Nepeta spent all day trying to find out who was at her door when she was painting her ships, she was unsuccessful until she found Karkat and Tavros arguing. She hid for a second and listened in.
"No, I like her more than you." Came the voice of the grumpy cancerous troll, obviously upset with Tavros' for gaining the courage to ask some lucky person out. Nepeta forced a smile. On one side she wanted Tavros all to herself and on the other he was finally getting enough courage to find a Matesprit.
Tavros straightened up a slight annoyance coming over his features, "You decide this after how long?," The moment he said this Karkat looked as if he had recieved a blow, "She was flushed for you since we were all grubs and all you ever seemed to do was brush her aside, call her crazy, ignore her, or openly blast her hobbies in front of everyone. She will always remember that. Does that sound like a good matesprit to you? One who constantly picked on the other until one day the other decided to change? Until the other decided to wear more flattering clothing and do her hair? Until the other learned to have an attitude to rival your own? No. That's not a good relationship. I only told you that I'm asking her out to be fair since she likes you too, but I honestly think you gave up your chance that time when we were all 3 sweeps and you pushed her down and called her a freak."
Nepeta gaped at Tavros, who else could he be talking about but her? Karkat had only pushed her down when they were three sweeps. Back then he only knew two troll girls and those were her and Terezi. She smiled, they were fighting over her. She frowned, She was causing fights between people who almost never talked. she got up and walked in. She almost laughed at how guilty both boys looked.
"Tafuros! I've been looking fur you!" Nepeta grinned ignoring Mr. Vantas completely.
"Uh, Yeah, Nepeta?" The now flusterd tauros troll asked nervously.
"I want you to accompany me on my furst efur redrom date!" Nepeta squealed hugging Tavros, Both males jaws dropped. However they expected this argument to be resolved it wasn't this.
Tavros smiled, eyes wide in shock, "Of course I will."
Later that evening, when Nepeta returned to her room, the smell of paint remover could be smelt all over the room. One figure left the wall... Nepeta just hoped she had made the right decision and that it wouldn't come back to haunt her. Three ships resided on her wall: Equius x WV, Aradia x Sollux, Nepeta x Tavros.
