I though I'd give you guys a chapter even though my week has been really crappy .
Read on~
I would have stayed in bed all day and night for a month, but unfortunately, there was a series of follow up parties to the wedding. Just great.
I rolled out of bed to find a dozen missed calls and at least thirty texts from Sollux, but I ignored them all. I dialed Gamzee's number, even though it was only 7 am.
"Hey Karbro." He said in a flat tone. I sighed, assuming he was still mad at me.
"Look, Gam, I know you're mad. But can you please cover for me and tell people I'm sick?" I asked him in a desperate tone.
"Alright." He said, and I hung up. I flopped back into bed and pulled the covers on, falling asleep once more.
My dreams were filled with giant, angry bees chasing me with poisonous stingers and Gamzee dressed in a suit and shaking his head slowly, solemnly. I woke up nearly screaming as the bees overpowered me.
Still shaking, I headed into the kitchen and splashed my face with water. I glanced out the window and jumped when I saw a familiar red car parked outside. Quickly shutting off the kitchen light, I scurried into my room and closed the door.
Sure enough, I heard a loud pounding and Sollux's voice demanding, "KK? Let me in. I know you're in there."
I put a pillow over my head and tried to drown out his voice. Tears formed in my eyes. I was a pathetic, sniveling mess. Eventually the banging stopped and I lifted my head to listen. There was no sound.
I stayed thee for another half hour, just in case he was still there, and then got up to make myself breakfast. I slowly ate a bowl of cereal and curled onto the couch, pulling a blanket over me. I just wanted to stay there forever but of course, fate had other ideas.
About two hours later, Gamzee aroused me. His purple eyes studied me closely as I groggily rubbed my eyes and muttered, "Hnnhg?"
"You have to up and go to this dinner tonight." He whispered, stroking my hair gently. I shook my head but he shook my shoulders, frowning a little.
"John personally requested you there." Gamzee picked me up, much to my surprise, and dropped me in the bathroom. I yelled in outrage and found he had barred the door.
"Take a shower, Karbro."
I could tell he was grinning. I screeched a cuss word at him through the door but stripped down and turned on the shower. I let the warm water pour over my body and sighed. I wasn't looking forward to seeing Sollux again. He probably hated me anyway. The thought made my eyes water and I was glad I was in the shower.
When I was done, I wrapped the towel around me and peered outside. Gamzee was passed out on my couch. Typical stoner. I rolled my eyes and headed to my bedroom, where I pulled on a hoodie and a pair of jeans.
The party wasn't until later, so I threw a blanket over Gamzee and left the house. I headed for the park, where I sat on a bench near the pond and watched the little ducks quack and wade in the water.
Happy, laughing couples walked by, and I felt my throat close up. My eyes stung, but I refused to cry. I wouldn't. I could be strong, and overcome this, right?
Of course I couldn't. I had to face the fact that I was falling for Sollux. And fast too.
I sighed a little, and once the sun had rose up in the sky to the point where it was actually becoming hot, I headed back to my house. Gamzee was still snoring on my couch, so I turned the lights off and locked myself away in my bedroom.
I stared at Sollux's number, wanting to call him so bad but also too afraid of what he might say,
I did some paperwork and bills and messed around for a bit before my phone rang, I picked up without looking at the screen.
"KK?"
I froze, not daring to even breath as I slowly moved the phone away from my ear.
"KK, I know you're there!"
His voice was snappy and irritated and I felt like throwing the phone across the room. With great speed I moved my finger towards the end button.
"Please, KK, I don't know why—"
Beeeeeeeep.
I dropped my phone and drew my knees to my chest, feeling shaky. This feeling was new to me, and I hated it. Heartbreak sucked. I sighed and stood up, deciding to end this little pity fest by waking up my idiot of a friend.
"Gamzee frickin Makara, wake up!" I hissed in his ear and shook him hard. He snored even louder and rolled to the side. I pushed him back so he didn't fall and groaned. Sitting next to him, I had to smile fondly at him and rub his back. Even though I had been a horrible friend he was still here for me.
When he woke up, I was watching some drama on a low volume, eating chips. He snagged a few and sat up.
"Get your own." I snapped and held the bag away from him. he chuckled a little and stretched, yawning. He joined me in the watching of the sappy drama, which I did not cry over. Of course I didn't.
Eventually Gamzee turned of the TV and turned to me with a questioning look. I gave him a scowl in return, wanting to watch the drama some more, but he wasn't up for it.
"So, when are you going to tell him?" he asked ne nonchalantly.
"Tell who what?" I gave him a confused look.
"Tell Solbro you love him."
I choked on the chip I had just popped into my mouth. He grinned and patted my back to keep me from dying of some god damn unholy death by chips.
"Excuse me?" I narrowed my eyes once I had caught my breath.
"You heard me." He cocked an eyebrow, challenging me. I thought over my next words and decided it would be best for Gamzee not to get involved.
"You need to back the hell up, Gam. I don't love him. it's a simple crush." I stated simply.
"So simple that you ran away from a wedding?"
Damn. He got me there. I chose to huff and turn away from him
"Ok, ok, brother. I'm up and done. But there's something you need to motherf*ckin know about the party." He spoke in a serious tone.
"What?" I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at him.
"Since Johnbro is Johnbro, he's decided to have a costume party." Gamzee explained.
"And I already have an outfit picked out for you." He winked, and I internally groaned. I was already dreading this stupid party tings were going to go majorly wrong, I knew.
Do you guys know what I'm thinking of for Karkat's costume? Hehe XD
Also, leave some costume ideas for the other characters as well!
