Dancing Through Time (KARL X READER!)

Chapter 20 ✨

*2 weeks later*

You woke up back in your bed at home and you sat up taking deep breaths. This was the third, fourth, fifth, (who's counting?)  time you had a dream like that. It was shaped like an egg, and it had snaking vines, similar to some red vines that seemed to appear across the smp. Was it the egg that Bad and Skeppy were talking about?

Whatever it was, It seemed to get progressively stronger every time you dreamt about it.

Not Good.

You rolled out of bed (cause who the fuck has the energy to jump out of bed like-)  and dragged yourself to your kitchen. Your hair was matted and un-brushed and you were still in the clothes you wore yesterday. With groggy blinking eyes you grabbed a piece of bread and began to make yourself your favourite breakfast sandwich. You turned around with the sandwich in your mouth and saw Karl sitting at your kitchen table.

Your heart did a small flip and tried to jump out of your rib cage. He was asleep with his head on the table, and obviously very tired at the bags under his eyes. He looked peaceful and innocent. Your jacket was on the chair behind him and his head was cradled in his crossed arms in front of him.

He'd come to visit you regularly, even more than Quackity, after the destruction of L'manburg. He'd drag you outside to walk or passively force you to visit him as a way to get your mind off the horrible events that occurred.

He must've brought you home,

That's pretty sweet

What-

The two voices woke up in your mind. They didn't seem to enter your mind when you were tired, or maybe they did but you never remembered as your tiredness seemed to filter out unimportant details. You couldn't help but feel that they had some sort of connection to the "Egg". They began to argue about some random nonsense as you tried to sneak back into your room to run a brush through your hair. Once you did and changed into a black sweater and black pants, your subconscious choosing them as if you were going to try and hide in the shadows today. The two voices in your head seemed to be neutral at the moment, so you let them spit insults at each other as you quietly walked towards the front door.

You'd decided that you were going to meet the egg today. You were a bit excited, nervous, but mostly wary. They way your gut flipped when you saw the building unsettled you. But curiosity kept your nerves together as you pulled on your boots.

"(Y/N)?" You turned at Karl's sleepy voice.

"Um... thanks for bringing me home the other night Karl." You said softly, walking over to him nervously. "Where are you heading?" Karl said getting up slowly in the chair, rubbing his eyes with the long sleeves of his colourful hoodie. "Nowhere all that important, go back to sleep Karl, you look like you need it."

"If it's nowhere important then can I come with you?" Karl said standing up from the chair. "A-are you sure you want to come? You look like you haven't slept for days."

"Yeah! If it's anywhere where you are, I wanna be there." He said innocently. You turned around just in time as you blushed.

damn, he's smooth

"Do you want any breakfast before we go?" You asked, keeping your face out of his view.

"Nah, let's just get going."

You were walking through the Dream smp with Karl. The day was sunny, and it seemed impossible that L'manburg had been blown up just a few weeks ago. Everyone had seemed to move on, everyone but you.
