So, first non-oneshot that I'm posting. Since my other two posts are sad, this is happy, fluffy stuff. KarkatxNepeta-ness, since their need to be more good stories about them.^^
They're so cute! So, yeah.^^ Not my OTP, *That's JadexDave* but still one of my fav couples. Humanstuck/highschoolstuck, fluff-and-stuff…
Please review or favorite!
-:33 Nepeta's Purrspective:
Nepeta crept from her doorway in perfect silence, sneakily ducking into a bush. Her bestest friend, ever was going to pick her up soon, and she was ready and waiting.
By the time poor, unsuspecting Equius had rounded the corner to Nepeta's house, she'd already pounced. Tackling her friend to the ground, and pulling him into the biggest hug a small person could muster.
"Good morning, Nepeta." Equius greeted, awkwardly patting her on her dirty-blonde, cat ear wearing, head. Nepeta looked up at him from her spot on his chest, grinning ear to ear.
"Good meow-ning, Equius!" Nepeta sing-songed in reply, side-hopping off her awkward friend. Equius sighed loudly;
"Must you continue with the insufferable cat puns?"
"Yep!"
Nepeta readjusted her hello-kitty backpack into a more comfortable position on her shoulders, and helped her bestest friend off his back. Most who saw the pair of childhood friends thought them very strange, Equius being tall and muscular, with jet black hair and a serious attitude, and Nepeta being small, lithe, and blonde, and a cheerful, though cat obsessed, demeanor. Luckily, neither one of them really gave a care for what "most people" thought, anyway.
Equius brushed the dirt off his clothing, and resumed his walk to school, Nepeta skipping at his side in order to keep up with his long strides. Really, they always had been, and still are, a strange pair.
When the two finally reached the school, they were welcomed by the usual combination of crowds, noise, and gossip that defines high school. Equius tucked a few black strands behind his ears, and readjusted his glasses as they adjusted to the dim indoor lights of the building. Equius also made sure to glare intimidatingly at anyone who so much as looked funny at Nepeta's cosplay cat ears and tail. Nepeta, on the other hand, happily greeted anyone and everyone even remotely familiar to her, a stark contrast to her friend. She always took extra care to memorize everyone's names, and keep track of important events that involved them, so she could have fun conversations with everyone while walking through the halls. There was only one exception to this, a boy who never seemed to ever want to talk about himself, and it was the site of this certain boy that froze Nepeta in her tracks.
-KARKAT'S PERSPECTIVE:
Karkat cursed angrily under his breathe, standing on his tippy toes to reach his english text book, which his locker mate, and best friend, Gamzee, decided to "borrow," and then place on the top shelf, far out of Karkat's reach. He often found himself wondering why he remained friends with the doofus.
Karkat glared at the offending shelf; why did they have to make these things so danged tall, anyway? Then jumped up in order to gain the needed height in order to get his text book. However, the grumpy brunette's plan did not at all work as he had hoped. Instead, his head slammed into the very shelf he'd been glaring at, and he fell to the floor, cradling his injured cranium. His textbook, no doubt shaken loose by the force of his thick skull, followed behind him, conking him right on his very sore head.
Even angrier now due to being outwitted by a high shelf and a textbook, Karkat angrily screamed out a long and very colorful stream of curses. His rant only interrupted by the sound of a purring giggle coming from directly behind him.
Embarrassed by his epic failure, Karkat turned around slowly, his face turning candy red.
-:33 Nepeta's Purrspective:
"Good meow-ning, Karkitty!" Nepeta giggled, unconsciously smiling her biggest, brightest smile of that morning.
"Hey, cat girl." Karkat raspily replied, frowning at the ground in a too-late attempt to hide his embarrassment. This action, however, only caused Nepeta to giggle even more, and Karkat's blush increased to cover his ears as well. He quickly moved his hands to cover them.
"Sorry Karkitty!" Nepeta finally managed to choke out between fits of giggles, "Mew just look so silly!"
Nepeta held out her hand, silently offering to help him up, but the red eyed youth stubbornly refused to take it, turning away from Nepeta and ignoring the gesture entirely.
"Suit mew'rself, Karkitty! I'll see mew first period!" Despite herself, Nepeta couldn't help but smile at Karkat before she left to head for her own locker, Equius in tow. Karkat's mannerisms, despite how rude others found them, to her, always seemed childish and endearing.
"I wonder why…" Nepeta mumbled to herself, turning to look at the "endearing" boy in question as she walked. Red eyes locked onto olive green ones as Karkat picked himself up off the floor. Nepeta quickly turned back, cheeks pink, completely unaware that across the hall, Karkat did the same.
Somewhere, in both their hearts, something like a little string began to tug.
That's chapter one! I'm trying to make Nepeta seem more real, not just a ball of cute kitty-ness.^^
The string on the heart metaphor/simile or whatever was something I also used in my other fanfiction, Jade: miss Dave, and I kind of liked it. I think I'll be using it alot!
Tell me if you guys like, or even if you don't, your opinions are all valid!^^
