Questionable Choices [Yan!DSMP x Reader]

Chapter 41: They Know

"Hello there, hottie. What can I help you with?"

"Are you free tomorrow?" Your sudden question probably throws Sapnap off. While your hands are busy connecting the right thing to the right thing. Basically, you were too busy to really do anything other than make sure your invention won't explode.

"I- uh, yes of course! Do you want to meet up? When? Where?" Sapnap's excited voice almost makes you feel bad about the real reason that you call him.

"No, I need you to look after Sherlock again tomorrow evening, unless I message you before you've done so. I need to go and talk to someone but I'm not sure if I'm back in time to feed him, you know?" When Sapnap remains silent on the other side, you stop as well. "Listen, I'm sorry, but we can hang out some other time, I just have some shit to deal with first, you know?"

"Yeah, no, it's okay! I, uh, I understand. Yeah, no, I can do that."

"Great. This means a lot to me, Sapnap. Thank you."

"No problem, Y/N. You're welcome."

"I just want to remind you not to go through my stuff, by the way. I've been a lot more careful lately and I really don't want you to touch my inventions. You won't have to, of course, since you don't have to get into any room other than the scullery and the living room – and maybe the toilet, although I really hope you won't shit in my house – but I just want to clear up that you really have to keep your hands off of my stuff. Like, please. I'm sure this only made you more curious but if you have any respect for my privacy, you will listen to what I just told you, okay?"

For a short moment, there is nothing but silence on the other side. Until you hear him speak. "Yeah, of course, I-I can do that." He stutters a little. Why?

"You're sure? You sound a little nervous, Sappy Nappy."

"Yeah, no, why would I be nervous?" He's still stuttering.

"Sapnap," you state blankly while you continue working on your machine, "you haven't touched my stuff before, have you?"

"No, of course not!" Sapnap immediately responds defensively and you imagine him holding his arms in the air defensively. "I swear!"

"Calm down, I wasn't accusing you. You simply made me believe that's the case." He has touched it. "Just don't do it again because I'm putting traps in my house so that it's going to be impossible to do it, so beware."

"What?! But what about your cat? Won't he get stuck in any of them?"

"There is a cat lock on the machines, if that makes sense. Basically, it makes sure that the trap will not be activated when the culprit is a cat." Sapnap hums. You swear, if he thinks that he can use Sherlock as a way to touch your shit, you'll kill him. "Don't think of anything, though." The traps are waterproof, in both a literal and figurative sense. After all, if there is a suspicion that someone does use him to get past the traps, Sherlock himself will meow, thus activating the cameras and extremely realistic gun in the ceiling.

Sure, your house may be old and unstable, but that doesn't mean you never installed a security system after all the weird events.

"Damn. You have thought it all through, huh?"

"That shouldn't be a surprise to you." Sapnap simply laughs and before he can say anything, a timer on the other side goes off, distracting you and sending Sapnap in a panic.

"Fuck! I forgot about the food! I'll have to leave now, I'm sorry, Y/N."

"Talk to you later, Sapnap. Say hi to Karl for me?" He doesn't say anything else and instead just hangs up, resulting in your phone's screen going black.
