It was the middle of the school year when a Karkat Vantas moved back to his home state of Missouri to finish up the last of his senior year so he could move out and go to college. It was the middle of senior year when Sollux Captor found out that his KK had moved back to Mii22ourii and after conferring with his friends he finally decides to say hi but when he got to lunch Karkat was nowhere to be found until one short girl named Nepeta Leijon told him that she saw Karkat heading for the library after class so that's where he went he entered the library only to find that Karkat wasn't there.
'Maybe that creepy Nepeta girl was lying?' he thought until the librarian looked up from her book.
"Are you looking for the blond boy (person humanstuck look for Karkat I've never seen a blond Karkat)?" she asked.
He nodded he never really liked talking to people just ask ask any of his friends and they'll tell you the exact same thing.
"He's somewhere in one of the aisles I'm sure if you look hard enough that you'll find him," she smiled a smile that made Sollux wanna vomit. Yeah he had a serious problem with people that really needed to be resolved.
Once again Sollux began to look for Karkat in between the shelves of books when he found a sleeping Karkat with a lap top in his lap of course.
His curly hair covered his necessary reading glasses. Sollux might not have seen Karkat for five years but he still remembered that his friend needed glasses to read.
Sollux had to admit that Karkat looked cute when when he would sleep. What he wasn't afraid to admit it. He also wasn't afraid to admit that when him and Karkat had sleepovers that he would watch him sleep. Creepy as it may sound it was the truth.
Unfortunately he had to wake Karkat up one, because he decided to fall asleep in the middle of school and two, as Karkat was going to be reminded Sollux was and always will be an asshole.
He took a deep breath shaking Karkat as he loudly screamed his name. He was definitely going to get some disapproving looks from the librarian on his way out but he didn't care.
Karkat woke up shutting his laptop defensively, "What the fuck," he yawned.
"Just giving you a wake up call KK," Sollux said simply.
Karkat's baggy eyes widened, "what did you call me?" he asked.
"KK," he repeated.
Karkat shook his head, "I'm sorry it's just no one has called me that in years who are you again?" he asked looking up at me.
"I'm a little a little disappointed I thought you'd remember me," Sollux said pretending to act hurt.
He started to apologize again, "I'm sorry it's just when you've been to as many schools as I have faces start to get blurry."
"It's okay as soon as you look in my eyes you'll remember who I am in no time," Sollux said.
Karkat took one look at his eyes and realize that he couldn't see the colors of his eyes behind his 3D glasses and that's when it him.
"Sollux holy shit is that you?" Karkat asked genuinely surprised to see an old friend.
Sollux helped him up after he closed his laptop. He wanted to hug him but he felt that it would over step his boundaries as an acquaintance. But he wasn't the one to give a hug. It was Karkat who hugged first and the Sollux just melted into the hug to make up for lost time.
Just as Karkat was the first one to give the hug he was the first one to pull away with an adorably light shade of pink on his face. "I'm sorry I just got carried away I remember how much you hate physical contact," he apologized for the third time today which really bugged Sollux because Karkat had nothing to be sorry for.
Sollux smiled reassuringly, "It's okay I never really minded when you hugged me in fact I missed it a little," he blushed.
'fuuuuuck,' Sollux thought, 'he's going to think I'm weird.'
Karkat returned his smile with another small smile, "Really???" he asked.
"Yeah it's been lonely these past few years without you and I was really hoping we could catch up sometime catch a movie or go out to lunch whatever you want to do," Sollux said trying not to sound even gayer than he already was.
"Hmm I really need some help with my math homework do you mind if I come over today and study???" he asked.
Sollux didn't really want to 'study' with Karkat but he knew that this would open up a world of opportunities.
"Sure just meet me after just meet me after school and I can give you a ride," I said.
"Woah you have a car?" Karkat asked sounding impressed.
"Yeah it's nothing special just an old pick up truck," Sollux said rubbing the back of his head.
"Still better than taking the bus," Karkat said.
It was unfair that someone like Karkat had to take the bus he should be driving in style but there was no way Sollux could say that so instead he offered to drive Karkat to and from school.
Karkat said sure but tried to reassure him that he didn't have to but Sollux said it would be a good way of reconnecting with each other. After that Karkat didn't detest and just thanked him for the free ride.
After a while of catching up the bell rang and they made their way out of the library.
"So what's your next hour?" Sollux asked as they walked down the hall.
"History," Karkat replied.
"Sweet," Sollux lisped, "see you next hour," he said walking to his next hour.
