| Karl |

Last night was confusing. Especially the part when so many feelings got mixed in. First Sapnap blushing hard at George's comment, and then Quackity announcing George having feelings for Dream.

Which was good.

Or?

Having a crush on your best friend since you first saw them, wasn't really a good thing. Or atleast when they don't feel the same. But this time it was different.

When attending a big college with many different majors, and chosing the animation artist one, he did certantly not expect it to end up like this. Quackity went to the same college. Since his best friend was looking for something law focused, and Karl was lucky enough for it to exist in the school he was attending aswell.

He had been intrested in art ever since he was little. Especially the animations. He watched many cartoons. The colourful figures who moved around so smoothly, was a real talent according to Karl. His mother would always get mad at him for always being on his iPad, and never letting go of it.

So, his goal when attending was to graduate college with a good experience of animation. But instead, he ended out dropping out of college to start a music career with three other guys he met there. One of them, ofcourse being the hot crush that Karl had kept an eye on whenever he visited the basketball court.

Flashback

"You really like him, huh?" Quackity punched his friend lightly. Karl wasn't really paying attention to the guy covering his head with a beanie next to him. Instead, he was watching the last two minutes of the game who was very close to an end. Fifteen to fifteen was the score between the two teams.

"Huh?" Karl finally answered, still watching the number 69 player fighting his way through the players to reach the ball.

"Sapnap! You really do like him. Or atleast, think he's really attractive." his friend teased him. The gay boy blushed. It was true. He did find the teenage boy very attractive, and had developed feelings by only watching him from a distance. And with successfully searching and almost stalking people in his own school, he found his social media.

Karl didn't have the time to respond, before the swiftly moving character on the field pushed himself through his enemies, and stopped the ball from landing in their hoop. Quickly, he threw the ball to the floor and started to bounce it once it flew back up to him again.

Closer and closer, the distance became. And with a fast motion, he jumped up and... landed the ball perfectly!

Karl jumped right out of his seat, the rest of the crowd following his actions. A big wave of cheers coming from the school's fans was heard.

Central Florida Tigers had won the game.

Flashback over

Even though the guy was a straight douchebag, Karl couldn't help but almost faint when he first went up to him and his partner.

The three guys became good friends, and they've basically been since.

♡︎♫♡︎

When the three boys got split apart at a college activity day, being teamed up with other people, thats when the journey really began.

Karl and Quackity was lucky enough to get in the same team. Along with a small brunette boy, who seemed pretty shy. He didn't talk much, but atleast introduced himself as George. Karl could tell that he wasn't from America with his accent, which his pale british look also gave away. They all recognized eachother from english class.

Though, Sapnap got teamed up with another first-yearer. And in Karls opinion, he was pretty fine aswell. Pretty tall, dirty-blonde hair, and being lazy dressed in a bright green hoodie on top of a pair of blue jeans. But he didn't catch his attention, not as much as the black-haired boy next to him did.

Sooner or later, George revealed that he was best friends with the guy who got paired up with Sapnap, and that his name was Clay. But preferred to go by the nickname Dream. So, the three guys decided to walk over to them and team up.

♡︎♫♡︎

"Karl! You coming?" Sapnap called from maskings of the stage. He was the only one they waited for. The intro on the big black screen was already playing, waiting for the guitars to play their notes. He quickly rushed to him, and the producers worked as fast as they could to improve his bad makeup skills.

"Im ready now." he said, standing next to his crush that had his guitar hanging around his neck and waiting for the other boy to get ready. He cought some glimps of the two other boys across the stage. Quackity that was already positioned on the stage behind his drumset, smirked at the sight of closeness between the two teenagers.

The hand that lightly touched the back of his made his stomach flutter. He let it slid in place in his own for a moment, even though Karl's heart now was beating more intense than ever before. His body locked itself out of nervousness, and the distance.

Sapnap did atleast feel something. That was for sure.

The holding wasn't for long. Soon enough, they got a signal to be ready. Karl and Sapnap positioned themselfs to play their instruments.

Song recommend for this scene:
I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance) by Glass Animals

Since they had decided that this was going to be the intro song for this stop on the tour, Dream got ready to sing the first verse of the pumped up song.

Walking out on the stage, with the rest of the members not many meters behind him, Dream's voice filled the speakers that was already playing from the other noices.

I don't wanna talk, baby

I just wanna dance

I don't wanna talk, no more living in the past, baby

I Don't Wanna Talk was a good choice for a intro. It was fun, and kicked off the vibe immedietly. Taking inspiration from Glass Animals, the 80's inspired song filled up the arena.
