Chapter 1: Kartat Vantas

Karkat Wake Up

Karkat woke up to Sollux leaning over him smiling, his fangs glittering like pristine while pearls. His black hair cascaded over his ashen colored forehead, making it look like he had not yet combed his hair.

"You gonna wake up now?" Sollux asked. He smiled a sweet smile that made Karkat's insides melt.

"What the fuck Sollux why the fuck are you in my room?!" Karkat exclaimed.

"Becauthe I can be dipthit." Sollux replied. He looked into Karkat's eyes, slowly leaning closer to Karkat's face. The door slammed open.

"Sollux you forgot your bucket in the living room!" John said. "Oh… am I intruding?"

"What?! FUCK no!" Karkat covered his face as he blushed a deep blood red. Sollux ran out of the room, pushing John out of the way as he ran to grab his bucket.

"So… I never knew you liked Sollux." John said with an impish grin on his face.

"Sh-shut up!" Karkat stuttered.

"You know… I think the bucket was full when I passed it." John grinned. Karkat's eyes widened.

"WHAT?! WHO THE FUCK FILLED IT UP WITH HIM?! AND WHEN?! THAT FUCKING SOLLUX, I'LL KILL HIM!" Karkat proceeded to hysterically punch the wall while a slur of unintelligible curse words flew out of his mouth.

"Whoa, whoa, calm down Karkat, I was only joking." John explained. Karkat slowly turned towards John with a murderous look on his face.

"Don't EVER fucking joke about filling a fucking bucket John." Karkat hissed. He then stalked out of the room leaving John, to go follow Sollux.

"Sollux, wait the fuck up!" Karkat yelled. Sollux was briskly walking away from the living room with a bucket swinging in his hand, trying to hide the fact that he was blushing a light buttercup color.

Karkat Perform A Front Flip And Snatch The Bucket Out Of His Hand

"Why the fuck would I do that?!" Karkat yelled. "That would only make me even more fucking embarrassed!"

"Who the fuck are you talking to Karkat?!" Sollux questioned.

"Err… Who the fuck AM I talking to?!" Karkat repeated. Sollux clenched his fist, stopping halfway turned away from Karkat.

"S-Sollux are… are you ok?" Karkat asked. Sollux opened his mouth as if to say something, but then walked into his room and closed the door, leaving Karkat in the hallway.
