"Karl? Hey, wake up."

Karls head felt heavy, when he shook his head.

"No."

He heard a chuckle and then felt a hand in his hair.

"Okay.", he heard from above, followed by a quiet sigh, "But I hope you know, that you can't lay in my lap forever."

"Yes, I can."

"No, you can't. Unfortunately."

"Yes. Yes, I can. Fortunately."

Karl looked up at Sapnap, eyes still sleepy and a small smile on his lips.

Sapnap smiled back.

Karl reached up to Sapnaps neck and pulled him down as far as he could for a hug.

Sapnap nearly fell of the couch at the sudden movement, but somehow managed to catch himself and Karl, who was now captured in between Nick's arms.

"Hey!", the younger giggled and Karl smiled into the nape of his neck.

Sapnap wrapped his arms around the older one, gave him a small kiss on the forehead.

Karl blushed a bit, as he was normally the one being affectionate and Nick kissing him first was a fairly rare occurrence.

"Are you shy?", Nick asked playfully, kissing him again.

"No, no I'm not.", Karl mumbled, before his nervous giggling gave him away.

Getting serious for a second, Sapnap asked: "You know I love you, right?"

Karl looked at him, cupping his face with his hands, before nodding.

He leaned their foreheads against each other and smiled.

"And I love you.", he then whispered.

Nick closed the distance between them and kissed Karl softly, as if they had no care in the world.

It was such a small thing, but it made Karl feel special and loved and made his heart all warm and fuzzy.

He couldn't help himself, but smile, making it way harder to kiss Sapnap like this.

"Hey, take this seriously!", Sapnap complained jokingly, smiling himself now, that he saw that gorgeous smile he loved so much.

"I am!", Karl said, giggling.

In the meantime Nick looked at him, as if he was the entire universe, full of stars and galaxies.

He took Karls hands into his own and said: "You're incredible and gorgeous and adorable and everything I could have ever wished for. Karl, I love you."

Karls heart was trying not to explode and in his loss of words, he just quickly said: "You already said that."

Sapnap chuckled and replied: "And I'll say it again. I love you."

"I love you too, so much."
