Post- Game: Act I
vV~ You are Karkat Vantas ~Vv
CG: WHY YES, YES I AM KARKAT FUCKASS. WHAT DO YOU WANT? I'M KINDA BUSY NOT GIVING A SHIT.
VV: Tell the story already Karkat.
CG: WHATEVER.
The game had ended leaving everyone on the meteor everyone fully-realized god-tier mode. I the Knight of Blood watched the love of my life the Heir of Breath leave us for his stupid planet, Earth, with the rest of the humans. Stupid Strider the Knight of Time, Rose the Seer of Light and Jade the Witch of Space. They disappeared in a flash of green light, a ruby tear slipped and fell from my face and then of course all hell broke loose. A high pitched scream came from the back of the room as Jack entered, slicing Eridan through his stomach and he fell to his knees as Feferi screamed by his side. I grabbed my sickles out of my sylladex and sliced the trasportalizer pad in half as Aradia-bot stopped time around Jack. We all ran for our lives to the only way off this rock, Jades golden ship. We all got aboard but not before Jack found us. We had to set the coordinates for Earth and jump in the pods seconds before Sollux would explode the ship. Each pod came equipped with its own recuperacoon so we could sleep during the long journey. We all escaped but we worried that if Jack got the coordinates from the computer, he could track us down and finish us off. I climbed in the recuperacoon and fell asleep with my last sight of John in my head. We awaited Earth and for some odd reason, I felt like I was being watched…
vV~ You there, become that John boy back on Earth ~Vv
EB: Yup I'm John glad to meet you.
VV: Yes you are, now continue the story from your point of view.
EB: Will do miss :B
When the green light subsided you were in an almost pitch black room except for Roses neon pink glow and Jades neon green glow. I was in a basement somewhere each of us felt along the wall for a light switch I was the first to come up with anything a panel with 2 buttons. I pushed them both. Lights flickered on and a ladder descended from the ceiling. I was in my basement from my old house. Everything looked normal except for the transporter pad. That was new, must be from the game so we could get back to Earth though it was strangely silent. I stepped on it again and nothing happened. "They shut it off from the other side. Now why would they do that? Don't they want to see us again?" Everyone just shrugged and we ascended the ladder into my living room. The lights were off so my first instinct was to call out. "Da-"oh yeah, dead, all of our parents and guardians were gone. We all settled in and fell asleep in the two rooms. Me and Dave sharing mine while Jade and Rose slept in my da- in the spare bedroom. The next month or two we each slowly drifted apart as our lives became hectic. Dave became a DJ with Jade playing her new electric bass. Rose became a psychiatrist and was the first to move out. Jade and Dave followed suit. I landed a job at the local Starbucks at night and local Barnes and Noble by day. Since we could alchemize still we could make some things we needed but we still had to work to afford the house and electricity, after a few months of no contact on Pesterchum, I gave up internet and just contacted people on my phone. Soon a year passed I began to think the game was a dream, except for my now cold, empty hollowed out shell of a house. It was a rather cold and dreary Monday. The news said it was going to rain all day here with close to freezing temperatures. Cold enough to create slush in the streets but not enough for it to snow. I walked to my day job at the library tired as hell since I had had nightmares again of me dying and seeing my dad and Roses moms' dead body. I stepped through the Barnes and Nobles doors the little bell on top dinging cheerily on such a bleak day. A voice came from the many rows of books "John?" it squeaked "is that you?" "Yeah, Alexa it's me." I shook out my umbrella and dropped it near the door stepping behind the counter tapping my fingers to the music in my head eventually it formed into Showtime, my favorite piano refrain. A rather cute girl walked up and asked me where the romance novels were I directed her to the section, she winked and walked off. I stared out the glass windows out at the now pouring rain. I saw a figure stumbling along the sidewalk in a soaking black hoodie. He looked in the window, and though I couldn't see his face he made his way inside and by the points of the other customers he was asking directions to the bathrooms. And I noticed that, when he reached out a hand to open the door, his skin was grey. Could it be?
