All right, next chapter. Sorry it's taking me so long to get these up, but it's a lot better than the once a week schedule I was planning on using, so…
Anyway, I had no idea I would get so many prompts! Thank you all! I am working on those, and with any luck, should get two up soon. I'm getting a lot of Nepeta requests. I had no idea she was so…Shipable? Anyway, it'll all get posted…Eventually.

ReinaPokemonOtaku: I'll have that up very soon! I'd never heard about it, but you inspired me to write at 1:30 in the morning, so here's a virtual cookie.

Ptd the shiny: I will get on that as soon as my next two stories are done. Maybe three. I ship that, actually!

SodaPop000: I'm working on your stories as well. I should have an EriKan or something up shortly.

Here's a list of ships I intend to write soon:

FefNep
SolNep
RoxySol 3
EriKan 3

That might change a little, depending on how I'm feeling, and if I get inspired. But I'm doing my best to get to requests in order of when they're dropped, unless the person drops several, in which case I post one of their stories and then get around to the other when I can.


Ship: Nepeta 3 Karkat
Chapter four: Sick
(Notes: AU where the trolls are stranded on earth after the destruction of Alternia and John Dave each take in some trolls.)
{Catagories: Fluff, Humor, romance.}
[Blurb: Karkat gets stuck watching Too Cute and horse documentaries with Sick!Meowrails.]

Karkat stomped up to the apartment door. He slammed his fist on the door until it opened, which took a few minutes. When the door finally opened, Karkat glared at whoever had kept him waiting. Equius gave him a tired look.
"Karkat…Please…I request that you do not pound on the door like that. We are sick, and I have a particularly bad headache." Equius said, ending with a sniffle.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Karkat snapped shoving past him. "Now where's Nepeta? I promised her I'd come over but I swear to god I will leave if she's asleep."
"Please…Not so loud." Equius pleaded. He put a hand to his head, and shut the front door. "Nepeta is resting on the couch in the recreation room. Please take care to not disturb her."
Karkat stormed into the recreation room and slammed the door open.
"Nepeta!" He screeched. "Are you in here?!"
There was a shuffling sound, and a head popped up from the couch in front of the T.V. The room had a full retro gaming system arcade curtesy of Bro Strider, who had been the one to take in Equius, Nepeta, and Terezi. Karkat had been living at John's with Tavros and Vriska. Kanaya, Sollux, and Eridan had been living at Rose's, and Aradia, Gamzee, and Feferi had been staying with Jade.
"Karkitty!" Squealed Nepeta. Well, she tried to squeal. It came out as more of a whisper with a hint of dying whale. Karkat continued on his stormy way and leaned over the couch, putting his hands on the back. He put his hand on Nepeta's head and gave her a gentle shove downwards. She mewled at him and he scowled at her.
"All right, I'm here. Now what do you want, you sad excuse for a-" Karkat's rude words were cut off as Nepeta grabbed his hands and nearly pulled him over the couch.
"We're watching 'Too Cute' and eating ice cream!" She said hoarsely. Karkat grunted and yanked his arm away.
"Oh my gosh! I came all the way from Washington to watch a retarded wriggler's show with an autistic girl and her sweaty protector?! And don't touch me! If you're all as sick as you say, you'll get me sick, and I don't want to be sick." Karkat flung his bag at the wall and hopped over the couch, landing on her shins. Nepeta giggled and yanked them out from under him. She then proceeded to turn around and curl up next to him, resting her head in his lap. Karkat groaned and slammed his head into the back of the couch.
"I have brought the human ice cream." Equius stated as he walked in. He sat in front of the couch, which was probably for the best, seeing as he might've broken the couch had he sat on it. He had three large cartons of ice cream and held them in front of himself. "We have Death By Chocolate, Cherry Explosion, and Blue Berry Salad."
Before anyone could protest, Equius popped the lid off the Blue Berry Salad, licked a spoon, and stuck the spoon in it. He grinned triumphantly at them, and said:
"The Brother Strider has informed me that this is the way all cultured humans claim their food." Karkat stared at him.
"No, dude, these Striders are freaking weird, that is not how you…" Katkat drifted off. He was wasting his breath. Equius wouldn't take his word over the word of Bro Strider. "You know what? Whatever, give me the chocolate one."
"No," Stated Equius. "Nepeta chooses first."
"You mean after you?" Karkat sneered.
"I know for a fact that Nepeta does not like the blue ice cream. I requested this one from the Brother Strider, so it is mine regardless, but if Nepeta asked for it, I would give it to her." Equius offered the ice cream to Nepeta.
"And besides," Equius continued. "You would've had more choices had you arrived sooner. Because you took so long, Dave and Terezi had a chance to 'raid' the ice cream and took the good ones."
"But not the blue berry garbage?"
"Dave and Terezi informed me earlier of their distaste for my particular choice of ice cream. I knew it was safe from them." Said Equius. Nepeta grabbed the cherry flavored ice cream. She handed the chocolate to Karkat.
"I like the red ones." She explained as Equius gave her a surprised look. "And Terezi usually takes those. But I asked her to leave a carton for me when we were roleplaying earlier. Now quiet, the show's starting soon!"
Nepeta flipped on the T.V. Equius and Nepeta glued their eyes to the screen and Karkat moaned.

