I finally finished typing it up. *sighs with relief* Now for Chapter 5 and to work on Chapter 6. Oh jeez. That's going to be lovely. Especially since I have 8 or so day left of school. Summer Break is such a joy.


Chapter 4:

John's Point of View

I wince ever so slightly at this, but I should be used to this. Right?
~What's gotten into him? This is soooooooo isn't normal. ~
His face is screwed up with his everyday anger.
"Gog," He grits his teeth, tightening his grip, and then he releases my shoulders.
Karkat spins around on his feet to start pacing again. All the bystanders begin yo walk away and this "fight", or whatever it was, is over. I sigh, picking up the bag he made me drop.
"Whatever. I'm telling you now that I never knew it sold buckets. And this," I held up the bag with the blue logo on it. "I don't even know what it is. And I don't even care about it, but I just wanted to know to you were not going to be harmed by that big meanie of a manager. I just explained myself to you about talking to him. It's wrong to even," I shudder at the thought. "Flirt with someone his age. Jeesh.. Pedophilia Karkar." I softly lecture, knowing what response I'll get from him.
More yelling. "...pedo what?" I blink at the question.
Normal tone. Well, not normal to Karkat but normal for me and others.
~What the-? ~
"Is that another one of your stupid non-explainable human words?" Karkat asks in a soft, yet creepy, tone.
"Uh, yeah. It means-"
"I didn't ask that." He said.
I sigh quietly and throw my hands up in the air. "Okay. Fineeeeeeee." I put both my hands down and grip the plastic bag, walking down the sidewalk.
"Egbert... wait up!" Karkat shouts as I hear footsteps rush towards me.
I turn to look at him as I walk and notice his face still candy red. That makes me smile.

Karkat's Point of View

~Gog. This IS NOT happening. This stupid Egderp made MY BLOOD COLOR show! ~
My face heats up and I look away, grumbling. I grab Egbert's hand as we walk. He laughs softly, probably thinking I can't hear. The pathetic human shitheads watch us from the other side of the "street". Gog...can't these things have simpler words to understand?
"Where do you want to go now, Karkar?" Egbert asks in his derpy, annoying voice.
How did I fall for HIM? I shrug.
"I don't know what your flashy, florescent, disgusting stores are called." My stomach gurgles.
He laughs. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY?" I shout, squeezing his hand tight.
He laughs again and slips his hand from my grip. His face holds his derpy smile.
"Ooooooooh nothing, just that your stomach is funny when you're hungry. Hmm. Come to think of it, I'm hungry too. Soooooooo, how about…" He points to the shop with two huge golden arches.
~What the-? ~
"McDonalds?" I raise an eyebrow at him.
"Miiiiiiccckkkkdunolds? The FUCK is THAT? Some nasty nooksnuffer home?" It has to be some joke.
Seriously! What FUCKASS would name IT THAT?! I sigh, irritated. Human. The problem of this universe. Too bad that I'm SURROUNDS by them.
~Ugh. What caused this to happen? ~
A shadow whips into vision, rapidly moving.
"Kaaaaaaaarkaaaaaaaat!"
"What the hell?" I grab the shadow, stopping it, and quickly realize I only grabbed John's wrist.
I look in his eyes from behind his big, goofy human glass lens. He glances away and his eyes follow something like a pawbeast.
"What a weird boy."
"Are they fighting?"
"What is wrong with that boy?"
"Is that a gay couple?"
Voices arose from human watchers. Fuck. I look around, releasing John's wrist, as I growl.
"Eww. What a nasty sound."
"Freak."
"Nerds."
I clench my fists. Humans. My skin crawls every time one moves past us. Looking back to him, I notice he's looking down. How the hell do human expressions and thoughts CHANGE so fucking fast?

John's Point of View

Staring at my shoes, I replay the harsh words.
~Freak. Nerd. Gay. ~
hy do they haunt me from school? I sniffle and gently grab Karkat's hand.
"Come on… Let's just got eat." My voice, which isn't working already, cracks.
I pull him gently as I walk down the sidewalk to McDonalds.

Karkat's Point of View

I observe his actions. Weak movements, cracking voice, the depressing atmosphere. Something is bothering me –this- human. My matesprit shouldn't be sad.
~If I find out it was ALL because of these HUMAN SHITHEADS, I'm personally going to make them CRY TO THEIR LUSUS! ~
Earth. A disgusting planet I have to stand just be with John. Gog. I follow him through the "doors" and instantly small something different. A burning Moo-beast?
"Sooooooo, this is McDonalds. What do you want to eat?" John asks as he pulls me to a line.
I snort, now crossing my arms. "Egbert. You choose. I do not know any of those names. NOR do I KNOW the taste." His face lights up with his derpy smile, another quick emotion change.
Gog. It boggles me still. He steps close and embraces me in a human hug.
"Ugh… why the hell do you do this, Egbert?" John lets go and steps back.
"Because I want to." He responds.
I roll my eyes. Something then tugs on the back of my shirt. I growl.
"Who the FUCK is doing that?!" I turn around to see a human girl wriggler.
She flinches and her blue orbs water up.
"Mommy! Mommy!" She runs to her "guardian" and grabs a hold of her. "I-it's a monster!" The girl wriggler cries out in an ANNOYING AS FUCK voice.
I roll my eyes at that comment. "Oh yes! I, a fucking troll on this nasty planet, am the monster." I slip sarcasm in there to get the wriggler to shut up. "Karkat-" Egbert's voice starts but pain is all received.

John's Point of View

I gasp at the sight of the mother slapping Karkat. The whole restaurant goes silent and watches.
~Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Please don't snap. Please don't snap! ~
"How rude! You need to watch your language and your tone! There are children around!" The mother shouts, a protective arm around her child who is in tears.
"Oh? Well maybe your wriggler could-" I step in front of Karkat and nervously smiles.
It cuts him off, which is a relief. I look at the mother.
"I-I'm so sorry for his behavior ma'am. He isn't very well and doesn't like children much." I attempt to apologize as I hear him growl and mumble from behind.
Her facial expression doesn't change though. I sigh.
"Sorry ma'am." I say.
"Um… I can help the next person in line." The cashier comments.
I step aside, pulling Karkat with me and gestures for the mother to go ahead. I hear him growl again.
"Here ma'am, go before us. That's the least I can do."
"What are you-" I cover his mouth as I nervously smiles at her.
She, in a way, glares at us and then walks up past us.
"At least one of you boys has manners." She hisses towards Karkat.
He bites my hand, causing me to yelp in slight pain. I pull my hands away from him and rub it.
"Why- You- UGH. Just. This. Once. Egbert." He mumbles loudly.
I shake my hand out and frown. Someone clears their throat, drawing my attention to the front.
"Next?" the cashier asks.
I nod. Karkat, as a result, pushes me forward to the counter.
"Don't take all fucking day Egbert!"
