night meats. you agree. reblog
The morning of the wedding, Karl is the first one up, perhaps for the first time in his life. He’s sitting up on the bed humming a Taylor Swift song and scrolling through his phone when Sapnap’s alarm goes off. Sapnap hasn’t even had the time to click his alarm off properly before Karl is eagerly throwing himself on Sapnap’s chest and kissing him all over his face at once.
“Hi baby,” Sapnap grins sleepily, voice still rough from sleep as he tips his chin up to smooch Karl’s cheek. “Good morning.”
Karl grins back, practically bouncing up and down in place. “Good mooorning Sapnap! Sappy! Pandas! Baby! Darling, sunshine, my stars, my sun, my sky, my soulmate, love of my life!”
Sapnap hums happily, slowly easing himself up to sit leaning into the pillows, dropping a kiss on top of Karl’s curls on the way up.
Karl gives an exaggeratedly sad look up at him, wailing. “Baby? Baby? Whyever did you leave me, Sapnap, I’m all alone now, I’m cold and alone on the morn of my own wedding. Tragedy and Woe!”
“You stink.” Sapnap teases, bending down to kiss the tip of Karl’s nose, pretending to pull back waving his hand in front of his nose at Karl’s breath.
“You haven’t brushed your teeth yet, by chance, have you?” Sapnap says, laughing quietly.
“Not yet…” Karl says brightly, drawing out the word as he lets his head fall into Sapnap’s lap to look up at him with big, laughing eyes. “Why?”
He’s giggling impishly to himself, curls falling across his forehead and into his eyes in soft, sleepy tangles, and the sun is falling through a gap in the curtains onto in a bright ribbon across his cheek, turning his freckles and hair a warm gold.
Sapnap can’t wait to marry him.
And he can’t wait to marry Quackity too, who’s probably still asleep in his room however many doors down. Their room feels empty without him, a little bit, an empty slot where he’s normally curled up into Sapnap’s left side, playing with Karl’s hair and laughing quietly as the two of them go back and forth.
“I miss Quackity,” Sapnap says to himself, a little wistful, already imagining the wedding as he talks.
“We should get him a present,” Karl proposes, swinging himself up and into his ready prepared bunny slippers at the side of the bed.
Sapnap blinks at him with a fond sleepiness, not quite awake yet and otherwise too caught up in the thrill of marrying the two of them, today, to do anything but smile stupidly wide as he watches Karl jump around the room looking for his second slipper like an overjoyed puppy.
“Besides me, I mean,” Karl elaborates as he emerges from under the nightstand, bunny slipper in hand and miraculously only a little dusty. “Since he’s been away from us for so long and is probably wasting away from loneliness right now. We gotta make it up to him
“Like what?” Sapnap asks, following Karl out of bed and grabbing his own bathrobe and the hanger with his suit on it so he can shower before they head over to the church.
Karl screws up his face in thought for a second, then shrugs. “I’ll think on it. In the ol’ noggin, y’know?” Karl taps his finger to his temple solemnly.
Sapnap nods along with a laugh, letting himself into the shower.

Sapnap smiles as he slips his suit coat on, listening to Karl move around in the hotel room, chattering along to a Jeopardy! rerun and making tea in the tiny little microwave. Sapnap’s pretty sure he was singing, a second ago, while the shower was still running, and Karl thought he wouldn’t hear it.
A few minutes later, though, the tv turns off, and he’s greeted by an excited knock on the door and Karl’s head and a little waving hand pokes through the crack.
“Knock!” Karl says cheerily, swinging the door wider to let himself in when Sapnap waves back at him. “I’m keeping you company now.”
“Aren’t you not supposed to look at me until the wedding?” Sapnap teases, rummaging around for a comb.
“You’re pretty,” Karl says earnestly, smiling at Sapnap beseechingly.
Sapnap feels his cheeks go pink, dipping his chin and pretending to ignore Karl to hide his little smile.
He’s doing his hair, special and formal and even without his bandana, to make his wedding extra special and formal. (Quackity insisted, and one thing about Sapnap is that he would do anything at all to see Quackity’s smile, even after three years.)
“Sapnap.” Karl announces, swinging himself up onto the bathroom counter. “I have an idea.”
“Yo? That’s awesome dude,” Sapnap says, distracted, words a little distorted from his thoughtfully sticking out tip of his tongue as he runs a fine-tooth comb across the top of his head to properly part his damp hair.
“Listen Sapnap, listen, this idea, its huge, okay?”
Sapnap hums in assent. “Since you’re here, you can help me out dude, here. What do you think? Should I leave my hair down, like this? Or do I pull it back into a little ponytail, like this?” Sapnap asks the reflection of the back of Karl’s head in the mirror, demonstrating as he talks.
“Look Sapnap, listen, listen, listen, pay attention. I have a big idea, an important and highly relevant idea!”
“Okay,” Sapnap says, turning to look properly towards Karl, letting his hair fall back down across his cheeks as he drops his hands.
Karl smiles devilishly. “I’ve got a plan Sapnap, a big plan. A huge one.”
Sapnap waits, bemused.
“Ask me what my plan is, Sapnap,” Karl sighs dramatically.
“What’s your plan, Karl?”
Throwing his arms wide, Karl leans closer, in a move that is not quite as effective at hiding his almost-topple as Sapnap thinks it was supposed to be. “Okay, hear me out. Before the reception, right? While everyone’s all milling around, I sneak in, through the jaws of death! And then I collect us a nice plate of all the most delectable meats there and sneak it out to your car and take them back here. Then! Later! We can have Night Meats!” Karl lowers his voice to a dramatic whisper as he talks, eyes going wide. “But I need your help.”
Sapnap is enthralled, to say the least. Night meats! Sometimes he thinks Karl is the cleverest man he’s ever met. “Anything, baby.”
Karl giggles for a second, then becomes deadly serious once again. “I need you to help me distract them. Who knows what’ll happen to me if I get caught?”
Sapnap nods solemnly. Maybe it’s just because it’s his wedding day, and he’s been waiting for today for so very long, and maybe he just loves them so much either way, but either way he thinks he starts tearing up from the sheer romance of it. “You would do that baby? For me? For us?”
“Of course,” Karl grins with a self-assured hair flip. “This is our wedding day; I’ve got to up the romance!”
Sapnap tears up yet again, tips of his ears a little red as he fumbles with his hair and stares up a little lovestruck at his soon to be husband(!) still perched on the bathroom counter.
“And leave your hair down,” Karl says, brushing said hair behind Sapnap’s ear as he jumps down from the counter, leaning down and dropping a wet kiss on Sapnap’s cheek. “Its cute like that.”
Sapnap watches him go, chest full of a warm feeling. This is going to be the best day of their lives. He knows it already.
