Since Rose and Kanaya had started dating, practically the whole school found out within a month. However, now it was a few months later, and it was almost time for exams. Rose and Kanaya had both been studying recently and busy with after school things. Neither of them realized it, but they hadn't been interacting with each other as much as they had been prior to the month of first semester exams.

One morning was different. Rose came to school and went into the auditorium, as they usually did. For once she was distracted from her studying, and she felt the need to relax. Well, at least for a day. The question was: Would it happen or not? She hoped it did.

She waited in the auditorium for a good ten minutes before Kanaya came in. Which was... Odd. Kanaya was never late. Kanaya set her bags down and made her way over to Rose, smiling. But Rose could tell something was wrong. Very wrong.

"Good morning, Rose," Kanaya said with a smile. She sat next to Rose on the stage. Her nose was a little bit red and her eye makeup was kind of smeared.

"...Morning, Kanaya," Rose replied. It was a normal thing for them kiss at this point. So, Rose kissed her for a bit longer than usual. She put an arm around Kanaya. "Okay, don't try to hide it... What's wrong?" Kanaya looked at her, perplexed. "I can tell when you're upset. You don't give off your normal glow. And plus, your eye makeup is never smeared."

Kanaya sighed. "Okay, sorry.. Well, I'm just suddenly worried. What if my mom finds out about us? She'd definitely kick me out like she did to Porrim last month."

"Kanaya, you know you'll always have a place to stay at my house, even if she does."

"I know, but, shes my mom. Despite her flaws, I still do love her. It's hard to think about her disowning me because of who I love..."

"Yeah, it is. It's hard to believe that anybody could think that, but I suppose it's because we're on the other side of the spectrum." Rose turned Kanaya's head towards her own and smiled, stealing a kiss. "Even if she does, you have people who love you for you. Especially me."

Kanayas face turned a few different shades of red, and she smiled in a goofy but happy way. Rose hugged her and then proceeded to lean against her, holding her hand.

"Oh, look at those nerds," Karkat said with a laugh as he walked up to them. "Morning Kanaya, morning Rose."

"Good morning Karkat," Kanaya said with a smile. "May I ask how Porrim is doing?"

"She's doing perfectly fine. She told me to tell you that she said hi, so... Porrim said hi."

"Thanks, Kar. And make sure you tell your dad that I'm very grateful that you guys are letting her stay there."

"I'll let him know."

"Oh, hey, Karkat. Guess what?" Rose said, to change the subject. "Dave got braces, so be prepared to mock him. But you didn't hear it from me."

"Oh my god, are you serious? HA! That's great. I'm not letting him live this one down." Karkat laughed. Kanaya giggled, rolling her eyes a bit.

The bell rang to go to class, and the three walked there together.

It was 11:00 at night, and Rose hadn't responded to Kanaya. Naturally, she started to worry, wondering if Rose was okay or not. She tried reading a book to calm herself down. And it worked, but not for long. Her mind always had a tendency to wander when it came to Rose. She couldn't help it. The girl just wouldn't get out of her mind.

Kanaya was just about to reach for her phone, when the ringtone went off. She quickly picked it up after seeing that it was Rose and opened the text she got. All that it said was "Hey, come outside if you can. At the front." Kanaya raised an eyebrow, wondering what Rose had conspired. She stood up and got a jacket, slipping it on, then headed outside. She made sure to be quiet since her mom was asleep.

When she stepped outside, she quietly closed the door and locked it. She was greeted by Rose throwing her arms around her. "Hey. Sorry I never responded, I was scheming to kidnap you."

"Your plan seems to be failing, or else I'd probably be tied up in your car right now." Kanaya laughed.

"Oh, well that took a drastic turn."

"What?- Wait no I didn't mean it like that!"

"Pft, I know!" she kissed Kanayas cheek. "So how about you and I go on an adventure?"

"Every day with you is an adventure, but okay. What do you have in mind?"

"Hm... I dunno. We could go get some food, go to the park, just go on a walk."

"How about we go get some food? The last time I went to the park at this time of night, some dude was stalking Karkat and I. Talk about creepy."

"Ew, that is creepy. Okay, lets go get some late night food." Rose smiled. She walked to her car and unlocked the doors.

The two girls went to a local burger place that was open 24/7. There were only about four other people in the restaurant besides the staff, so they'd have some peace and quiet to themselves.

"So, I think I just want a milkshake and some fries," Kanaya said to the waiter. Rose said she'd have the same, simply to copy her. Once the waiter left to put in the order, Kanaya asked "...You have money for this, right?"

"No, I don't. I thought you did," Rose replied. Kanaya had a panicked look, to which Rose laughed. She put her hand on top of Kanaya's, which was resting on the table. "Of course I do. I wouldn't come unprepared." she smiled. Kanaya sighed and rolled her eyes. Rose just laughed.

The two were goofing off for the whole time they were in the restaurant. When the milkshakes came, Rose took some of the whipped cream and wiped it on Kanaya's nose. Kanaya did the same, but to Rose's forehead. To anyone watching them, they definitely looked like total dorks who were too in love to stay apart from each other. Which was halfway true; They could handle being apart from each other, at least for the night.

The two girls ended up staring at each other and getting lost in each others eyes. Everything about their relationship was pretty cheesy, but in the way that just made you feel happy if you saw it. Not the kind that made you roll your eyes. Rose had a big grin on her face. She took the final sip of her milkshake, and Kanaya ate her last fry.

"Those were some pretty good milkshakes, weren't they?" Rose asked. Kanaya nodded in agreement. "So, do you want to come over to my house for a while?" she asked. "I know you probably don't want to go back to yours, so... We could skip school tomorrow."

"Usually if I do that, I'll actually get sick like a week later..." Kanaya said, obviously taking the thought into consideration. "...But, it'd be worth it." She said with a smile.

"Okay. Lets do it then," Rose smiled. They stood up, Rose leaving a tip for the waiter, and then she went to pay.

When they got to Rose's house, they tried to go inside very quietly. And succeeded. They made their way to Rose's bedroom. Kanaya took off her jacket and hung it over a chair. She put her shoes next to Rose's, and proceeded to lay on the bed next to her. Rose scooted over to her and turned to cuddle her. They both felt each other relax.

"Hey, Kanaya," Rose said, resting her head against the pillow next to Kanaya's head. "This may be straightforward, but... I think I'm in love with you."

Kanaya could feel Rose smiling, which made her smile as well. "I think I'm in love with you too."
