irl!

shay has the volume all the way as sing on the top of their lungs. "YOU BETRAYED ME!!" yes, both of them were tragically off key. "AND I KNOW THAT YOULL NEVER FEEL SOOORRRYYY."

       shay was driving and karl was beside her in the passengers seat. "god damnit. frick joshua bassett!" he exclaims. "where are we even going?" he asks her. "he's hurting me." he refers to the dog on his lap who's feet of firmly on his thighs with his head freely out the window.

unfortunately, shay is still screaming out. "YOU TALKED TO HER, WHEN WE-" she cuts herself off wanting to listen. "what's up karl?"

"where are we going." he projects.

"it's a suprise," she quickly turns back to olivia rodrigos oh so beautiful voice.

。・：＊゜★，。・゜☆

she parks just a regular old parking lot. "let's go let's go!" she says sort of in a rush. "come on lumpers!" she activated her dog up three octaves voice. the dog knows.

karl quickly harnesses the dog and they step out of the car. "still very confused." but with the trust he smiles. "oh my god are you taking me to see the new demon slayer movie?!?"

"nope." she smiles, "wait there's a movie- nevermind."

karls the one that holds lumpy space prince's leash. his arm comfortably around his shoulders. they felt like those celebrities walking their dog who get bombarded with paparazzi.

they walk out of the garage to find a small modern city. "the warf!!" she squeals. "my favorite part of dc, and since it's you last day." she sings. "i thought i would take you here."

karl laughs. "this feels like an extremely shitty romcom when like one of them have a secret spot which them becomes like their spot," he places emphasis.

"perhaps." she smiles, "we could get ice cream there, and then just watch the sunset near the water."

"fu-" he slips out as the dog pulls his harshly because of the small remains of a treat on the floor, across the street. karl has no choice but to sprint with him.

       shay is left behind and flustered of what just happened mostly because the whole time she was laughing. "LUMPERS?!?"

      karl rolls his eyes, "what no are you okay? or good boy to me?!?! your honor this is rigged."

      shay finds the time to cross who where they are. "don't do that lumpers!" she says strictly. the girl shifts to look up to the boy, "good boy." she uses her hands the ruffle up the boys long fluffy hair.

      he smiles with his face burning. "thanks. thank you very much."

。・：＊゜★，。・゜☆

      after they get their ice cream, they find a bench near the view of the channel. shay ties the leaches tightly onto the bench arm. although they were on a bench, shay decided to sit with her legs criss crossed. karl sits next to her normally.

      the two eat their ice creams as they talk, "saved the best for last." shay sighs looking at the slowly setting sun which is off to the side, still tackling the fact that it is the last.

     "it's beautiful." he smiles at her.

     "i go here whenever i need a cool off, i've rarely gone here to just sit with other people not even jake." takes another spoonful.

     karl scoffs at an inter joke. "i guess your just not like other girls."

    shay laughs but immediately shoved him. "oh shut up,"

    karl liked her smile. he liked how he could make her smile.

     "i just-" karl debates in his head. "i'm so sorry i hate to bring this up, but yesterday with all the-" he's nervous, he bobs his knee up and down.

      she's the only who cuts him off, "yeah." she sighs. "it's hard," her voice already becomes raspy. "ya know." she sniffles using every singnle muscle she could to hold it in.

     he doesn't think, he pulls her in to sit with her head laying in his shoulder like a pillow, and his arm hugging around he. "i- i thought it did, but after yesterday i realized that i genuinely don't."

      the hug and feeling him comfort her in that moment broke her. the thought of his his felt. the thought of how it couldn't and wouldn't happen again. "i just- i just-" she gets out between sniffles. "i just want people to be happy" she admits, "and for people to like me." her fat ass dog jumps up to the bench and lays in her lap with empathy.

      karl didn't say anything mainly because he didn't know what to say, nor did he want to interrupt, so he just listened. "i just want people to be happy and to make people smile. people tell me to stop streaming i do then people are like you're not streaming enough."

     although they were at a busy boardwalk, it did genuinely feel like it was just them. and lumpers. they spend a couple minutes in silence.

     karl break said silence with a yawn. "i'm gonna miss you shay." he meant it with every bone on his body. "you too lumpy space." he meant it even more while he pets the dog.

     "ouch my guy!" she exclaims. "you foreal will miss my dog more than me?!" she knew it wasn't true.

    "what can i say, he's the cutest little baby." he heightens his voice an octave.

later that night, it was the last night he would be there. shay lies down as she scrolls on her twitter time line. you can assume was she was seeing.

"goodnight jakey!" karls voice rings from the outside the room as he walks in. "hi." he saw sweetly flopping onto bed beside her and rolling over to her. her eyes still glued to her phone. "hey." he said grasping her attentions.

she pushes out a smile, "hi."

"i'm just gonna." he takes the her phone, turns it off, and keeps it in his hand. "look." she smiles sorta, "you are amazing." he clears his throat preparing, "fuck them."

her eyes widen as she laughs. "karl jacobs!?" she takes a pillow and slams him in the face with it. "was that explicit language?!?!"

     he laughs and fights back with another pillow. "oh really, i'm a body builder my guy."

    the two are smiling while pummeling each other with pillows. "big bod." shay screams. their faces are bright red from laughter.

    "i'm not gonna let you beat me at this," karl says as he slaps her face hard with the pillow. unexpectedly, she flings into the floor. "holy f-" he rushes to her.

。・：＊゜★，。・゜☆

    cut to them in the kitchen area. shay has a packet of frozen peas on her cheek that hit the hard wood floor. karl is sitting on the counter space keeping her company. "you started it." he says briefly.

"didn't give you the right to try and kill me." she said aggressively then passes it off with a small laugh.

"i'm sorry." he sighs walks over and takes the cold packet from her. "damn, that's gonna be a little blue."

"you frickin idiot."

he jumps on head first, "hey." she's lightly tapping her bruised part. "i know this isn't the best time because i nearly broke your cheek bone." noticing the genuineness, she pays attention. "do you wanna like be my girlfriend?"

shay felt bad. he was fidgeting with his fingers. and his very slight stutter and hesitation. but despite her guilt she stiffens. "um," she clears her throat. "it's- it's getting late." she walks into her room and goes directly to bed.

"god fucking damnit karl!" he whispers to himself and awkwardly follows. "you freaking idiot." he repeats to himself and awkwardly slips into the bed.

shay is continusly scrolling through her time line. karl hated himself in the moment and so did she with herself. "good night." she slips out.

"yeah.. good night."
