The bell rang before i could really finish this chapter, sorry ! haha, I'll work on the rest of it next hour!(:
The rest of the day went pretty well for all of them; Dave and John were on a fierce lookout for anyone else that would give Karkat trouble. The teachers were pitiful on him and did not assign any homework he rest of the day, an occurrence that, not only the three boys but, the whole school body was thankful for. Karkat was absolutely exhausted by the end of it, dragging his feet as he made his way to John's car.
"That was the most crotch blistering thing I have ever had to endure." He groaned, sinking into the plush seats.
The car seemed like the throne of a king to his worn and beaten body. Relaxing into the cushions he rested his head on the cool window pane. He felt hot and uncomfortable; the window was like a blow of bliss across his forehead. John was going on about something, he wasn't really listening, probably something about Nic Cage like on the way here. He noticed his head beginning to droop and gladly gave way to the drowsiness he felt, falling into a much needed sleep.
"Karkat, I was really worried about you today! From now on don't feel like you have to behave or anything okay?" John thought about that a moment and rephrased, "Well actually, behave, unless someone like Erik tries to hurt you again, okay?"
Waiting for a response but getting none, John turned to see Karkat fast asleep. He looked so peaceful; a smile played across the young trolls face as he dreamed causing John to take a slight flush.
He looks precious.. Gah! What am I even saying, I am not a homosexual and that is a pretty homosexual thing to think. He would be weirded out if he ever knew I thought that!
The slight hint of pink that had once painted John's cheeks now turned into a full-fledged blush, his entire face was bright red. He knew there was nothing wrong with being homosexual, especially in the troll society, but he'd always been with girls. That meant he couldn't have feelings like this for guys right? Right? He knew Dave had been with both genders and that it was pretty normal for him, so maybe it was okay for him to feel this way? He was so very confused about his emotions, and too embarrassed to ask anyone about it. The whole ride home he reflected on this, being tortured by the inner conflict. Could he possibly have feelings for Karkat? Or was it just a very close friendship? He didn't know and couldn't tell for sure, he'd never felt this way before and the mass of emotions was foreign to him.
He hadn't realized how long he'd been lost in thought until he pulled into his own driveway. He was totally clueless as to how he managed to drive all the way there, having no memory of it. Getting out of the car he silently prayed he didn't run someone over or drive through any stoplights. John went to Karkat's side of the car and opened the door. He tried fruitlessly to wake the boy up only getting groans of protests and breathy sighs. Scratching the back of his head in hesitation he decided the only way to get him out of the car was to carry him. It wasn't uncommon for Karkat to fall asleep in the car, and John had carried him out of it before, but with all the thoughts he'd had on the way here it now seemed wrong for John to do it.
Nonetheless Karkat had to get out of the car somehow and seeing as how he wasn't rousing from his slumber carrying him was the only option. John exhaled and reached across Karkat to unbuckle the seat belt. He was in such a close vicinity of Karkat he could hear his soft, steady breath. It was so calming, looking up into Karkat's face he could see all the worry wiped from his face, just a look of serene calm.
Wrapping his arms around Karkat and pulling him from the car, he made his way into the apartment.
