Y'all's get ready to be mad/ upset, this chapter holds a bit of a surprise.
—————————————————————————
Y/n's POV
"Alright guys I think I'm going to go ahead and end stream, I hope you all have an amazing rest of your day and I will see you all next time," I wave and wait for a minute before ending. The second I end stream I get a discord call from Karl.
I accept the call "hey Karl!" I say as the call connects
"hey y/n, just wanted to tell you when you where singing it sent me to a hole new world, it was amazing." He has his camera on and a huge smile on his face.
I cover my face as it goes hot, "oh it wasn't that good, seriously it wasn't even that good," I turn on my camera.
"Yes, it was. You have to do that more often," his voice rings out through my headset.
"Come on Karl it wasn't that good," I sit back in my chair and pull my mic back a little.
"Whatever, I really don't feel like arguing with you so I will let you win this one." We chat for a bit, then he asks me a weird question. "Hey I have to ask, I never have. Do you skateboard? I forgot to ask you," I think for a second.
Of cores I do. "Ya, but I haven't gotten on one in ages, why?" I look off screen and look at my closet where I keep my board at.
"Oh I was just wondering if you wanted to go skating with me and didn't know if you knew how," there's a second of silence.
"Karl you absolutely nimrod of cores I will go skating with you, I would any day," I see his face go a little red.
"How about tomorrow?" He asks me after a few seconds
"sure, I'm free,"
we talk a little bit more and he brings up something I wasn't expecting. "When you started recreating lyrics, I was just wondering, where you talking about me, y/n. If you don't want to tell me it's fine, I totally understand." I cut him off
"ya, I was, I mean it all made since so I guess I thought it would be cool if I changed it to a different perspective," I move around in my chair a little.
"Oh, ya that's cool, I never really though about doing that with music." He says, he sounds a little confused but happy at the same time.
We talk for about an hour until he notices that I'm tired "y/n you should go to sleep, we have been talking for a long time." there's a few seconds of silence before I respond
"ok I will. Goodnight handsome," I look directly into the camera and see his face go red again. "Goodnight cutie," he says and giggles. I hang up the call and get ready for bed.
Karl's POV
I call Sapnap as soon as I see y/n go offline. "What, I don't think you have ever called me so mean times in a row," he says quickly as the call connects.
"Where you watching y/n's stream?" I say exited
"Ya, what about it?!" He says into his mic
"You know when she was singing how she changed the lyrics?" I say and rase my eyebrows
"Ya, I'm confused, explain?" He says making me seem crazy
"DUDE SHE WAS SIGNING ABOUT ME," I yell into my mic exited
"No way," he calls out and turns on his camera
"Ya, she told me so, and oh my god, we are going skateboarding tomorrow night," I lean back in my seat and put my hands up showing how excited I am.
Me and sap talk for hours about it and I finally end the call and lay down to go to sleep. I scroll through TikTok until I fall asleep.
The next morning
I wake up to a phone call from y/n. I clear my throat and answer the call "hello?" I ask
"hey Karl, how is your morning?"
I look at the time, it's noon. "Well I just woke up so it was good," I roll on my back and put the phone on speaker.
"Oh sorry to wake you. I was going to ask what time we where going skating tonight." I take a deep breath.
"Umm, I was going to leave at six and drive to your house, if that's ok with you," I say into the phone.
Y/n's POV
His morning voice kills me, but I'm a good way. "Ya that's fine, I will just let my parents know and you can come over whenever you want," I say as I get up from my desk.
"Alright, I'm gonna get up and shower so I will talk to you later," he says and I can hear him shuffle in his bed.
"Ya, talk to you later handsome," I smile when I say it unexpectedly.
There's no hesitation in his response "bye cutie," his voice rings out and the call ends.
I go downstairs and sit next to my dad on the couch. "Hey, what's up?" He looks over at me with a smile
"So, me and Karl are going skateboarding later tonight, and I don't know when I will be back, so I wanted to let you know now so you don't worry about me when I'm not home," I nod as I speak.
"Ok, have fun, I'm proud of my little girl," his smile is as big as I've ever seen it. I stand up and walk into the kitchen to grab a snack.
