Day Seven: Cosplaying

Your brother had convinced you to come to this damn thing. He said you'd look great! You're the only one that could pull this off! And even though you do look great, you really don't feel like being in this nerd fest. But he wanted more than one member in his house, so you begrudgingly agreed.

So now you're sitting in this circle wearing a fucking Slytherin uniform and, of course, staring at your sexy Gryffindor boyfriend, who you assume was dragged here by someone else. He wave at him and he just rolls his eyes and goes back to talking to someone else in his house circle. You huff and just listen to what the nerds here are saying. Most of them are convinced that they're really wizards and you're not even sure how your brother got involved with this. He told you that they meet every week in uniform and that during the summer they hold courses like potions.

You stand up and tell everyone that you're going to get a cigarette. You can only take so much of this before you have war flashbacks to your own time as a nerd.

As you sit outside and watch the smokey tendrils, you hear rustling behind you. You turn at the sound and grin when you see him. "Hey Kankri. What brings you out here to the smoker's quarantine?"

He sits next to you and leans against your shoulder. "I just wanted to properly say hello. It doesn't look like you're really having fun in there."

You shrug and take a drag, letting it out as you speak. "I've just grown out of my wizard phase, you know that."

"That's quite sad. The uniform is quite flattering on you."

You turn your head to look at him, mouth agape. "Did you just give me the Kankri Vantas equivalent of 'damn son you look fine' or am I on crack?"

He rolls his eyes. "That would be my way of saying that you look nice, Cronus."

This earns him a lopsided grin from you. "Oh you think I look nice? Then I guess I don't make a very good Slytherin. I'm not supposed to look nice."

"That seems like a common misconception to me. Just because you're in a house that has a reputation towards dark magic it doesn't mean that you're not nice. Slytherins are simply misunderstood."

"No need to tell me that, babe." You wrap your arm around his shoulders and he leans into you more.

"I think you'd make a good Ravenclaw as well."

You laugh as you flick the ash from your cigarette. "Fuck no. I mean yeah I guess I'm pretty smart, but you babe. You're more of a 'Claw than me." You run your fingers through his hair. "But you're so fucking loyal to your friends and you're always looking out for people."

He smiles. "More people should really look out for each other. It's a shame that they don't." He fidgets, rubbing a thumb against the fingers of the opposite hand.

"Someday I bet they will babe." You lean over and put out your cigarette in the ash tray next to you before you lean your head against his.

"Perhaps."

The two of you sit in silence for a few minutes until you decide to throw caution to the wind and press a light kiss to his lips. He leans into it and you're shocked when you hear the sound of someone laughing behind you.

You both snap your heads back and see his brother standing there, arms folded over his chest. "Hey you gangrenous shit waffles, ten points from each of your houses for snogging in the open."

Kankri frowns deeply at him. "Karkat you and I are in the same house."

"Doesn't matter. Get your asses back inside, Eridan's about to have a fucking conniption fit because he lost two of his "prefects." I think you two were supposed to be like his secret Draco and Harry plants so I'd get back in there." He turns around and goes back inside.

Kankri looks back up at you. "Should we go back inside?"

You shrug. "I guess it wouldn't hurt. Besides, I don't want my baby bro throwing a temper tantrum without me there to watch it." You stand up, pulling him with you and going back inside. You lean down before you get back to the room and press another soft kiss to his lips. "See you after this?"

He nods. "Yes we'll go get something to eat."

"Sounds perfect babe, see you then."

The two of you go back inside and you can't help but to notice the angry glare from your little brother and the glances from a few of the girls in the room.

You look back at Kankri and wink at him as you take your seat.

You guess that you could keep coming back if he's going to be here, but you'd really rather just cut "class" and make out with him somewhere else if he'd let you.

You really hope he'll let you sometime soon.
