn't quite what I thought I'd be

4

Karl POV

Karl was woken up by banging on his front door, suddenly making him aware of how much of a mess he was. He had tear stained cheeks, and blood so over his arm, 'it doesn't matter.' He thought. 'No one cares about me anyway, there's no need to worry. It's most likely some random delivery dude.'

Sapnap POV

 " Karl... " Sapnap whispered, seeing his bloody arm, "Wha-what happened?"

 " Nothing. Well... Nothing that matters, anyway. " replied Karl.

 "What do you mean, nothing?!"

 "I mean, nothing that matters! And why do you have to know everything little thing about personal life?"

 "Karl, what happened?!" He said, more firmly then before.

 "Nothing!!"

 "Karl?" He whispered.

 "I said it before, literally nothing!!"

 "KARL, THIS IS NOT FUCKING NOTHING!! YOU WALK OUT OF THIS HOUSE, CRYING AND COVERED IN CUTS, AND SAY IT'S NOTHING?!"

 " I think we should go inside, but still, I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU EVERY LITTLE DETAIL OF MY LIFE!! WHY THE HONK DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?! "

 "BECAUSE - because I care about you, Karl Jacobs. It matters to me that you're safe."

 "Sapnap.."

 "Yes, Karl..." Sapnap quietly replied, hoping Karl would finally open up...

 "What happened?" 

TW// Description of injury (blood, bruises and bone) I've been leaving this until the last moment, so you can read to as much of the story as possible

Btw, ik my writing's terrible, so please let me know if you think I do really need a trigger warning there, or if i need that it a CW or TW anywhere else :D

Karl POV:

He had finally realised that he wasn't the only one to have blood dripping down his back. Sapnap was covered in little bruises, and he had a shard of glass embedded deep inside his cheek, and he had a huge, bloody wound, covered in blood, and with bone showing, blood covered and partially split. Karl winced looking at it, noting the older scars and bruises. It was at this moment he realised how little he knew about Sapnap's personal life, and why he never put his facecam on. He didn't even know his sexuality... 

No, Karl. You don't deserve him. He told himself.

---Injury description over

"Nothing much, just my dad. You know he's never been easy-going. We can get to that later. I'll explain everything, but for now, I just want to know, who's hurting you, Karl."

Should he tell Sapnap, or lie to him, saying he tripped over or something? If he did tell the truth, Sapnap might try and stop him, not understanding that he deserved it. But how could he lie to Sapnap? He'd had a crush on Nick for years now, always wondering whether he felt the same, but never having the courage to ask him.

 "Myself."

A/N ok rly short at chapter, but I do need to say something!!!
