I suck, you can hate me
Chapter 8: In which we reach the stand-by
Karkat lifts his head and finds a surprised pair of violet eyes, pale hands are on his face almost immediately and he doesn't know how to act
"Uhm, no need to panic but you eyez are changing" said Robin
He's suddenly glad she has her hands on his face because he's definitely panicking and she's the only thing holding him up
"I can let you borrow zome of my colored contactz if you want me to" said Robin
Karkat makes a sound that's between scared and thankful, Robin takes out a little box and hands it to him
"Thiz onez are normal grey zo you can zay you're hiding it until it finizhez or zomething" said Robin
Really, Karkat had found himself on hell of a moirrail, actually Robin was the best moirrail and no one could tell him otherwise
But would this story be if it centred merely on Karkat. Dave had gone back downstairs and found John, whom he had left in order to pursue the run-away troll, he walked to him with his normally stoic expression
"I found him, Aresta's taking care of him, what did you do to the guy?" asked Dave
"I don't know, are you sure it was me?" asked John
"I tell you, dude was silent as a rock I can't believe you didn't notice" said Dave
"I thought he was being nice? God, Robin's gonna kill me" said John
"Dude, you're so fucked" said Dave
The doors to the balcony opened making way for the red-head and the troll, Karkat was back to frowning and Robin was smiling normally as they approached them, the red-head's smile turned to a sorry grin, Karkat kept walking only glancing their way and waiting for her a good distance away
"I'm zorry John, it zeemz I waz miztanken and ended up making my moirrail panic, which I can't forgive myzelf from doing" said Robin
"So, I'm not at fault?" asked John
"Well, you kind of are, but it'z thiz time it'z moztly on me, zo if you're ztill interezted , I can try to get you zomeone elze" said Robin grinning
Violet eyes then moved to Dave, if anyone ever said that Robin could talk with her eyes, you better bet they're being honest, Dave even felt a bit embarrassed and everything, even though he hid it
"Zee you later Ztrider" said Robin
She then looked at John as if to make it seem like nothing happened
"Egbert" said Robin
With that said she walked away and reached the waiting troll, they then left talking about random things; John stared at them
"What just happened?" asked John
"Dude, you don't want to fry your brain trying to understand an Aresta, they're almost on the same level as we Striders, only second to anyone who's surname is Brhet, 'cause Cassie is cool like that" said Dave
-Back with Karkat and Robin-
"I'll let you know you will have to help me find zomeone that would be okay with dating Egbert, juzt in caze" said Robin
"Fuck, can't you just convince Ampora or something?" asked Karkat
"Yeah, I guezz I can but it feelz like cheating" said Robin
"I doubt anyone else would be interested, and I'm the idiot who thought he was flushed for the dork" said Karkat
"Fair enough, but I'm only azking if Egbert tellz me he wantz to try again, Ampora can be volatile and I know zomeone who could actually tolerate him" said Robin
"I'd be surprised if you pull that last part off" said Karkat
"Hey, I know he'z zomewhat pozezzive and kind of rassizt, but he izn't all that terrible" said Robin
Karkat raises an eyebrow and she frowns
"Don't look at me like that, I'm a nisse cookie" said Robin
"Sometimes I forget just how weird you really are" said Karkat
Robin grinned, one could never make an Aresta mad with such commentary, he knew it and she knew he knew, it was nice knowing that she'd never take his words to heart, he wasn't good at not insulting people
