Karkat Vantas holds his sickles with shaky hands, angry and sick of the world. A smile slowly creeps onto his lips. His eyes widen with anticipation. He wanted to kill everyone, taste their blood on his lips, wanted to feel it on his hands. A laugh rose from him, getting louder and more eerie. He can't wait to get started.
Karkat walks through the snowy park alone, its been three months since John had left him for Dave. Trudging through the snow he tugs his jacket tighter around him. "Why the fuck is it so cold?" He muttered to himself. But he continued walking to the coffee shop; he worked there from 5 am to 2 pm. Pushing open the glass doors he saw his boss at a table drinking a mocha Frappuccino. Mr. Evans looked at his wrist watch, then Karkat. "Well you're ten minutes early, as always you get here before shop opens." He gives Karkat a wide grin. "I wish I had more employees like you son. Now get to work." He gave Karkat a pat on the back and returned to sipping his mocha Frappuccino.
Karkat takes off his jacket and puts it up on the coat hanger behind the counter. He then finds his apron and name tag, then he puts them both on. Karkat turns to the coffee beans and the coffee maker, then puts the coffee beans in and pushes the start button. Soon the shop is filled with the warm scent of coffee. Mr. Evans has flipped the closed sign to open. "Well as usual your friend Sollux is late. Again." He shakes his head disapprovingly. "He's a good worker, but he can't be late. If he doesn't get his act together I'll have to fire him." Karkat looks up from reading the paper. "Sir give him one more chance, I'll tell him what you said. Just please give him one more chance." The boss smiles at him and gives him a nod before leaving the shop.
Sollux showed up 2 hours late. Karkat told him what Mr. Evans said and gave him an earful of threats. They worked just fine that day, taking orders and chatting with some of their friends that walked in. The only thing they weren't expecting was to see was John and Dave walk in holding hands, laughing.
Karkat almost lost his temper, thinking. John fucking Egbert knew that I worked here! He must want to make me jealous! I'm gonna kill him! He took in deep breaths and tried to calm down, but seeing the two together wasn't helping. "Sollux I'm gonna go out for some fresh air. Can you cover for me?" Sollux knew about the two's past relationship and nodded. Karkat grabbed his jacket quickly; he knew he was on the brink of tears. He rushed out the door passing the couple that he hated.
