sapnap's pov:
After sitting on the bench with Karl for who knows how long I get a call from Wilbur and I actually answer it.
"where the fuck are you, you have us worried sick" I hear his voice from the other side of the line, he seems pissed the fuck off.
"Karl was upset before he disappeared from the rink soon after, and I just had to go after him" I explain.
Wilbur sighs, "did you at least find him?"
"yes, I did... well he kind of found me" I smile softly even though he can't see it.
"how did you know where to find him?" I hear Quackity pitch in.
"I didn't, I just sort of guessed that he went back home and I sat on a bench in defeat, but he ended up coming up to me and sitting down beside me"
"oh, well that's good that you found him, should Wilbur and I go home as well?" Quackity asks.
"its completely up to you guys" I respond.
"I think we're going to go back home, see you guys soon" Wilbur says before ending the call.
I put the phone down and look back at Karl, "it's getting pretty dark now we should go back to your place or mine, whichever you prefer"
"my place, Quackity and Wilbur are gonna come back and go to my place anyway, and I want to see them again" he smiles.
I take him by the hand and lead him to his own house like he doesn't know where he's going. We stayed silent the entire walk, of course it was comfortable silence, there was nothing to be said, so none of us bothered to say anything. And it was nice.
Karl didn't want to do anything once he got back home, he just wanted to sit down and watch tv.
I didn't bother to question it, I just went along with what he said, after all he was pretty upset and I don't want to ruin his mood once again.
I found myself falling asleep while trying to focus on the screen infront of me, luckily Wilbur and Quackity burst through the door right as my eyes closed.
"HEYYY" Quackity yells.
"shh, it's late at night they might be sleeping" Wilbur whispers and covers Quackity's mouth.
Quackity smiles and Wilbur pulls away his hand and wipes it on his pants. I can't see what Quackity did to make Wilbur yank his hand back so fast, but now I wish I did, because I am beyond curious.
"what are you two doing over there" I say, making the other two jump.
"we thought you were sleeping" Wilbur sighs.
"I was falling asleep, but Quackity's screaming woke me right up" I giggle.
"I told you not to scream" Wilbur shoves Quackity playfully.
"come sit down with us" Karl smiles at them.
Wilbur drags Quackity over to the couch and sits down.
Wilbur slides down the couch closer to me, but doesn't say a thing. I don't think anything of it until he does it again.
"do you know why Karl was so upset and why he left so abruptly?" he whispers to me.
I shake my head in response, I wish I knew why, but if he doesn't want to tell me that is completely okay. As long as he's comfortable.
We continue to watch television as I get closer and closer to falling asleep. I try my hardest to keep my eyes open and continue watching while talking with the others, but the lights are off and I'm just so tired.
My eyelids are beginning to get heavy and I can't keep them open any longer. I give in and shut them, falling asleep.

(I haven't used a time skip in awhile oh my goshhh)
I slowly open my eyes and feel that my head is on someone's shoulder, probably Karl's, that's so nice of him to stay here and not disturb my sleep. I dart my eyes around the room and find a window, it's still pitch dark outside, it's probably 1-3am right about now. I pick my head up and rub my eyes, I turn to Karl, but..
it's Wilbur.
"oh shit, I'm so sorry for falling asleep on you like that, I thought you were Karl" I murmur.
"it's okay, I just didn't want to disturb you, you looked like you needed the sleep" he gives me a soft smile.
"I'll just go back home now, thank you for the fun day today" I get up, but Wilbur grabs my hand. I jolt at the sudden movement.
"just stay here for the night, I'm sure Karl won't mind if you sleep in his bed with him" he insists.
"okay, I guess it is pretty late to walk home right now" I smile and walk up the stairs sleepily, leaving Wilbur in the dark.
but before I reached the top Wilbur speaks up, "goodnight, I lo- oh, sorry I'm used to saying night to Quackity, goodnight Sapnap"
"goodnight Wilbur" I say back to him before going to Karl's room.
I enter his room and I feel the sudden temperature change, he has his fan on. He looks like he's in a pretty deep sleep and I don't want to wake him.
shit, what do I do now. I don't want to get into his bed and risk waking him up, but I don't want to sleep on the floor either.
I stand there just contemplating what to do for a couple minutes, and I come to the conclusion of going back downstairs to sleep on the couch. I was doing that before, so why can't I do that now.
every single light that was on before I went to sleep are now shut off and I can't see a thing, I don't have his house layout memorized to the point where I can find my way around in the dark.
I grab onto the railing for stability and feel the edges of the stairs with my foot, slowly making my way down the stairs.
Finally, I reach the bottom and am not so cautious. I grab onto the couch and fall on-top of it.
hopefully I can sleep just as easily as I did a few hours ago.
I keep tossing and turning as I try to find a comfortable spot but nothings working. I sit up in defeat. Nothing to look at, nothing to listen to, I'm just sitting in silence.
I don't know what to do now, I can't fall asleep on the couch and I can't walk home now, it's way too dangerous, I also can't sleep in Karl's bed, I'll end up waking him up. The only extra room is the room Quackity and Wilbur are sleeping in.
So, I guess I'll have to pull out my phone and stay up all night.
That's exactly what I did, except it's only been an hour of me doing that, I'm bored, but not tired. I know I'm going to have a headache in the morning if I don't sleep, but I can't.
I turn off my phone and lay in the dark staring at the ceiling in silence, waiting for me to magically fall asleep without feeling tired at all.
I stay still, in that position for an hour, I know it's been an hour because I checked the time on my phone. I groan in frustration, but then I hear a creaking noise come from the stairs, breaking the dreadful silence. It's Quackity.
"what are you doing down here?" he asks.
"I could ask you the same thing" I reply.
"getting water, I woke up and I'm thirsty, now answer my question" he wakes over to the kitchen and pours himself some water.
"I don't want to wake up Karl by getting into bed with him so I decided to sleep on the couch again, but I can't fall asleep" I sigh.
"hmm, I guess you'll just have to risk waking him up then" he shrugs and walks back upstairs.
Shortly after I hear the same creaking noise.
"Quackity did you run out of water already" I scoff as I look over towards the staircase, but this time it's Wilbur.
"no, he didn't, he's fast asleep now" he smiles.
"what are you doing here?" I question.
why is everyone coming downstairs and getting water all of a sudden.
"getting water for myself, I didn't want to steal Quackity's" he murmurs.
of course he's getting water too, just as I suspected.
"Quackity told me why you're down here before he fell asleep" he says.
"oh, why did he do that" I furrow my eyebrows.
"he was trying to get a solution for you, but I couldn't think of one either" he grabs his cup of water and puts it on the table infront of me.
He pushes me up into a sitting position as he takes a seat beside me. I look at him with a confused look on my face, questioning what he's doing. He sees that I'm confused but still says nothing.
"wha-" Wilbur covers my mouth to shut me up before I can ask any questions.
"you're so loud, don't wake up the others" he whispers.
I apologize and he lays down, pulling me down with him, he wraps his arms around me and I instantly feel myself getting sleepy.
"Since you fell asleep on my shoulder earlier I was thinking maybe you'd fall asleep with someone here with you, but since you don't want to wake up Karl, I'm your next best thing" he giggles.
"I doubt it'll work"
that was the last thing I said before I found myself closing my eyes and drifting to sleep.
