I know you love me (Karlnap)

( Chapter 38 )

( Karl's POV )

He looked pretty even when asleep or bruised. It scared me slightly, dabbing the cotton swab on his open wounds. There were things about the fight that I still didn't understand. Was he fighting on my behalf? No matter what the case was, I was only glad that he wasn't badly injured. Whoever that other boy was better get a suspension, and if I wasn't so cowardly, I'd fight him myself.

Sapnap turned his head in his sleep, but I softly turned it back so I could put on bandages. I wish I understood the situation, but for the time being I suppose it is best that I don't. If I did, there was no knowing what I'd feel. All I know is that I won't forgive that kid for hurting Sapnap, and that will never change.

( Sapnap's POV)

My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the lights of the Nurse's office.

"Good, you're finally awake." An older woman spoke, "Any longer and I'd be working overtime."

"What happened?" I asked, my mind fuzzy from whatever I went through.

"You were in a fight; your boyfriend brought you here." She pushed her glasses up on her face, typing away on her computer.

My face went red, "I remember now, thanks. But, where's Karl now?"

She smirked, turning her chair towards me, "He's just outside, no need to keep tabs on him."

"Thanks." I got up from the little sofa, heading towards the door.

"Sapnap," The nurse looked up at me, "be careful."

I didn't know what she meant by that, but I brushed it off. Opening the door, Karl rushed over from one of the benches.

"Sap!" He hugged me tightly, "I was so worried."

"I'm fine, I'm fine." I laughed slightly, "Thank you, Karl.

"No need, I'm just glad you're okay." He smiled, letting go so we could leave.

I took my bag from the bench, taking my car keys out with it. Karl walked by my side as we headed out of the school, but he looked more nervous than usual. He fidgeted with the cuffs of his sleeves, and his eyes were directed towards the ground.

"Something wrong, Karl?" I questioned as we got in the car.

"Nothing, I'm just worried about that fight you were in. Who was that guy?" Karl put on his seatbelt, then turned to me.

"An old friend, though we aren't on good terms anymore." I answered, putting the car into ignition.

"I see." Karl turned his attention towards the window.

Something about this made me uneasy. With what the nurse said, and the way that Karl is acting, I can't help but wonder if there is something I'm missing. What is there to be careful about? Was it only because I got hurt or something, or was there another meaning?

( Karl's POV )

Is it normal for Sapnap to be this calm? I mean, he just got into a fight… It scared me slightly, but it looked like something was definitely on his mind. There has to be a reason for the fight, Sapnap wouldn't fight if there wasn't a good reason. Would he though? I couldn't stop thinking about it, even if it didn't directly have to do with me. Or, did it? Something clicked as my eyes blurred out the window. Was he fighting about me? Sapnap's old friends don't like me, so that would only make sense.

Sapnap parked the car outside his house, he turned the key and unbuckled his seatbelt. I refocused on the present, stepping out of the car as did Sapnap. It was as if he forgot about it, or he was just not choosing to talk about it.

"Sap," I started as we entered the living room.

"Yeah, Karl?" He threw himself onto the couch.

"Was that fight about me?" I hesitated, but got the words out eventually.

He paused for a moment, "I'd rather not talk about it right now."

I sat down next to him, placing my hand on his. My eyes met his, but I knew something was off about him. Did he feel guilty? There was a lot I wanted to tell him, most of it not even related to the fight. But in the moment, there was a part of me that wanted to express all of my feelings for him. Even if he already knew I loved him I wanted to say it over and over again.

"Sap, I really love you." I didn't break eye contact.

He giggled, resting his head on my shoulder, "I know."
