《Concern》

"Hello?" "Hey, George I just wanted to ask you something." Karl explains, trying to make his voice sound like his normal cheerful self. He failed terribly, George could tell something was up.
"Sure, what's up?" He asks with slight concern laced in his voice. "Ok, so hypothetically if you were to say- coughupbutterflies- what would you do?" Karl asks, saying the middle part of his sentence really fast. It sounds so stupid to even say out loud.

"I'm sorry, what?-" George asks. Not out of shock, but out of confusion as he literally didn't know what Karl had just said. Karl panicked. "Uh- I had a really weird dream last night that I coughed up butterflies, I thought it was funny and wondered what you would do if that happened to you." Karl explains, thinking of a last minute excuse. I feel like I shouldn't tell anyone, but I really need help.

"Hm, that's weird. Honestly I have no idea? Probably see a doctor?" He answers, not sounding to confident with his response. Karl nods along even though George couldn't see him. "Alright, thanks." He thanks George before going to hang up.

"Hey, are you ok?" George asks out of the blue before Karl could hang up. "Sapnap called me awhile ago worried sick about you, apparently you weren't answering his texts." He explains right after. "Oh- yeah I just had a really bad stomach ache and left my phone in the bathroom." It's technically not a lie, but not the wholly truth.

"Alright. Well, don't forget the lore stream- I think it's at noon for you." Shit, I totally forgot. "I won't, I won't." Karl replies with a playful eye roll. "Alright well, you should get some sleep. It's pretty early for you." He suggests with an exhausted sigh. "Yeah, thanks." Karl says before hearing the discord sound ring through his ears. He sits back in his chair, stomach feeling a bit queasy from the thought of butterflies literally living inside of him.

It has to be a coincidence, like wrong place at the wrong time kind of thing-

He gets up from his chair, trying to be careful from how delicate he feels, like falling would cause him to shatter into a million little pieces. Slowly but surely he made his way to his bed, carefully laying on his back and just staring up at the ceiling. How could this have happened? And why-
He contemplates for awhile, staring blankly up at the ceiling; looking at every detail of the popcorn like texture as he let his thoughts wonder.

A gentle vibration feeling from the front pocket of his hoodie breaks him free from the cage known as his mind, taking his phone out of his pocket, not looking at the contact before accepting the call. "Karl? Hello?" He hears an all to familiar voice on the other end of the phone. Karl's stomach immediately gets that familiar fluttery yet painful feeling. "Hey." He answers the concerned brunet on the other end of the call, voice quiet and hoarse from exhaustion.

"Oh thank god, George told me you called so I had to try to get ahold of you myself." He explains with a sigh of relief. A small smile spreads across Karl's face at the thought of Sapnap being worried about him. "I'm fine, just a little stomach ache." He reassures him. "Hey, it's really late! Why are you still up." Karl asks with a giggle in attempt to change the subject.

"Couldn't sleep." Sapnap answers with a shrug even though Karl couldn't see him. "I was to worried about you." Sapnap mutters right after, making Karl's stomach feel worse; it was a painful feeling, but he wouldn't let that stop him from spending time with Sapnap. Blush creeps onto Karl's cheeks as he takes in Sapnap's words.

"You don't have to worry about me." Karl whispers into the phone; still laying on his back, still looking up at the ceiling. He felt like he was floating from how still he was laying, staring into the blank void of his ceiling, talking to his favourite person. "Well, you should get some sleep. We have a lore stream at noon." Karl gets informed for the second time.

"You should sleep too, you sound exhausted." Karl observers, hearing Sapnap's worried voice filled with exhaustion. It made him feeling guilty. Guilty that he left Sapnap to worry about him, loosing sleep from being worried about him. "Good night Sap." Karl yawns, rubbing his eyes like a tired child. "Night Jacobs."
