Ur Gonna Wish U Believed Me - Karlnap

Chapter 4: You Meant It...?

heyyyy, there was one more chapter before this but it like magically fucking deleted itself and I cannot write something that beautifully again with that much angst, so I skipped it. Don't worry, if you're looking for angst it's coming :)

Nick stretched, having just dumped a huge basket of laundry out on his bed. He was doing everything he could around his apartment, things he did really need to do to move out in a couple months, but in reality, it was because he was so worried about Karl.

He hadn't heard from the ocean eye-colored boy in a day and a half, it was getting on his anxiety, so he was doing chores to distract himself.

He sat down next to the pile, starting to grab clothes one by one, folding each one.

"You're so dumb, why not leave it in the basket?" A voice giggled, making Nick look at the pile.

He saw the prettiest boy in the whole world, sprawled out on the clothes like it was the bed itself. His hair was messy, his fingernails painted white and pink, a blush dusting his cheeks.

And then he was gone.

God I can't do this anymore...

"Sorry I hung up on you, I'm fine, so sorry,"

The Brunette looked at the text he typed out. Was it too suspicious?

He hit send anyway.

He had woken up a couple hours after he passed out, cleaning up himself and the bathroom, throwing away the clothes he stained. He also wrapped bandage wraps around his hips, where the now very noticeable cuts were.

He felt horrible, having ignored Nick for this long.

His phone started ringing, facetime, again.

"I-..." Karl thought for a second, putting his phone flat on his bed that he was sitting on so Nick couldn't see him, since he had clearly been crying. He answered.

"Karl!?" Nick almost yelled, looking at the screen shocked, then confused.

"Yea, uhm.. Hi- sorry..."

"No no wait, don't be sorry, are you ok..?" Nick asked. Karl looked at the screen, he looked worried. "Can I see you..? You scared me-"

That made his heart hurt worse, the fact that Nick was scared for Karl. He grabbed his phone, covering his mouth and chin with the sleeve of his sweater as he showed his face, eyes puffy and his face red, from crying.

"I- Karl..." Nick barely spoke, he was so quiet. He set the phone on his desk, he was in his gaming chair, Karl noticed. He looked so worried, it hurt Karl's heart.

"I-I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to uhm- to scare you-" Karl said, looking at the floor below his bed as he lazily held his phone. He was glad his hands were covered, or off screen, his nails had blood stains on them from earlier.

"Can you tell me what happened..?" Nick asked, making Karl look back up at the phone.

Did he really want to spill everything, here? Now?

"I- Uhm.." Karl thought to himself, he was still convinced that Nick didn't mean anything he said, he was just tired. "I-I guess I panicked..."

"Oh god, no I'm so sorry- I really didn't mean to make you uncomfortable-" Nick started, cutting himself off when Karl looked at him, a little shocked. "...what?"

"I- You remember..?"

"Yea..? Of course I do, I wasn't that tired-" Nick laughed a little, the blush showing up again from a couple nights ago.

Am I dreaming?

"I- You- you remember everything? Everything you said? Everything I said!?" Karl didn't notice that his cheeks were getting red. There was no way this was happening.

"You think I'd forget anything your pretty face says..?" Nick mumbled, smiling just a little at his phone, God he was down bad for this brunette.

Karls eyes went wide, just like the other night. But, this time, instead of panic, what filled him was flusteredness. He was wrong, what he thought Nick thought was wrong, completely wrong.

"You think I'm pretty..?"

"Duh.." Nick laughed, looking at his phone, cheeks red, just like Karl's.

"No.. No no you don't- you were tired! Y-You were tired-" Karl started tearing up. He had moved to his chair at his desk, his phone balancing on his monitor a foot from his face. He took both his hands, covering his face with his sleeves as he let tears fall.

"Wait- Wait Karl.. Oh god.. Hey, no! No that's not it baby.." Nick spoke so softly, it made Karl's heart swell. "I meant every word, and I still do.."

Karl glanced at his phone, tears in his eyes, fingers poking out from the sleeves of his sweater. "R-Really..?"

Nick nodded, giving Karl the warmest smile in the whole world.

He didn't fully trust him, he still thought what he thought, but he was going to let those emotions die for now. He was going to try not to unintentionally lie to himself for just a bit.

"I did too.." Karl said, looking to the side as his crying went down, his cheeks getting redder.

Nick laughed, resting his head on one of his hands, elbow on his desk. "You think I'm sexy?" He smirked, which Karl saw, and it made his heart feel like he was doing jumping jacks.

Karl nodded, giggling just a little.

"Can I come see you?" Nick blurted, clearly having no filter at the moment.

"W-What!?" Karl yelled a bit, freaking out just a little over the sudden-ness.

"I wanna come up there, come see you in person.." Nick said, a bit embarrassed that his thoughts turned into out loud thoughts. "I could be there tomorrow, flights are cheap..-"

"You've- you've looked at flights?"

"I- Shut up-"

Karl giggled at him, smiling very widely. "Yea I'd- I'd like that..."

"Alright, I'm booking a ticket right fucking now-"
