Karkat's POV
I knocked on Sollux's door waiting patiently for him to answer.
I already knew he was home. I just hoped he wasn't busy. I kind of wanted to hang out and play some video games today.
I heard him groaned and get before he pulled open the door. "Who the fuc-oh hey KK. What's up?"
I smiled before signing 'Not much. Are you busy?'
Sollux almost smacked himself. Sign language right.'Sure I'm not busy come right in.'
I pushed past him going straight into the living room before sitting on the couch and turning to Sollux. 'Do you wanna play a video game? Or something else? I'm fine with anything' I sign kicking off my shoes.
'Sure what do to wanna play?' Sollux signed leaning against the wall looking at me.
'Doesn't matter. Either way I'll beat your ass' I smirked. 'If you win I'll tell you something you don't know about one of our friends'
Sollux raised his eyebrows. 'Okay you have my attention' he said pulling out mortal combat.
I made myself comfortable on the couch as Sollux put in the game. I hoped I won or maybe I'd throw it so Sollux could win. I wanted to tell him but I wasn't sure.
Sollux sat next to me just as the character menu came up. 'Bring it' He quickly chose his character.
I chose my character sticking my tongue out at Sollux signing quickly 'Prepare to lose'
I could see Sollux focus intently on the game as it started.
As the game started I stuck my tongue out slightly as concentration mechanism. My eyes were glued to the screen. Shit I mentally cursed. I was losing.
Sollux used one of his special moves winning in an instant. I threw my controller to the ground in frustration emitting a low growl that I could only hear. 'How'd you do that?'
'Dude its my game. I've played this game a million times. So tell me' he said leaning back casually.
'Okay so what would you think if I said that one of your friends is in a relationship with one of your other friends? I'm the only one who knows about it'
'Well I would think who and How the FUCK did they hide it?' he signed while chuckling.
'What if I said it was me?' I signed looking straight at him.
I could kind of tell his smile was forced but I let it pass. 'I would say who? And con...congrats.' his hands shook on the last word.
'Dave' I signed looking him over. I could see his hands shaking like he was restraining himself. 'Are you okay?'
'Yea I'm good. I'm fine. I'm happy for you' he said deciding holding it in. He didn't sound sure and it made me feel bad. 'Sollux look. You don't have to pretend for my sake. If you don't like Dave just say so'
'No, no I like Dave. He's awesome. I'm not pretending anything' he smiled.
I smiled back still not fully convinced but I would just let it go. 'Okay good because I was hoping we could all hang out. And go on like a double date type of thing...'
'Yea, yea sure. Sounds like fun'
'See I was thinking that you could go with um Eridan'
I could see him literally freeze. 'Umm I'll have to check my schedule' he signed then looked at me. 'But I'm sure ill be able to.'
I beamed and hugged Sollux tightly before pulling away. 'Thanks. This means a fucking lot to me plus Eridan for some reason really wanted to fucking go with you so that will get him off my back. Is there anything I can do to thank you?' I signed quickly and excitedly.
'No. I'll do anything for you. You just need to ask.' he signed tears threatening to spill over soon.
'Dammit Sollux I'm offering to do anything and you're turning me down. You're such a fucking douche. Just know that this offer will never fucking come up again' I signed letting out a puff of breath for dramatic effects.
'There is nothing you can do for me.' "Anymore" he whispered but I still caught it. 'It's okay. Seriously.'
'Fine be that way' I stood. 'I gotta go I'm meeting up with Dave soon so I need to get home and change. It was fun hanging out.'
'Okay see you later' he said standing glad Karkat didn't hear him.
Before I walked out the door I turned and signed at Sollux: 'Roses are Red, Violets are blue, I want you to Know I see right through you.' before walking out the door. I heard what Sollux had said but I needed to hurry home. I didn't want to have Dave waiting and talking to Sollux would have just made me late.
When I got home I took a shower then threw on the red sweater Dave gave me along with a pair of black skinny jeans. While I waited for him I turned on the TV searching through the channels until I found a good RomCom. I ended up watching 'She's the man.' I set the remote down and splayed out on the couch getting comfortable while I waited for him.
