Nervous as anything

Last time it had started as an accident when you told Emma that the KDK existed. You were very glad you did but that original moment of panic where you dropped your phone and changed her kink was starting to bubble back up now that you were planning to tell Sarah.

It almost felt fitting that you had locked yourself away in a bathroom just like the first time, chuckling to yourself at the coincidence. With part of your mind now distracted from the joke, you got up from where you sat on the edge of the bath and headed towards the door before you could spiral and start overthinking again.

Your legs did start to feel like jelly as you walked towards Sarah's room but you were able to soldier on and your nervousness started to go to the back of your mind when you reached Sarah’s door.

With a quick knock, you let yourself in before hearing a reply and saw Emma and Sarah sitting on the bed, chatting between themselves with Emma doing a lot of the talking from what you could tell.

“So yeah, nothing bad but… I just want you to be prepared as it’s a lot of information. I mean even I wasn’t too sure what to make of it when…” Emma continued, looking like she had also started to panic in your absence.

“You’ve said that about 3 times now. I get that you are trying to help but…” Sarah started to reply, nervously twiddling her thumbs as Emma was starting to worry her.

Both of them stopped as you fully entered the room and you sat down between the two of them so you could all face one another. Sarah gave you a light smile and Emma looked relieved that she didn’t have to stall anymore. The two of them being just as nervous as you before did alleviate some of your nerves, finding it easier to be the calm one in the situation.

You went to start talking but it felt like there were a million different ways you could broach the topic and even then you wanted different parts to be explained first that each needed their own contexts. Instead of dwelling though, you rushed ahead to make sure you didn’t suddenly just lock up.

“This will sound hard to believe at first but just bear with me. A few weeks ago, when I got my new phone, I found out that there was an app on it that doesn’t seem like it should exist. It’s called the KDK and it can do things that you wouldn’t think were possible.” you started to explain, getting your phone out of your pocket.

You checked the setting to make sure Sarah could actually see the KDK on your screen but then quickly went to your audio recordings, seeing the one Sarah had left for herself.

“I’ll go into the full details in a minute, but one of the things that got unlocked was a chance to tell people about the app and then if they wanted, we could make them forget the conversation. We did tell you about this at school during a lunch break but after you thought about it, you decided to forget until after tonight's party” You continued, seeing that Sarah was about to interrupt at the absurdity.

“... I know that doesn’t sound real, but at the time, you asked if you could record something for you to play back to yourself at a time like this” you added, holding out your phone with the recording ready to play.

Sarah stared at your phone outstretched in your hand and didn’t look like she was going to say anything or hit the play button for herself, letting you continue.

“I don’t know what’s on that recording as you went away to do it privately, but I think we had both hoped that it would make it easier for you to understand when I started to explain. I mean last time I went through everything that had happened chronologically right from when I got the phone but the recording has sort of messed that up so I am a bit all over the place” you admitted, smiling to yourself as this hadn’t been as easy for you compared to how you explained it last time.

You stopped at this point, waiting for Sarah to say or do anything in case you started to ramble. Emma gave you a slight nod as you looked in her direction and she looked relieved that you were the one telling Sarah and not her.

“I… I don't really understand what this app actually does yet but… Do you want me to listen to this on my own?” Sarah asked, pointing down to your phone.

“That’s up to you. You were the one to make the recording so it’s your decision. I won’t lie and say I’m not curious as to what’s in that audio but I’ll leave it up to you.” You said, trying to remain unbiased for the moment.

Sarah took your phone off of you and stared at it for a little while longer. You weren’t sure what was going through her head. Whether she believed you or not though, she seemed at least curious about what was on the phone.

She got up off the bed and started rummaging through one of her drawers to find something. It didn’t take long before she grabbed a pair of earphones, plugging them into your phone before she sat back down and spoke to the two of you.

“I’m gonna listen to it first and then I’ll let you listen after that” she replied, having made up her mind.

“Sure” you said in agreement, letting her make the decision.

You knew the recording wasn’t that long given that Sarah had only been away a few minutes at best but it still felt like an eternity as you watched Sarah hit play and listen to what she had left for herself.

At first she looked confused to actually hear her own voice playing back to her and you saw her stop the recording to put it back to the start, as if wanting to actually hear the words instead of just focusing on the fact that it had been her own voice.

You watched as her expressions changed. It went from concentration to her slightly smiling to herself, to her then giving you a look with what you thought was blush on her cheeks, not being able to confirm in the low light of the room.

She never seemed to look like what she was hearing was negative but she didn’t look in either your or Emma’s direction the entire time, focusing solely on what she was hearing.

She seemed to spend a little longer scrolling through the recording once it had finished, apparently wanting to re-listen to a specific part. When she had finished, she took the earphones out and handed you back your phone, looking at you in the Emma before doing the same to Emma.

“Okay. Tell me everything”
