I wake up alone in the living room area. I can hear the sound of the shower upstairs. At least he didn't go directly to play Minecraft or something. He still (kinda) had his life together. Which was a plus. I don't know if I'd be able to stand him if he didn't honestly.
I get up from my uncomfortable position on the couch and go to wash the dishes from last night. Now that, he didn't do. But it's fine, I really don't mind cleaning up after him as long as he doesn't get all sassy about it. He did once. He's been afraid ever since. I inhale deeply and walk out of the kitchen, towards the stairs.
Sapnap's door is cracked open, so I softly grab the doorknob, without turning it, and push the door open a little further to peek inside. It's a mess. Clothes all over the floor, trashcan flooding over, and empty cans on his desk. I tiptoe over to his desk to take as many of the cans as I can carry, but when I get there something starts beeping on his computer.
It's a discord call. From Dream and George. I smirk. This could be fun. I quickly look around to make sure Nick isn't near, although I'm just paranoid, I can still hear the water from the shower. I press accept and stay silent, no greeting.
"NO DREAM HELP ME", Geroge is panicking. I can hear Dream wheezing in the background, trying hard to breathe. I almost can't stop myself from laughing, even though I'm absolutely lost.
"DREAM!", George yells, even more, panicked now. I can't help it, I let out a small laugh before clutching my hand over my mouth. "SAPNAP! HELP ME DREAM IS BEING MEAN", George cries into the mic. I snicker at them thinking it's my brother laughing.
Dream is still too busy wheezing to notice my high-pitched voice. I contain my laugh and fall silent again. George starts screaming at Dream again and then he calms down after saying "oh, I got out". I still don't say anything, and now Dream's noticing.
"Sapnap? Did you walk away?", he asks confused as to why I'm so silent. He's used to Nick throwing his sarcastic comments everywhere. You eyeroll and speak for the first time.
"It's not Sapnap you dorks", I tell them in a snarky voice. Wow, I'm really coming off as a total bitch, aren't I? Whatever they know me since before so it's fine. Well, they've known me for about 12 hours but that's fine.
"Y/n?", they say in unison. Except Dream puts it like a statement instead of a question.
"Indeed I am. And need I remind you, I'm superior over my brother as the older sibling?"
"First, you are not. Second... okay you kinda are until now, you're much nicer than Sapnap", Dream says. I smile proudly.
"I know I am", I say, with an almost unbearable amount of sass.
"And you just ruined it", he shoots back.
"HEY! That's not fair, you can't revoke my awesomeness", I scoff at him.
"Guys, guys", George says after sighing. "Stop bickering, please"
"Okay George", Dream says, lovable. 'As if', I scoff in my head before speaking to him, to both of them actually.
"Hmpf", I mutter. "Simp", I then say under my breath, towards Dream.
"He is not-", George gets cut off.
"I'm a proud simp for George, yes", Dream says, full of himself. I cringe at this statement. Were Sapnap's friends always this... weird or was it just because I am here? Either way, it makes me grimace.
"Whatever you say Dream", I shake it off. "I'll leave now, have fun boys", I leave the call with those words. Then I think that maybe I should've left it there for my brother to find. Whatever. I get out of his chair, which, for the record, needs cleaning. I'll tell him that later. I leave his room just in time to see the bathroom door open.
"Ah, you're awake now", Sap says. Yeah, no shit I'm right here. But I don't say that.
"Yes, I am. I also took care of the dishes, you dirty little shit", I say only half-jokingly. I hope he hears the joke part.
"Thanks", he proceeds to walk to his room. I furrow my brows, tilting my head after him, but then I shrug it off, walking into my own room. I sit down at my desk, taking off yesterday's makeup. Gross. Then I put on a facemask before taking up my phone from my back pocket.
I have more notifications from Twitter, but that's all. Most of them are from Sapnap's friends and fans. Fantastic. I look at the ones from his friends first. It's a bunch of follows, but also some messages. The newest one is from Karl. Again. How does he have so much free time? Nick barely even has time to sleep.
karl too
Wassup? :]
nothing much, what ab you
Fighting crime in my neighborhood, the usual y'know ;)

No? What does that mean?
that it's less chance to get a job at walmart than it is to get into harvard
That's crazy :o
ikr
Right, I messaged to ask something :]
Karl POV:
I didn't actually. I just didn't know what else to say. Where do people get all their words from? I sigh and look over at my nail polishes. Maybe it's time to change my nails again? No, I changed them yesterday. But they don't match my outfit. KARL FOCUS. Right.
y/n
what?
Do you wanna play something with me?
like what?
Idk, Minecraft? More among us?
I never really play minecraft soo
Among us it is then :]
guess so :)
Holy quack, what have I done? Sapnap and Quackity are going to kill me for this. Maybe this was a mistake. No, she's a great person, she's fun to be around. I can have friends. Even if they are my fianceés sister and they are close to my age. I'm honked.
Do you have a computer with among us since you don't have discord?
yeah
Great :]
Uhm, can I have your number then?
Mr. Jacobs, are you hitting on me?
What.
I stare at my screen. Was I? Did it really seem like I was? Was it gonna be awkward now? I start panicking. Thankfully she replies before I've gone completely nuts.
I'm joking with you, chill
Here's my number: (XXX) XXX-XXXX
Ah, thanks
Y/n POV:
He had seemed awfully nervous when I asked if he was hitting on me. As hilarious as it had been, I kinda felt bad for him. What if I totally stressed him out? This is why I have no friends. I shake my head and take out my laptop, loading up Among us.
While it's still loading, I get a phone call from an unknown number. I really hope that's Karl and not some random stranger. I pick up and put the phone on speaker.
"Hello?", I ask nervously.
"Hi", a happy voice greets me back. Thank the gods it is Karl.
"Heyyy", I reply, less frightened now. "So, am I creating a lobby or you?"
We play for a while and have a really fun time. I vent in front of him as the imposter one time, trusting that he'd keep my secret. He doesn't and they vote me out.
"Hey! I feel betrayed", I say to him on the phone. He's just laughing at me.
"Why did you vent right in front of me?", he asks me, still hysterical.
"I thought you wouldn't tell anyone in exchange for your life", I whine at him.
"Because that sounds like a great trade". I can practically hear the eye-roll through the phone. He's going to regret doing that.
"Whatever", I just tell him, trying to seem over it.
~~~
"WHY DID YOU KILL ME?!", he yells.
"WHY DID YOU RAT ME OUT? HUH?", I counter him. There goes his karma.
"BECAUSE YOU VENTED AS IMPOSTER", he shrieks.
We bicker for some time longer until I groan, defeated. "Sure, whatever"
He humphs at me and then we go silent, but a nice kind of silent. We play a couple of more rounds and then I tell him I need to go fetch myself and Sapnap some food. We say goodbye and then hang up. It was really fun playing with him. I'm lost in thoughts as I walk into Sapnap's room. He looks up at me.
"Y/n?", he sound worried. I snap out of my thoughts and give him a wondering hm. "Nothing, you just looked so focused...", he trails off.
"Oh, sorry. I was thinking we'd get some food, what do you say about takeout?", I offer him.
"Sure, let's go", he says and gets up from his chair and together we make our way to his car.
