The relationship between Sapnap and Quackity was becoming more difficult every day. They did nothing but fight and argue even on the smallest things.
It had been like this for two weeks now.

It had also been three weeks since Karl had disappeared into thin air without giving a single explanation. To say they were angry and worried was an understatement.

They had tried several times to look for him in those days. They had asked anyone they knew to help them,but despite their best efforts,Karl was completely gone.
And after the first week they had begun to lose hope of finding him again.

The lack of Karl within the walls of their daily life it began to be felt during the second week. They began to disagree more often than usual,to fight over useless things and not talk to each other for days,taking away the essential conversations for their survival. The tension that was being built between them was wearing them down slowly,dividing them more and more.

But they never stopped looking for him,they clung to that little hope of finding him and not giving up. For Karl's sake,their sake,their relationship,and their mental health.

The following week was even worse. They seemed like the stereotype of the divorced couple. Neither spoke to the other,they quarreled every hour of the day,insulted and blamed each other for Karl's disappearance.
And the searches began to dwindle,and the hope began to fall into the dark. And the idea that he might be dead started to make room in his brains. Which increased the stress and fights.

-Shut up Quackity! You are no one to tell me or not what to do-
Sapnap yelled at him,

-I'm your fucking fiancè Sapnap! I am someone! Beside,you can't just disappear from morning to evening to go and bet in bars!-
Quackity hissed at him.

-Bullshits! I go out to look for Karl!-
Sapnap defended himself.

-And you come back half drunk when you go looking for Karl? Do not make me laugh. I've already let enough go,but now that's enough-
Quackity replied.

-At least I don't spend all day out with my friends-
Sapnap accuse him.

-What the fuck do you mean by that?!-
Quackity yelled at him

-Oh,I don't know Lex. I'm not the one who spends whole days with Schlatt. Which is your ex too!-
Sapnap yelled at him,gesturing with her hands.

-So is this the problem? Sap! I told you that after our breakup Schlatt and I had decided to keep the friendships. I'm not cheating on you for god sake!-
Quackity explained and Sapnap looked at him skeptically.

This was one of the many quarrels they had,and it was also the one that came back most often between them. A suffocating situation had become.

The discussion was interrupted by Sapnap's phone ringing,and ignoring Quackity's protests,he answered the call.

-Hello? George?-
Sapnap answered,on the other hand, he could hear disjointed noises and George's breathing was very labored.

-Sapnap! Karl...he...we have found him. Fortunately he isn't injured....but....come and see...please...I don't know how to said this...-
George managed to say,between sighs and a few hints of sobbing. And that was enough to worry him a lot.

The drastic change in expression made Quackity curious and looked at him sideways.

-Alright...we are coming-
Then he ended the call and he returned his eyes to the figure in front of him.

-It's Karl-
A single name and it was all ears,looking at him hopefully.

-George said they found him and that he isn't hurt. But he tried to tell me more and I have no idea. He looked serious and on the verge of crying-
he explained briefly.

-What are we waiting for? Let's go!-
It took a nothing for both of them to leave their arguments away and drag themselves to the car and drive to George's apartment.

Karl is more important than anything they were discussing. Karl is always more important.

During their car trip,the tension became increasingly heavy and the nervousness was palpable,fortunately,however,neither of them said anything,too absolved in their thoughts.

For some odd reason the ride from their home to George's seemed oddly longer. Much longer.

And the only thing they could do was ignore each other. Not a very good situation in a couple,but always effective.

They arrived and I parked in front of George's apartment,which in recent times he shared with Dream,and Quackity scurried away as soon as he had the chance.

The duck hybrid he ran quickly to the door and knocked a couple of times,vigorously,waiting for George's vision to open for him.

Yes,he door opened,but not by Giorge,but by Dream.

-Hey Dream!-
-Quackity!-
They said giving each other a 5.

-So? Were are they?-
Quackity asked,noting both Karl and George disappeared.

-So...how I do this?...mhm...They are in the guest room,the one down the hall-
Dream replied nervously playing with his fingers avoiding his gaze.

-Ok? Are you good man?-
Quackity asked him questioningly.

There was a nervousness in the air that he didn't like at all. Karl wasn't hurt after all,why be so worried? What was going on?

-......I....I'm so sorry guys,really,I am so fucking sorry. I...and George...we tried. Really,we fucking tried,but...there is nothing that worked. I'm sorry-
And the blood stopped in Quackity's veins like ice.

-What you-what are you...what the fuck is going on?!-
Something serious had happened to Karl.

-See it with your own eyes-
And while Dream greeted Sapnap and showed him the way to the room,Quackity had already left for the door.

The scene he saw was quite unexpected. Karl was in the corner of the room,pointing a fucking banana at George,who was standing in front of the bedroom door with his hands up in surrender.

-What a fuck?!-
He looked both confused. Really so confused. Why the fuck was Karl pointing a banana at George? Why a banana?!

-Quackity,you have finally arrived-
George looked at him bored while he was still in that position.

-George? Why are you-Why Karl is pointing ad you with a banana?-
Sapnap asked,entering the room.

