Demons V2

Chapter 46: Stream Viewers

Karl POV.

“See, it wasn’t so bad.” Sapnap told me as he brushed his fingers through my hair. We were sitting on his bed and watching the ‘stream’ that Dream had made. I was reluctant, still feeling pissed at George that he had tried to leave without me, however Sapnap had talked me into watching it.

“If you had said yes then we probably could have been in that stream with them having fun.” Sapnap continued on when I didn’t initially answer.
“George didn’t seem to be having fun.” I noted. “He seemed to be asleep.” Even if I was pissed at the brunette he was the main focus for me as I sat there.

“Well he is probably still quite tired.” Sapnap responded. “The drugs and stuff that Bad gave to take daily apparently makes you quite sleepy.” I just nodded before shuffling away from the ravenette demon. For a moment when I was out of his arms reach he gave an instinctive growl which caused me to freeze, but it went silent almost instantly.

Being a wrath demon, as he got close to me he grew very protective, more protective than most other demon species’ were. At least that is what he told me. Sapnap also told me that wrath demons can get angry if other people don’t follow their (as in the wrath demons) basic instincts, which is the reason he growled when I moved from his arms.

“I’m going to have a shower.” I told him after I recovered from the slight shock of him growling at me. Before I did that I grabbed some clothes before I walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind me. After taking a moment to breathe slowly, I pulled my shirt off and then my pants and underwear. I threw them into the laundry basket before standing stiffly.

I did want a shower. For years I had missed the feeling of having daily warm showers and when I finally accepted staying with Sapnap I was happy to be able to have those daily warm showers again. But I didn’t want to shower yet.

Not caring about the fact that I was naked I began thinking and slowly walked over towards the window. The only window in the bathroom was one that was just above my eyeline and I had to stand on the tips of my toes to see. It looked towards the front of the house and the driveway, with trees not too far away that led back to the wilderness.

When I lowered myself off the balls of my feet I stood in thought, mainly thinking about the fact that George had decided to slip off into the forest and try to escape without me. Perhaps he wouldn’t be hurt if I had been going on with him.

Maybe in retaliation I could run off and survive on my own. Since George had been able to get out on his own I figured that I should be able to slip out of the house just as easily. All that I needed to do was grab the keys similarly to how George did. I could slip out of the house and get as far away from here as possible.

The only difference was that, unlike George, I didn’t want to leave the demon that I was with. I loved Sapnap and the bites and marks on my neck proved it, George on the other hand didn’t have that love that I had, or at least he didn’t but the relationship blossomed since he got injured.

As I stared out of the window, ignoring the driveway and the road, and instead focusing on the beautiful expansive landscape, I thought about what I would do if I were to run. I wouldn’t though. I’d grown comfortable with my life and with Sapnap.

George had left me when he made a run for it, and he later tried to reassure me that he was planning on coming back to me but I wasn’t so sure that I believed it. If he had wanted to escape with me, it would be easiest and safest to escape with me at the same time and not have to find a way to sneak back in to sneak me out.

Tears ran down my face at the reminder of the betrayal. George had been my best friend. He had been more than that. He was my brother, my only family left in the world. Before my crying got loud enough to draw the attention of the demon I silenced myself. I wiped my eyes and managed to think enough happy thoughts to calm my strained mind down.

Then I stepped into the shower and turned on the water, feeling the cold water rush over for me before it quickly subsided to a warmth that made me hum contently. My hands ran through my hair as the dampness removed all of its fluffiness.

Sapnap POV.

A loving smile grew on my face as Karl came into the room, wearing clothes that were way too big for him but looked surprisingly cute. Okay I lied, it was not surprising that it was cute. He was an adorably human, just completely innocent and cuddly.

In his hands was a fluffy towel (I had gone and brought a bunch of fluffy towels which I hid from Dream, after we had taken in both George and Karl. They were reserved for the brunette human so that he wouldn’t have to use any of our uncomfortable towels). He had been drying his hair which was now just as fluffy as the fabric in his hands.

“You look so tired and cuddly.” I commented, smiling warmly at him as he approached. He muttered something that I didn’t understand before collapsing into my arms. “You also took a while.” I added on. “Almost thirty minutes.” Not that I was complaining, after all Dream paid all the bills so I wasn’t the one having to deal with that.

“Sorry.” He murmured in response. “Just thinking of something.”
“Do you mind sharing what you were thinking?” I asked, but he shook his head. “Okay then. I don’t mind any of that stuff anyway.” Then I wrapped my arms around his waist and lifted him onto the bed and onto my lap.

“How about we watch a movie."
