"Cool, how old is he?" I looked at Jade, her dress complemented her curves perfectly. I can tell she really cares about her kid. He sounds like a pretty cool kid.
"He's only five." Jade grinned from ear to ear. She seems so happy. She looked so adorable like she did back in high school.
"He sounds pretty awesome."
"He is. So what've you been up to?"
"Not much, I've been designing websites with Sollux. Other than that, not much." God I felt my heart beat faster, she smiled at me!
"Oh, that sounds interesting. What type of websites do you guys make?"
"Small business and dating websites."
"Hey, do you want to skip this fancy place and go somewhere else?" I felt my self start to smile at her, she was sheepishly smiling and blushing at her napkin. Her long black hair had fallen in her face.
"Totally." With one look, one word, I changed everything between us. Our eyes met and we were off, we left fifteen dollars at the table and left out the door.
"So what do you want to do first Karkat?" I blushed.
"I don't care. As long as I'm with you, I'm fine." I looked her in the eyes and took her hands in the street. "You know, I never thought that I'd ever get a change with you, but here it is. Staring me in the face. Jade, I love you and I never want to loose you."
"Karkat, I love you too. Let's go somewhere."
Jade P.O.V
Karkat's eyes were gleaming with warm love as he looked at her and held her hands. Jade felt the rush of warmness flow though her body. She still loved him. Surprise also took her as she realized this. After nine years, she still loved him. She smiled warmly back at him, still holding his hand, she started walking towards the candy shop at the end of the block. The two had always eaten, sold, and baked with candy, so it only seemed logical she would go there. Karkat just raised an eyebrow and went along with her. As soon as the couple walked though the door Jade smelled the wonderful aroma of mints and chocolate.
"Karkat! Do you remember everything we did with candy?" Jade let go of his hand, which caused a painful pang in both of their hearts.
"Yeah, I remember we used to sit on the bus with a ton of peppermints and we'd have a lot of fun." He laughed, "Your favorite was always the more fruity candies."
Jade playfully shoved him. "Oh so you do remember! Your favorites were the mints." The two played around until the shop keeper was telling them it was closing time.
"Before we leave I'd like to get something. Stay here with your eyes closed." Karkat left Jade and picked out chewy cherry candies and a few mint lifesavers. He picked them out and played for them. On his way out, he took Jade's hand and walked out of the cozy, warm, sweet store and into the stormy street.
"Can I open my eyes?" Jade giggled.
"Yes." Jade opened her eyes and felt overwhelming joy at the bag that karkat had bought. She hugged him and closed her eyes. Karkat wrapped his arms around her and contently closed his eyes with Jade. After a minute both of them were soaked with rainwater. Jade laughed and broke the hug.
"Karkat, thank you." Karkat took out a few of his mints and handed the bag to Jade.
"Here, it's your's. So jade, what are we now?"
"Together I guess. I better call Rose."
"Good idea. Let's wait in Black Butler." Jade nodded and took out her phone.
"Hi Rose! Um, can you come pick karkat and I up? We're still at the BB." Jade hung up the phone and looked at karkat. She was soaking wet, cold, but in love. She smiled and leaned against Karkat. By this time they were stilling on those little benches in the front of the dinning area. She stuck in one of the cherry chews that they had bought and closed her eyes while Karkat wrapped his arms around her.
"Jade." Karkat and Rose said in a singsong voice in an attempt to wake he sleeping girl. Jade sat up and looked at her surroundings. She was still in the Black Butler with Karkat, Rose had just showed up to take them home. In a sleepy haze she walked guided to the car. She got in the back seat and drifted back to sleep.
"What did you do? Get her so drunk she can't remember herself?" Rose asked.
"I did no suck thing! We didn't drink the whole time!" Karkat whisper yelled.
"Yeah, riiiight." Rose rolled her eyes and said so in a very sarcastic voice. Soon they were at Jade's apartment and they had to wake Jade once more.
"Come on we're at your house." Jade smiled and kissed Karkat on the lips before going to her room and went to bed.
