Disclamer[s]:
Homestuck, Kankri, Karkat, and Cronus belongs to Andrew Hussie
Little Things belongs to OneDirection [Though, I suggest y'all listen to Il Volo's cover of it; it is divine~]
It was, in the least, complicated.
There. That one word, that exact lettering. It described their relationship perfectly. Perhaps you need clarification.
One day, just like any other, there was a loud ruckus going on in a dream bubble.
"FUCK NO. DON'T YOU EVEN DARE STA-"
"Karkat, I 6elieve that y9ur way 9f expressing what y9u 6elieve, exactly, sh9uld 6e c9rrected. As y9u kn9w, pr9fanities can p9tentially 6e, in fact, 69th triggering and 9ffensive t9 9thers. In additi9n t9 this, y9ur c9nstant yelling may disrupt 9thers as they may 6e "d9ing" such things that *they* c9nsider imp9rtant, such as 6ut n9t pertaining t9-"
" 'ey, chief? Before ya start off 'bout 'breakin' in or interrupting, vwould you mind turning it dowvn? I'm sort 'a trying to do something 'ere."
Cronus peeks out from behind the front door, the seadweller still as laid back as ever, hair slicked back somewhat neatly with grease. An unlit cigarette peeks out from between his lips, his mouth turned down in a frown. On the other hand, grey eyes traced an invisible, circular path, their owner huffing in displeasure. 'What a hypocrite.' He thought. 'And this is supposed to be my dancestor?'
Kankri quieted down, sighing. He crossed his arms, eyebrows knitted in mild annoyance, though refrains from beginning a new lecture.
"Thanks."
== Be the seadweller
You return to that shady area under the bright leafed trees, sighing s you strummed the chords on your acoustic guitar. The sweet sound made you relax, the sun bright, illuminating the area around you. These simple things were what made life great. Yeah..
Humming a bit, Cronus thinks up lyrics, then beginning to sing the short tune along with the accompaniment of his guitar, completely aware of crimson eyes watching him.
"I won't let these little things slip, out of my mouth."
The purple blooded troll frowns a bit. Perhaps that isn't enough…It need something else, to help it along. Yes! That's it! Testing out the chords, he smoothly flows into the beginning, though keeping the earlier lyrics in his head.
"Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me, but bear this in mind—it was meant to be. And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks, and it all makes sense to me.."
A small smile creeps onto the onlooker, though he ensured that he kept focused, and prevented himself from being found. It would be rather triggering for him to find out that there was someone watching, right? He returns to listening.
"You can't go to bed without a cup of tea, maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep, and all these conversations are the secrets that I keep, though it makes no sense to me…"
Kankri felt the smile turn into a grin. He knew who Cronus was singing about. This was one of the reason why he made his final decision…He was flushed, brighter than his own blood, for him. Suddenly, the song came to an abrupt pause, and Kankri turned his attention back to the seadweller, seeing that he was right in front of him, their eyes locked.
"Ya knovw, it's 'triggering' to be wvatched…"
Kankri's eyes widen slightly, and he quickly thinks of an excuse.
"Cr9nus, as y9u kn9w, I was simply taking a quick str9ll-"
"…especially by you, chief."
Kankri felt his cheeks heat up again, and he stutters.
"Well, I am quite aware 9f the fact that y9u had previ9usly kn9wn that I was already here, and theref9re, y9u sh9uld n9t 6e triggered…"
"Yea, yea…now.."
Cronus leaned forwards, his forehead pressing against the shorter troll's. He smirks, sighing contentedly, as the latter frowns at the sudden contact. It wasn't unwanted, not at all, just…unexpected.
"Flushed for 'ya, chief."
Kankri smiles softly. He couldn't stay mad at him, not now, at least.
"..I'm flushed f9r y9u t99, Cr9nus."
As Cronus leans forwards, to give him a much wanted kiss, Kankri stops him.
"Th9ugh, I w9uld much prefer my 9wn name, rather than 'chief'."
The two chuckle together. This wasn't as complicated as they though.
