im writing a 30k+ karlnap coming of age fanfic and omg i am so happy with it, also im posting the next chapter of the other side of paradise tonight.
here is a small part from my new fanfic btw i really love writing it :)
"luckily it was getting dark and the sky was murky, no one was around besides the occasional jogger. karl treaded slowly ahead of him while taking everything in, "these were our swings" he stopped in front of a swingset.
"yeah" sapnap said, "that one was yours and this one was mine"
karl was quiet for a second before sitting in the now too small swing, it seemed not that long ago but seeing the size difference sapnap knew it had been forever.
"sit" karl requested, pointing at the swing beside him. his swing.
sapnap didn't respond, he squeezed into the swing as best he could. once he sort of fit in he pushed himself, swinging slowly in the air. the metal above them creaked, it was made for children after all.
"i can't believe you brought me here" karl said, swinging higher.
"you like it?" sapnap looked at him curiously.
"i love it" karl smiled, "i forgot about this place"
swinging higher, he could feel the wind in his hair. it was relaxing and therapeutic almost, karl giggled loudly beside him and sapnap could only join along.
they were both seniors in highschool but in that fleeting moment, they felt like the kids they used to be. the kids that were free."
