SUMMARY: IT'S OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE THAT KARL HAS A MASSIVE CRUSH ON YOU, BUT AFTER LEAVING YOU HIGH AND DRY YOURE LEFT TO WONDER WHERE KARL'S HEART TRULY STANDS.

Having you be set alongside Karl, and the rest of the crew in Mr.Beast's stunningly outrageous challenge videos was something you'd become accustomed to after initially applying to be an editor for the team. What had started out as being solely behind the camera, had transformed into something much more amusing - as both Jimmy and Karl had fallen in love with your addictive personality, leading to him favoring you in front of the camera. Needless to say, Karl had fell completely head over heels pretty fast, and as much as you'd like to joke about Karl being a dork - you felt the exact same way.

But somehow, and inane sense of stubbornness shared between the two of you had left your romantic compatibility standing to a halt, hoping that one day either one of you would muster up the guts to make a move. Karl, especially. He felt abnormally shy when the other boys' would tease him about having a fat crush on you, assuring him without a shadow of a doubt you'd felt the same. And regardless of how many times Karl stood shirtless in the mirror hyping himself up to finally confess his feelings. So, as the weeks of filming for Mr.Beasts 'Squid Game IRL' extravaganza had been coming near to a close, a looming sense of timidity rested on Karl's shoulders.

In the present moment, he'd been sitting between Jimmy and Chris as they entertained Jimmy's YouTube chat, while Karl found entertainment behind mindlessly scrolling through his TikTok FYP. An impressive amount of donations flooded across the bottom of the stream's screen, as dedicated fans praised the end result the entire team had been working towards. Karl would chime in to give thanks and to occasionally fulfill chat with his cuteness, but thanks to Text-To-Speech, one donation in particular had certainly piqued his interest.

user donated $45 through SuperChat: karl you and y/n were so adorable in the games!!! any chance you'd ever be anything more than friends? love u both <3" Karl giggled at the suggestion of the shared romanticism, replying to the chatter with: "Y/n's an absolute cutie, but I think they're too cool for me." The other boys laughed along with Karl's shyness, and teased him for not being brave enough to do something about the obvious love you'd both shared for one another.

And with just an ounce of perfect timing, through the studio door you came, instantly earning a cheesy grin from Karl. You sat down beside him on the couch, resting your chin on his shoulder, just as interested in his TikTok feed. He was instantly overwhelmed by the cuteness, and decided to livestream it to his TikTok followers, as Jimmy continued his stream. Your banter was perfect, as Karl's comment section was filled with mentions of:

"YOU'RE BOTH SO CUTE!!" "karl and y/n are endgame idc idc" and "no thoughts (your ship name) brainrot"

Karl seemed to be enjoying all the love and attention your closeness was receiving - which made your heart hopeful he'd make a move. But alas, as comes with fate, if he were going to confess his feelings he didn't want to do it in front of his TikTok live. So, the stream dragged on for an hour or two, until both Karl and Jimmy's streams had ended and you were all informed to go home and get some rest.

You said your goodbyes to the boys, wishing them all well, and trying to hide the utter look of disappointment that sat promptly on your face. You'd gone home with a heavy heart, planning to invest your night in Strawberry Sorbet ice cream and an endless amount of Survivor episodes.

Yes, Karl had felt incredibly guilty, and he wanted to get all his feelings out in the cheesiest, most heartfelt way possible, he just needed to find the right time. So, after saying his individual goodbyes he ran to the nearest store and found the nicest set of flowers he could possibly find, and high tailed it to your house. The sense of excitement and nervousness settled in his chest, making knots form in his stomach.

But he was hopeful nonetheless! As he pulled into your drive, stumbling out of his car and gripping the flowers tightly in the palm of his right hand. And oh, what a sight it was to see, Karl Jacobs - all flustered and standing in your doorway. You answered the door, excited to see your pretty boy there to greet you.

"Karl wha-,"

Without a trace of hesitation - or thought to be honest - he laced his lips with yours, he lifted you off the ground and spun you around like the Prince Charming he is, and as he hesitantly pulled away from the passionate kiss, he questioned: "Y/n, I like you- no- I love you. Will you please be mine?" Of course, you said yes.
