Karl let out a shaky sob as he squeezed his eyes shut, trying to get his brain to shut up. "Shut up, shut up, shut up," he muttered quietly, gripping onto his hair as he began to rock back and forth.
-
Nick climbed out of bed after a moment, heading out into the hallway. “Honey? Where are you?”
-
Karl heard Nick's voice and looked over to the bathroom door, letting go of his hair. He slowly stood and walked over to the door, opening it and looking over at his boyfriend with tear-filled eyes.
-
“Oh, honey,” Nick said softly, padding over to Karl and wrapping his arms around him. “What’s wrong?”
-
"I don't know," Karl muttered shakily, hugging onto Nick and burying his face in his chest.
-
“Oh, baby,” Nick said softly, rubbing Karl’s back and swaying slightly. “Let’s go grab you a glass of water,” he said softly, leading the brunette into the kitchen.
-
Karl nodded, sniffling and following Nick into the kitchen. He exhaled shakily, leaning into him.
-
Nick held Karl as he grabbed a cup from one of the boxes, going to fill it up from the filter in the fridge. “So, you don’t know what’s goin on?” He said softly, handing him the glass of water. “Because I will listen for as long as you want to talk.”
-
"I think I'm just, spiraling again," Karl murmured, taking the cup. He took a sip of the water, sighing. "I just couldn't- couldn't stop thinking about the fight with my mom, and just- other really, really bad thoughts, and I- I couldn't sleep because I-I think I'm kind of h-homesick-" He squeezed his eyes shut, gripping onto the cup. "I wish my brain would just shut up..."
-
Nick nodded a little, taking the cup from Karl and replacing it with his hand. “Okay. I’m really sorry that happened, hun. Are you still getting those thoughts right now?”
-
"Yeah," Karl muttered, opening his eyes and looking down at their hands. "I- I thought I was doing better- I-I haven't been like this since I got out, a-and it's been almost two months, so-" He exhaled shakily, gently gripping Nick's hands. "So why d-do I still feel like s---..."
-
Nick nodded gently. “Well, you’re obviously homesick, and your mind doesn’t have the usual routine or even area to rely on, so it’s probably going bonkers, right?”
-
imsoclueless Senior"Yeah, it definitely is," Karl said with a quiet chuckle. "I-I'm not used to- to the place yet, so that- that may be a big part of it. A-And I miss my dad." He exhaled and leaned forward, resting his forehead against Nick's chest.
-
“Do you wanna call him?” Nick said, gently stroking Karl’s head. “I bet he’s up.”
-
imsoclueless SeniorKarl nodded, lifting his head. "Yeah, that- that might help," he said softly, a small smile on his face.
