A/N: I have been sick, sorry. Also this seems to be turning into more of an Erisol fanfic than a Karnep one. I will work on fixing that. I have also realized that I apologize a lot, yet again, sorry. I can't help it. I'm going to shut up now.

Eridan just stared at me for a while before answering the question. "What? No, of course we aren't. What made you think that?"

"You guys acted like you were dating. We thought you were." I said with a now uncertain tone. "We aren't, I can assure you of that. Besides, she is in absolute love with Karkat. That's why she had me come with her in the first place. She thought he wouldn't come if it was just the two of them." Eridan stated before putting his hands in his pockets.

I suddenly remembered that Karkat had taken Nepeta to get food, that must have been hours ago. They must be wondering where we are. "Come on, we should probably head back now." I grabbed Eridan's scarf and began pulling him away from the tree. "We were just getting to the fun part, Sol." Eridan said and then proceeded to wrap his arms around my neck and gave me a longer kiss than the previous two. I wrapped my arms around his waist and before I knew it, I was the one against a tree.

Then Eridan decided to let go and started to walk away, leaving me breathless and wanting more. How did this happen again? "Hurry up or we won't make it back until morning." Eridan said over his shoulder. I ran to catch up. "Oh and here's your phone. You dropped it quite a ways back. Phones are not breadcrumbs, Sollux." He retorted with a laugh.

Eventually, we were back at the fair. I had received five messages from both Karkat and Nepeta asking our whereabouts. As it turned out, they had left long ago and figured we had left as soon as they split the group.

As we walked to the parking lot I noticed that there was only one car left in the visitors section. "Where is your car?" I asked Eridan. "It's at home. I live close, so I walked here. Why?"

I thought for a while before replying. "I can give you a ride if you want." I said, not sure of what I was expecting him to say. "I will be fine walking; I don't want to cause anymore trouble for you." He said looking down. Right at that moment it began to rain vigorously. "Get in, Ampora." I said as I climbed into my car. I turned it on and turned the heater up. After a few moments Eridan finally gave in and climbed into the car, his hands running over the soft leather interior.

"Nice car." Eridan sat awkwardly on the bench seat of the car. "Just wait, it gets better." I said and leaned over to press a button on the dash, the seats began to heat up. After a minute the car made a loud sputtering noise and stopped running. I cursed and got out of the car, leaving Eridan sitting on the warm seats. It would take a while for them to cool down. He should be fine. I lift the hood and start working on fixing the car. It's an old car so it had a lot of problems. After a while I found out what was wrong with it and began working on it, I turned and discovered Eridan standing next to me clinging to himself for warmth. I finished up and started the car again. I opened the door for him as he climbed back in.

He began shivering despite the warmth still lingering in the seat. I scooted over to him and wrapped my arms around him; we were both soaked and cold. I leaned over slightly and kissed lightly on the cheek. Eridan returned the favour by threading his fingers into my hair and pulling me in for another deep kiss. As we kissed, I slowly lowered him onto the seat. I was partially lying on top of him with my arms on either side of his head again. I felt his tongue slip into my mouth. I gasped as it grazed my teeth. He slid his hands onto my stomach and under my shirt, exploring my skin. I could feel his now warm hands slide across my chest. His hands had gone back down to the hem of my shirt and began to lift it. Before he managed to get it off we heard a thud against the window. It was one of the fair workers. "Hey, we are closing. Get a room. Damn teenagers." We heard him mutter the last part as he walked away. We moved back to sitting positions and I started driving the car out of the parking lot. "Which direction is your house in?" I asked as I got to the exit. He gave me directions to his house and we drove in silence.

As the car approached Eridan's home I noticed that there were no lights on and only Eridan's car was in the driveway. When I pulled in we both got out of the car and walked to the front porch. "Today has certainly been… Interesting..." I said, putting one hand on the back of my head. "Yes, it has. So, what now? Are we, you know, together or?" He replied in an uncertain voice. "Do you want to be? It's up to you if this goes any farther, I mean, I would love to keep this going. Believe me, but if you don't then that's fine." I said, trying not to make the conversation anymore awkward than need be. Why am I reacting like this? "I would have no issues with it. How are we going to explain this to the others? They probably still think we would rather kill each other than be in the same room."

"I don't know, we will figure that out later." I shoved my hands in my jacket pockets and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. I turned to walk back to my car, as I stepped off of the porch I heard Eridan say my name. I looked back to see him leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed. "No one is home, why don't you come inside for a bit and warm up? We have hot chocolate." He spun into the door and walked slyly inside. I didn't have to be home for a few hours, why not?

Karkat POV

I wonder how long it will take those two to start trying to kill each other. They most likely already are. Nepeta was walking ahead of me on our way to the seafood restaurant in the fair. She was skipping excitedly, how adorable could one person be? As we entered the restaurant and took our seats at a small table our waiter came and quickly took our order. We sat there for a few minutes just sipping our drinks in silence until finally got enough bravery to ask the question that had been on my mind all day.

"Why are you dating Eridan?" The instant I finished the question she began choking on her drink. "What? Me? Dating Eridan? You think we are dating?" She said in between coughs. "Well, yeah. You guys were holding hands and all. We just kind of figured you were." I said, now regretting even mentioning it. "We are most certainly not. We just became better friends recently due to mutual interests. Oops." She covered her mouth and blushed. "What mutual interests? Do you mean role-playing?" I asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, sure, let's go with that." She said hastily. "Nepeta, what do you mean 'mutual interests'? Would you please tell me?" I asked curiously. "We thought you and Sollux were dating a while back… And well…" Her sentence got quieter and quieter until she was practically whispering and looking down guiltily. "We wanted to know if you were because I may or may not like you and Eridan may or may not like Sollux, but it wouldn't really matter since you guys are dating…" She twiddled her fingers in her lap awkwardly. Is this really what all of this was about? Why did they think Sol and I were dating? "We have never dated, never. Why would you guys think that?"

"Because Terezi said she saw you guys kiss behind the main building last week… I wasn't sure if I should believe her, with her bad eyesight, you know. She is almost blind after all, but then you asked if he could come with us to the fair and I just sort of assumed that you meant it as a sort of date between you two. I guess I was wrong, right?" She said all of this in a rush. "Wait. If what you say is true, then no one is dating anyone and we just sent Eridan and Sollux off to who knows where with each other. If Eridan tries to make a move on Sollux he will most likely take it as some sort of threat. We all know about their history of violence towards each other. What do w- What?" Before I could finish asking what we should do about our new problem Nepeta got distracted by a giant plate of steaming fish coming our way.

I wasn't sure if it was adorable or problematic concerning the big problem at hand. She instantly dove into the fish and put some on her plate before offering more to me. When I declined she began eating hers as if she hadn't had fish in forever. She was so hopeless, after a few minutes of this, I finally got myself a plate of food and we continued eating. We decided we would deal with the other two in a while; they couldn't do too much damage to each other, could they?

We just sat there talking for a few hours and neither of us could remember what problem we had when we had gotten there until we were about to leave the fair. I was getting dark and neither of us had heard from Eridan or Sollux. We both sent messages and calls to the two but we never received an answer. "They may have left their phones somewhere. I know Sollux tends to drop his." I said in a worried tone. Where could they be? "Eridan usually keeps his close but he forgets to charge it enough, people don't really talk to him that often." She said, frowning slightly at the end.

"We can wait at my house and see if one of them answers after a while." I said. "Sure, sounds good to me. I just hope they end up okay. Does Sollux by any chance like Eridan? If so, I might have to update my shipping wall…"She joked trying to make herself less worried.
