A/N: I hope it won't be too OOC and that it's enjoyable (: I'll try to update as often as possible, which should mean some times a week.
Karkat is standing by himself outside of the school, last period is over and he should be going home to his hive. If only John hadn't been so fucking persistent about walking home together he would already have walked at least half the way instead of standing here freezing his ass off. He can't believe he let the human boy convince him to wait for him, or, well, that's what he's trying to tell himself. He would never admit to have any kind of feelings for the boy, no, because he doesn't, so what point would there even be in admitting them?
"Hey Karkat!" a happy voice shouts, Karkat turns towards where it comes from just to see John waving at him with his usual happy expression.
"What took you so fucking long Egbert?" the cancer troll asks, glaring at the boy.
"I was talking to Dave about an assignment for Chem class", John explains. He quickly takes the last steps towards Karkat and hugs his friend when he reaches him. Karkat hisses and struggles to get away.
"What the fuck was that for?"
"You looked like you were freezing", John smiles warmly. It's true, Karkat really was freezing. He doesn't like the winters at all, they are cold and there are snow and it is dark in the mornings when he walks to school and sometimes it was dark when he goes home too, like those times when John forces him to come over to his place to watch stupid action movies. Karkat and John live about half a mile from each other, and John having the house closer to their school make them mostly spend their time together there No matter how much Karkat complains about it and says that he hates being at John's place, he actually enjoys it, and he's quite sure that John knows about that.
They start walking. Karkat, thinking that he is the leader of course, is walking slightly in front of John, which makes it hard for the human boy to talk to the troll. John gets a funny idea, and starts walking a little slower without Karkat noticing it. When he's gotten far enough behind he bows down and picks some snow up with his hands. Smiling for himself, he forms it to a ball and aims for Karkat's back.
"THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING FUCKASS?" Karkat shouts as he feels the cold snow hit his back. He turns around quickly to look at the one who threw it, and isn't surprised at all to see John smiling at him while picking up more snow from the ground. Karkat growls and gives John a threatening look, which the boy clearly doesn't care the slightest about. John throws the snowball, but Karkat manages to dodge it.
"Stop that right fucking now or I will never walk home with you ever again", Karkat warns.
"You know that's an empty threat", John chuckles and starts getting more snow to throw at Karkat. Only, the troll is faster, because he doesn't bother shaping it as a ball. John winces as he feels the cold snow all over him and looks up at Karkat, who somehow proceeded to walk closer to John without the human noticing.
"Maybe we should keep walking", John says.
"Yeah, not so fucking fun when you're the one getting the snow on you?" Karkat questions.
"Hey I don't mind playing in the snow!" John defends himself. "Come on, just grab some snow and throw it me if you don't believe me."
"No", Karkat says angrily and starts walking again. John is so childish sometimes, Karkat doesn't understand the point of it. He acts like a wriggler... no, a baby, as the humans call their younger ones.
"No need to get angry", John says, balling a new made snowball between his hands.
"Put that fucking thing away", Karkat growls.
John tilts his head at him, and shows a kind of evil smile. "Like this?" he asks at the same time as he throws the snowball into Karkat's face. Karkat's first reaction is to punch John in his stomach, hard. Then he regrets it. But he pretends like he doesn't, because he doesn't want John to think that he actually care about that annoying human's well being.
When they get to John's house he convinces Karkat to follow him inside. It happens almost every day. Okay, no, it happens every day. Always the exact same way. John will convince Karkat that they should meet up after last period to walk home together, and when they get to John's house, he'll convince Karkat to come inside. He usually gets Karkat to stay late every day as well. It doesn't really matter though, but Karkat always says no at first. He kind of likes hearing the how much the human wants to spend time with him. No, screw that. He just gets too annoyed with John to have the energy to argue about it for too long.
It's not like it's even possible that John would have some sort of feelings for him anyways, since he's already told Karkat that he's not interested in boys. But that doesn't matter to Karkat, since he, neither, has any feelings for John. Why would he have feelings for such an annoying person as John? It's not like they have any interests in common. John's taste in movies suck, for one. There are other things too, like... he can't come up with any. No, wait, there are just so many things that he can't choose one particular to think of. Yeah, that's it.
"Karkat, what are you thinking of?" John suddenly asks.
"None of your fucking business", Karkat answers, realizing that he's been standing just in front of the front door with his winter coat and boots still on for quite a while. He's just going to pretend that the reason wasn't that he was thinking of John.
"How about we make ourselves some hot chocolate and then watch a movie?" John suggests.
"Like there is any other fucking choice", Karkat answers, not wanting to say that he thinks it sounds like a good idea. But that's how it always is. He wonders if John understands that. Then he forces himself to not wonder about it since it shouldn't matter to him.
A/N: Okay, that's the first chapter ^~^ I know it's short, but hope you liked it... plz review (: I'd like to know if it seems like this could evolve into a good fanfic
