THIS IS (probably) THE FINAL CHAPTER! (spoiler alert: it's not)
You talked to the man that invited you in for hours while Kankri was in the kitchen with his wife.
"So, you're Sarah's son?"
"Yeah..."
"I heard what happened to her, I'm sorry for your loss."
"It would've been better if my stepdad wasn't a d-" You saw Kankri's glare from the kitchen, forcing you to go quiet. "Well, if my stepdad wasn't as bad as he was it wouldn't of happened."
"Yeah. Well, Diane and I, we both knew them pretty well. I knew Sarah specifically. But when we heard what happened, we were both shocked. And now, what happened. It's-"
"Batshit insane?" You heard your brother gasp.
"Karkat!"
"What?"
"No, Kankri, it's alright. These are two adults talking."
"He's only seventeen."
"I'm going to be eighteen in June!"
"June?"
"Yeah. My mom said I share my dad's birthday."
"Scott! Lunch is ready!"
"Come on, let's talk more in the kitchen."
You can't believe it. You actually met your dad.
Your REAL dad.
"Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck."
"Kk, calm down."
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CALM DOWN THERE'S FIVE MILLION PEOPLE OUT THERE!"
"Kk. It's graduation. Chill the fuck out."
"I CAN'T CHILL THE FUCK OUT! I'M FUCKING HYPERVENTILATING!"
"Karcrab, you need to breathe. It's not going to be long. Beach-sides, after this we all get to go home and forget all about this."
"Ff, I don't think the puns are helping."
"Sorry. I couldn't think of anything to reely say."
"N-No... it's fine, I just- god I'm fucking scared."
"Kk, just think about it, after this, we'll leave and all these assholes are going to remember this place as nothing but a hellhole that held screaming children for nine months. In a way, it's like we're being born again." You couldn't help but laugh.
"Sollux, that's fucking ridiculous."
"I try to help." Feferi rubbed your back, when a voice was heard.
"Karkat~!" You sighed as Vriska came over. "You nervous about graduation? You're sweating more than Equius, and I'm pretty sure I've convinced Nepeta that his sweating bleached his hair."
"No mew didn't!"
"Oh hush, cat!"
"Vriska," You looked up at her. "Have you ever thought that maybe, just MAYBE, the whole bitch act is getting tiring?" You got up, leaving. You heard Sollux laughing as Vriska stuttered.
"VANTAS! GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT!" You flipped her off, smiling.
"Well, Karkat. You're out of high school officially, your eighteenth birthday is tomorrow, do you want anything special tomorrow?" You looked at your brother, who sat opposite of you on the couch. You nodded.
"I was planning on going over to Dave's tomorrow. Why?"
"Oh, well, I mean, you're officially an adult tomorrow, so I was just wondering." You nodded, smiling down at the ground. Your brother put a hand on your shoulder, your head lifted and looked at him.
"What?"
"You love him, don't you?" You blinked, blushing and nodding. "If you want, I can take you over there tonight." You smiled more, hugging him tightly.
"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!"
Ending this here, will have a final chapter then a finishing note to finish this shit off.
