Chapter Text
You take your first steps into his room and you can already tell he isn't the sort of kid you would have thought him to be. His room is almost spotless, everything had a place, completely organized and almost sparkling clean. Maybe Kankri made him clean it before his get together, he seemed like that kind of person if you were to be honest.
When looking at the walls, you could hardly even see them. They were covered with posters of all sorts of movies. You see Titanic, Crazy Stupid Love, When in Rome, Failure to Launch, and a bunch of other romantic comedies. Your heart beats a little faster, you two already have something in common, what luck!
"I love your taste in mewvies!" You blurt, a tad bit embarrassed once it slipped.
"Thanks. No one really appreciate quality movies anymore." You giggle, and nod. "Yeah, romcoms are clearly the best genre the film industry has even made. Everything else is completely pawful when looking at the cheesy relationship and scenarios the genre has brought us." You says this as sarcastically as you can without going overboard, and he seems to be pleased. "The other genres cower in fear as romantic comedies take over the industry, leaving everything from stupid child cartoons to porn in the dust. The world weeps for their loss of their beloved films as the romcom lovers rise."
You laugh and add "The world is in ruins." to the end. He gives you a small smile, which makes your trip here completely worth it. You wish you could pinpoint exactly what you liked about him, but you hardly even know him and all he's done so far is made you laugh and save you from another Ampora attack. Well for now you can just add funny to the list of things you like about him. You also add good looking, because that was pretty obvious.
You wish you had more time with him, but it seemed like time had other plans. The two of you were talking the Titanic and Crazy, Stupid, Love for god knows how when you heard a knock at the door. "Come in." Karkat said and Kankri opened the door.
"Oh there you are!" You heard your sister say, and your hear sunk. You would never hear the end of this. She would tell you how cute you looked with Karkat, or how you two were now her OTP. You understood that she liked to ship her friends but sisters should definitely be off limits, or at least not spoken about. You knew the end was near when you saw that smile on her face.
"Sorry to tear you two apawrt but we have to go befur mom gets worried." She waved over at Karkat, who awkwardly waved back. You began to blush, you would have to say sorry to him the next time you saw him, or talked to him.
"Do you happen to have a chumhandle?" You ask him, hoping you weren't asking for too much. He nods and grabs a piece of paper and pen, and then scribbles something down on it. "Here, talk to me whenever." You smile, and attempt to not make it too goofy looking. "Sure, I'll talk to tomorrow! See ya later Karkat!" You get up off your seat and leave with your sister.
When the two of you, you can feel the giddiness vibrating off of Meulin. You look up at her, afraid to ask why she's so happy. You don't have to ask though, because she tells you otherwise.
"You two are so cute! I heard you guys talking about movies, I didn't think you would have anyfang in common, but I guess I was wrong! I'm so happy, I can't believe you got his chumhandle! Kankri didn't think that you would be in his room, since he's usually really crabby, but I knew it! Kankri was so suppurrised, but that's what he gets fur no believing me!"
You blink and rub the back of your neck. He did seem like he was pretty crabby at the beginning, but he was actually pretty nice. Maybe it was because you paid him a lot of compliments and talked about things he liked. You were glad that the two of you were at least acquaintances, you would be sure the pester him tomorrow.
When you get home you get onto Pesterchum and hear what happened in tonights roleplay session from Terezi. She says that they didn't want to continue the plot without you, and that Tavros was also gone for the most part too, so Aradia, her and Vriska had set up their animalsona's and roleplayed something a little too violent for her taste. She states that Vriska and Aradia were extra violent, which shocks you a little. Of course Vriska was usually a little more violent with certain roleplays, but you didn't expect Aradia to get too violent. Terezi states that Vriska had started it by cheating in the roleplay, in which Aradia's ram and Vriska's spider began to get into a very gruesome battle as she left with the treasure.

While Terezi was busy with that, you decided that you would take a shower. You were gone maybe fifteen minutes and you came back to a shit load of messages. You sat down on your chair and readied yourself for the replies.
GC: TH3Y S4Y 1TS COOL BUT

You didn't realize you were invited to the memo and so you did just what Terezi told you to do. It looked like any normal memo, they all agreed that they would do the thing that was planned, but then something happened. You always knew that Vriska and Aradia weren't very fond of one another, but you didn't expect them to start an argument in a memo. They seemed to be talking about the roleplay they did, the fight was still going on too, you decided you should probably break these two up.
AA: vriska you know that i would never cheat
AG: Oh really now?
AA: obviously

You check for anymore messages that you may have missed but it seems like no one else wanted to pester you. You said goodbye to Terezi and then went offline. Walking into the living room, you saw Meulin fell asleep watching some sort of anime. You turn off the TV and tell her she needs to sleep in her room now. She whines and you mimic her, and then she leaves.
You fix yourself a cup of hot tea, not caring how hot it may be outside. Hot tea is always a good thing, and you refuse to think any other way. You grab your cat mug and head back to your room, turning off all the lights as you go. Your parents won't be back tonight since they went on a hunting trip. You're a little upset that they didn't take you, but you think you can forgive them after what happened tonight. You turn on the television in your room and snuggle up on your bed. You find an old episode of Spongebob to watch and spend a good two hours watching Nickelodeon. You felt yourself slipping away when you began watching an episode of Regular Show, and you finally fell asleep once it was over.
