Our Love || Karl Jacobs ✔️

-nine-

"This stupid ass brace makes it very difficult to coordinate a stupid halloween costume, nimrod." She says, looking at the boy on her screen.

"Honestly, I say you use it like a corset." Katherine said from across the room.

"It doesnt even look like one." Alex said with a frustrated tone of voice.

"I know." Katherine sighed softly.

"Why don't we go as spongebob and sandy?" He asked with a small smile.

"What?" She asked with a reciprocated smile.

"Or kermit and miss piggy." He said with a laugh, amusing himself with that one. She laughed at the idea and rejected it.

"What about Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder?" Katherine asked from across the room.

"I actually like that idea." Karl said. Alex agreed with a small smile and a nod, liking the idea just as much.

The time soon came to dress up, even if they were just staying home. They wanted to go out, they really did, they just hadn't the energy to. They got dressed up, took pictures, and then changed back into pajamas to watch Tangled with Ashton and Katherine. Ashton and Katherine dressed up as Belle and the Beast in human form, so after watching Tangled they watched Beauty and the Beast.

"I love you, Karl." Alex said, her head laying on Karl's chest. With the brace, it was rather hard for her to lay on her back still, despite the amount of time that has elapsed. She should be good to go without the brace in just one more week, but it still hurt like a bitch nonetheless. Luckily, there was no permanent damage and it was just a bad sprain and muscle pull.

"I love you too, Lex." He replied softly, kissing the top of her head before playing with her hair again.

While she knew they'd get in some trouble in the morning, she laid on him and fell asleep with no intentions of moving by any means. It was worth the consequences in the morning to fall asleep with her favorite boy ever.

Alex woke up, turned her head over and saw her mom in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Momma." She said in a whisper, still not very awake nor coherent.

"Good morning, Alex." She said back with a smile. "How did you sleep?"

"I slept fine, how did you sleep?"

"I slept well. Karl still asleep?" Her mom asked, walking into the living room and leaning on the wall. Alex nodded in response, closing her eyes and listening to Karl's heartbeat.

"Tonight he actually has to sleep in his room, alright?" Her mom said with a small smile. In all reality, she wasn't mad. She was genuinely surprised it took the pair ten months to fall asleep in the living room and break the rule. While she was rather lenient with boys staying the night, she was rather strict on them sleeping in separate rooms.

"You're not mad?" She asked, keeping her eyes closed.

"No, I'm genuinely just surprised it took so long for you to break the rule. Just make sure it doesn't happen on purpose. I know you didn't do it on purpose or anything." Her mom said with a smile, walking over and kissing her head. She walked back into her bedroom, leaving Alex and Karl alone in the living room. She quickly fell back asleep on Karl with a small smile.

When Karl finally woke up, he noticed he was alone. He heard rustling in the kitchen with some whispering, so he went in to check it out.

"Morning, Karl." Katherine said with a smile, sitting on the counter. He hummed a response with a small reciprocated smile.

"Hi." Alex said softly, leaning her head back to see the boy towering over her. He smiled and kissed her head before leaning his on her shoulder.

"You guys are kind of adorable, just saying." Ashton said, walking into and slotting himself in between Katherine's legs.

"We are indeed, Ashtray." Alex said with a laugh.

"You and your stupid ass nickname." Ashton laughed. The four were a close knit friend group, having a group chat and everything to plan sleepovers and double dates. Even though Karl went to a different school, he was still kept in the loop of drama at their school as was the other three for Karl.

"Dude, so Micheal texted me asking to hangout last night at three in the fucking morning. Like who asks that? Why so late? And when I said no he threw a bitch fit." Ashton said with a laugh.

"Literally why so late, there's absolutely no need." Alex said with a smile. "He needs a life, for real."

"He needs some sleep, for real." Katherine responded making Alex laugh lightly. 

"For sure." Ashton replied. 

"Missed opportunity to say for real, brother." Karl mumbled, turning his head to look at Ashton with a sleep laced smile.

"What are you cooking for breakfast?" Ashton asked, ignoring Karl's comment but smiling back at him.

"Just simple scrambled eggs. There's cheese in there if you want to put some on them, as well as ketchup, but I'm making mine plain as I am for Karl Jacobs over here." Alex replied.

"Is there the stuff I use?" Katherine asked to which Alex looked back and nodded.

"Do you actually cook well?" Ashton asked, fake disgust on his face.

"Yes, Ashtray, I do."

"Good, you better."

Karl kissed Alex's cheek with a smile, no words needing to come from him to show his love and appreciation.
