WHO: Karkat Vantas and YOU
TONE: light
RATING: PG-13 (for Karkat's mouth mainly)
WHEN: backdated slightly to April 22nd
WHERE: the library
WHAT: Karkat's doing homework and you're invited to bother him
STATUS: ongoing



Eighteen inches for Charms and twelve inches for Care of Magical Creatures. Who the hell set these ridiculous amounts of homework? Oh right, the teachers. If there was one thing about the school that Karkat abhorred more than maybe the lake or how long it took to get to class, it was the homework. Who the hell wrote in inches anyway? He couldn't count on his aunt to give him a good grade in Care just because they were related either which was disappointing but he guessed that was how things went anyway.

He'd been sitting there since after lunch, and he stretched, placing his head on his arms with a huff. This was ridiculous.

"Wh- Karkat!" he said, as he realized what Karkat was thinking. No, no, no, he didn't need presents or anything. He didn't really deserve presents! Especially not when he'd been such a bad friend to Karkat. "I- you, you don't have to get me anything!" he said in a hurry, shaking his head. "Really, it's okay! I, don't need or, deserve anything!"

Tavros folded his arms too, letting out a sigh. "Karkat..." he murmured quietly. He wanted to tell him no, not to get him anything. Because he didn't need anything! All he needed was Karkat's friendship! Heck, he didn't even deserve that. "I..." he murmured, trying to find the best words to use to convey how adamantly he did not want anything.

But he knew Karkat wouldn't listen. Karkat never listened, when he had his mind set on something. Finally Tavros just let out a huff, and stuck his tongue out rebelliously.

[Alright screw it. Cyrus had been pandering about in the library for about two hours now, trying to collect some books that he wanted to copy material out of for his lesson plan for the next few weeks. And he'd passed Karkat at his table nearly a dozen times and he finally caved. Cyrus approached the kid, pulled out a chair, set down his books and sat right down at the table.]

What do you need help with?

"Aahck!" Tavros let out, try tug his tongue back in, but Karkat's grip was a little too tight and he couldn't pull free. "Kahkatlemmego!" Despite himself, he couldn't help but laugh, though, because this was just so... silly. And he didn't want to be the only one at a disadvantage, so he reached out and took Karkat's nose and held onto it firmly. It wasn't quite the same, but it still felt like a victory to Tavros.

[He has to fight off the need to smile a little bit. He knew charms. It was what he was raised on, and he could help Karkat with absolutely no problem.]

I could easily help you out with your charms work. It's really very simple work, Karkat. Why not start out by telling me a situation in which you might need a defensive charm. [He actually smiles, a polite, warm chuckle coming out from the man.]

Say, for instance if someone you aren't interested in is flirting with you.

Tavros's eyes narrowed slightly, but it was only in a mock attempt at being annoyed and crafty. "Eyoo thtarted ith!" he managed to get out, with a lot of difficulty. "Tho I think that eyoo thould lemme go firtht"

She moved around the table to take an open spot across from him. Carefully she tugged his open Charms book towards her to flip through a few pages while keeping her index finger on the original page. "Professor Matteris, she is... difficult to handle. Not pleasant at all."

Vriska cast him a glance before smirking. "How much do you finish so far?"

Tavros gasped as Karkat fell, and his tongue shot out from between Karkat's fingers and back into his mouth as he jerked from the surprise. His whole body tensed up, because. Faaaces were not meant to go there. But at the same time, he couldn't help but start giggling madly. "Ahaha...K-Karkat, are you alright?" he asked, looking down at Karkat with an amused yet embarrassed look.

His own laughter at the situation made it easy for him to forget just where Karkat's face had landed, and he giggled even more at Karkat's pouty expression. "Haha...good, I'm glad you weren't hurt." He looked into Karkat's face, and as he noticed how red he looked, it made Tavros's giggles subside and he suddenly felt a little awkward again, as his palms turned sweaty, and his stomach did a weird flipflopping thing.

"...I, uh, really do like your hair," he said in an effort to get his mind off the butterflies in his stomach, and he reached out to touch Karkat's hair again, stroking it softly. Somehow it didn't help the butterflies- what was up with them? Geez.

She laughed at that, shoulders shaking a little as she did so. "No... hit back? He deserve it, of course. Zahhak is brat. If it was me I would hit him back, you know?" Her relationship with the Ravenclaw was something she found hard to describe. She certainly wouldn't call him her friend, but they weren't exactly enemies either. She just found him a little too strange for her.

"What do you mean?" The question was unexpectedly straight-forward for Gamzee. His fingers ached to reach out, brush through that bizarre red hair (had there been a Charms accident?), but he kept them busy gathering up books. He didn't think he could stand it if Karkat jerked away. Normally he didn't give a shit, but not now. He couldn't handle it right now.

"You figured your shit out?" Gamzee asked, his eyes still wary. He wanted to trust, and damned if it didn't feel good to hear Karkat had missed him, but he wanted to be sure, too. It had hurt, badly, when his best friend didn't even come to him when he was confused and upset himself, and that made him more cautious than he'd normally be.

Gamzee looked down at the books he held loosely in one hand, hiding his face again, as he said softly, "I'm sorry if I was up and making things all hard on you. I promise I won't do that shit no more."
