Cupid (DNF + Karlnap)

Chapter 44: Panic

Dream POV.

“Techno! Wake up!” I called out, banging on his bedroom door with my brows furrowed. An aura of panic surrounded me before I glanced over towards the door of the guest room where both Sapnap and Karl… or whatever they truly were… were still trapped. “Techno please! This is important for fucks sake!”

The door opened and Techno was there. Despite the fact it was early morning he seemed wide awake, only annoyed that I had disturbed him. “It’s early Dream. Wha-” I cut him off before he could finish his sentence, feeling panicked and worried.
“Sapnap and Karl are not human.” I told him quickly, voice low.

From the pinkette’s expression I could tell he didn’t believe me, and after glancing back to make sure there was still no movement I explained to him. “I went to try and talk to Sapnap, went into his room but both he and Karl were in there cuddling each other shirtless. Which means that they were lying about the fact they weren’t in a relationship.”

Techno still did not care, brows furrowing. “How does… uh… how does that make them not human?” He questioned. “I understand that they are assholes if they were lying about it, but aren’t you doing the same thing with George right now.” I blushed for a moment, being caught off guard by his observation, but then I cleared my throat.

“They had wings.” I told him. “At least Karl did and Sapnap knew. They are not human!” That seemed to convince him, at least I think it did. I was unable to dissect his strange expression and so I kept talking. “We need to go. Grab your essentials and I’ll grab George.”

I didn’t give him time to respond, instead just breaking into a run and hurrying down the hallway to my room, throwing over the door. “George.” My voice softened lovingly, wanting to soften the blow as I told him the truth about his crush. The speed and panic that I had for Techno disappeared to be gentle.

“George.” My hand was on his arm, gently patting him. “You have to wake up. We need to go right now.” He let out a tired groan, and my hand moved to run through his hair.
“What’s going on?” He asked, sitting up as continued to hold him. “What time is it?”

“We need to go.” I told him. “Something happened. Grab your essentials and let’s go.” He was uncertain as I helped him up.
“Wait… what happened?” He asked. My hand was in his and I continued to lead him before he tugged his wrist free.

“Dream?” His voice was more firm, hands moving to run through his hair. “I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what exactly happened.”
“Karl and Sapnap are not human.” I told him, my voice a firm hiss. “They have wings or something. We need to go.”

“Wings?” George questioned, still uncertain. “What do you mean wings?”
"Like bird wings or angel wings or something." My thoughts were running a mile a minute, my mouth barely able to keep up. "I don't know, but they were hiding them from us, so we can't trust them."

"So what do we do?" He asked. "I mean they haven't hurt us. Maybe they are nice… angels… or bird people. " They have hurt us though. They have hurt him. Not physically, but emotionally, draining George and making him hate himself. I didn't say that out loud, instead just motioning for us to leave.

We were taking much longer than I had hoped we would. I had figured we'd be out in less than two or three minutes and would hide in the car on the side of the road and call the cops, or the army, or perhaps the church would be more appropriate. I wasn't sure what would work in this scenario.

I ran back into the hallway, hoping to hurry and get out of the house, but I was cut off as I spotted Karl and Sapnap standing in the hallway. Techno was alongside them, a smirk on his face which shocked and worried me.

Sapnap POV

"Oh no… what do we do? I'm such an idiot! We-we need to tell someone. Tell Philza or… or someone!" Karl panicked the moment Dream had shut the door, tears running down his eyes. I was in a state of shock as well.

I was indecisive, part of me wanted to run out there and try to talk to Dream, but looming over us was the threat of a gun. I wanted to comfort my soulmate but we were in a hurry. I wanted to tell Philza what was happening but we'd probably be fired.

"Calm down dove." I hummed, standing up and pulling on a shirt. Even though I was freaking out as much as my beloved was, I managed to keep a calm composure. "I'll find Techno. He'll probably know what to say to calm Dream down." I smiled to reassure him. Karl Slowly nodded and stood up too.

"You can stay here." I told him. "I don't want to risk you getting shot."
"Well I don't want you getting shot either." He informed me firmly.
I looked lovingly at the brunette. "I can handle getting shot for your sake dove."
Karl was already standing up, panic replaced with determination. "Then so can I."

Before I did anything I was careful to peek out the door, making sure there wasn’t anyone standing there with a shotgun of some sort to point in our face. Thankfully I couldn’t see Dream around, and pushed the door open further to walk to Techno’s room. He pushed the door open before I had the chance to get close and glared in my direction.

“What the hell did you two do?” He asked, glaring towards me as he marched over with an unexplainable purpose. Then the pinkette lowered his voice to a growl. “How do you fuck up hiding your wings and sleeping in different beds?”
“Don’t pin this on us. If Dream had knocked like a normal person it wouldn’t have happened.”

“So what do we do??” Karl whisper hissed to Techno. “Dream threatened to shoot us… I don’t want Sapnap or me to get shot.”
“Dream doesn’t own a gun.” Techno reassured. We both nodded and myself and my soulmate took a moment to regain our breath after our little scare and looked over as Dream approached.