Karkat watched in horror as kitten danced across the screen, adventuring around and growing up. At the end of the show, Equius flipped the T.V. to another channel and Karkat was forced to watch a documentary about horses. He decided that this was the worst spent day of his time on earth. Or maybe the second worst, right after the all-day Nic Cage marathon John and Vriska had put him through.
Karkat watched as the credits rolled. He glanced down. Nepeta was fast asleep. In front of the couch, Equius was also asleep. They were both snoring a little. Equius was actually a quiet sleeper, to Karkat's surprise. Maybe it was because he was sick.
Karkat shifted, trying to get Nepeta's head off of him. He twisted his hips, and tried to scoot out from under her. Nope, no way that was happening without waking her up. She woke up anyway, however.
"Aww, are you leaving already, Karkitty?" She asked, rubbing some sleep from her eyes. Karkat hesitated. He was really afraid of catching their flue. He sighed, he probably already had it.
"Yeah, I'll miss my flight." He said, running a hand through her hair. Nepeta grabbed his wrist and sat up. She pulled him down, and he complied, sitting next to her. He put his leg up on the couch, so he was facing Nepeta, who was kneeling on it.
"Karkitty?" She asked.
"Yeah?"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, yeah."
Nepeta leaned in close, right next to his ear.
"Will you be my Matesprit?"
Nepeta pulled away. She was flushing a bright green, and it looked a little painful. Karkat watched her for a moment. Her face fell and she looked down.
"S-sorry." She whispered. Karkat could feel his face growing warm. "You came and were so nice to me, and then I just went and blew it. I'm sorry."
Karkat reached out a hand and tilted her face up.
"Nepeta…" He began. He could see a tear in the corner of her eye. "Nepeta, of course I'll be your Matesprit."
Shock raced over her face, then incomprehensible joy. Karkat ignored her and went on.
"You think I'd just waltz over to Texas from Washington to spend the day with a sick girl, put up with Equius, and eat cheap ice cream when I didn't even like her?" Karkat crossed his arms. "But I mean, what sort of stupid question is that? We're practically Matesprits already. Are you that retarded? Can you not even tell-Oof!"
Karkat was tackled pounced. He sighed and wrapped his arms around the practically glowing girl. There was no doubt he was going to get sick.

~TIME SKIP~

Karkat sat in the Strider's dining room, with a blanket wrapped around his body. He sniffled and dug his spoon into the ice cream container. He couldn't even taste the ice cream, for which he as grateful. It was Equius's blue ice cream, and from what Karkat could taste, he was pretty sure the only reason Equius ate it was that it was blue. Karkat was also pretty sure that John would find it hilarious that Dad Egbert had banned him from coming back to Washington until he was better, lest he bring back sickness.

Nepeta tapped happily on her keyboard. Well, Bro's keyboard.

AC: *The furendly cat appreciates the fatherbeasts banishment of the angry crab*
DE: You are most welcome, cat-alien. Congratulations on getting a troll boyfriend. I'll bake a cake and send it over.


So, how was it? For those of you wondering, DE stands for dadEgbert. Also, who likes lame chapter names? No one? *Narrows eye* Well that's what you get when you write for hours straight. Kiddos, drink your milk, eat your broccoli, and take a break from writing.

*Navi voice* Hey! You there! Post a review and tell the author how's she's doing!
