safe with me - dnf mafia au (english)

Sapnap POV.

Me and Karl stared at Samantha in shock and tried to fully take in her confession.
It surprised me a lot, to be honest I never expected that she, Dream's girlfriend, soon to be fiancée, would be a lesbian.
Okay, maybe sometimes I had a certain... strange feeling about her when Karl, I, Dream and her went on a double date, but I just put it down to the fact that it was unusual to me to see Dream being in love with someone, not that my gay-dar would strike!

"I know it might be a bit much to take in...
But I really never meant anything bad by pretending to love him, I was just too scared!"

Samantha sighed in frustration and I saw a tear slide down her cheek.
Karl smiled at her understandingly and got up from the bench to pull her into his arms, she hugged him back immediately, sobbing into his shoulder while obviously failing at trying to calm herself down.
I felt very sorry for her at that moment.
Had I been in her situation I definitely would have handled it differently, but it was probably kind of hard for her to carry that around with her all the time and not be able to tell anyone.

"Sammie, you could have told us something! We would have understood you immediately and had some of Dream's men take care of you! You wouldn't have had to endure it all alone for so long..."

Karl broke away from the hug and looked at her sadly, but Sammie just shrugged, sobbing and avoiding looking into his eyes.

"I can understand you..."

She looked in my direction as I spoke to her calmly and in a clear voice.

"...But Dream doesn't deserve any of this. He loves you, heck, he even had plans to propose to you! He got his hopes up so high, he even got you a ring..."

With a sigh, I got up from the bench and looked down at the ground for a moment while contemplating how to convey my thoughts to her in the most gentle way possible.

"I... I think you should tell him. You can't just cheat on him behind his back and use both your sexuality and your fear as an excuse to hurt him like that!
I understand why you did it, but it doesn't change the fact that you'll break his heart by doing it..."

Samantha nodded with a sad look in her eyes and sighed, it seemed like she was considering whether what I said was really true and whether she would actually comply with my request to tell Dream.
Before she could answer me though, I raised my voice again.

"I hope that you know that, if you don't tell him, I will."

She didn't seem to have expected that answer and it seemed to me that she wasn't exactly happy with it. The expression on her face made it clear what her opinion of my proposal was, with her eyebrows drawn together and the corners of her mouth turned down into a frown.

"What? Did you seriously think I would hide something like that from my best friend if you don't tell him yourself? C'mon Sam, you should know me better than to believe that."

"But- I... I don't have anyone but Dream... I have no money, no job and no apartment! If he finds out about this, he'll kick me out for sure!"

"Sammie, you know Dream would never do that!"

"But what if he does-"

With an annoyed sigh I interrupted her, slowly losing my patience.

"You know him. He would never harm you, put you in danger or do something that he knows will cause you pain, even if it hurts him to find out about this whole thing with Mira.
It hurts me in a way that you don't trust him.
Okay, you mean you don't really love him, but you do know the guy!"

I threw my hands up to my face in desperation and rubbed my eyes in annoyance.
It was exhausting and really hard to have this conversation with her, especially since she didn't seem to see that it would be better to tell Dream.
When I heard Samantha sigh in defeat, I removed my hands from my face and gave her a weary look.

"How about I tell him when I've found a place to live and a real job? Maybe in a few months or so... Until then I'll-"

"-take advantage of him, his money and his love for you?
No. He'll find out today, I don't give a damn fuck from who, but someone will tell him about this today."

She looked down at her shoes uncertainly and rather unconvinced, avoiding my eye contact, so I shook my head in disappointment and turned around.

"He'll probably stay with us at headquarters for tonight. It's best to pack your things when you get home, I'll have someone find you a job and an apartment when I get back..."

Without saying another word, I started walking in the direction we came from before, to get back to Dream and George.
After all that stress with Samantha I had almost forgotten what had happened before, this whole 'the Hawk escaped and George is currently having a panic attack' thing had completely slipped my mind.

Behind me I heard the voice of Karl, who said goodbye to Sam and then followed me.
I soon felt him grab my hand as he caught up with me and turned my head to see his slightly sad smile.
Even in not-so-pleasant moments like these, the sight of his beautiful smile and flawless face managed to make me a little happier than I would have been without my boyfriend's presence.

"She said she would tell him in person too if the situation was different, but I think we both know that's not really the truth..."

I nodded in agreement and squeezed his hand slightly, a short time later he returned the gesture and I couldn't help but smile a little bit.
With a quick look at both of our hands, I noticed his already chapped nail polish, which I only applied to his nails a few days prior.

The day before Dream and I were meeting James, Karl and I had the idea of ​​painting each other's nails, so we did it right before our movie night.
On my hands I now wore orange polish with flames on my thumbs and Karl wore purple nail polish with a green spiral on both thumbs.

It was times like these I would like to remember, not what came after or what happened before.
Moments with my boyfriend whom I loved more than anything in the world.
And I would never want to change anything about it.