vV~ John walk in to Karkat stripping ~Vv
You walk in and the man standing there has his hoodie and shirt off and he's wringing them out in the sink. His skin was a pale grey. He had broad shoulders and toned muscles. In his rain damped hair you could just see the tips of two candy-corn colored horns. I grinned "Is that really you Karkitty?" He spun around and faced me a red blush painting his cheeks. I realized he was shivering so I pulled off my hoodie and handed it to him; he accepted gratefully and slipped it over his short frame "J-JOHN IS THAT R-REALLY YOU? J-JEGUS GOG YOU'RE T-TALL." I nodded and hugged him. At first he growls he slowly hugs back curling into my warmth "I've missed you guys so much. God your freezing and I bet you're hungry too. Let's go get lunch, since my shifts over in five minutes anyways." He shook out his hair letting it poof out and I saw him stifle a giggle his lip curling into an almost smirk and flipped the hood up on my baby blue hoodie. I pulled him out of the bathroom grinning and led him to the front doors. He stared at the rain wearily. "DO WE H-HAVE TO GO THROUGH T-THAT ABLUTION TRAP OF WEATHER AGAIN? IT F-FUCKING S-SUCKS." I gestured to the umbrella I was holding, I stepped out and opened it up he just stood there inside and glared at the rain, so I took his hand and pulled him out under the umbrella saying "Come on~ Karkat! I'm starving!" We started off down the street I noticed Karkat stayed away from the puddles lining the street. "Why Karkles are you afraid of water?!" "OF COURSE I-I'M AFRAID OF W-WATER FUCKASS ALL S-SENSIBLE LAND-DWELLING TROLLS S-SHOULD BE!" "Are you sure it's not cause you're a kitty Karkat?" He growled and glared at me then squeezed my hand, I had forgotten that we were still holding hands and let go immediately. "Here, this is a good place do you like subs?" He looked at me totally confused "WHAT THE NOOKSNIFFING HELL IS A SUB?" I mock let my jaw drop then pulled him inside shutting the umbrella and setting it by the door. It sure rained a lot in this city, and it was pretty windy too. I noticed him smile when he saw that the umbrella was colored my baby blue spots and pitch black background. We ordered and devoured lunch then set out for my house this time taking a cab. I opened the door for him and he got in blushing then I climbed in the other side. "Where to?" a gruff voice in the front asked. "21605 Fir Drive." He thought a minute then sped off down the road. We we're really tight for space in the small backseat. He looked at me then down to my lips then blushed and stared at his now very intriguing shoes. I slipped a finger under his chin and tipped his head back to look at me staring right into his concrete colored eyes. "Karkat I've missed you so much." His eyes flicked to my lips again and he answered "THERE IS SOMETHING I NEED TO TELL YOU ONCE WE'RE AT YOUR HOUSE OKAY?" I nodded hand now cupping his face; I could feel the heat coming from off his skin as he blushed. I didn't realize I had leaned way into his face until the driver cleared his throat saying "We're here sir." I chucked a twenty over my shoulder as I climbed out Karkat's side after him. I ran up the steps and opened the door for him. He stopped frowning for a second then almost smiling before he disappeared into my pitch black house. I followed him in turning on the light he stood there shivering staring at me.
vV~ Karkat tell John how you feel about him. ~Vv
CG: NO.
vV~ Please. For me? ~Vv
CG: OH THEN FUCK NO.
vV~ Oh kay then. I'm gonna make you tell him. ~Vv
CG: YOU WOULDN'T
I whispered "JOHN, I LOVE YOU"
CG: BITCH.
