== Nepeta: Wake up!

You can't wake up just yet, it's far too soon after the incident to do that!

== Nepeta: Just be Karkat instead and get this over with.

You're Karkat Vantas and oh damn it there's an unconscious Nepeta on your doorstep. You take a moment to survey her limp form before deciding to do the most sensible option: get her inside. You consider just dragging her in by her ankles... nah, that's too cruel. You bend over and slide an arm under her knees and let the other cradle her head and neck, in an awkward bridal-style carry. She is, as previously stated, quite limp. God. Fucking. Damnit. You carry her into your hive, gently shutting the door behind you. After a few moments of shuffling around with her aimlessly, you lay her on the couch, propping her head up on the left armrest. She breathes slowly but evenly, and you're glad of that. You walk to the other side of the couch and gently slide off her rambunctiously high heels. Huh, she almost looks as though she wanted to impress someone. You, as usual, just shrug it off and set the shoes on the floor near your front door. You can't help but notice the light sound of her breathing echoing slightly around the room. In its own way, it's quite comforting. You let out a totally not dreamy sigh and head back over to her. She's mumbling a bit now, and beginning to curl up in one of her little meowbeast-type balls. You let her, and soon enough she's wrapped up tight and mumbling her sweet nothings. You're... well, you really aren't quite sure what to do next, honestly. You decide to troll Kanaya and ask her what to do.

CG: KANAYA.

CG: KANAYA I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP.

CG: IT'S AN EMERGENCY. I THINK NEPETA'S HURT.

CG: ARE YOU EVEN THERE?

CG: COME ON KANAYA, ANSWER ME.

CG: YOU'RE WITH ROSE AGAIN, AREN'T YOU.

CG: YOU KNOW WHAT, FINE.

CG: JUST GET ON HERE WHEN YOU'RE DONE DOING WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE DOING, OKAY.

MINUTES IN THE PAST, BUT NOT MANY:

Finally, your part in the story has come up once again. You're at your hive with your matesprit, none other than one Rose Lalonde. And you're reading. Sigh. Of all things she wants do with you in your alone time, she wants to read. You understand, though. She's spent many nights up late talking to John about his girl troubles, and giving him little tips and tricks on how to woo Vriska. He's lucky to have her as a moirail, you'll admit, though they prefer to use the term "close friends." But you just know they're pale for each other. You can see it in their eyes. Anyway, you're still a bit upset about the lack of pail-related activities taking place. You decide to make things a bit interesting, and scoot a bit closer to her, resting your head on her shoulder. Hm. Nothing. You inch your hand a bit closer to her leg. She doesn't seem to notice. You lean forward, and plant a light kiss on her cheek. There we go, you have her attention now. She's staring at you with those beautiful lavender eyes, and you can't help but smile. You raise an eyebrow, and she thinks for a moment before giving you a slight nod. Finally. She sits up, and you admire her figure for a moment, and her graceful movements. Oh, gosh, you're excited. You stand up and shuffle to the door, peeking out and making sure no one else is wandering around, even though you're pretty sure that the two of you are the only ones on LOLAR. You don't want anyone ruining this. Satisfied with what you see, you gently close the door, turning around and looking back at R-oh damn she's already got her shirt and hood off. You blush, looking down at the ground and biting your lip a bit.

"Kanaya, come back over here." She was always a bit more dominant, and you like that about her. You do as you're told and take a few steps toward her, looking up once again. Wow she's gorgeous.

== Kanaya: Be Rose.

You'd be lying if you said you didn't expect this. You knew Kanaya was going to be looking for sex, and you prepared yourself for it. Earlier that morning, you had made the decision to don the gorgeous jade and black lace bra and panty set that she had designed for you, and, needless to say, this set definitely showed off your glorious assets up top. Not that you needed the extra lift, you are pretty stacked as it is. But this helps. A lot. You leaned back on your couch, and patted your stomach, as if to signal her to come up on top of you. She complies, and straddles your waist, a bit shakily. You have got to teach her how to be less nervous about these things later. She leans over to give you a kiss on the cheek- wait, hold on, what's that...? She stops, apparently she heard it too. It sounds like the sound of your Pesterchum application. Oh my goodness, it is. Wonderful. It beeps a few more times, and Kanaya looks at you worriedly.

"I'd... I'd better go check that." She climbs off of you, scurrying over to her husktop. You really wish you hadn't told her to bring it. She stares at the screen for a moment, before letting out a low groan and shutting it.

"Kanaya," you inquire, "what is it?"

"There's an emergency at Karkat's hive. I must get going." She looks at you sadly and starts packing up her things.

"Are you sure...? We were having so much fun here..."

"I'm positive. I promise that I will come back, and we can have alone time then, alright?" You nod, and she puts on her jacket.

== Rose: Be Kanaya.

You are Kanaya Maryam and you really need to get the hell out of here before Karkat ends up accidentally killing Nepeta. You give your lovely matesprit a final wave before zapping right out of LOLAR, heading off to Karkat's planet with a flash of green.

Author's note: Wow it's been a while since I've updated. I am so sorry about that. Oh well. Someone PM'ed me asking about adding in some Rosemary, and, well, there you go! (Im a horrible person I'm so sorry you'll get your full Rosemary later I promise) Sorry about the cliffhangers I keep putting in. It's more fun being suspenseful in my eyes :D So here you are. I should be updating more frequently now, so expect a new chapter in a few days. And keep the reviews coming! Good reviews, bad reviews, I love any and all input. Each one makes me get all warm and fuzzy inside. :3
