Have you seen a rainbow before? You probably have at least once in your whole entire life! Now as you know, rainbows usually appear when the rain disappears, then the beautiful colors get their turn over the sky.
Scientists might see rainbows as spectrums in the sky; artists might see it as a color palette, and trolls see it as blood.
I've wondered if trolls have ever seen a rainbow in the sky before. I've always imagined that they haven't, and they probably never will. What will their opinion about the rainbow be?
So, let's skip through all of this and get through the fanfic shall we?
A shadowy day at the hive, the cat girl felt gloomy after she confessed to Karkat her feelings. She knew that he wouldn't appreciate her ways as a cat girl. "Maybe it's the pouncing? Or maybe the purrrrs that I give to him," Nepeta sighed, "When will I ever be purrrrrrrrfect…Oh stop that."
Then she remembered what happened, tears ran down her eyes.
She pounced back and forth hiding from Karkat, suddenly he noticed her. "Nep is that you?" Karkat groaned. "Boo!" Nepeta jumped out and attempted to scare him. She giggled and looked at him. "What." Karkat kept serious. Nepeta just kept smiling and asked, "You wanna go for a walk?" Karkat had no choice, he didn't want to disappoint her, so he agreed. As they walked, Nepeta help his hand. But Karkat just pulled away and looked at her. "What was that for?" He said. Nepeta was nervous to confess her feelings for him, but grew her bravery and said quickly, "Karkat I'm flushed for you." She squeaked and smiled at him. Karkat sighed and tried to not hurt her feelings. "Look," He said sadly, "I can't do that with you. I can only accept you as a friend, not as my matesprit…" He walked off and wiped the tears off his eyes. Nepeta just sat there for a while until she stood up and went back to her hive.
Nepeta sniffled and banged her head to her lap. She didn't know what could make her feel better.
Another day passed and sadness was still buried in that little troll's heart. She kept worrying and worrying, then she saw a figure standing in front of her hive. She fairly excited at that moment, thinking it was Karkat coming to apologize. As she turned through the corner, her smile faded away. It was just Equius; he had heard about the incident and wanted to make her feel better. She ignored him and went back in the cave, she felt weaker than the feet of a lowblood.
Honestly, I think she was going to fast. Take it easy kitty, life's not disappearing yet. Well, you get the point right?
As the clock kept ticking and her tears keep falling, she felt a tingle in herself. Was it a sign of happiness in her? Karkat walked in the hive smiling. He had realized that he'd made a mistake. "I'm sorry Nep, Please forgive me. Come out of your hive and enjoy everything," Karkat insisted. Nepeta stood up and held his hand, Karkat held tighter as they both walked out happily.
Taking one step at a time, a gust of wind blew on there faces. Black dust blew them against the wall of the cave. The dust twirled against them and sucked them in slowly.
How? What? What just happened? This-this just carried me away to nonsense work.
As dust went into their eyes, they came to their destination. A place of wondrous humans and buildings of all sorts. "Where are we Karkat?" Nepeta said curiously. "The fu—"Karkat had been interrupted by a convoy of cars. "We better get out of here," they said.
"Ugh!" Nepeta groaned, "I have been pouncing on wet surface the whole day!" Karkat patted her back and kept moving. As the sun went back up in the sky, they saw a sky full of color. Nepeta looked up and stopped. "Karkitty, Look!" They both looked up and smiled. "What is that?" They said. They have been amazed by the rainbow. "Just keep walking, stay away from it Nep," Karkat said.
Somehow, people weren't afraid of the fact that they have horns. Actually, they thought both of they looked sweet together.
As Karkat and Nepeta walked through the streets off Massachusetts, they saw a man painting. An n Italian tourist had seen the rainbow and brilliantly wanted to paint it. Without shame, Nepeta walked toward him and pointed at his palette, "Excuse me, where did you get that?" The man looked at the fine young "lady" and politely said, "Oh, would you like some?" "NO!" Nepeta ran away. Karkat ran towards her. "Did you see that?!" Nepeta was frightened, "Did you see. He-he had our blood!" As they turned to look back at the man, they saw him screaming to the people passing by, "A long lasting rainbow! For the people of chusettes!" They both looked at each other and said, "Rainbow?"
Nepeta looked confused, "Isn't that our blood?" "Not—yes?" Karkat didn't know what to say. "But it's also," Nepeta making quotation marks with her fingers, she continued, "Rainbow Painting?" Karkat shrugged. Nepeta kept asking questions and answering them, "Come on! Come on! It's got to have a better meaning!"
