Kankri woke up to a rather obnoxious ringtone of his phone, one that couldn't be mistaken for anyone other than Karkat's. Kankri tiredly reached his hand over to his nightstand and picked up his phone. The caller ID in fact was Karkat, Kankri flipped open the phone and put it to his ear.
"Hello?" Kankri asks tiredly.
"Fina-fucking-ly god were you seriously still sleeping? You like fucking wake up at fucking 5 in the morning!" Karkat yelled through the phone causing Kankri to hold it two inches from himself.
"Yes well I was tired, what do you want Karkat? Unless you just want to talk?"
"No, god no. I mean, it's not like I don't want to talk to you, it's just, yeah I called for a reason okay? Well more like two reasons, first, that dumbass newly ex boyfriend of yours is looking for you."
Kankri sighed, "Yes I am aware." he rubbed the bridge of his nose, "And?"
"And it was weird okay? He looked pissed."
"No I meant, what is the other thing you wanted to talk to me about?"
Karkat went silent for a minute before deciding to answer, "Yeah so, I was wondering if you wanted to have lunch with me. Well not just me..." He sighed, "So you know how we were talking and I told you I was dating someone and you said you wanted to meet him?"
"Are you saying you want me to meet him today?"
"Don't interrupt."
"I was just-"
"Kankri!"
Kankri laughed slightly to himself, "Sorry, please, go on."
"Well yeah, I want you to meet him or whatever. Just get your ass down to the diner!"
"And which diner would that be?"
"Ugh I don't know, just a diner."
"How about, instead of lunch, we go for coffee? You could come over here and have coffee and see my new apartment?"
There was a pause of silence before Karkat answered, "Fine, I guess that'll work."
"Good see you in... What time is it?"
"About twelve thirty."
"See you in an hour, sound all right?"
"Yeah whatever, I'll go wake his ass up then."
"Goodbye."
"Yeah see ya."
"I love you."
"Whatever."
"I love you." He repeated.
"Yeah.. I love you too, now shut up." Karkat mumbled.
Kankri shut his phone and got out of bed, so it was 12:30, okay that was a bit late. But hey, it's not like he had work that day. He had three days off, well one more day counting tomorrow. Kankri walked to his dresser as he slapped his cheeks trying to rid himself of sleep. He pulled out a red sweater and black skinny jeans before taking a towel. Kankri walked into his bathroom and took a short shower before putting his new clothes on. He quickly texted Karkat the address of the coffee house knowing Karkat would ask any minute anyway.
Kankri looked around the apartment before realizing that Kurloz wasn't around. He figured Kurloz was probably went down stairs to open the shop. Kankri walked down the stairs to the coffee shop. But the person behind the counter wasn't Kurloz. They looked like him, but they were obviously younger. He had facepaint all over his face and looked really relaxed.
The boy behind the counter looked over at Kankri and smiled.
"Yo Karbro. What are you doin here?" The boy asked.
Kankri raised an eyebrow, "I'm sorry to inform you, I'm not Karkat if that is who you're referring to."
The boy's eyebrows widened, "Whoa motherfucker, you ain't Karbro, you look exactly like that short little bro."
"As I should, we are siblings. You look like your brother as well." Kankri assumed the two were siblings.
"Yeah I know..." the other's smile fell a bit. Kankri assumed this was a touchy subject.
"It's not like you don't have your own individuality though. Like your make up."
His smile just grew more, "Thanks motherfucker, you and karbro look different too, like you're shorter than him."
Kankri didn't know if that was a compliment or not, but he took it as one. "Thank you. Now have you seen-" The door to the shop opened before Kankri could finish, revealing Karkat and another boy in the doorway.
The boy behind Karkat had blond hair and sunglasses, his jacket was red and his jeans were black, his shirt that completed the outfit had a broken record on it. Kankri looked at the boy for a minute, judging him first by his appearance. He seemed like the kind of guy who thought he was cool, oh no, Kankri would not have that for his little brother.
Better hope Dave can score some points with Kankri for approval ;) I had some time and I figured I would write another chapter :D I'll try to make my next update soon, but I got some big tests coming up so... I'll try my best! Thanks :3
