Starting a story is one of the most complicating things I've ever done. Figuring out what words to start off with, and kicking the barrel off it's hinges are just not my thing. I used to start off my stories with the surrounding- but at the moment I'm just lazing around in my bedroom writing this irrelevant story. So to officially start this off, I should tell you that this story is not about a love triangle- but a deformed love hexagon- double trouble and more drama than you could ever imagine.

I would ask if it was alright if i spoiled something for you, but I just don't care so I'm just going to say it anyways. I can't help it but to love all the young gentleman who seem to have fallen for me, and I hate that I can't control my feelings.

All this commotion started back in grade school. I was in 4th grade I think? Or was it 5th? Is 5th grade even considered grade school? ANYWAYS! The grade doesn't matter. What does matter though is the scenery. My young self had his cheeks puffed out, arms folded and hips cocked to the side as he looked up at John Egbert. The first to confess.

"What the hell do you want Egbert?"

"Well. I-hah- wanted to ask you if it was alright if um-"

"SPIT IT OUT ALREADY! I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!"

"So what do you think of two guys dating? I know it may seem extremely weird..."

"Wait your not about to say what I think you are- are you?"

"Karkaaaaaaat! Let me finish!"

"Ok Bucks Bunny."

"So.. and hear me out! What if those two guys were me, and you." John's slender fingers shifted from him to me, his blue eyes showing a whole lot of fear and hope.

"Are you playing a prank on me you dirty bastard?" At this point my cheeks had flushed a bright red and I was trying to look any where other than John.

"Cross my heart and hope to die, my heterosexual heart has turned for you."

"So that makes you gay-"

"Bi."

"Well I guess I'm flattered. But that's just the thing- I just don't think I'm ready for a relationship until I'm older."

"Then I'll wait, I'll try my best for nothing to get in the way of my love for you."

I held my hand up to his face and grimaced slightly. "HOLD ON A MOMENT. I don't want you doing anything rash, so let's see if you can really stay true to your word."

"Thanks so much Karkat! I won't fail you my- uh. Bye!"

And that was the first one that had fallen for me, and I was the sucker who fell for him without realizing. Of coarse, my young self didn't know there was more than just John Egbert that was going to steal my heart. Oh ho! There was a lot more that wouldn't even cross a normal person's think pan.