Tw: memories
I reach for the strawberries. The memories of the cut come back to me like a flash flood. I feel as a cold stab goes through my hand just as it did that morning. I stand up and close the fridge door and settle for a begal instead.tw over
I eat and head back upstairs to see a few texts from Karl and one from Chris. I look at Karl's first 'hey just got out of the shower,' 'I'm heading out soon,' 'I'm on my way to yours now!' Are the 3 texts from Karl. I look at Chris's text.
'Hey, long time no talk. How have you been. I watched your stream yesterday, hope you had lots of fun.' I smile ' I'm good, sorry I haven't had time to hang with you. I've been amazing, me and Karl are getting closer and we are going skateboarding tonight. I hope you and your family are doing ok,'
Me and Chris chat till I hear my bedroom door open. "Hey," Karl peeks his head through the door and says. I giggle and stand up putting my arms out for a hug. He opens the door and wraps his arms around me, I relax my arms and reach up putting them around his neck. He picks me up and spins me around the middle of my room in a tight hug. He puts me down and we sit down on my bed.
"Even though we talked this morning I feel like I haven't talked to you in years," I throw myself back and flop onto my bed dramatically. Karl giggles and lays down next to me. I grab my phone and we scroll through TikTok for a while. After about an hour he get up and goes into the bathroom. I prop my pillow up a little so I'm not laying on my back as much.
When he comes out he walk up to my bed and puts his head under my arms, laying down in between my legs. My stomach fills with butterflies and my heart speeds up. I put one hand in his head as he lays it on my stomach, I run my fingers through his hair. I turn off my phone and put in on the bed beside me.
He brings his arms up and wraps them around me, I smile and rub his cheek with my thumb. He smiles and moves his head up a little closer to my heart. I run my hands through his hair some more, " you know you look adorable right now," I say and giggle a little.
"I know," he says proudly.
We stay like this for a little bit before he gets up and grabs the guitar from across the room and hands it to me. "Play something for me," he sits down on the bed in front of me with a big smile on his face.
"Karl, I can't play right here," I stand up and go over to my pc. "I have to be able to see the cords and stuff," I press the power button on my monitor.
"Ok, so play something for me," he stands up off my bed and pulls up my extra chair to sit beside me.
I go on Crome "don't look, I want it to be a surprise," I smile and he turns his chair to face the wall.
I look up 'hey there Delilah guitar cords' and pull up the first one that pops up. "Ok, your good to turn around," he spins his chair around quickly and faces me. He smiles at me as I look over the cords and take a drink.
I position my fingers and start to play. He smiles bigger. "Hey there Karl what's it like in New York City, I'm 1000 away but boy tonight you look so pretty yes you do, town square can't shine and bright as you, I sware it's true," I switch my fingers "hey there Karl don't you worry about the distance I'm right here if you get lonely give this song another listen and close your eyes, listen to my voice it's my Disguise, I'm by your side," I take a breath and switch my fingers "oh it's what you do to me, oh it's what you do to me. Oh it's what you do to me, what you do to me."
"Hey there Karl I know times are getting hard, but just believe my boy one day I'll pay the bills with this guitar we'll have it good. We'll have the life we knew we would, my word is good" (a/n, I'm not going to finish writhing out the song bc I'm lazy)
I finish the song and rest my chin on the top of the guitar taking a deep breath. "I've got goosebumps," he shows me his arm.
"Man that ones hard to sing," I sit back in my chair and take another drink. He takes the guitar off my lap and try's to play it. "You know I never realized how cool this thing is," I giggle and sit forward putting his fingers on the strings to play an A.
"Now push down right there and strum," I smile
He does it "wow, it made an actual note, cool," he smiles and hands it back to me.
"I showed you the easiest cord," I finger an F "this one is one of the hardest ones I know," there's a few seconds of silence and he looks at my fingers confused
"it look like your going to brake your hand or something," we both laugh and continue to mess around with the guitar.
After about an hour my dad walks in "hey y/n have you seen my," he stops and walk over to my desk "did you take my guitar,"
I look down at it then back up "totally not," I shake my head and hand it to him
"Well I hope you had fun with it, I could hear you playing and it sounds good," he walks to the door
"thanks," I smile and turn to Karl.
