Sirens & sea shanties || Karl x Sapnap

|| Eleven ||

Karl wouldn't admit it but he didn't really want to bring Sapnap back to the water, he liked the company and the comfortable atmosphere the siren radiated. If he could, he would happily spend the rest of his days with Sap but he knew he couldn't, sneaking down to the waters edge everyday just to spend an hour or so with him? It wouldn't be safe especially if he had to go at night

But I can't keep him here, I'm not kidnapping him... Kidnapping? Fishnapping? I don't know but I can't trap him, someone's bound to use this bathroom at some point, they won't use the other one exclusively

What am I going to do...

George swam around frantically as he called out for his friend "Sapnap? Sapnap where are you? THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" There was no response, George floated up to the surface and looked around for the ravenette

Unsuccessful, he dipped back down into the water, slipped his satchel over his shoulder and headed off towards the shore. He raised his head above the waves, scouting out a path where he could hide and shift, there weren't many people near the jagged rocks so he snuck over and hid behind one of the tall ones, opened his satchel and pulled out the loose pants, light blue shirt and soft brown boots before taking a deep breath and shifted his tail into legs, he could feel the scales sort of melt into skin, leaving no trace of his tail. George tugged on the clothes and slung the bag over his shoulder again as he made his way onto the sandy beach, up the stairway ramp and set off down the road

Karl heard the front door open and slam shut "KARL" was called up the stairs "Be quiet, I'll be right back" he whispered to Sap before hurrying down the stairs "Hello, hi, yes I'm here" Quackity and Dream glared at him "What?" he asked worriedly "Karl, you've ignored us all afternoon! What were you doing?" Dream said

"I went down to the beach, like Quackity said..?"

"Then why weren't you answering your fucking phone?" Quackity chimed in "We thought you had up and died out there" Karl shrugged "I must have it on silent" he pulled it out "Nevermind, It's just dead" Dream facepalmed "Whatever, just move, I need to use the bathroom" he started heading up the stairs and Karl panicked "No, no you don't"

"What the hell do you mean, that's not how it works Karl" Dream stepped away from him "Just use the downstairs bathroom, you're already down here" Karl added "I- alright" Dream replied slowly as he walked away, muttering under his breath

Quackity gave Karl a weird look and left to go sit in the lounge, scrolling through twitter as he went. Karl let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding and closed his eyes. That was close

He raced back up the stairs and into the bathroom, locking it behind, and sat down next to the bathtub "Are- are you asleep" he asked confusedly but got no response "What the hell?" he said to himself "How did he fall asleep in like, 5 minutes" Karl leaned against the bathroom door, occasionally glancing at the siren resting on the bottom of the tub. Sap had his tail lying over the edge of the bath, it flicked every now and again, spraying Karl with little droplets of water

Karl quietly stood up and exited the room, softly clicking the door shut and making his way back to his bedroom where he plugged in his phone before laying on his bed and promptly falling asleep
