karl pov | in the car
when we arrive at the house, i quickly turn off the car and walk to the front steps. i knock on the door and am greeted by george.
"hey george! this is alex." alex steps into view from behind me and waves to george, who just smiles back.
"come on in guys." we both walk in the door and stare at the place in awe. "clay! nick! get your asses down here!"
i turn around looking around the place before feeling two hands on my shoulders. i jump and let out a scream.
"ah! shit! what the fuck who.." i turn around and see clay standing behind me. i sigh and fall towards him landing my head on his chest and letting out another exaggerated sigh. he just laughs and hugs me. i hug him back and shortly after break away, continuing to walk around the house.
sapnap pov | in the dream team house
george, clay, and karl all are walking around the house and clay is showing everything to them so i take this as my chance. i walk into the kitchen after seeing them go downstairs and i grab one of the boxes delivered by karl this morning. i start to open it but something, more like someone covers my eyes.
"i didnt work hard on those for you to be looking at them before your party." i turn and see karl's friend, alex, standing in front of me in a what i would like to call muy sexy outfit [someone please kill me i really wanted to add that]
"you look like a drug dealer." he scoffs and responds with a snap.
"you look like a pet killer." we stare into each others eyes intensely before breaking and laughing.
i wipe a tear that was starting to form on the corner of my eye and calm down.
"my name is nick, its nice to meet you." he takes my hand in his. his hand is so soft and the ring he wore on his thumb was so intricate and beautiful.
"take a picture, it lasts longer." i look up to see alex's face red and mine quickly reddens as well when i turn to my right seeing the three boys back from the basement and karl with a smirk on his face. "you have a phone if you need to use it." i let out a small laugh
"i will let yall do your thing, tell me when the party starts." i turn around and walk upstairs hearing the talking already start.

after setting up more for the party, clay decided to take a nap and now that people are arriving, george sent me up to retrieve the two boys from their rooms. i knock on a door and hear a low voice from the room.
"yeah?" i immediately recognize it as nick's.
"the party is starting, dont want the birthday boy to be late. plus your little boyfriend is lonely downstairs." i hear a loud sigh and the creak of a bed before the door handle turned and nick walked out of his room.
"we arent dating.. yet." my mouth drops as he walked downstairs.
i straighten up [but youre gay? lmao] and i walk over to the next door and knock. i hear nothing and assume it is clay sleeping. i walk in and see him overturned on his bed facing the window. i walk over to near the window and look down at him.
he was so cute when he sleeped. [ok pause real quick. you gonna be a stalker or wake him up?] i watched as his chest raised slowly and rhythmically. [i see.. you chose stalker] i snap out of my trance and shake his shoulder. he groans and rolls over to the other side.
i sigh and slowly climb onto the bed. shaking him.
"clayyy, cmon clay wake upp the party is starting."
"shut upp." he lays on his back and grabs my shoulder pulling me down with him as he lays back onto his side to sleep.
"clay. the party is starting we need to go." he places his head in the crook of my neck, his breath tickling it.
"one more minute." i sigh and relax, staring at the clock before slowly feeling my eyelids drop.

i feel karl's body relax and i assume he fell asleep. i look over his shoulder at the time.
2:34
i stare at the clock in shock and shake karl's shoulder waking him up. he makes a little growl and i chuckle to myself. he rolls over and stares at me after flicking me off and walking to the door.
"no karll, im sorry i was tired. dont be mad." i made sure to emphasize the sarcasm when i said his name. he rolled his eyes before walking out the door. i followed close behind him, walking down the stairs and heading to the living room.
"ah, i see the love birds are awake." i hear a familiar voice to my side and see aster laying with georges arm around her. i scoff and sit at the other side of the room next to nick. "aw, cmon clay take a joke." i look at her in shock as if she was stupid. [she is stupid tho]
"so you are going to call me out as being gay to a whole school and then later you are going to just act like everything is ok? i lost all of my friends! you dont know what that feels like because you decided to keep your sexuality hidden, because you saw what happened to me. you didnt care and you dont. now you act like it is just some joke saying 'oh hi lovebirds' its annoying ok aster! do you want me to go around your school screaming 'aster is bisexual, humiliate her in front of all her friends' no i dont think you do"
i was about to yell more when i felt a soft hand on my thigh and saw karl reassuring me.

when i heard clay was gay i mean sure i was shocked, but i didnt show it. i just put my hand on his thigh in hopes to calm him down. he had been yelling longer than he probably thought. i looked out the window and saw the other guests playing cornhole. i scanned through the crowd, but a blue beanie caught my eye. a boy with a blue beanie sitting alone.
"clay, im going to be right back." when i left the room and headed down the stairs, i could hear more bickering but ignored it. as i walked outside, i went towards wear i saw alex.
"hey, come upstairs, we are all sitting around." he looks up at me and grabs the hand i outstretched to him. we walk up the stairs together and enter back into the living room.
i head to where i was before, and see alex sit down next to nick, leaning against him. clay rests his head on my shoulder. i normally wouldnt have minded it, that is if nick hadnt looked at me with a 'oh.. couple' face. i was quick to flip him off and he just laughed.
"this party is getting boring, how about we spice it up? who is up for a round of truth or dare?" i look over to see astra already sitting on the floor with a bottle of alcohol in front of her. i look over at alex. he isnt comfortable being around alcohol, but he nods and sits down across from aster. the other four of us sit down next to them. aster spins the bottle.
it lands on alex
🔒🔒🔒
"truth or dare. dont be a wimp, newbie." i saw alex's eye gloss over. i knew he didnt like this.
"dare." i turned to aster who had a devilish grin on her face.
"i dare you to drink a glass of this vodka straight." i stare at her in shock getting ready to defend my friend, but i feel a warm hand on mine. i look down to see clays hand on top of mine, and look back up when i heard yelling.

"aster you need to leave. i dont want your drama here." i was surprised when i found out george was the one kicking his girlfriend out. she looked at him in shock and they argued about it, but aster eventually left. i look back over to alex, seeing that he was crying into nick's chest. i jumped up and ran to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. i walked back and handed the glass to nick and sat down next to them. nick gestured for alex to take the water, which he did.
"i will take him to my house, we have another shift at 6:00." i stand up and walk towards the door. i open it and look behind me seeing nick carrying alex. i sigh and walk to my car opening the passenger door for nick to place alex in. he gives him a peck on the forehead saying, "goodbye mi amor", before turning and walking back to the house.
i close the door and walk up to clay, who was standing on the steps. "sorry for the drama, you should probably go get back to your party."
he chuckles softly before grabbing one of my hands and gently touching his lips to my palm. he looks back and me and i hug him. after a second, he hugs me back. i feel warm in his embrace. it was peaceful after all of the commotion that happened.
"i have to go back to the party, but i will stop by at the bakery later to see how alex is holding up, i may bring his little boyfriend with me." i let out a light laugh.
"ill see you then." he turns and walks back inside. i walk back to my car and plop onto the seat.
"i think i like him."

a/n who said it? we will never know
also thank you guys all again for the support on this work, i am really enjoying writing it, and find passion in the characters.
also if i accidentally write 'sapnap' or 'dream' or like 'quackity' instead of their actual names, i am sorry, and please comment on it. the only time i will use their streaming names is when they are streaming. which leads me to the next thing. karl and alex do not know that the three are streamers. [woooooow ikr how cliche] but yeah, karl and alex do not stream, only the dream team does. clay is a delivery man, nick works at a bar [idk it just fits him], and george works at an actual buisness. [we clearly know he is the money maker]
