Author Note: Here is the first chapter of Promptstuck, where I take prompts submitted to me and fill them to the best of my ability. Baxter54132 and I both did our own versions of this one.
Your name is Karkat Vantas, and this is the tenth time you've served detention this month. It's not your fault that the school bullies fell on the wrong side of your fists. They had it coming. But that's not why you're here today.
The gang is all here though. Aradia was caught digging for dinosaur bones on school ground again, and Tavros was dragged in for helping her. Sollux planted a bug in all the school computers, while Nepeta got a little too friendly with the school lockers and a can of spray paint. Kanaya blatantly refused to wear the schools dress code. Vriska and Equius were in for thievery and conspiring; they wanted to have all the money and take over the school's market by force. Gamzee was a stoner, and he was caught with pot yet again. You weren't sure why Eridan and Feferi were there; nobody ever told you what they had done to earn detention for life.
The only other student in the room was Terezi. The teacher, Doc Scratch, knew better than to let her sit with you. Instead, he put her with Vriska four rows in front of you, which in your mind, was worse. She was in because of you.
"Eyes on your homework." Doc Scratch scowls at you, pointing with one rude finger. You roll your eyes at him, but don't respond. You still have a few algebra problems to do, but they won't last until the end of detention.
After making quick work of the algebra, you end up staring at the back of Terezi's head. Detention was a pain, but what you did was worth it.
Early that morning, you arrived at school an hour before it started. You snuck into your class early and used industrial glue to glue red flowers to every inch of Terezi's desk. You also rigged some to fly into the air when she opened it.
When she arrived, she didn't notice at first. The other students were giggling, but she was used to that. She seemed surprised that you didn't greet her as usual, but didn't press the subject.
Then she got to her desk and ran one hand across the top of it. She stopped to a dead halt, sniffing the air curiously. She opened it up, and the few projectile ones flew around her face. She seemed more irritated than pleased, and you worried that this was actually a really bad idea.
"Did one of you cover my desk in foam letters again?" She whipped her head around as if she could see her classmate's guilt. You stop her before any of them can respond.
"It was me." You reached over and grasp one of her hands, pulling her towards you slightly. 'But they're not foam letters."
She raised one eyebrow an inch. "Then what are they?"
"Red flowers." You scratched the back of your neck with your free hand. "I know how much you like red things, and these seemed appropriate." You took one deep breath. "Terezi, will you be my girlfriend?"
She seemed surprise, but barely took a moment to exclaim an excited yes and leap into your arms.
Your lips met right as the teacher cleared their throat.
It turned out that gluing things to school property and rigging projectiles was highly frowned upon.
Both of you were given detention for a week.
But as Terezi turns to sniff at you from four rows away, you know that this detention is worth it.
End Note: If you submit a prompt to me, I would be happy to write it for you.
