~John Egbert

You are now John Egbert. You just got settled back in your hotel room. You turn on the TV and start thinking about Karkat (again). You are really calm and then suddenly your door flies open, and right there in the doorway is Karkat. You jump out of bed and gape at him.

"WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?" Karkat asks.

"W-why...w-what...w-w-what are you doing here?" You manage to get out.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING HERE? I CAME TO GET YOU."

"W-w-w-why w-w-w-would y-y-y-you d-do th-th-that?" You sputter.

"UM, BECAUSE I FUCKING CARE ABOUT YOU."

"B-b-b-b-but y-y-y-you..." You can't manage to finish the sentence.

"YOU MISUNDERSTOOD ME. I WASN'T REJECTING YOU. I WAS JUST IN SHOCK BECAUSE I LIKE YOU AND HAVE FOR A WHILE, AND DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD EVER ASK ME OUT. NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS TO ME, EVER." He explains. You don't know how to respond, so you just stand there gaping at him. You don't even think you could react if you tried. "HEY, EARTH TO EGBERT."

"I-I just don't know how to respond. I just...I mean...I...I...I..." You are frozen with shock. He liked you? All this time? You had just let your insecurities and doubts get the best of you. What do you say? How do you apologize?

Karkat seems to see the thoughts on your face. His face softens and he walks slowly up to you. You let him walk up to you wondering what he's going to do. He gets inches away from you, and then pulls you into a tight hug.

You tense up at first not expecting it and worried you'll react wrong. But he doesn't pull away, just grips you tighter. You relax into the hug, and hug him tightly back. You don't ever want the moment to end.

It doesn't seem like it will anytime soon, but after what feels like forever he sits on the bed. He still doesn't let go of you, and just pulls you down onto his lap on the bed to keep hugging you. You look up at him, with tears in your eyes, to find your face centimeters from his. He gently wipes the tears away, and then leans in and kisses you.

It starts off gently, but it starts to build. Soon you are both kissing with an intensity that would rival that of a rocket. You continue for several more minutes. Neither of you seem to be planning to stop anytime soon. Unfortunately, your phone rings.

You slowly get off of him and look at your phone on the table next to your bed. You just sigh and elect to ignore it. It's just him again. You lean back over Karkat and start to kiss again, but he pushes you back. The phone is still ringing.

"AREN'T YOU GOING TO ANSWER IT?" He asks.

"No, it's just someone I used to know. He bugs me sometimes, but he hasn't in a while. Just ignore it, it'll stop." You answer eager to kiss again.

"JOHN, WHO IS THIS GUY? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BUG YOU? MAYBE YOU SHOULD ANSWER." He says.

"No, it's fine."You say "Trust me it'll be better if we ignore it."

"OK!" He finally says after a minute.

He gives you a weird look that says the topic will come up again. Honestly, you've ignored him this long you don't want to start all over. You are slightly afraid of him too. You and Karkat don't go back to kissing, but you lay down on the bed cuddling and watching crappy TV.

You really hope that he will just go away, but you know he won't. You just hope he doesn't show up. Not now, not when you just got Karkat. Not when your life finally got good. You sit wit Karkat and pray this moment won't end, but you know deep in your heart he's coming. It's not over and he will show up again. You hope you can just keep Karkat out of it at least.
