this is rewrites/reposts from my dsmp fluff oneshot book + some new ones 👍

What the hell was he doing? If not anything else, Sapnap was confused. Well that clearly wasn't all he was feeling.. but it was definitely up there. What else was he feeling? Definitely confused.

Well, he was feeling a lot. That much was painfully obvious to him. He was confused and relieved and horrified.. but also content. Relieved in the way you would be after telling someone a secret, like it could backfire and you aren't necessarily happy thay they know, but it's just freeing that it's  out there.

He was also surprised, obviously. Just minutes ago he had thought that Karl only thought of them as platonic, behind the jokes, but now that had all been discarded. But there was also that nagging feeling at the back of his throat that it was all a joke. But that feeling wasn't new, it had been there for as long as he could remember. Except now it was louder, shrieking at him that all his friend's felt sorry for him, and didn't actually enjoy hanging out with him.

All of these thoughts were running through his mind faster then he thought humanly possible, as he kissed karl.

Reel it back a bit.
They had just finished a stream a few hours before; "they" being Chandler, Karl, and Sapnap. Afterwards they all mutually decided to watch a movie, before Chandler had to leave.
It was Karl's pick, not for any particular reason other then Sapnap not being able to say no to him.
And, of course, Karl had put on re-runs of surviver.

Since it was pretty late, Chandler volunteered to go pick up some food.
"You don't have to pause it y'know," Chandler said, opening the front door.
"No, no, I will. I know how much you love this show, I wouldn't want you to miss it." Karl said sarcastically. Chandler laughed and scoffed, walking out the door.

Karl and Sapnap were now both sitting alone on the sofa in karl's living room. Alone. Together. Less then a foot apart. That shouldn't be weird. They'd been alone together many times before, why was this different? Besides, they're best friends, right? Best friends. Nothing more. But at that moment, whether it was subconscious or not, both of them wanted to be more. But that might've just been a lack of communication.

Sapnap rubbed his feet together, painfully aware of how close they both were.
"Why are you so nervous?" Karl asked, giggling nervously.
Sapnap made eye contact with him,  scrunching his lips to the left side of his face, drawing karl's attention. Part of Karl told him to, fuck it, kiss him already. But the other part of him was terrified of messing up their great friendship. After all, he might never get the opportunity to be so close to someone else, practically knowing everything about each other. Everything except for their feelings towards each other.

Sapnap sat up straighter. He was borderline pouting at this point. Karl's expression remained unreadable, as he slowly reached his hands to the back of sapnap's neck. he hesitated, concerned if what he was doing was breaking any boundaries.
Then Sapnap broke the ice, kissing him.

It was gentle, hesitant, careful, and terrifying all at once. Relief flooded though Karl.

What do you do when you pull away from a kiss? Karl certainly didn't know. Luckily, Sapnap had his own plans, pulling away and hugging him. Tight and firm, comforting.
Karl parted slightly to look at Sapnap. they both had smiles spread across their faces, which lead to another kiss, naturally.

"hey guys, sorry I took so long there was a long lin-.. um-"
