"KANKRI! COME HERE FOR A SECOND!" Called out the small teen sitting in his dark room, only the dim desk lamp to lighten the area. Walking in sighing came in his brother. Removing his reading glasses and tucking in the text book he was reading under his arm he flipped the light switch on and walked to his brothers side.
"Karkat, you shouldn't strain your eyes like that... You'll go blind." He said looking over the hunched over being that was his brother.
"Yeah yeah sure whatever. Just help me out real quick! Can you proofread this for me?" He shoved a piece of paper into Kankri's hand and stared at him waiting for him to read it.
"And since when have you taken a particular care in you school work? I mean I'm more then happy to help you of course but this is-" Kankri stopped almost immanently after sliding his glasses on and actually seeing what was written on the paper.
" You're joking, right?" Responded Kankri, looking over his glasses holding the paper. On it was lines and stanzas in very crude handwriting, which is supposedly Karkats neatest.
"No I'm not. Read the poem and tell me if its any good. Please Kankri it's important!" Pleaded Karkat from his desk chair. Shaking his head, Kankri went and quietly skimmed the paper, squinting at times when a word was particularly hard to read.
"You truly are a hopeless romantic I hope you relize this" said Kankri handing that paper back to his brother.
"Just tell me if its good! I gotta give it to her before the end of the month" responded Karkat looking over his own work. Sighing Kankri shook his head.
"How do you intend on having her read it? Your girlfriend is BLIND REMEMBER?" Shouted an agitated Kankri.
"NO! I NEVER REALIZED THAT MY GIRLFRIEND OF A YEAR WAS BLIND! THANK YOU FOR THAT NOW RELEVANT INFORMATION!" Snapped Karkat, getting red in the face. Rolling his eyes, Kankri stood up and started toward the bedroom door.
"Im sure Terezi will love it by the way" he smirked as he left with a sly smile on his face. Groaning Karkat returned to the poem in front of him. Picking up his phone he saw the time. 10:30. Still early for him. Going to his phone he started clicking away.
To: Terezi
From: Karkat
You home from that stupid party yet? You know Vriska's parties alway suck! Wanna say why you went again?
Putting his phone down he walked forward to his DVD collection. Movies help him think. Just after picking one out he heard his phone buzz.
From: Terezi
To: Karkat
Thats exactly why. Cause they suck...wouldn't want Vriska to realize how bad they suck. Would break her cold, shallow heart. Just doing my job as a good samaritan! Though a few other people actually showed up. Johns here! And Gamzee. Ugh :[
Groaning Karkat quickly texted her back.
To: Terezi
From: Karkat
Try not to kill him please. If he pisses you off get the fuck outta there. You know how he is.
He walked to his laptop but didn't pay attention to the movie much but instead was to invested in the texts he got one after another from Terezi.
To: Karkat
From: Terezi
BLARG! You act like he wont piss me off eventually! How about you ditch what ever boring Rom-Com your watching and come over? We know your always the LIFE of the party HEHE!
To: Terezi
From: Karkat
Fuck that shit! Kankri would probably catch me and give me some kind of lecture or another about how dangerous it is to go out at night.
To: Karkat
From: Terezi
UUUUGH How are you the only cool guy in your family? Your dad isn't to bad i guess but STIIIILLL. Please Karkat? Gamzee is really starting to make me uneasy. You know he's alway slightly less creepy when your here to keep him in check.
To:Terezi
From: Karkat
Yeah i know...I'm sorry...But seriously just leave! Last thing I need is to get a call saying I need to drive my ass to the other side of town to break up a fight between you two!
To: Karkat
From: Terezi
Yeah okay. Mind if I stop by your house then? Told mom I would be home till 12 So.
From: Kakat
To: Terezi
Yeah I guess thats alright. Just hurry over though. I'll See you soon then
To: Karkat
From: Terezi
Thanks CrabCakes ;]
To: Terezi
From: Karkat
Anytime Crazy.
Tossing his phone down on his desk he looked at the poem. It was still kinda shitty. Picking up the phone he dialed a number and waited for an answer.
"You rang?" answered the almost monotone voice of one Dave Strider
"Im only asking you for help cause I'm insanely desperate understand?" replied Karkat, his pencil in hand.
"Oh shit man am I honored! What can the fabulous D-Strides do for my favorite asshole"
"Im writing a poem...its for Terezi. Think you can help me out?"
"I don't know man! Im I worthy of helping you with your sad love life?"
"Its not sad! Its perfectly well thank you! In fact our 1 year is coming up! So shut up and help me with this!" Retorted Karkat feeling his rage grow. Hearing Dave laugh in the other line caused him to instantly roll his eyes.
"Okay man, you've come to the right place. Now get ready for Dave Striders School of Rhyme"
After about 30 minutes of the two going back and forth between rhymes and words, Karkat finally decided it was worthy enough of Terezi's ears.
"Okay Dave, even with all your stupid advice i think this will do. Terezi's gonna be here so iI gotta ask you to fuck off"
"Oh shit! Is Karkat gonna get some action tonight?" snickered the blonde boy.
"NO STRIDER NOW REALLY FUCK OFF!" Screamed a blushing Karkat
"GET IT IN!" Yelled Strider in between laughs. Karkat hung up instantly and threw down his phone. Seeing that it was 11 he went out to the living room to look out for Terezi. He sat in front of the window and looked out, keeping an eye out for a bright head of hair and a big white dog. Come 11:20 Karkat got worried. when 11:30 came he was border line panicking. Rushing to his phone he dialed her number.
"Terezi? Terezi where the fu-"
"Um, Who is this?" It wasnt Terezi. It was a strange man. In the background was the sound of sirens and barking dogs and people.
"This is Karkat Vantas. Who the fuck are you and why do you have my girlfriends phone?" his voice high and panicked
"I'm Officer Kennedy...and kid, I don't know how to say this but...you just identified your girlfriends body"
