As you watch your code fix itself your mind drifts off and back to earlier when you met mr grumpy the dwarf himself. You think you know who he is. If it is who you think- know it is then everything is about to get allot more interesting. The person you know it is, is your old friend karkat v. Karkat vantas was a loud mouth that could spill any combination of swear words and regular house hold objects and make them into the worse insult that would make you cringe and wish you hadnt been born. He was your close friend beside aradia and feferi. You dated feferi once but that didnt work out too long because someone spread a rumor that you were sneaking around with aradia which you wernt. AA was nothing more then a really close friend that was the only one who could drag you from your week long gaming sessions. So after a horrible break up with feferi and her swearing you out for "cheating on her" you were heart broken. Youve never seen a girl that pissed before and you dont think you ever do again because youd probably be the reason shes mad. You still beat yourself up over that day. Even if you managed to stay friends with her she still gives a look when you invite aradia along . Back to karkat. Karkat was on soccer but he couldnt lead his team to a goal if he tried. More of kicked the ball and bounced it off all his team members heads then bounced it into his own goal. Despite him being a total ass hole he was still tender hearted if you knew him enough. Or if he let you close enough. Youre just good at observating people. You miss that fire cracker called a friend, you honesty do from the bottom of your black shriveled up heart. Its your fault you stopped talking but education came before friends, or so you were taught. Everything was about school and graduation so you can get a amazing job and do something in life. But no, instead you work at a shitty coffee place and a tech store. Karkat hasnt really changed much since school except he grew a few inches. You on the other hand grew 3 feet and lost all your weight thanks to some bullying and other stuff youd rather not think of. Now youre happy and cozy in your apartment with cheap rent and no car to pay for. Not that you would really need one when living in the city. You wonder if karkat will recognize you and if he doesnt should you tell him or drop him hints ? Maybe even just let him figure it out on his own. Yeah, youll let him figure it out on his own to just be a ass. You sigh as you leave your thinking state and begin to get a headache, you have 30 minutes till work and no fucks to give. You end up disabling your alarm clock and take a few painkillers before dragging your feet to bed and hope the bear upstairs quiets down enough that you can get some sleep.