-We wanted to try and give him something to eat,so I brought him some fruit and some cereal...and don't ask how it happened,I have no fucking idea-
The brunette complained in exasperation.

-Why-Karl,love,put down the banana.We aren't criminals-
Quackity told him and noticed how Karl was shaking in the corner of the room,looking at them in a hostile way. And he raised a questioned eyebrow.

-Karl?-
Apparently he wasn't the only one who noticed.

-Shut up! I don't even know who you guys are or how the fuck you know my name!-
The room suddenly went cold.

-what?-
-Karl? You're joking right?-

No answer was given,if not hostile looks. Karl wasn't a person who joked about these things and he certainly wasn't going to start now. Something had changed in him,and not in better.

-Love?-
Sapnap tried to approach but stopped immediately.

-Shut up! Don't call me like that! I don't even fucking know you!-
Karl pointed the banana at Sapnap and yelled at him. Maybe from outside eyes it could be funny,to see someone use a banana to defend themselves,but to theirs it wasn't.

-what....karl...karl tell me you're joking.You can't be....This can't be...-
Was it always so hard to breathe? Was it always so difficult to see or try to stand and not fall to the ground? Quackity didn't know,but he felt crushed.

The walls were gradually getting smaller and getting closer and closer and his head was spinning. He couldn't see clearly and liquid was dripping from his eyes. Liquid dripping from his eyes...he was crying....

-Alex...-
He heard a voice calling him and a hand on your shoulder,which he immediately removed. Anxiety took over in his mind.

-Don't fucking touch me!-
He screamed at him and once his vision could return to normal,he noticed who it was.

Sapnap he was a very emotional person. He didn't like seeing the people he loved in that state at all. Quackity was in the midst of a near panic attack,while Karl....Karl didn't remember them. And it hurt him,so bad.

-Sap....I...I'm...-
He could see the confused and lost gaze of the lowest before he decided to run out of the room. Away from them,away from him. Followed by George trying to calm him down.

Sapnap swallowed the bile that was forming in his dry throat and turned to Karl,still hostile.

-Karl...do you remember who I am?-
He asked cautiously. The boy in front of him thought for a couple of seconds before looking at him and shaking his head negatively.

-Sorry,I don't remember ever seeing you in my entire life-
He said,lowering the banana slightly.

And both Sapnap and Dream remained silent,not understanding what to do.

-The only thing I know is that unknown people have literally kidnapped me and taken me to this place without even knowing why. And you're acting like you've known me for a lifetime,but I don't remember ever seeing you in my life-
And Sapnap could see his life and dreams being shattered slowly,with every word the brown said.

-Now....would you please take me home? I have a boyfriend who is expecting me and who will be very worried-
He continued pointing the banana at them again.
What? Boyfriend? Who?

-.....boyfriend?...-
Dream asked beside him, while Sapnap felt lost.
A boyfriend....his Karl have a boyfriend. Was he referring to one of them? Did he remember one of them? Was he or Quackity the one he remembered? He was alluding to one of them wasn't he?

-Yeah,and he will also be very worried not seeing me come back!-
karl replied.

-.....Who?!-
Sapnap asked.

-James for god sake!-
Karl answered.

-Who the fuck is James?-
Seriously,who the fuck is the one who in 2 weeks,approaches his boyfriend with memory loss and pretends to be his partner? Who the shit is James?!

-Hey,at least it's not Jared-
Dream tried to console him.

-Not now Dream!-
He yelled at him in anger.

-Hey guys,we're back-
George appeared with Quackity from the door, with the shorter of the two completely calmed down.

Quackity avoided his gaze and stared at the floor near his feet,Sapnap sighed heavily. They would think about fixing things later.

-Karl! You can't be serious! You can't just disappear for 2 weeks and come back saying you have a boyfriend! What will become of us?-
He tried to reason with him. This was just a bad twist of fate,a fucking horrible joke.

-What?!-
Quackity looked up at the two. What the fuck happened while he was gone?

-It is not clear to you that I do not know any of you! I don't know who you are,I don't even know how you know my name! You may have mistaken me for someone else,but I've certainly never seen you in my life....and we're certainly not in a relationship together. I'm with James,and I don't even know who you two are. Take me back to where you found me,I have to go home-

-So you....so you don't remember us? What have we experienced? What have we been through? Our first date? Our friendship? How did we meet or our first kiss?-
Quackity asked cautiously,each sentence as if it were a stab in his soul.

karl shook his head negatively.
Warm tears began to roll down the faces of the two raven-haired boys in the room.

The long-awaited realization that Karl would never return to them and that there was nothing they could do to get him back.
The fact that Karl had forgotten them in those 2 weeks,and God who knows what had happened to him in those two weeks,they didn't even know.
And the fact that a bastard convinced him that he was his boyfriend.

They had lost part of them that day,and despite their attempts,they never got it back. The memory of him,however,torments them until the end of their days.
If only things had turned out differently,they would never have gotten to the point of no return they had come in and they would not have broken up.

But life is never fair,it is selfish,it takes away the few joys you have had and puts you under a weight of negativity that leads you to madness and despair. And certainly theirs was not a fair life.
