This is just too boring! You thought savagely as you stuck your pencil into your notebook again. (favorite subject) was your best subject, but because of the IDIOTS in your class, you were ALWAYS reviewing and going over stuff that you already knew.
You only suffered through school for one very special reason.
Karkat Vantas.
You blushed at the very thought of his name in your mind. His adorable shaggy black hair, his little nubby horns that you always thought were so cute, the way he desperately tried to hide his blood color. He was your Moirail, and so, you supposed, in the very best way, you were friendzoned. You had been smitten with him since FOREVER, since the very first day you had met him, but you always knew that he was totally flushed for Terezi, one of your other troll friends. They had recently started to date. Jade Harley, your best friend, had been the one to introduce you to the trolls. The school bell rang, snapping you out of your reverie. You shot out of your desk and ran down the hallway to the parking lot.
He was there, idling in his black jeep. You gave a small squeal in spite of yourself and propelled yourself into his car.
"Hiya Karkat!" you said cheerfully. He grunted in acknowledgement and your face fell slightly.
"Uh, hi (Y/N)." He looked down. "Sorry, but I've got to drop you off quickly, ok? Terezi wants to hang out…" He didn't look you in the eye.
You smiled, despite the cracks in your heart. "Oh, yeah, sure! I understand…" You looked down awkwardly at your knees. Crap! What do I say now! If he had only told me he needed to meet Terezi, I could have rode the bus or something...it's because he's so kind…
Deep down inside, there's a really kind side to him. Because he's still going to drive me home, because he knows how much I hate the bus and how the people make fun of me...He knows…
"Uh, how long have you and Terezi been dating now?" You asked. Agh! Why did I ask that?! I don't want to know!
He looked off into the distance for a bit. "Uhmmm...about three months? I think? That's the whole point of why she wanted to meet me. She's so fanatical about this sort of thing, the fucking...I don't know the fucking anniversaries or whatever." He rolled his eyes as if he didn't care, but the blush creeping out over his cheeks, the red blood he tried to hide, hinted that he really was excited.
Another knife in your already battered heart.
The only person that knew of your feelings for Karkat was Jade, and she swore not to tell anybody. You had cried many a night, alone, until Jade came over and watched rom-coms with you, which just made you cry harder because you knew how much Karkat loved them. And then Jade would hug you and you could cry into her shoulder, and she would let you.
But you wanted to do that to Karkat. You wanted to tell him everything about you, every little detail, and you wanted to know that he would care, and listen to every detail.
But you weren't Terezi.
And that wasn't going to happen.
He dropped you off at you house, with an apologetic look on his face. You smiled as best you could and then waved goodbye as he drove away.
You walked into your house, passing the kitchen, passing everything, and into your room.
You collasped on you (F/C) bed and began to cry.
You practically lived for those few minutes after school when he picked you up and drove you home, or whenever you could watch a romcom with him, or when all the trolls and kids got together to have fun. You lived for that, those tiny little moments, when you could see him. But now that Terezi was his matesprit...you guess that you were just going to be friends.
Moirails for life, right?
KARKAT'S PERSPECTIVE
He was sitting in his car, idling at the school. He nervously checked his reflection in the mirror. His hair was good. He was super excited for his meeting for Terezi, although he tried to hide it. And failed, most of the time. But lately, Terezi had been kind of weird, so he was hoping that for their three-month anniversary, she would be fine, as she normally was.
(Y/N) was going to be walking out of that school any second. He felt himself relax. She always calmed him when he was nervous. She was such a great moirail. He remembered the day he had first met her, when Jade Harley...that damn Jade Harley, introduced you to him for the first time.
Your (H/C) glowed with the setting sun, as the trolls were just waking up for the night.
"This is my friend, (Y/N)," Jade had said.
Karkat had always been cold to people, but there was just something about her that just made him spill all his secrets. He just couldn't help becoming moirails with her. She was the first one to tell when he realized just how flushed he was for Terezi. And she was the only, the only person, that could ever call him Karkitty.
Then again, she only did that once and she had a really bad fever.
"Karkat!" she called, as she propelled herself into the passenger seat.
Karkat was hit with an overwhelming amount of girl-smell. Whoah...yum. He shook his head firmly. "Uh….hi." he replied, staring down. Oh right! Fuck, I have to meet Terezi… " Sorry, but I've got to drop you off quickly, ok? Terezi wants to hang out…"
Her face seemed to fall a small bit, but she beamed at him nonetheless.
""Oh, yeah, sure! I understand…" She looked down at her knees.
Fuuuuuuu! I feel...ugh what is that, bad? Yeah, I think it's bad. I feel bad for leaving her at her house, normally we hang out...but it's Terezi, and I want everything to be fine between us.
He remembered a while back, when he was talking with Nepeta, the same sort of thing happened. She had mentioned that maybe he should spend more time with his friends and not always choose Terezi, but seriously! He was finally matesprits with her and he didn't want anything to change….
But unfortunately, something was going to.
