Sirens & sea shanties || Karl x Sapnap

|| Four ||

Karl waited until after they had all eaten dinner to put his 'master plan' into action "Who wants to watch a mooooooooovieeeeeeee" he awkwardly suggested while doing finger guns "Uhhhh sure" Dream replied and flicked the tv on, casting his phone and scrolling through netflix "WOO!" Quackity cheered "Lets watch a romance film~" he wiggled his eyebrows and bit his lip 'seductively' and Karl facepalmed, Dream doubled over wheezing "Oi, whatcha laughing at booger boy" Quackity snapped

Dream just wheezed harder and started banging his fist on the couch's arm rest, Karl just hid his head in his hands to hide his laughter "B-booger boy?" Dream choked out "More like booger bitch" Karl quipped and Quackity clutched his chest, dramatically falling backwards "My angel swore at me!" Dream stopped wheezing but now he was just laying on the floor, seemingly deflated "Anyways, booger bitch boy, we wanna watch a movie" Quackity said smugly "Uh huh" Dream mumbled, face down on the floor, probably getting bits of carpet lint and hair on his face

"Get up" Karl demanded "NNNNNNOW!" Dream sat up and glared at him "This is MY fucking house" Karl shrank back "Can we just watch the movie pleeeeeeeeeeease" Quackity whined and FINALLY they chose a movie, settling down to watch it

When Karls two friends were invested in the movie, eyes glued to the screen as they sat on the edge of their seats, he got up and snuck away, grabbing his notebook before pulling on his custom shoes and a hoodie, creeping out the front door and quietly trekking down to the docks. Karl sat on the edge of the creaky platform, notebook sitting beside him as he dangled his feet just over the water when he saw a patch of smooth rocks, it looked like he would be able to sit on one because it wasn't a high tide

He grinned and picked up his leather bound notebook, walking along to the rocks, the water came halfway up one that was pretty flat so he settled down, oblivious to the scaled tail that arced out of the low waves and slipped back under, like a dolphin slicing through the water. He felt something prick him in the leg "Ouch" he muttered and picked up a small black... scale, it glinted in the moonlight as he held it up

"This is pretty" he spoke quietly, speaking to the sparkling stars that hovered up in the darkened sky but he heard something drift through the air, a tune, a melody of some sort and it was beautiful... like a songbird but he could faintly hear lyrics, the voice grew louder and drew him in, ensnaring his mind like a venus fly trap

"I've been watchin' you for some time, can't stop starin' at those ocean eyes"

He looked out over the sea, drawn to the soft singing, eyes stopping on a figure around 10ft away, floating in the water and staring him dead in the eyes "Burning cities and napalm skies, fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes, your ocean eyes"

Karl slipped his shoes off and slid down the rock, water up to his knees but getting slightly deeper with each stride he took, the figure seemed to smile, a mouth of teeth sharper than a razor blade was seemingly illuminated but didn't put him off, he just felt the urge to get closer, the water was up to his thighs now and the pull of the music grew stronger but suddenly, he felt someone tug on his hoodie and bring him back to reality "Wh- why am I in the water?" he asked, confused but his memories came back quickly and he looked over the moonlit water hurriedly yet nobody was there

The being had disappeared as quickly as it had come "Karl, you shouldn't be in the water alone, especially not at night" Dream said, gently urging him back to shore where Quackity looked at the pair, no, not at them but at the rippling water. A tail resembling that of a koi fish burst out of the water, spraying water towards them before vanishing with a satisfying gloop

Karl just grabbed his stuff and walked back to Dream's home, partly in shock and partly in surprise, he dried himself off with a towel and changed into shorts plus a soft hoodie, crawling into bed and drifting off almost immediately
