So in this one I decided to have Karkat and John play instruments. I'm sorry if I made them a bit out of character, but I wanted to make something that they could both have in common. So like always, please review and tell me if I need to fix anything or if you have any suggestions. Thank you!

Karkat: If you're reading this, you're fucking amazing.

John: Thanks to all of you who decided to read more!

Karkat: And we wanted to apologize on behalf of Summer's fucking poor writing skills.

Summer: Why must you be so mean to me!

Karkat: Because I can't be mean to John cause you made me li- *slaps hand over mouth*

Summer: Heheheh, I would watch what you say Karkat. And my writing skills aren't that poor!

John&Karkat: *stares at her blankly*

Summer: I expected this out of Karkat, but from you John? Really?

John: I think your writing is…decent, but it could use some work. But that's ok! That's why you're doing these one shots in the first place!

Summer: Well at least he was nicer about it! *glares at Karkat*

Karkat: You know you love me Summer. It's ok, I'm a fucking amazing guy!

Summer: …ya, you're right :D

John: And I'm so sorry to say this Summer, but you don't own anything from Homestuck…

Summer: *tear*


Ch.2 Musical Connection

Karkat walked into the music room of his school, and pulled out his violin. He was a pretty good musician, but he wasn't able to practice for a while due to the all of the fucking work his school gave him. He decided that over the weekend he would come here for a practice session, and also, he wanted to be alone for a bit. He liked his friends and all, but sometimes he liked a little alone time here and there so that he could reflect and think.

He set up his instrument and began to play a few notes. He sat down on a chair and thought for a few minutes on what to play. He decided on a piece that he had to memorize at his old school. He forgot what it was called, but that wasn't really important. He started to play. He closed his eyes and memories started flowing back. This was his favorite piece from last year, he loved the way that the harmonies and the melodies mixed and accented each other in such a unique and magnificent way. His teacher Mr. Philips had finally thought they were ready to play a more advanced piece, and this was what the class had decided on. He thought about how long everyone had practiced, and how hard they worked. He even remembered how his buddies would practice with him, and how surprisingly enjoyable rehearsals were. He kinda missed playing music with someone else.

Karkat didn't notice that someone had walked through the corridor and stood, watching as he played. Karkat finished, and held out the last note. He opened his eyes to see no one other than John Egbert staring at him. He stared right back, shocked and embarrassed. He could feel his cheeks burning.

All of a sudden, John started clapping, and his derpy signature smile surfaced on his face. "That was amazing Karkat! I had no idea that you played an instrument!"

Karkat just there for a minute, still shocked. He had no idea that he was their listening to him and had no idea how long he was there. After a few seconds, he blinked, not knowing what to say. "Um…thanks…" He looked away for a second, gathering his thoughts before he spoke again. "What are you doing here though?"

John's smile got even wider and a slight blush was barely visible on his face. "Gosh Karkat, I'm sorry if I'm intruding. I was actually going to pick up some music I had left here."

Karkat relaxed a bit and his blush faded. "You play an instrument?" He honestly didn't take Egbert as the musical type. So the fact that he was even in the music room surprised him a bit.

"Yeah, I play piano and also the violin. I would have wanted to be in band, but my over bite kinda makes me unable to play a wind instrument."

Karkat stood up and put his violin in the case. As he was getting up, he looked back at John. "We should play sometime together." Karkat could feel the blush on his face return. He noticed that John seemed to be blushing as well. They looked at each other, and after a moment John started to speak. "We should. That sounds like fun." They started to slightly grin. His heart started to beat a bit faster. He had no idea why. Maybe he was just…um…happy that he knew someone who liked playing an instrument? Ya, that's it! There were no other reasons at all why he would be feeling this way….

"Would Tuesday after school work for you?" Karkat looked at him hopefully.

John continued to smile and looked down to floor. Gah, he looks so damn cute! Karkat honestly didn't care that he just called another dude cute at the moment, because it was true. This kid was fucking adorable when he gets all shy and shit like this.

"Um… I'll have to check, but I think I'm free." Karkat's heart skipped a beat. He was so excited now! He finally had someone to practice with. And, though he would never say this out loud, he had to admit that he was looking forward to spending more time with John.

"I'll text you though, K?" John said, looking up at Karkat, causing him to blush an even deeper shade of red. He really hoped that John didn't notice! That would be so fucking embarrassing…

"Alright." Karkat said as he broke out into a smile. "So I'll see you around."

With that Karkat quickly walked out of the music room and outside. As he walked, he felt warm and fuzzy despite the coldness that surrounded him. He couldn't contain his happiness, so he smiled and when he got to his dorm he went into his room. Still smiling, he pulled out his phone and started texting John. He could tell that this was only the beginning of a strong and wonderful relationship.


I think I'm actually starting to maybe get better? I don't really care anymore. This is fun! And thank you much for reading! Please review and tell me if you see any mistakes or ways for me to make this better. And if you have any requests I will try to do them! So yet again, THANK YOU!
