Hi! this is my first story on here and I think its mostly raw though i do try to polish it up for future and present fans.

I hope you like my fic and it is mostly a red rom story though black rom will probably come up.

No its not just karkat and Terezi there will be other characters involved in other chapters.

Anyway please enjoy the first chapter of Chasing Rainbows!

Chapter 1:

Karkat sighs lounging around in his new found respiteblock or room that he still wasn't used to in the slightest. He still didn't sleep either but that didn't matter.

His room was more human than he was used to but nothing could change that. He had lost just about everything after the game and winning didn't bring any of that back, not even her. He sighs again trying not to think about her but it was helpless, she was always stuck in his thinkpan.

Karkat sits up from the human bed he was laying on glancing at his closed husktop contemplating opening to see if he had any new messages. Of course he knew it was useless but he did it anyways, the familiar glow of his husk top making his odd room feel more like home.

Sighing heavily Terezi takes her blindfold off setting it aside looking around her room for the first time in a while. She didn't like that she could see but she had been neglecting the fact that she has to get used to it.

Her room definitely was not as colored as her old one and she never felt in the mood to actually decorate it. She glanced at her husk top that was already open and lit since she had been messing with it just moments before.

everything was so weird now that she could see again and not even the small blurry memories she had of being able to see helped her. She examined her contacts on trollian seeing a few of her fellow friends were on, that included karkat, the idiot clown and mister cool shades.

She had been deliberately avoiding all three of these contacts ever since the game ended. Gamzee for pretty obvious reasons but Karkat...she wasn't sure what to do about him.

She still felt a tinge of pain in her heart whenever she thought of him. After a while of just staring at his chum-handle she opens a chat with him really not sure what to type to him.

GC: …

After waiting just praying for a message hopefully from Terezi he almost lost hope until the familiar sound of getting a message came from his husk top. His heart raced as he opened the new message biting his lip as he sees her message trying to figure out what to even reply to her message.

CG: UH HEY..

A few moments pass as he anxiously watches his screen not even sure if she would message back.

GC: H1…..

CG: WHATS..WHATS UP?

GC: 1TS 4KW4RD 1SNT 1T UGH

CG: NO NO ITS FINE FUCK I MEAN ITS GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU

GC: ….

Karkat face palmed at his awkward typing really hoping she doesn't just end the conversation there meanwhile on Terezi's side shes feeling rushes of emotions she had definitely forgotten were there when it came to him so she just started typing.

GC: NO OK 1T 1S BUT TH4TS OK C4US3 T4LK1ND 1S GOOD

CG: YES I AGREE

GC: 1M NOT DON3

CG: SORRY CONTINUE

GC: 4S 1 W4S S4Y1NG COMPL3T3LY 1GNOR1NG YOU 1S US3L3SS

GC: 1T G3TS M3 NO WH3R3 R34LLY SO H3R3 1T 1S

she pauses her cheeks flushed and tears filling her eyes as the emotions start to overwhelm her and she starts to panic realizing this was a bad idea to do this over trollian.

CG: TEREZI?

Without warning she closes the chat wiping her eyes as tears had started falling trying to remember now where his room is, grabbing her blindfold as it made her feel safe. On the other end Karkat was stunned and kind of upset thinking he did something wrong closing his husk top not sure what to do now, laying back down on his bed covering his face.

karkat sulks crawling under his blankets sighing, emotions rising in him. he feels tears sting his eyes and his heart starts to ache "Fuck.." he whispers to himself not wanting to cry about this.

Ever since he helped her with Gamzee she had been hiding away, at least from him and this was the first time they had talked. His mind was racing thinking he did something wrong and that she hated him. What he didnt know is that she was planning to go see him as soon as she calmed down.

Terezi cleaned her face off before putting her blindfold on so she felt safer. It was a sort of safety blanket for her and she didn't want to let it go.

Adjusting her senses to smell and taste she focuses on her heart which was pounding in her chest from talking to Karkat. She starts breathing deeply to calm down especially since she was planning on talking to him face to face.

Karkat whimpers wiping his tears away angry with himself for crying over this but he cant help it. He hopes she's ok and just worrying about her all together.

Terezi finally calm enough sneaks out of her room sniffing out for karkat trying to avoid the others for fear of conflict or just talking in general. Whenever she felt like she was too close she would hide, waiting until their smell went away.

Karkat was still unaware of Terezi approaching his room as he was still under his covers trying to calm down and not have red streaks down his face in case anyone came in. AS he heaved he started to feel hot and constricted under his heavy blankets. After a moment he through them off wiping his face off with his sleeves feeling frustrated sighing heavily.

Terezi starts smelling cherries hoping it wasn't a dream bubble though kankri did smell stronger of cherries than karkat. She comes up to the door sniffing to make sure it was him before nervously and lightly knocking. She was close to just leaving not even sure if she was ready for contact with anyone let alone Karkat.

Hearing the knock Karkat freezes, wondering who was at his door not able to remember the last time someone had visited him of their own will. Not knowing what to do he stays still trying not to make any noise wondering who it was.

Another knock sent his mind racing and he sat up, wide eyed at his door. Suddenly a thought crossed his mind that the troll behind that door could be Terezi. After a second knock and waiting for what seemed like forever she turned away feeling a tug at her heart that he wasn't going to answer.

Before she even took one step she heard a thud come from the other side of the door. She could hear movement and then something touch the door along with heavy breathing.

Karkat presses against the door after tripping off his bed and hitting the floor. He had knocked the wind out of himself and was trying to gain it back before doing anything.

After a moment he spoke "Hello?" she says his voice cracking because of his previous crying. He heard something on the other side, like shuffling or someone turning around.

He immediately opens the door his eyes widening to see the trolls hes been wanting to see for so long but was always scared to take the initiative.

"H-Hey…"

Ok so yes I added more to the first chapter I thought it was wicked short sooo there you go! I will most likely do that a lot because in one knight i can only write around 650 words and that's seriously not enough.

Do you like it longer? should it be shorter again? I do plan on continuing this because its fun and stress relieving for 16 year old me. sexy time is coming up which I'm so happy about. You all get to read my smut! lol ok this is too long so ill stop now

Enjoy my story please! 3
