I really like this song a lot and I figured it was something that needed to be in here. Yes, the romance is finally here. Lastly, Karkat's house is like mine on the inside. So now it's time for a bit more drama and craziness in this story.
You had been out of the hospital for a week. You were staying in San Francisco at Karkat's house. Turns out he lived fairly close to John and Karkat. His dad was mostly off on business trips. You were stuck here with his older brother Kankri. You had no idea how you had known him when you were in the coma but what did you know anymore.
You had been working around the fact that you no longer had your voice. You missed being able to laugh out loud or singing to your favorite song. You didn't mind missing your past. The only thing is you didn't know where your hometown was. How were you going to find your mom? You hated what John had told you about her but this was the best you could do.
You constantly had paper and a pen with you to write. Today you felt nervous. Dave and John were meeting you after all of this time. You felt a little worried because everything you knew about Dave had been in Sburb. Even worse you had dated Davesprite. This was going to be complicated. Gamzee's older brother was also coming to meet you today. You knew he was mute and like you had been able to talk.
Sburb was going to keep messing with your head. All you knew was the thirteen or so years you had been in while in the coma. You still felt like you were thirteen but you were physically eighteen. It was near Valentines your birthday had been in January. You didn't feel like you missed it. All you knew was being the Harley girl.
You heard the bell. You would have walked over to get it except you still couldn't walk after laying down so much. You expected to see Kurloz, Gamzee, John, or Dave. It was none of those people. It was Terezi. You slapped the couch, trying to get Karkat's attention. Karkat slammed the door in Terezi's face and walked over to you.
"What is it?" he asked. "I want to write to Terezi. I need to let her know a few things. I just hope she's still out there," you wrote.
"You want to talk to an evil cheating shitsponge? Are you crazy? There is now way I'm letting you see that evil twisted-" you stopped his rant by grabbing his arm. You continued writing. "What I want to say to her is about all of that. I'm angry but it's in the past. I just want to know why she did all of this. I punched her and that would make anybody mad, but this is too far. She could have killed me. I hate her for it. I just need somebody I can trust."
You stopped writing. How would anybody understand? You didn't feel the same for everyone like you did. You had dated an imaginary Davesprite and Karkat was your patron troll. Not to mention you found out John was technically your brother in your mind. You looked at Karkat. He was sitting next to you with the same sad look in his eyes. His face was too close.
You blushed, where was your mind going? You couldn't just... was he coming closer. He gave you a quick kiss. "I'm sorry," he said. You didn't know this Karkat unlike the one in your head. You didn't care. You kissed him again. "Don't beat yourself up. The only thing that can hurt me any more now is the fact that you're hurting. Now stop beating yourself up so I can stop worrying about you."
You turned on the t.v with the remote next to you. You stared at the t.v thinking of what to watch. You didn't want to watch a romcom. You ended up switching the input to the gaming system. You grabbed the nearest controller off the coffee table and started playing. It was an rpg. You kept playing only for Karkat to join in. You spent most of the afternoon playing the game.
Nobody ever showed up but you wouldn't have noticed anyways. You kept laughing your silent laughter at every growl Karkat made at the enemies on the game. You loved being around him in the real world. He wasn't as nice in your head. You kept on playing until you finally had to stop. Kankri was ranting about how it was triggering how you and Karkat never stopped playing. You tried to get Karkat to stop playing.
You ended up in a small fight over the controler. You ended up winning but Karkat wasn't really trying. You smiled with a bit of a shock that you got a returning one. The smiles didn't last. Terezi was back.
This one's a bit more short than usual but as you can see, the reader's dialogue isn't ending. It'll just be in italics, to show it was written. So I need reviews, who do you want the reader to meet next other than Terezi? Dave, John, Kurloz or a combination? It's all up to you guys. Thanks for the support on this story.