"What was that Karkat?" "NOTHING I JUST WAS THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING." He just shrugged and sighed. "Welcome to my house Karkat. Just a warning though, I don't have internet here since I have my dad's old PDA. The kitchen is in there, laundry room is back through that door, upstairs are the bedrooms, bathroom and the observatory. And HEY!" "WHAT?" I said pulling off his jacket and my shirt and beginning to undo the buckle on my belt walking towards where he pointed the dryer was. "Could you please hold off the stripping until you're in there!" "IT'S NOTHING YOU DIDN'T JUST SEE ANYWAYS JOHN GOG." I stepped through the door pulling off my skinny jeans and shoes chucking the shirt my jacket, pants and socks in the dryer and turning it on. I stood there looking in the hanging wall mirror when I heard a soft knock "I brought you some clothes to change into while yours are drying." I opened the door then blushed remembering I was standing there in just my black with red hearts boxers. John just stood there mouth agape. "THANKS EGBERT." I took the clothes and slid the pants on. "What happened Karkat?!" he reached out and touched my scar. His hand followed it from my right shoulder to my left hip. I shivered at his touch "KNOCK IT OFF EGDERP I'M SENSITIVE THERE!" I batted his hand away and he took my hand in his interlocking our fingers. I stared at him then took my hand away and slid the shirt over my head. "How did you get this?" He asked touching it again. I bit my lip to keep from moaning "WELL WHEN I WAS LITTLE RIGHT AFTER I HAD MOVED INTO MY HIVE, I HAD FALLEN OFF THE SECOND FLOOR RAILING AND CRABDAD HAD CAUGHT ME. BUT I PAID THE PRICE. HIS CRAB CLAW SLICED OPEN MY BACK. AFTER THAT WE ALWAYS TRUSTED EACHOTHER CAUSE HE KNEW MY BLOOD WAS A CURSED COLOR AND HE DIDN'T CARE. I REALLY MISS HIM." I saw Johns eyes mist up and he looked away. "I understand Karkat. I really do. I miss my dad a lot." I rolled up the sleeves on the shirt saying for the second time today "JEGUS YOUR HUGE JOHN." "No I'm not your just tiny. Even by troll standards." "AM NOT I'M FUN-SIZED." He started laughing "Yeah I suppose so. So what now? I normally watch a movie or sleep in the afternoon." " WATCHING A MOVIE IS FINE, I'M STILL COLD ANYWAYS." I slid his hoodie back on and tucked my hands in the pockets taking in his scent. Of course he smelled like the breeze and what's that? Strawberries? He smelled like my favorite things rolled up in one, jegus gog did I love this kid. "So what movie do you want to watch?" I shrugged and he exclaimed "Con-Air it is!" I chuckled "OF COURSE I WOULDN'T EXPECT ANY LESS OF YOU EGBERT." I slipped onto the couch and curled up on the armrest. John popped the movie in and cuddled up next to me. I didn't realize until half-way through the movie that he was leaning on my shoulder passed out. I smiled and put my arm around his shoulder and turning slowly not to wake him up. I leaned in examining his face then slowly I leaned in to those adorable lips my lips millimeters from his.
vV~ John now would be a good time to wake up ~Vv
EB: SNOAR*
You wake up to see Karkats face. He leans in and kisses you when he sees your eyes open. Shocked I opened my mouth in protest and begin to say "Shit Karkat!" I jump back and his face falls, tears welling up and he closes his eyes. "SHIT JOHN I'M SOR-" I heard him get up and run upstairs the room now dark since the lights were off for the movie. I ran upstairs after him all the doors were closed except for one. The one to my dads old room. I heard sobbing coming from within...
vV~ Karkat I... ~Vv
CG:SHUT UP DON'T SAY ANYTHING. WHY THE HELL DID I DO THAT?! I MEAN I KNOW THAT I LIKE HIM BUT AM I REALLY FLUSHED?
vV~ Hard to say Karkat but heads up here enters John ~Vv
John walks in to see me kneeling on the floor, face in my hands crying. "W-WHAT DO YOU WANT." I snap. "Look Karkat I'm not mad I-" "LOOK I'D SAY I'M SORRY BUT REALLY. I'M NOT. I THINK... I THINK IMFLUSHEDFORYOU." I ended blurring the words together but he understood what I was trying to say. "YOU KEEP ON SAYING YOU'RE 'NOT A HOMO' WHAT EVER THE HELL *THAT* MEANS AND I JUST AUGH, GO AWAY." "Gog damn it Karkat I... shit its almost six! I'm gonna be late for work! Look I need to talk to you afterwards okay? I'll be back at around 11!" I just nod and he ran out and down the street in the misty evening. Oily water running down the drains in the now darkening world. Wind shook the trees and I looked up to the stars, blinking like trapped fireflies. I decided I needed to talk to one of the other trolls. I went downstairs to look for a computer but then remember he had mentioned no internet. "FUCK! LOOKS LIKE IM GOING TO THE LIBRARY." I announced to no-one in particular. I switched his hoodie for mine then slipped on my black and red converse and headed out into the darkening light.
