You turn away as the sun sets, stretching the shadows far beyond proportion. "I'm sorry."
Walking back to the car you quietly hear, "sh3's 4 lucky g1rl. don't you d4r3 hurt h3r, or else 1'm go1ng to b34t th3 h3ll out of you."
"I'll die before I let that happen," shutting the door to the car as you get in. "Kankri, to the warehouse please." The engine starts and you pull off into the newly-made night
You thought you were done drinking because of the accident, but now you need a glass of vodka more than anything. You get into your office and close the door behind you, open up your closet of booze and grab your largest bottle of vodka. The best way to start recovering from anything.
Also now you were going to have to start thinking of what you were going to say to Nepeta. Shitlicking dickshit, this is going to be a pain in the ass. Should you do it tonight while you're on a roll of getting things done or wait till the pain of having to turn down Terezi passes? Maybe since you've already started on the vodka it would be better to wait…
That's the moment you hear a knock on your door. You hope to the damn asshat god of asshats that it's your brother the asshat and not Nepeta. "6r9ther," thank you god of asshats for this asshat blessing, "Nepeta was w9ndering if y9u were feeling up t9 visit9rs, since y9u just g9t 9ut 9f the h9spital. I'd suggest that y9u see her n9w." You and the god of asshats were going to have a fucking discussion about this later.
"YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M ONLY A LITTLE BIT FUCKING DRUNK, GO AHEAD AND SEND HER IN ASSHAT." You swear you almost see Kankri smiling as he turn out the door to get Nepeta, asshat.
You watch the door open slowly, and see Nepeta's head poke in, "hey karkitty, I heard you were out of the clawspital, I was uh, just wondering how you were doing…" she walks in the door while she's speaking.
"Uh, yeah, I'm doing better, much better. I've even gotten some stuff that I've been meaning to do for a long time done. Yeah, that whole near death experience can really shake one up into doing things, sorry fuck I'm rambling" You may be long winded sometimes but you have no intention of becoming your asshat of a brother.
"im glad youre okay, i guess ill leave you be now…"
"Hey Nepeta, I know you said "when you said that I'd, 'find out one day or another,' what were you going to say?"
"oh hehehe I'm not fur if telling you while purr drunk is a good idea…" she blushes and laughs nervously, not looking you in the eyes.
"Look at it this way, if it doesn't get the reaction you're looking for, I'm probably not going to remember *hic* and you can try again later," you're not actually that drunk yet, but you play it up to make it seem more convincing.
She looks as if she might just walk out, but steels herself and turns to look you in the eyes, "karkat, i… i love you."
"I love you too." The words are out of my mouth before the words are even done coming out of her mouth. "I'm sorry it took me so long to come to this, I've loved you for a long time. And between you and me, I'm not actually that drunk," A gentle smile's on your face as you say this.
You see tears in her eyes while she's smiling, until she leaps over your desk at you shouting, "KARKITTY! :33," and you both tumble onto the ground on your chair. The next thing you're aware of is being hugged tightly, so much so that it hurts and is making your head go a little bit light.
"I love you Nepeta, but *gasp* I did just get out of the hospital for a serious *hack* injury," you barely manage to get out while still smiling.
"of course silly! that's why i wasn't hugging you that hard hehehe," she giggled out as she releases you from what surely would have been the death of you. Then you both just burst out laughing and sprawl out on the floor, enjoying the moment.
