I groan as I look at all the edits. They basically all show the same thing, which is terrible. It starts with Karl asking the question, then both Sapnap and Quackity showing a smug face to say they have kissed me. Then all the videos end with a bang as they show my face of panic.

I haven't talked to Nick or Alex about the situation. Neither of them know that I kissed the other. I wonder if it could go away if I had disappeared when they all woke up.

My plan backfires as Nick enters Karl's kitchen.

"Heyy," he says softly, "I'm really sorry. I didnt think the fans would catch the face, which is stupid, and I thought that, even if they did, they would think it was a joke." He takes a deep breath. "And obviously they don't."

I sigh. "No I'm sorry, I should've told you."

"Told me what?"

He doesn't know about the kiss with Alex? Is he an idiot? My stomach pinches. I don't want to tell him and ruin my friendship, so I try to see what he knows.

"Well, you weren't the only one who made a smug face..." I try to explain.

"Well, I mean, we all knew you had kissed before."

My heart stops. "What?"

"From the stream? When you guys accidentally kissed that one time, and then you kissed him on the cheek?"

A rush of relief waves over me then guilt. I have to tell him at some point. But for now I'm just going to go with it. "Ohhh yeah, yeah."

He comes a little closer to me. His hand is on the counter, close to my waist. "I mean, now the word is basically out about our kiss. Maybe you would be okay with going on a date?"

My jaw drops a little when he says that. That's going a little too fast for my comfort. I don't know my feelings, and Nick doesn't even know the full truth yet.

"Uh," I take a step back to where I could see there's a figure in the doorway.

My heart stops. There's another reason that I have to say no to him.

There in the kitchen is Alex. He heard what we had said. He knows.

"What?" he sounds mad, "What did he just say?"

He's asking me, not Nick.

"Look, I can explain," I move a step closer to him.

He immediately backs away. "That face... it's true? I can't believe this." he says softly again.

He looks to me for a response. My face blazes with heat. I nod once slowly.

"You fucking... You kissed him?" He slams his hand on the kitchen counter. "YOU FUCKING KISSED HIM? WHEN? WAS IT BEFORE OR AFTER I KISSED YOU?"

My heart drops. Did Nick put two and two together that Alex and I have another kiss he doesn't know about?

"Before..." I look at the floor. Nick has gotten as close to the cabinets as humanly possible in hopes to disappear. I think I hear some stirring that suggests that Karl has woken up.

I look up at Alex's face as he processes this information. I can tell he's thinking of the timeline in which he kissed me.

"No." He backs away. "No you didn't. You promised nothing happened that night. You got all mad at me for acting out, when it was true all along. God, I can't believe you, y/n."

I crinkle my eyebrow, trying to figure out what it means. No. No is right indeed. He thinks we kissed when Nick slept in my room.

"No you got it all wrong, Alex." I step closer again, but he backs up to the doorway.

"If not that night, then it was that day. Which makes it TEN  times worse, okay?" He pauses to leave before he turns around again. 

"YOU MADE ME FEEL CRAZY. YOU MADE ME THINK I TURNED INTO A CRAZY, JEALOUS ROOMMATE." His voice gets louder with every word. "AND YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES IT WORSE? I THEN KISSED YOU, AND YOU KISSED ME BACK. YOU MADE ME THINK I WASN'T CRAZY, AND THAT YOU FELT THE SAME WAY. WELL, APPARENTLY, YOU FELT THE SAME WAY ABOUT EVERYBODY."

Karl walks into the kitchen. "What happened?"

"Did you kiss him, too, y/n?" Alex shoves his thumb towards Karl, who looks very confused.

"Have you, uh, checked Twitter?" Nick asks Karl.

I sigh and go to repeatedly bang my head on the fridge.

"Not yet, I just woke up." He goes on his phone to check.

Why am I an idiot? Why couldnt I have been honest with them? Why am I so greedy?

"Oh no," Karl says under his breath. He puts his phone on the counter.

"Damn right, oh no," Alex rubs his temples. He groans once before smacking the counter.

Alex turns to leave the kitchen, calling over his shoulder, "We're leaving. Grab all your stuff and fucking feelings and get out of here!"

I wince at the tone he used with me. He's never been this angry with me. My head is still resting on the fridge.

I've affected everybody now. It was Karl's stream, so people will bother him about the situation. Alex now hates me because he found out that I kissed Nick in the worst way possible. And Nick... Oh Nick.

"Nick," I picked my head up from the fridge, "I am so sorry. I really didn't mean for this to happen. It all happened so fast, and I didnt know how to tell Alex. Then Alex and I kissed, so then I didn't know how to tell you." I say it all in one breath. "This is all a mess and it is all my fault."

He's quiet for a very long time. Karl rubs his eyes. Poor guy hasn't even been awake for fifteen minutes.

Finally, Nick sighs. "Were you... Were you ever going to tell us?"

I bite my lip. In all honesty, I was hoping that one of them would forget and let me be with the other. But I don't think that is going to happen now.

I think back to all the times I wanted to tell them. All the times I wanted to be relieved of the stress. I was an idiot. Now they know and I'm even more stressed now.

"I had my intentions to," was all I could manage to get out.

"Alright," Nick says as he walks through the door.

"Karl," I choke back tears, "I messed up big time."

"Uh, yeah you did." He looks to see my hurt expression. "It's going to be alright."

He comes across the kitchen to give me a hug. I bury my face into his chest.

"All I wanted," I'm sobbing now, "was time to think about my feelings, but, while I was doing that, I lost both of them."

"What's meant to be, will be," He strokes me back softly.

We're quiet for a few moments.

"But now?" He moves my body so I am forced to look at him. "Now you have to deal with some consequences."

I swallow once and nod. This is my mess.
