Cupid (DNF + Karlnap)

Chapter 20: Midnight Flight

Karl POV.

Curled up under the blankets I was barely awake, feeling more exhausted than I had in a while. The bed was quite large and it felt cold without someone to share it with, especially when that someone was an angel who possessed fire powers that were able to warm me in the cold and lonely evenings.

The house was quiet, and so I considered sneaking across the hallway to try and find my beloved, but that idea has its own risks and flaws. If I woke someone up I'd feel guilty, and it could also jeopardise the relationship that we claimed to have.

It would result in all of the work we had started being for nothing. We would be sent back home and I would feel like a failure. Sapnap would also feel like a failure which is something I wanted to prevent even more than my own feelings. He didn't deserve to feel bad because of my mistakes. My thoughts were beginning to spiral but I caught myself.

A tapping at the window caught my attention. It began as something slow, sounding like something I brushed off as a bird or some form of Florida insect. Then I began to notice a strange heat. It wasn't a physical heat like a fire, just an emotional heat, one that warmed me and put me at ease.

Cautiously I slipped out of bed. The pads of my toes barely brushed against the soft carpet as I approached the cream coloured curtains. My fingers brushed along the edge of the fabric as I soaked up the heat before pulling it open.

Floating there with small flaps of his wings was my beloved fire controlling soulmate. Sapnap had seemed anxious, but when his eyes met mine the expression changed and softened. It filled itself with awe and without hesitation I opened the window. "What are you doing out here?" I asked the seraphim quietly. "You could be seen."

"Everyone else is asleep and we're in the middle of nowhere." He responded. "I'm fine, plus I wanted to see you." The words made my heart throb, but I resisted.
"But it is risky." I muttered. "If George, or Dream, or Techno see you then we would have to leave. They could get harmed in the crossfire."

"Then perhaps you ought to let me inside." He quipped, and I nodded. My hands went to hold him and I helped guide him through the window. When he was safely on the carpet alongside me he pulled me into a sudden kiss. "Thank you Karl, my beloved. You truly are an angel." He kissed the side of my face and I giggled.

"Maybe it would have been easier to just walk across the hallway." I pointed out, especially since his wings were all messy and I'd have to preen them again for the tenth time this week. I sighed at this realisation and lifted my gaze to him.
"But that isn't as romantic, darling." He pointed out. "A forbidden flight."

My fingers began brushing themselves through his feathers. Although the idea of a night flight would be sweet, it would be a big risk as well. Instead of responding to his offer I let out a hum. "It seems like Dream is in love with George, but we had already concluded that earlier." Sapnap nodded, attempting to shift around.

"Well from our conversations with Dream it seems clear that he loves George." I noted, legs sliding together. "He has all but admitted it, I even sensed it."
"George has been harder to convince." Sapnap added on, moving away from me to start pacing, like a detective. I agreed with a nod.

"He has claimed that Dream would never love him. Yet he admits the two of them would make a cute pair." The ravenette continued.
Slowly my eyes narrowed. "So the best option would be-"
"-to convince George that Dream loves him " we spoke in unison.

It made me giggle, perhaps the two of us were a little two loud as we heard a knocking on my bedroom door. "Karl?" The voice of Dream pushed through the cracks in the door. "Are you alright? I heard some noises."
My eyes widened and I spun around to Sapnap. "Hide." I hissed.

The door opened and an eye peered through the crack, just after I managed to hide my wings. "Karl." He seemed surprised to see me up. "Sorry for barging in. I just heard voices and what sounded like giggling." His gaze drifted around the room, peering right through Sapnap who had hidden himself from the human gaze.

"It's perfectly fine." I smiled, walking over to him. "Sorry for disturbing you."
"Yes…" His eyes narrowed. "I was wondering if George was in here?"
"George?" I was concerned, thinking about how he thought I was with him. "No. He isn't in here. I was on a call… with my mother."

“Oh… well I am sorry for barging in.” He chuckled, seeming more awkward and upset now that he had basically accused me of hiding his best friend, and interrupted a call with a family member. My hands shoved themselves in my pocket, acting as though I had a phone when truthfully I did not.

“Your window is open.” The blond noted, and I let out a squeak as he stared right through Sapnap. Sure enough it had not been closed properly, and the ravenette had to silently shuffle out of the way to avoid the blond as he went to close it.

“Yes…” I quickly began. “I was taking in the view… Florida is truly beautiful.” For a moment I hesitated, watching as the blond looked out longingly to the outside world as well. “George had said that the two of you would be able to show us around.”
“Together?” Dream questioned, and I merely nodded.

He stayed in the window, looking out over the sights and seemingly in a pleasant daze. When he finally broke out of it he stumbled and blinked a few times. “Well that might be good.”
“Yes.” I nodded. I noticed Sapnap shifting from one leg to the other, potentially wanting to return to bed or to continue us talking to one another.

“I am sorry to bother you.” The blond muttered, turning on the ball of his feet and leaving. My brows furrowed, thinking he had been acting quite curiously but the moment the door had shut Sapnap came to kiss me.

“That was close.” He chuckled between marking up my face.
“It was.” I agreed. “Now, where were we?”

Potentially angel sex number three. Perhaps I lied about the fact that angels are not horny/kinky.

Nothing else of note, just remember to read EZRAisTHEBEST 's smut chapter.
