I squirmed as we rode home in the car, it was the most courageous thing I had done this year. I am usually shy about these kinds of things, but I know we are meant to be! I squealed and did a small happy dance in the back seat of the car.
"So I assume you had a good time?" Equius asked. I nodded excitedly, "You know, I think I might be able to convince him that the soulmate thing is real!" I tell him joyously. He smiled gently and continued driving.
Once we arrived at the house I ran up to my room, ignoring the many questions coming from my parents. I ran straight to my bed and booted up my laptop. I squealed like an anime schoolgirl, trying to contact any one of my friends. It seemed only Vriska, Kanaya, and Eridan are on... Kanaya it is then!
I opened up a chat with her and the conversation went as follows:
" AC: :33 *ac purrs in a delighted tone*
GA: Oh. I Suppose We Are Going To Talk About How The Meeting Of You And Your Soulmate Went.
AC: :33 you know me so well!
GA: If You Believe I Do.
AC: :33 he was a little grumpy and annoyed at things but he was also adorable and handsome and just purrrrfect!
GA: I'm Glad To Hear That. But I Am Afraid I Must Bid Farewell. It Seems I Have Just Received A Wristwatch.
AC: :oo really? that's pawsitively grrrreat! i guess i will see you at school in a few days!
GA: Good Night Nepeta."
I squealed another time only to be interrupted by a buzzing in my pocket. I picked up my phone to see an alert for one message. It was a text from an unknown number. I read over it and smiled, from it's lewd phrasings and words I could tell it was from Karkat! I think I will call him Karkitty, heehee. But I smiled and quickly responded to him. We ended up texting until 12:30, when I fell asleep.
Karkat's P.O.V
Okay so I am sitting in my room after a shift at a shitty Italian restuaraunt and texting a girl I met. Problem? I think not. She was roleplaying or some shit and I went along with it, but I made it sound sarcastic so I didn't seem like a dope who would do anything to be with a girl he just met. She was a naturally fun person to talk to if I do say so myself. Everything was going good until around 12:34 when she stopped replying. I started to fucking hyperventilate until I calmed down and realized she was probably fast asleep. God I need to calm my ass down.
I stretched across my cheap ass Ikea bed and yawned, I was sort of tired. But it was kind of hard to sleep with lights and noise and the internet. Oh god the Internet is my weakness, probably the cause of my fucking insomnia or whatever that is called. I glanced over at the collection of RomComs I had and gave into the urge to watch one. I picked up 27 Dresses and started to watch it, it was great, oh my fucking god it was beautiful. I eventually manage to sleep for an hour after another two RomComs.
Scratch that, I didn't sleep. I just stared at my ceiling, waiting for something to happen. Fuuuuck. What am I supposed to do with all this god damn time on my hands? Maybe lament on my past? Fuck that. That could wait for another day. I guess I can just lay here, shift around a little. Okay. Whatever, I didn't need any sleep anyways considering I have to help paint the living room tomorrow AND I have to go to school on Monday.
New schools were always stressing, didn't help me because my dad kept moving us around. He had some dumb job as a safety engineer at construction sites and he always got transferred. As if school work wasn't enough, I also have the stress of switching environments every year. At least he finally decides to fucking settle down in one place, he has a permanent job and mom now refurbishes furniture. So I can be stuck in the same place with the same stupid people.
Maybe Nepeta will be at the same school, stop thinking like that numb nuts, she obviously will be considering there is a giant fucking high school that could fit 10,000 kids in it and she said she went to the same one. Ughhh, why is she still on my mind, I only had a small conversation with her and then I texted her. Big deal. Okay, okay, she was somewhat endearing, but that's not the point. I only just met her, and love at first sight is only in shitty movies so fuck that. Fuck my head narration, screw this. I'm going to just stare at my wall and not think.
