"What kind of faggot paints his nails!" Mark shouted at Karl as we sat in the cafeteria and I painted his nails black. "It's disturbing honestly." Someone added, Karl looked at me with a small grin, "You like it don't you?" I nodded, "I love it. It's kind of hot.." I mumbled, Karl's eyes widened and he laughed, "Woah, calm down Ri."
I chuckled too, "Sorry. You going to paint mine now?" I asked him, he nodded as he picked up the nail polish and began brushing it on my nails carefully.

"Karl..?" I shouted as I entered our house, Grey ran up to me and rubbed up against my legs. "Hi baby." I patted Grey softly. "Ri!" Karl shouted from upstairs, before I heard him running down the stairs, and before I looked up I felt myself get winded onto the couch. "Oh god.." I laughed as Karl lifted his head from me, he grinned down at me, "Hi!!"
I chuckled at him, "Hi.."
"Do you want to stream with me? We can paint our nails! On my alt of course." Karl suddenly asked, I swallowed harshly and shrugged, "Sure. Of course."
"Great! What colour do you want to do..?" Karl got off of me and began walking to the bathroom, where we kept the nail polish. "I dunno, I was thinking black, how about you?" I asked as I sat up from the couch, following him. I watched him as he pulled out the nail polish, "Green and blue?" Karl raised an eyebrow, "Dnf?" I chuckled, Karl's eyes widened, "Oh well now I must!" He picked up green and blue, and handed me black. "So how did it go?" Karl asked as he walked out of the bathroom, I followed him up the stairs, Grey followed us too.
"It went okay..I just wanna forget about it.." I told Karl, he opened up his bedroom door and turned to me, "You're okay right?" He asked me, I nodded, "More than okay..don't worry.."
"Hug?" Karl smiled widely like a happy puppy, I nodded and he pulled me into his arms tightly.
"Okay time to stream!" Karl pulled away rushing to his set up. He placed the nail polish carefully on his desk and I pulled up a chair beside him.
He began his stream and tweeted about it. Chat was already blowing up, I was hoping Karl didn't have his tts donations on. "Hey chat! Riley and I decided we're going to paint our nails tonight..and we thought you might want to chat with us while we do.." Karl turned to me with a small grin and I gave him one back.
"Do you want to paint mine?" Karl asked me suddenly and I nodded, "Yes!" I picked up his green nail polish and slowly opened it.
"Guys, this is for George and dream okay? Ship!" Karl smiled towards his camera and I chuckled.
"Karl have you seen that tweet yet..?" A tts shouted, I slowly looked down at Karl's nails, and painted one green. "What Tweet?" Karl eyed the chat carefully,
"Probably something funny.." I said and Karl turned to me, "Well i'll probably see it later.."
"Only gay boys paint their nails. Karl is dating Riley a stunt, to keep your sexuality hidden?" Karl's eyes turned to the screen now, "What the honk.."
I painted every second nail green, so it could be blue green, blue green, but I stopped myself, staring at Karl's face, it dropped drastically.
"Petition to get Karl off mr beast?" Karl swallowed hard and I turned to the screen now,
"Should we get off?" I mumbled, Karl shook his head, "No..I don't care what they say..keep painting my nails Ri." I looked down at his nails again, finishing up the green.
"Guys, let's ignore the hate, Riley and I should take another road trip, I was thinking we head to New York city this time.." Karl spoke,
"I could die for another road trip. We had so much fun with the last one.." I smiled as I picked up the blue nail polish.
"Try the nyc pizza!" Karl smiled to me.
"Karl I love you, I don't know why they're being so mean!" Karl smiled, "I love you too!"
"Riley's a whore!" Karl's eyes widened and so did mine, "Woah, what the heck, guys, don't talk about her like that..she definitely is not that.."
"Yeah..seriously.." I felt my own face drop..
"She fucked Jimmy and then karl! Karls a fag, Riley, you missed a great opportunity."
"Woah! Seriously! I will not sit here and take this, Riley's my girlfriend, you guys can talk as badly as you want to me, but not her. She's an amazing girl, and what happened between her and us is none of your business, only ours. If this continues im ending my stream." Karl sighed heavily and looked over at me, I continued to do his nails, pretending that this wasn't affecting me at all. I couldn't let it, I know what happened none of these people did..they were just trolls. I just didn't want them hurting Karl.
"Karl is a f a g g o t. End your stream bitch boy, No one wants to watch you paint your nails."
Karl's jaw dropped and he immediately shut off the stream. I looked up at him, not knowing how to react. I knew I should've tried to direct him away from the internet for tonight.
"Let's...pause on the nail polish..are you okay?" I asked Karl with a mumble, "Yea, are you?"
I nodded softly and Karl's eyes seemed sad,
"Do you want to go get some slurpees..?" I watched him carefully and he shook his head,
"Maybe we should just go to sleep.." Karl stood up, making his way over to his bed, he pet Grey carefully and I stood up, joining him.
"Karl don't listen to them.." I told him,
"You did great things for Jimmy's channel, and I love your nail polish.." I comforted him, Karl shrugged, "I know, still hurts to hear.."
