...
The first thing I noticed was his lisp, "Ith Kk here?" He tried to peek in, but Karkat hid behind me.
"Uh, CC? I think you should talk to him," Mrs. Lambert suggested. He seemed taken back at "CC", instead of "Kk". I nodded and moved to my left about three feet, just enough to be visible in the doorway.
"Uh. Hey?" I somewhat asked. He cursed under his breath.
"I thought thith wath where Karkat liveth," he said.
"Um, it is. Why do you want to talk to him?" I asked, hoping he would leave soon.
"I need to talk to him about thtuff."
"What kind of stuff?"
"Jutht let me talk to him!"
"He's unavailable at the moment..." I started to say.
"What do you mean? I thee him right there!" I shut my mouth. I backed away from the doorway for a moment.
"Um, Karkat, what do you want me to tell him?" I whispered.
"Tell him to leave me the [freak] alone," Karkat whispered back.
I went back to the doorway, "Yeah. So, he says to leave him alone and all that jazz."
The guy standing on the porch seemed discouraged by this. "Jutht tell him I thaid hi, then."
I backed away from the door and dragged Karkat to the door. "Let me the [freak] go!"
I faced the mystery guy and he pulled Karkat into a hug, "Oh, Kk. I'm tho happy to thee you!" I felt my heartstrings tug a bit as the guy held tight. I fell foward to my knees. For some reason, I felt something tug at my heart. For some reason, I wanted to join the hug. It was as if something was telling me to. I managed to wobble back to my feet and pulled them apart.
"CC! What the [freak] are you doing?" Karkat said, but I ignored him and pulled the other guy into a kiss. My perception blurred so bad that I didn't realize what I did, or was doing, until he asked for permission to enter my mouth. Shocked, I pushed him away as quick as I could. I backed away from him, shaking my head. "CC! CC?"
I glanced at Karkat. I murmured, "I didn't... I... I didn't... mean... I didn't mean that."
"CC? Are you okay? CC? Can you hear?" He asked. I nodded just enough so that it was recognizable as one. "Sollux? What the [freak] did you do to my girlfriend?!"
We're matesprits? I questioned inside my head. Sollux? Captor? "Sollux Captor?" The guy turned his head.
"What'th it to ya?"
"I hate you!" I screamed. I was still able to slap him, though, which I did. I pushed him down the porch steps. He stopped being pushed after he hit grass. By that point, I was crying, barely making him move. I stood there, sobbing and throwing weak punches at him. I kept crying as he pulled me into a hug. If I could, I would replay the next scene over and over. It all happened so fast that I barely caught it all.
Karkat grabbed my shoulder and pulled me away. I felt like I weighed nothing compared to his strength. He pulled me into a kiss that was so deep and passionate that I thought I was in some different reality.
"Have you been listening to me?" Izzy asked. I shook my head a bit, erasing my thoughts.
"Sorry," I blushed. I couldn't stop thinking of the fantasy that replayed in my head.
"I was talking about whatever, then my weirdo cousin came. And we all know how that went. Awkward. Am I right, Hope?" Izzy turned to the girl who happily ate two pieces of pizza at once. She nodded. "Then I came to topic of crushes when you zoned out, CC. I thought I'd catch you up to speed."
"Wait!" I screamed. Everyone froze. "What day is today?"
"Are you serious right now, Car?" Hope said after she swallowed. I giggled a bit at my nickname. Hope said it's spelled like "car", but pronounced like "care".
"I am quite serious," I said, monotone.
"Oh, well. It's Friday," Izzy said slowly.
"[Gosh dang] it. It needs to be [freaking] tomorrow already," I paused. I glanced around. There were two pizza boxes, making me remember the fact that Karkat, or her cousin because I didn't know if that was his real name anymore, took a pizza upstairs. I stood up and ran up the stairs, two at a time, until I tripped and busted open my lip. I put my finger on it as I walked one at a time up the rest of the staircase. I didn't pay attention to Izzy's, or Hope's, yells for me to stop.
I didn't want to hold my breath, but I hoped to see Izzy's cousin sitting at the kitchen table. I smiled, removing my finger when I did indeed see him sitting there. I walked over to him, swinging my arms around his neck, "Oh, Karkat. I'm so happy to see you again."
"Again?" he asked as he pushed me away. I noticed that his hair was actually brown, but looked black in the dim light of the dining room the first time I saw him. "And who's Karkat?" I took a double take.
"What do you mean 'who's Karkat'? Your name is Karkat. That's what you told me!" I took a step back, into the light. My eyes reflected in his eyes. I blinked back the tears.
"I theriothly don't know who Karkat ith," he said. I picked up on his lisp this time.
"Sollux? You're Sollux? SOLLUX?!" I shouted towards the end.
Mrs. Lambert cut in, "Um, CC? I think now would be a good time to go back to the basement. Okay?"
I turned and started to leave, but I heard her cousin call out, "It'th Thollux Captor."
