Never Alone

~7~

Karl's Pov-

I walked to Jared's bedroom and knocked. There was a small come in so I walked in. I saw Jared and Shane sitting on the bed. Jared was looking upset and Shane was holding him.

" You okay buddy?" I asked gently. He nodded.

" Shane, is there anything specific you would like to eat?" He shook his head.

" Anything is fine with me. Thank you." He said. I nodded and went to walk out. Jared came over to me and pulled me to the side.

" I want to tell him. We sort of got into a heated make-out session but I freaked out. He thinks he did something wrong but I tried to tell him it wasn't him. I just don't know how to tell him. I'm scared he will leave me." He admitted fiddling with his sleeves. I set a hand on his shoulder.

" Listen I might not know him very well but I don't think he's going to leave. The fact that he's concerned that he did something shows he cares. If he does leave he's an idiot." I said. He nodded and hugged me.

" Sap and I will be in the kitchen if you need anything." He nodded and went back into his room. I walked into the kitchen and looked at Sap.

" Okay, so I might have lied," I said with a laugh. He looked at me confused.

" He just explained how he had a heated make-out session," I said. Sap looked and me and chucked. We finally finished cooking and Sapnap went to tell the boys. I began setting the table. The boys came into the kitchen and sat at the table. Shane sat beside Jared and me and Sap sat beside each other.

" So Shane tell me a little bit about yourself," Nick said.

" Well I'm 16 and I work 2 jobs. I'm obviously in school. I'm not sure what I want to do when I graduate. I love doing art and things along those lines. I'm going to be moving in with my brother soon. My parents aren't that great." He said messing with his food.

" Wait who did you tell me your brother was again? I'm sorry things have been so crazy I couldn't remember." Jared said. Shane wrapped his arm around Jared.

" It's okay. His name is George." Me and Sap looked at each other.

" Does he happen to have a boyfriend named Dream?" I asked. Shane nodded looking confused.

" We are friends with them. They stopped by today." Sap said.

" Wait really?" He asked. We nodded. He looked down at his plate.

" Can you maybe not tell them I'm dating Jared? It's nothing against you at all honey it's just they don't know I'm gay yet. I plan on telling them when it feels right." He said. Jared nodded.

" No, I understand. I didn't tell Sap and Karl about you till last night." He said with a laugh.

" Don't worry we won't say anything," I said reassuringly. He nodded lightly. After dinner, we cleaned the table.

" Can we watch Grey's Anatomy?" Jared asked. I nodded.

" Shane, you want to help me get some popcorn and drinks?" I asked he nodded. We walked into the kitchen and started getting the stuff.

" Listen Shane me and George are close, and I want you to know that he's told me things that have happened to him growing up. If you ever need someone to talk to about it I'm here. I want you to know that if you need someone I'm here and I won't tell anyone. I'm a safe place." I said placing a hand on his shoulder. He nodded. I smiled and we walked into the living room. I sat beside Sap and Jared was beside me. Him and Shane cuddled close, and I smiled. Sapnap stood up and walked the dogs. When he was done, he walked to the bedroom. He came back a few moments later. He sat beside me and pulled me close.
