Night in The Mall ~ A Karlnap and Dreamnotfound Short Story

~3~

Third Person:

The four pull up to the mall, all barring different moods.

George was energetic and excited. He was so happy to go to their first destination on their trip, especially because he had just had a well deserved nap. 

George woke up to Dream by his side, cuddling his arm and snoring quietly. His light breaths and angelic face sent him into a trance he could never resist. Suddenly the dirty blonde's eyes opened. The corners of his lips were immediately tugged once he saw the cute brunettes flushed face.

"Hello sleeping beauty!"

"Shut up!"

Dream chuckled quietly and snuggled his head into George's arm. 

"You're so adorable!"

Those three words made George crazy, speechless even. How could he respond to that statement? 

"I-I-"

"Shut up lovebirds, I'm still here remember?"

Sapnap was feeling aggressive. He always is aggressive but this time it was different. He was aggressive with a hint of sad. All that lingered in his mind was Karl's reaction to what he said. With Karl clearly being angry at him, he was missing his other half. Without Karl bringing the calm sense into his life, what was there to be calm for?

 'Was it really that hurtful?,'  he thought. 

'Why would he care about what I said in that specific moment?'

No answers could come to his mind. The universe decided he would have to figure out the answers on his own. 

Speaking of Karl he was still looking out the window, looking at the scenery with longing eyes. Frustration rose in him and stayed at the pit of his stomach. 

'Why am I angry at what he said? I don't know what triggered me but I still feel... upset.'

 All he wanted to do was turn around and give Sapnap a big welcoming hug again. He wanted to tell him how boring it was looking at the same trees and similar buildings. He wanted Sapnap to know how bored he was listening to the GPS without their chats to fill up the space of the car. But he refuses to say a word. Karl stays put looking at the asphalt floor, noticing the car had finally parked.

Sapnap takes a deep breath,

"Hey Karl I'm so-"

"I'm getting out of the car..."

The car goes silent at his statement. Karl realizes how harsh that sounded and attempted to play it off.

"...because I just can't wait to go shopping! Come on guys, it will be fun!"

The fluffy haired boy rushes out of the car, accidentally slamming the door.

"Come one guys, let's go!"

George runs out with Karl making their way to the mall side by side. Sapnap sighs and watches their figures get smaller and smaller the farther they walk away. The simplest things seemed to make him jealous now.

Sapnap feels a tap on his shoulder and jolts.

"WOAH! Jesus I forgot you were still here,"

he says in a monotone voice. Dream cuts straight to the point.

"I know something is up Sapnap, you're acting weird."

"I'm okay, trust me."

"No I very much won't, I know how you are when something happens."