Nepeta's P.O.V
I woke up to the fragrance of the morning, I smiled brightly and closed my eyes, letting the rays of sun beaming from my window caress my skin. It was warm, especially with my toasty comforter. But it was probably freezing outside, poor shrubs in the front lawn.
Oh! I have flowers outside my window! Maybe I should get a tarp to cover them from the upcoming freeze! I throw my covers off of me, ignoring the goosebumps from the sudden change in temperature and dash to the garage. I was still in my pajamas, an olive green tank-top and hello kitty boy-shorts. I grab the tarp from the garage and hurry over to the front four, slip my kay paw slippers on, and dash to the flowers. I delicately cover them to avoid freeze and smile.
Karkat's P.O.V
Ugh, I have been laying here for at least six god damn hours, is it daytime yet? I looked at my pointless alarm clock to see 10:06. I guess that means I can get up. I sat up and despite of not sleeping I still had to deal with my massive bed head. Across my room, a mirror that was covered with a shirt I threw off of me onto it stood tall as a looked at my boring complexion. I could nearly see a little bit of red showing around my roots, I guess it's time to dye my hair again. I hazily looked at the surroundings of my room as my eyes gazed over to the window. Looked like a girl putting a big plastic blue thing over plants? Her hair was similar to the girl from last night. Almost exact, actually very exact.
I rubbed my eyes and got a good look, as she turned to her side my mouth gaped in shock as I realized it was her. HOLY SHIT AUGHHH. I jumped out of bed and tripped over the boxes of stuff we had yet to put away.
"FUCK!" I shouted. I held my foot in pain as my big toe throbbed. This always happened, every god damn time we moved.
"Calm down Karkat." a feminine voice said. It was Rose, my sister.
"Go away asshat."
"Are you mad you purposely broke your wristwatch? Still dying to know who it was?" she said with a smirk. I groaned, "LISTEN. This is none of your business so leave me al- Is that a wristwatch on your wrist?" I began but ended up diverting to a completely different topic. She smiled and nodded, only to be interrupted by Dave.
"Got mine too, it's gonna be hella romantic up in here." he said. I sighed and jumped back into bed.
"Go away." I told them.
"That girl outside the window has a nice butt." Dave said.
"YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT NEPETA THAT WAY."
"I think her butt looks rather fine too." Rose replied.
"YOU ARE BOTH AWFUL." I told them. I grabbed random objects and started hurling them at the two until they finally left me alone.
"By the way, Mom and Dad painted the living room when they came home drunk at three." Dave shouts. So that was all that racket last night, I thought we were getting robbed or they were fucking.
I'm just gonna sulk in my room all day. Maybe Nepeta might see me and say hi. FUCK, WHY AM I STILL THINKING OF HER?
Nepeta's P.O.V
I scurried inside, refusing to be in the cold for any longer. I took my slippers off and skidded towards the couch, diving into its warmth. I grabbed a thin blanket off the ottoman and snuggled it, trying to take any heat it would provide. I smiled and looked at my surroundings.
We had a middle-class home. It was nicely furnished and it looked somewhat lived in. It was nice and cozy, so there isn't anything to complain about. It was full of useless cat knick-knacks that my mom had picked up around garage sales. It was quite silly but the little things were always so cute. I glanced around the house and noticed it was to quite. That's when I spotted it, a note written in a pretty stationary.
It was my dad's scribbled cursive that was sprawled across the note. The note said something about how they went shopping and there was a batch of cookies that I would need to deliver to the new neighbors. That's right! The new neighbors moved in late Friday night! I should go deliver the cookies right now! I jumped up and ran to the fridge, but then stopped mid-stride. I should probably get dressed first.
I dashed to my room and ransacked my drawers to find a long sleeved, olive green shirt and some jeans. I slipped my shirt on and as I was jumping into the legs of my pants (which is more difficult than it looks!) I grabbed my brush and ran it through my hair. I buttoned the top of my jeans and sprinted out of my rooms, down the stairs and to the fridge.
