A/N: This story is inspired by the video "Next, in a Foreign Land". It's a Karezi fanfiction, and the video was voice acting of a Fanfic. They played the song "I and Love and You" at the end of the video and I felt compelled to write someone based off of the song. And thus, this was born. This will be continued, I'm writing the next chapter right now. It's an AU, and it's based around the song. This will be reletively short, I only plan on it having 9 chapters, each won't be longer than 2,000 words. I kept trying to update TMLOB, but the chapter kept getting deleted so I'm writing this to vent in a way. (I also go dumped recently so that doesn't help.)

Anyways, I hope that you enjoy this. I plan on finishing this fanfiction as soon as possible, maybe even tonight to finish it. Also, as a note to followers of my other fanfics, they are all lacking cover photos! If you have suggestions for something you think would fit (Or if you're a perfect enough human being, and had something of your own) feel free to message me a link! I'd love to use it and full credit would be given in the description of the fic. :3 Anyways, I shall shush and let you read this.

Load the car and write the note

"Karkat... Look, I'm sorry, okay? I just.. I have to go. Don't try to find me, I'm trying to make it easier this way. We aren't working, okay? I love you, but we just aren't working.. I'm sorry, Karkat, but there's just someone else now. Damn, I sound like someone from one of your RomComs.. Well, I love you. I'm sorry. -Terezi xo"

A small post-it note was taped to the front of the fridge, smothered in writing just as sharp-edged as the tongue of the writer. He would be here soon, and she needed to get ready. She needed to leave before he caught her packing, caught her getting ready to leave for good. With a frown, head lowered, Terezi trudged her way to the small, shared bedroom.

A suitcase had been laid out on the bed before-hand, already opened and half filled with clothing. It was done in a sloppy, rushed manner, she knows that Karkat comes home from work early some days. That couldn't happen today though, that would break both of them even more. In a regretful way, Terezi started to pull articles of clothing out of the closet and dresser, nabbing anything she especially liked, leaving the rest for Karkat to do away with. She hoped he would burn them, rid himself of the memory of her.. Forget her, like she knew she would forget him.

"Goddammit Terezi, don't start crying.." She scolded herself, closing her eyes and shaking her head. She had to be strong with this, she knew how Karkat would react. She had to get this done before she had to witness it though, she couldn't take that.. She had never been able to take that look on his face, like he's lost and scared and more alone than ever before. She had only seen that face once, when his father had passed away, when Karkat blamed himself for not trying to visit him sooner, tell him that he did love him no matter what he had said when he was a teenager. Taking a deep breath, Terezi continued to pack.

Grab your bag and grab your coat

There was a knock on the door and Terezi's heart skipped a beat. With fumbling hands, she quickly stuffed a few remaining items into her suitcase- Pictures, toiletries, a ring Karkat had given her on their three year annive- No, no, she put the ring back. She couldn't take that. Letting out a soft breath, trying to compose herself, she zipped up her suitcase and rolled it out of the bedroom. She ran over what she would say as she made her way to the door, her mind set on it being Karkat behind the door, a smile on his face to see her after a long day of work. She didn't want that smile anymore though.

"Look, Karkat, we need to ta-"

"Chill TZ, It's only me." Dave said to her after she had opened the door. Terezi's eyes snapped up from the floor, staring at him in a shocked, yet relieved way. Letting out a sigh, she reached forward and wrapped her arms around the blonde man's neck. In turn, an arm was snaked around her torso, Dave even daring to pick her up as he walked into the apartment. A brief kiss was shared, before Dave glanced about.

"You all packed?" He questioned her, bending his head forward just enough for his Aviators slid down his nose. He gave her a serious look, her smile instantly diminishing as she nodded to him. He only gave a short nod back, before he walked over to the suitcase. He grabbed the handle, before glancing around.

"You're 102% sure that you have everything you need?" He questioned her, weighing the bag by lifting it off the floor, before putting it back down and repeating the process. "And I mean anything and everything, you can't come back and get shit once we leave TZ." She simply nodded to him, half in thought as she ran over her mental check-list of things she wanted to take with her. Shrugging finally, she nodded to him.

"Yeah, I have everything.." She said softly. Dave headed for the door, suitcase in tow being him as he swung the front door open wide and stepped out.

"Grab your coat then, let's go before he gets home." Terezi instantly moved forward, grabbing her coat from where it hung loosely by the door and silently exited the apartment. She trailed after Dave as he made his way to the elevator in a rushed pace, just barely making it inside with him. She leaned close to him as the pair traveled down to the ground floor, Dave knotting his fingers with hers in a reassuring way. Terezi smiled just slightly when his thumb rubbed soothing circles into the back of her hand.

Once the elevator let out a soft ding, the doors slid open to revel the busy, bumbling lobby of the apartment. The pair made a dash for the front of the building, Terezi letting out a shiver as a icy gust of air greeted her when she stepped outside. Letting out a shutter, she threw on her jacket as she followed Dave to his car, not even daring a glance back for fear her regret would become too much.

Tell the ones that need to know, that we are heading north

Once the pair had slipped inside of the sleek, black car, Dave turn on the engine. It purred softly, barely noticeable over the blasting sound of the heat that billowed into the car. It was nothing like Karkat's old, rusted car. It growled and snarled and retaliated with all it's might when he tried to turn it on, frustrating him and drawing that same string of curses from his mouth. It would make Terezi giggle, lean over and peck his cheek to try and calm him down. Terezi sighed at the warmth, and soon began to relax, managing to flash Dave a smile. He gave her a weak smile back, though it was more of a sympathetic flash of his pearly whites.

"Did you tell anyone?" He questioned her after a few moments. She just let out a soft sigh, eyes downcast as she fussed with the edge of her shirt, her fingers long and slender as they wound in and out of the teal fabri. She let out another sigh, a nod of the head as she thought over the conversation.

"Yeah.. I told Vriska I was heading north.. And my mom, she wasn't too happy.." Terezi muttered under her breath, remembering the way her mother had scolded her for not doing things "Properly." For not telling Karkat that she wasn't happy before starting anything with Dave. There was a hand on her shoulder, a soft squeeze. Dave just nodded to her, exchanging a quick hug before he pulled back, revved the engine, and the two headed for the highway.
