Never Alone

~4~

Karl's Pov-

I woke and saw Sapnap still asleep. I smiled and got up. I went to the bathroom and got dressed for the day. I went into the kitchen and started cooking. After I was done I went to Sapnap and I's room and shook him awake.

" Baby it's time to get up," I said softly. He stirred awake and looked at me. He looked exhausted. This happens frequently. He sat up and I sat beside him.

" Are you okay sweetheart?" I asked gently. He nodded and stood up. I thought maybe he had trouble sleeping I wasn't sure.

" Get dressed breakfast is done. I'm going to wake up Jared. After breakfast, we can go shopping." I said. He nodded. Normally he would say something but today he was off. I walked to Jared's room and knocked softly. He didn't say anything so I cracked the door and peeked in. He was still asleep and I smiled.

" Jared breakfast is ready," I said gently. He groaned loudly and I chuckled. He's never been a morning person.

" Wake up and get ready. After breakfast, we can go shopping." I said walking out. I walked back into the kitchen and set the table. I grabbed a monster from the fridge and got the other two their drinks. I placed the drinks in their spots. Sapnap walked out of the bedroom. He seemed down today. He walked to the table and sat down. He always at least tells me good morning.

" Are you mad at me?" I asked suddenly. He just shook his head.

" You haven't said a thing to me today. Did I do something wrong? Did something happen?" I asked sitting beside him.

" No." He said. I didn't want to push him so I left him alone. Jared sluggishly walked out of his room and flopped down in his chair. I ruffled his hair and grabbed the food. I set it on the table and everyone started eating. I ate more today and Sapnap noticed. He smiled at me. I guess he just had a rough night last night. We all finished breakfast and Jared was still in his pajamas.

" Go get dressed buddy," I said. He nodded and walked to his room. Sap was doing dishes so I walked over to him and got on the counter. After he finished he walked over to me and placed his head on my chest. I ran my fingers through his hair.

" You sure you're okay baby?" I asked. He nodded.

" I didn't sleep well last night is all." He said. It was muffled through my shirt.

" Do you know why?" I asked. He shook his head. Jared walked back in seeming a little more lively.

" You okay Sapnap?" He asked. Sapnap just nodded. Jared grabbed a monster and started drinking.

" You guys ready to go?" Sap asked pulling away. Me and Jared nodded. We got into the car and Jared sat in the back Sapnap started driving. We stopped at one store and picked up a bunch of clothes and hygiene products. Jared pulled me to the side and fiddled with his hands.

" Can I buy some nail polish and maybe some makeup?" He asked quietly.

" Of course buddy. You can buy whatever you want. Today is about you and what you want." I said. He hugged me tightly and nodded. I smiled and we picked out some nail polish. He grabbed some makeup and we went back to the car. We went to Target to get things for his room. He picked out a bunch of stuff. He pulled to the side again and looked at the ground.

" Whatever you want you can grab it," I said reassuringly. He looked at me and nodded. We went and grabbed some stuffed animals and some fidget toys. I smiled and loved seeing how he was doing today. I know it might not last long.

" Do you want a TV for your room?" Sap asked Jared.

" That's a lot of money." He said quietly.

" It's not an issue. Whatever you want." Sap said placing a hand on Jared's shoulder. He nodded lightly. We picked up a TV and a wall mount so we could hang it on the wall.
