Playing with fire Reader x Sapnap

chapter 38

"I am?" I say confused.

"[y/n] we've been over this. I'm starting to think you just pretend to be confused to boost your ego. You're the people person. Between you me and Eret, you're the only one who somehow manages to get everyone to like them." Dream states. I didn't know how to process what he was saying. Mainly the part where he said it was me Eret and Dream leading our side.

Come to think of it who even is a part of our side. I know Sapnap and George would fight with us. I don't think karl knows how to fight but I know he would support us. Quackity still had responsibilities in lmanburg.

"He's not wrong. Whenever I tell people I'm dating you, they almost always recognize your story and have a story about you or a compliment of some sort. You somehow manage to bring people together that I would have never thought. Like when George and I hung out with Tubbo and Ranboo. We only hung out with them because we wanted to be with you but we got along really well with them." Sapnap says. This was all new information to me.

"Is that the only reason you wanted me on your side?" I ask. Part of me wished Dream was being manipulative or something and lying to me. Because then I could write it off as just one of his tactics and not think about it. But he wasn't. Dream was serious and genuine in what he said.

"At first it was. I figured we needed your brain and charisma. When I wanted to train you I thought it would be useful for you to have some basic battlefield skills." Dream says.

"But he accidentally helped turn you into a whole ass warrior." Sapnap interrupts jokingly. I leaned into him. I was grateful he was there, whenever he's by my side I'm not near as stressed.

"Exactly. I figured you could draw people into helping our war efforts." Dream continued.

"I see. Hey, speaking of war, when are we giving schlatt that ultimatum?" I ask. I knew it was sometime within the next day or two.

"I don't know. [y/n] you're forgetting you can also talk with Eret about war plans. We actually probably need to meet sometime soon." Dream says. He was right. I had forgotten that we were a team. Kindof. Its just weird to think that I'm supposed to be part of the meetings when we discuss that kind of thing.

"That's true." I reply.

"[y/n]?" I hear karl say from the livingroom.

"Ew karl don't talk with food in your mouth." George says.

"Yea?" I say.

"Come here I need your opinion on something." Karl says giggling. Sapnap, Dream, and I walk over. Karl was painting Quackity's nails. "What do you think?" Karl asks.

"I'm mad that you're better at painting nails than I am." I say. Karl giggles.

"I think they look nice." Sapnap says. I don't know what was so funny about Sapnaps compliment but it sent Quackity, Karl, and George into a fit of laughter.

"No actually you should do mine next." I tell him. Karl nods and motions to the little bottles on the table.

"What color?" He asks.

"Um. . . light blue?" I say.

"Okay. Quackity move." Karl says before shoving him to the side.

"Oy! You're gonna smudge my nail polish." Quackity says in a fake accent. I laughed at the two's interaction and sat down where Karl wanted. Dream and Sapnap sat on the couch while karl painted my nails and the group chatted. Karl finished my nails. I wasn't wrong they looked better than when I did them myself.

"Do you like them?" Karl asks.

"Yeah they look sick! Thank you!" I answer. Karl smiled proudly. "Sapnap look!" I said before shoving my hand in sapnaps face.

"Hold still I can't see them." He responds.

"Wait let's compare," Quackity says.

I get up to go over to Quackity when sapnap opens his mouth. "Hey I haven't seen them yet!"

"I get to see them first." Quackity boasts. Quackity and I compare and laugh. Then I walk over to george.

"George look!" I say.

"They're blue? I like them." George says.

"Oh yea I forgot blue is one of the few colors you can see." I reply.

"Wait I still need to see!" Sapnap insists.

"Dream wanna see my nails?" I ask. At this point it was just to frustrate Sapnap. I don't think he even wanted to see them that bad it was just the fact that I was denying him that made him want to see them more. It was still funny so Dream went along with it.

"Yeah why not." Dream answers. The George, Karl, and Quackity laughed at me as I purposefully dodged sapnap to show Dream my nails. Sapnap groans and it made me laugh harder.

"Look." I tell Dream while holding out my hands.

"Hey c'mon." Sapnap whines.

"Wait your turn." I tell him. Dream purposefully takes his time to admire them. Sapnap groans and I turn around. I was about to call Karls name before sapnap picked me up. "HEY!" I shout through laughter.

"I'm not putting you down till I get to see them." Sapnap insists.

"Gogy help!" I scream. George laughs and stands up. Sapnap fake pushes him and George dramatically falls back onto the couch.

"I can't, he beat me!" George says.

"Put me down!" I try to say. Sapnap chuckled. He seems pretty proud of himself.

"Just give in [y/n]." Sapnap says.

"Ugh. Fine!" I finally accept defeat. He puts me down and I hold out my hand for him to see.

"Hm. They look cool, good job Karl." Sapnap says. I roll my eyes at him and go into the kitchen to get something to drink. The group carries on a conversation in the living room. I was filling my cup with water when Sapnap wrapped his arms around my waist. I leaned back into his chest then took a sip of my water. Sapnap leans forward and whispers "Those nails are pretty, but I think they'd look better being dug into my back while I drive you mad." I choked on my water. "Hey don't let your drink choke you." Sapnap whispers while taking the cup out of my hand and setting it down. "That's my job."

I swallow my drink and turn around. "NICK!" I yell. Sapnap bursts into laughter.

"If that asshole is bothering you, I can come take care of him." George yells.

"Yea we saw how well that worked when he picked me up." I yell back. I checked my watch. It was about 2. I forgot to bring Nikki a letter from Wilbur and I told her I'd bring it. "Hey, Sap, we actually should probably get going. Well actually you can stay if you want I need to leave." I say.

"Nah I'm coming with you." Sapnap responds. Sapnap and I told the group good bye and left. We walked to the bakery but there was a note on the door. Nikki was at the chessboard. Sapnap and I got to the chessboard (located right outside Lmanburg) when Fundy came rushing up to us.

"[y/n] Tubbo is in danger."
