dnf and some karlnap things might add to this might not:)

i think it went a bit off topic

The sky was a shade of indigo that evening, like a deep, velvety cloak draped across the heavens. It seemed to beckon to them, to urge them onward, to seek what their hearts desired. For Karl, that meant confessing his love for his best friend, Sapnap. He knew that the stars would align just right tonight, and that if he didn't seize this moment, it would be lost forever. His heart raced with anticipation, and his palms grew sweaty as they walked through the sleepy town.

They stopped at their favorite spot, a quiet clearing by the river where they often came to talk. The sound of the water rushing by was almost hypnotic, lulling them into a sense of calm before the inevitable storm. Karl took a deep breath, mustering up the courage to say what he needed to say. "Sapnap," he began, his voice cracking slightly, "I've loved you for as long as I can remember."

Sapnap's face flushed with surprise and embarrassment. "Karl, I... I mean, I love you too, but not like that. I've always seen you as more of a brother, someone I can trust and rely on. I'm sorry if I've ever led you on or made you think..."

The air between them shifted, becoming heavy and charged with emotion. Karl felt a lump forming in his throat, but he forced the words out anyway. "It's okay, Sapnap. I understand. I just wanted you to know how I feel. I'll still be your friend, and I'll always be here for you."

Sapnap looked down at his feet, a flicker of sadness in his eyes. "I appreciate that, Karl. You mean the world to me too, you know that? But I don't want to ruin our friendship over this. I want us to stay the way we are."

The sky seemed to grow heavier, as if bearing witness to the weight of their unspoken words. A cool breeze rustled through the trees, sending a shiver down their spines. Karl knew that he couldn't force Sapnap to feel the way he did, but he couldn't help hoping that maybe one day, their feelings might change.

"Okay," he said, his voice quiet but steady. "I understand. I just want you to know that I'll always be here for you, Sapnap. No matter what."

They stood there in silence for a moment, the sound of the river providing a soothing background to the awkwardness between them. Karl could feel the weight of his heart lifting slightly, knowing that he had finally voiced his feelings and that Sapnap understood.

"Thank you, Karl," Sapnap finally said, his voice cracking just a little. "For being there for me, for being my friend. I don't know what I'd do without you."

They stood there for a while longer, neither one of them quite sure what to say next. The weight of the confession hung in the air between them, making it difficult to breathe at times. But they both knew that they had crossed an invisible line, and that their relationship would never be quite the same again.

As they started to walk back toward town, the stars seemed to wink at them, as if encouraging them to find solace in the constancy of the universe. Despite the turmoil within, the familiar sights and sounds of home began to soothe their souls. The warm yellow glow spilling out of windows, the laughter that drifted through open doors, the smell of cooking wafting on the breeze. It was as if the world was trying to tell them that everything would be okay, that life would go on, even if their hearts were a little bruised.

They didn't speak much on the way back, content to simply be in each other's company. There was an unspoken understanding between them now, a new layer of depth to their friendship that neither could quite put into words. As they parted ways at the edge of the forest, each heading home to their separate lives, they shared a look that conveyed more than any words ever could. It was a look of understanding, of acceptance, and of love, albeit not the romantic kind they had both hoped for.

The next day, and every day after that, they went about their lives as usual. They studied together, played games, and even shared moments of laughter. But beneath the surface, their feelings for each other remained, a constant undercurrent that added a new dimension to their friendship. They never again spoke of the night by the river, nor did they try to force something that wasn't meant to be. Instead, they chose to cherish the bond they shared and the love they had for one another, knowing that it was a rare and precious thing in a world filled with pain and loss.
