A/N: Guys I knew I said it was Karkat and Tavros but seriously I want both of them to have some history before they just go at it :P The next chapter is going to be just from Tav's POV anyway so yeah...please just shut the fuck up about not having the much Tav in the first 3 chapters. Ok, I'm done ranting back to the story~~ I hope you guys like it! :)
==== Be a happy Karkat
Aeyonn has to be, by far, the best person in the whole fucking world. It feels like I haven't smiled like this for a long time. After she pushed me down the hill we just began walking around.
"Who is he?!" I yelled at her but I can't help but smile.
She almost instantly blushes to her ears.
"Nobody really."
Oh god, she's such a horrible liar.
"Come on, it has to be somebody since they kee-..."
Her stupid ass ringtone goes off and cuts me off. It's fucking circus music for Christ's sakes! This is the shit you would hear if you went to Ringling Brothers in the 1920's or some shit like that. Her face turns a darker shade of red as she fishes her phone out of her pocket and replies to the text.
"Exactly." I can't help but feel smug.
"Anyways, why are we going to the pet shop, you going to buy me a fish so I can name it Eridan and flush it down the toilet?"
I don't get a reply, or a chuckle, or even a scoff.
Stupid PETA people, that was funny dammit!
"Aeyonn, don't bust a vein. I was kidding, really." I can almost see her physically relax.
"But seriously, why are we going to the pet shop?"
"You'll see when we get there."
She smiles at me...No wait, that wasn't a fucking smile, that was her damn smug look. I've learned to love and fear the look all at the same time.
Oh god, what the hell is she planning!
=====Go to Pet shop
This has to be one of the smallest shops I've ever been too. You can make it from the entrance to the back wall in just couple strides. It may be small but it's really open and just nice.
"Welcome to the pet shop...uh...Hey, Aeyonn."
I follow the voice to the guy behind the counter.
He's just so...adorable.
There is just no other word to describe him. His skin is dark like melted caramel, his hair is dark brown shaved into a mohawk, but it's not like one of those mohawks that just scream 'I'M A FUCKING DOUCHE", no this just fits him really well. He has big brown eyes and soft pink lips.
Wait, are those snake bites, oh god I just died a little.
I've always had a thing for snake bites. The rings are black and stand out against the color of his lips. He starts to talk to Aeyonn about something; I just sit there watching the way his mouth moves. It's borderline hypnotizing.
Oh shit, I think they are talking to me now.
"Whatcha say?"
Aeyonn must have caught me staring because she gives me the look of just complete "I told you so."
"Well like I was saying, this is my friend Karkat Vantas I've been talking about. Karkat this is Tavros Nitram. Tav moved here from Phoenix this summer."
"So he...uh...was the guy that was ….uh...dating your brother...right?"
Why the fuck would Aeyonn tell him that?!
"Yeah, 'was' as in not anymore. That fucking douchebag. You've got a problem with it Nitram?"
Watch him be a straight, homophobe.
"Nope," he pops his lips on the 'p' as he leans back, "From what I've heard...uh no offense, Aeyonn...Sollux sounded like a complete tool that didn't fucking deserve you."
He's right... but goddamn, he shouldn't say that like he fucking knew him!
"What the hell do you know? It's not like you ever fucking met him or anything!"
"I know that he cheated on you like four times. I also know that you are by far the cutest guy I've ever seen...uh...well I mean..."
Wait...WHAT? Did he...did he just call me cute?
"Wha-..."
The stupid ass Circus music interrupts me again!
My god, who the fuck is that guy!
Aeyonn gets her phone out and blushes even brighter than she did before.
"What?"
She turns to both of us still blushing to her ears and looks a little freaked out.
"He called me, what am I supposed to do?!"
"Answer the phone!" Tavros and I yell at her at the same time.
Thank god, she can actually listen.
"Uh...Hi Gamzee." she says almost shyly.
Tavros reaches behind him, grabs a pair of keys and throws them at Aeyonn. "Here you can talk in the back room."
Aeyonn mouths 'thank you' and scurries off.
The door slams shut. Then I realize that I'm here... ALONE with Tavros.
Please say something that won't make this so damn awkward.
"So...You said you're from Phoenix? Why move to the middle of nowhere?"
He looks at me with those big brown eyes, "uh...most of my family lives here and I was never really good with crowds so...uh...yeah."
"Yeah...I get that, I usually don't like half the people I'm around anyways."
"Yeah but at least you...uh know who you can trust...Aeyonn has always been a good friend to me."
I wonder what he means by that...
"Yeah."
Cue awkward silence once again.
"Hey...Karkat can you...uh...help me with something." he asks nervously.
"Sure?"
He rolls back from the back of the counter.
Wait he's rolling? He's in a fucking wheelchair!
End of chapter Four!
