What is there to say about Antonio? He's obnoxiously cheerful, annoying, stupid, and spacey. Basically he wasn't all there and at times that infuriated Karkat to no end. Especially since he and his other two obnoxious friends (Gilbert and Francis) seemed to love hanging out with Gamzee. There was pretty much no escape from the 'Bad Touch Trio' as they called themselves. Karkat preferred to call them the 'Stupid Fuckass Trio'.
Despite the constant insults thrown at him from Karkat, Antonio never really seem fazed and for a long time this puzzled Karkat.
That is, until he met Antonio's good friend Lovino Vargas.
The insults that Lovino hurled at the Spaniard could give Karkat a run for his money, so it was no wonder that Antonio didn't seem affected no matter how harsh Karkat was. Though somehow, this made him feel a little disheartened but he couldn't place why.
Maybe it was jealousy. He didn't want to admit to that though, especially not after he and Lovino had formed an insult-ridden friendship of sorts. Besides, Karkat had too much pride.
Soon enough Karkat found himself spending more and more time with Antonio without even realizing it at first. It was nice. Even though Karkat didn't seem to be enjoying his time with the other, they had been some of his happiest memories.
Then one afternoon, hanging out after school, Karkat got so swept up in the moment and kissed Antonio.
Then realization set in.
"Uh...! Shit that was really stupid! I'm so fucking stupid. Damn it. I'll leave now before I make an even bigger ass of myself."
And just like that Karkat took off, leaving a dumbfounded Antonio behind. It wasn't until the next morning at school that they saw each other. Karkat did his best to avoid contact with him, but Antonio cut him off in the hallway, smiling. "Kar, you never gave me a chance to react yesterday." He chuckled, sounding as sweet and carefree as ever.
"Look I know you don't want a fuckup of a friend anymore, so I'll just-" Karkat was cut off when Antonio leaned down and pecked him on the lips.
"You talk too much, amigo."
Karkat was the brightest shade of red you'd ever seen.
A/N: Took me a while to find the muse for this one but I really like the pairing. Unfortunately I think this one kind of bombed. 8I I'm not pleased with this drabble woops. Hopefully my friend SJ, who requested it, will like it anyway. Enjoy and expect more to come.
