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.

[She said yes. You'd think he'd asked her to fucking marry him or something with the way his arms tightened around her. Taking a deep breath and sighing, he pulled back a little, glancing off to the side.

He didn't know what to say now. That whole weight he'd been carrying around since the stupid rap battle was finally lifted from his shoulders and he felt...lighter. He let himself smile, a bit shyly at that.]

I shouldn't have let my fucking anger get in the way in the first place. I actually missed having you around, Harley.

Hehe--hehehehe! I--I missed having you around, too!

[It's too much for any person to take, not just a fourteen year old girl, but still being able to talk with a friend again was almost like rediscovering how much you really liked someone and wanted to be friends with them in the first place. It felt wonderful, even if tears were still streaming down her face and her books had long since been dropped to the floor to return the hug briefly.]

Y-you know, after the holidays I found out some really excellent news...John's my brother! We're twins...all I could think about was "I bet Karkat would have some clever comment about this." Like...like "I'm not fucking surprised" or something...

[He tilted his head a little at her news, glancing off to the side as he considered it. He remembered Egbert blabbering on about something to Strider on the other side of the dorm but be'd been too caught up in his own problems to bother listening in.]

No. No, I'm not really all that fucking surprised.