Many containers were inside the fridge but one contained the neighbors welcoming treat. I swiped a container out of the fridge and it appeared to be the neighbors. I slammed the fridge door and catapulted to the door, where I slipped my blue tennis shoes on. I hope the neighbors will enjoy the cookies! They are chocolate chip!
Karkat's P.O.V
So I basically dragged myself out of bed and now I was downstairs, scouring my fridge for food. Damn parents haven't stocked it yet. And I can't tell them to get their asses off the couch and buy some fucking food because they are freaking hungover upstairs. Ugh, what now? Strider is watching a fucking stupid movie, Con-Air or some shit, so I can't watch anything. What a wonderful Sunday morning.
The door bell echoed through out the house and I groaned as I walked to it.
"Hello? What do you w-" I began, until I realized it was Nepeta. Fuck.
Nepeta's P.O.V
I strolled over to the neighbor's house and walked up their driveway. I held the cookies with both of my hands, as to not risk dropping them. I approached their door and rang the doorbell. I loved the chiming noise the doorbell made! I hummed to the sound until someone opened the door.
"Hello? What do you w-" they began. I gasped, it was Karkat! The butterflies in my stomach started fluttering.
"Oh! I didn't know you live here! I am the house right there!" I said, pointing to the house right next to the one I am currently outside of.
"I brought cookies, as a welcoming gift to our new neighbors! And you are it!" I say, slightly nervous. He chuckled,
"Great Timing. My hungover as fuck parents have yet to stock the fridge with things that would satisfy my raging hunger." He said dramatically. I giggled and tried to hand over the cookies until he was shoved and a blonde boy with shades took his spot by the door.
"Crabby, you aren't good at talking to people. Let me handle this." he said.
"SHUT THE HELL UP DAVE." He said with a venomous tone, "This is my friend, Nepeta."
When he said friend I felt like I had been stabbed.
"Oh hey, you are the girl who had the nice butt tending to the flowers." he told me. I blushed.
"DAVE FUCKING STR-"
"The flower butt girl is here?" a teen girl with blonde hair piped up out of no where.
"I am so fucking sorry, Nepeta." Karkat said, clearly embarrassed.
I laughed, "It's fine Karkitty! So I know your Dave, but who are y-"
"I am Rose." she said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you! So anyways, I brought cookies as a welcome here gift!" I repeat.
"Oh cool. Wanna stay here and eat them with us?" Dave asked. Karkat glared.
"Dave, I don't think she wants to eat with lunatics like us." Karkat snapped at Dave.
"I would love to! Unfortunately I have some plans already. I am visiting my friend John!" I told them. Dave shrugged, "Oh well. I guess we will see you tomorrow, do you go to Andrew H. High?" He asked. Karkat nodded, "Yes she does, now let's let her leave before she is sucked into the black hole known as our house."
I bid farewell to the kooky family and went back into my house. I looked around for my phone and noticed one new message! It was from John! He asked when we would hang out, so I texted him that we could go to the book store in 20 minutes. I can't wait to tell him about Karkat!
Karkat's P.O.V
That was the worst ten minutes of my entire life. Dave and Rose are just completely intolerable around guests. Their behavior was deplorable and I am about to drop some knowledge of etiquette on their sorry asses.
"What the actual FUCK, Dave and Rose?!" I yell when she is back in her house. Dave smirked deviously, like the bastard he is, and Rose continued reading her book. I groaned, "Strider stop grinning at me you douche."
"Chill out, Karkat. No need to get your panties in a twist." Dave replied.
"First thing, I wear boxers you little shit. Second thing, if I did wear panties at least I wouldn't name them weird gothic names like Rose does. What panties are you wearing today Rose? Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way?" Karkat shouts.
"No, today I'm wearing Belgorath." She replies calmly.
"AUGH. I am so done with your guys' bullshit." I say. I block them off and walk upstairs to my room.
