Nepeta ran down the corridors with tears falling out of her eyes. She needed to find some place quiet where she could hide and release her feelings. She had just witnessed the love of her life kiss another girl. Well, that's how she thought it went. Terezi Pyrope and Karkat Vantas were in another room talking. In the blink of an eye, Terezi and Karkat were kissing.
Nepeta had loved Karkat for as long as she could remember. She never told anyone but Pounce and he shipping wall; even Equius didn't know. He couldn't know. He wouldn't allow Nepeta to like him, and she knew that.
Nepeta ran into an empty room, and fell onto the floor. She couldn't hold in the loud sobs she was choking back any longer. She heard the sound of footsteps; they were heading towards the room. Nepeta bit on her sleeve as she hid behind some crates in the room. She couldn't risk anyone seeing her cry like this.
In stepped a young troll. He looked around before speaking, or yelling. "HELLO? IS ANYONE IN HERE?" He looked down at the ground, "HMPH. I THOUGHT I HEARD CRYING."
Nepeta peeked out from behind the crates and saw who it was. Perfect. Just perfect. It was Karkat, out of all people, it just HAD to be Karkat who walked in here. She tried to hold back her whimpers, but she couldn't. Next thing she knew, she was on the floor crying once again.
Karkat, however, had heard her crying. He found out where the noise was coming from, and looked behind the crates. "NEPETA? WHY ARE YOU CRYING? IS EVERYTHING OKAY?"
She looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears. "y-yeah. efurrything is just fine." She tried to put on a fake smile for Karkat, but she knew it wouldn't work.
Karkat extended his arm to help Nepeta up. "ARE YOU SURE? WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING?"
She grabbed his hand and stood up. She giggled a little but the sliver of happiness quickly faded. "no.. i couldn't really talk to anyone about this.. its too hard. thanks though."
Karkat frowned. He didn't want to see Nepeta like this. He hated seeing her sad. He's always had a little soft spot for Leijon, but he could never admit it. He loved Terezi and that's that!
But did he really love Terezi? Or was he just trying to make himself love her?
