"Hey, does Karl sleep on call with you guys?"
"Oh yeah, all the time."
Nick listened, nodding to himself at George's response. "Ok, just wondering."
"Why? Something happen?" Dream asked, he had noticed the change in Nick's tone.
"Well, yea..? I mean kind of I guess?" Nick replied, still confused from the statement Karl made when he was falling asleep the previous night.
"Well come on, spill." George said, in his usual teasing tone.
It was about one in the afternoon for Nick, two for Dream, and seven in the evening for George. They always stayed up on call with their face cams on (apart from Dream, of course) like this for hours on end, it didn't matter the day, the time, the three of them were so close, their sleep schedules really didn't matter to any of them.
"I've never like, slept on call with anyone, but he like called me at one in the fuckin morning last night-" Nick laughed a little at his own words, realizing it had been three for karl, because of the time difference.
"Damn, he's never called me that late." George said, getting an agreeing sort of sound from Dream. They never got calls that late from Karl, only ever at 11 the latest, for Karl of course. For George, he usually called him around three in the morning if he intended to stay on call all night, but George was always awake.
"Really? Damn, yea it was weird, now I'm like realizing it was like three for him, so it was fucking late" Nick said, then continued on his tangent. "Anyways, he called me, right? And he was like super upset over something, didn't really tell me what though. He asked me to stay on call while he slept, and like I didn't mind, he seemed really upset over something."
"Was he crying or-" Dream asked
"Yea, crying quite a bit, I could hear him..." Nick said, verbally getting a bit upset by saying that, he felt bad for his friend.
"Aww Karl..." George said, empathy in his voice.
"That's not even the worst part-" Nick blurted, remembering the end of their conversation, the thing that slipped through Karl's lips, like an accident. He couldn't have meant it.
He couldn't have.
"What happened?" Dream asked.
"So like, I tried to comfort him the best I could over the phone, and he seemed to calm down a bit right before he fell asleep-" He took a pause, going over the things he heard in his mind again. "But uh, he said he- he said he loved me."
George could see the blush on Nick's face.

"I said WHAT!?"
"Yea!!!"
The two boys were freaking out. It wasn't even 40 minutes ago that George heard Nick say the things Karl had said on call, but George HAD to tell him. They were best friends after all.
"How- How did I-" Karl was blushing, and having a mini panic attack. This was going to ruin everything, it just was. It was going to destroy their friendship for good, wasn't it?
"He didn't seem like, bothered by it at all though, it was weird." George said, which relaxed Karl just a little.
"Dude, I'm never sleeping on call with him again! Oh my god!!" Karl said, making George laugh.
Karl's phone started ringing.
"Huh? Who's that?" George asked, hearing the ringtone.
Karl reached over and grabbed his ringing phone, looking at the caller id and banner.
It was Nick.
"I- I HAVE TO GO BYE-" Karl yelled into his mic, hanging up on discord and taking his headset off, getting nervous. He hit answer.
"Hey Karl."
"H-Hey Nick!" Karl smiled, not bothered by the small stutter in his voice, but he secretly hoped he didn't notice.
"Just wanted to like, make sure you were ok? We didn't talk today, so-"
Karl thought, knowing that Nick knew what he said. But did Nick know that Karl knew? He certainly didn't about 3 minutes ago.
"Oh, yea yea- I'm fine, thanks though!" Karl smiled, he thought it was sweet that Nick was worried about him.
"...You wanna play minecraft?"
"Yea! I'd love to!"
