Chapter Text
Just like that. Two teenagers in love. Now one month later they sit in a small cafè called Puffys Pastries. Hand in hand, talking about everything that means nothing. Arguing over pancakes and waffles, whipping whipped cream off the others nose. Enjoying just eachothers company until they hear a small bell chime.
"Karl!" They look up, Nick subconsciously tightening his grip as the man walks over.
"Q! What's up? What are you doing back?" Karl slipped out of his grip and hugged the man named Q. He was shorter than Nick with longer black hair tucked under a navy beanie. He had a slim build covered with a blue windbreaker.
"Took care of what I needed down in Mexico so now I'm back!" He pauses and looks down at Nick. He didn't realize the look he was giving Q until he felt the sting inside his cheek.
"Who's this?" Q said.
"Nick, this is Quackity. He just moved back from Mexico but before that he lived down the block from me." Karl turned from Nick to Quackity. "This is Nick," Karl paused in a way making Nick's stomach twist a bit. "my boyfriend."
Quackitys face went from shock, anger and frustration in about one second. It seems they both noticed and Karl spoke up first.
"Anyways Q I'll see you around!" Karl placed a hand on the boy's shoulder and he walked away.
"Ka-"
"He is just my ex. I know you and I know you're protective and you worry but we are only friends." Karl read his mind as he usually would. It made Nick feel a bit of comfort but still the insecurities poked at the back of his brain. All telling him that he is giving nothing to Karl and that he would be better off without him.
"I love you " Karl says in a sing-song voice. "I love you!!" He continues louder.
Nick shushes him while blushing, burying his head in his arms. Only a moment later he feels soft hands pull at his, pushing his head back up.
“I love you Nick!” Karl continues singing. He jumps atop the chair causing even more people to look at him oddly.
“Oh Sapinap!” Karl does a dramatic pose and stands on the small round table. “Do you love me?” Karl crouches down so he’s only slightly above the other.
Nick‘s face is so red and Karl takes advantage of this. “Does someone have a crush?!” Karl gasps. “Tell me about him!” He jumps down to the side of Nick right next to his ear. “Is he tall?” He jumps to the other side, “Brunette? C’mon Nick spill!”
Nick knew Karl wasn’t going to stop until they got kicked out. While he found it completely adorable, he was going to hit the boy. So he did the only thing he could to shut him up.
“Sapnapppp tel-“ Karl was cut off by a hand on his jaw and a kiss on his lips.
“You're my crush, dumbass.” He smiles as he pulls away.
