He was a lanky seventeen year old that had pale skin, white hair, red eyes, and suffered from major mental disorders, but he swore that he'd never let them get in the way of him asking his crush out. Jade Harley, the sweetest and cutest girl in his whole school who had a soft spot for animals of any sort, but mostly dogs. She had been coming into the shop day after day for almost two weeks now. Sometimes she even had these adorable little dog ears on that moved with her emotions, and it just made Karkat love her quirkiness even more. While Karkat had been daydreaming and holding a pencil above the last empty page in his sketch book, he heard the bell on door chime, alerting him to Jade walking in. Jumping to his feet, he clumsily walked to her side, talking as fast as possible. "Is there anything you need after yesterday? If not, we just got a new batch of puppies last night." There was a smooth raspiness as his voice passed the pale smile on his lips, matching the sparkle in his blood red eyes that always seemed to be hidden by his messy, ghost-white hair./p

She said with glee and looked around, nervous to talk to him. One of the puppies, a beautiful, completely white Alaskan Husky that had piercing ice blue eyes, barked at Jade and she went over to kneel at its paws, talking to it in a voice that a mother would use to talk to her baby. As she spoke to the dog, Karkat's fingers began to entangle in each other, his breathe got short and an anxious feeling settled in his stomach as he revved up his courage and began to blurt out, "I was wondering... See, I've had a crush on you for a long time and I was wondering...Do you wanna go to Prom with me? You don't have to." When the last sentence found its way to Jade, a blush settled on her cheeks and nose, light like a flurry of snow that was made even brighter by her smile./p

Should I tell him about my crush on him? /emShe decided against it and stayed quiet as Karkat stumbled over his words, his blush covering his whole face, a deep red, trying to say a thank you while he walked back to the counter and started the sketch on the final page. A suit, and a dress that he had already made, but he needed to show them to her tomorrow so that he could alter them if she didn't like the designs. Finally, all the the skills his brother had taught him had come in handy. While he finished up on the suit, Jade got up and grabbed her backpack, one foot out the door before she hollered, "Bye Karkat! See you at school tomorrow," with a smile still present, and waved good bye, heading home with a blush still on her cheeks./p

The lock clicked and he started to head home through the alleyways, having learned the hard way the most people don't like Albinos. Once he got home, he went past the dining room where his brother, Kankri, father, a known protester for equal rights and fair treatment, and his grandfather were all eating dinner. He didn't stop to eat (again), and instead went straight off his shirt, he looked in the mirror. I pale, lanky boy with sad eyes and many scars looked back at him. His ribs and shoulder blades were almost piercing his skin and yet he still wanted to loose more of the useless weight that he had. Usually he wouldn't sleep at all, as the dark bags under his eyes told, but tonight would be different and strange, with dreams filled with Jade./p
