After that troublesome night, I woke early and Karkat was actually smirking.
"Hold on, Meulin. Can I speak to Nepeta?" No no no no no no...! He's actually doing it...! I ran to get the phone but he held it away. "Karkat Vantas...! Give me the phone this ins-" I was interrupted by a tired voice. "Yes, Karkitty...?" "Hey Nepeta you have a new ship sailing." I could hear the younger Leijon wake up more and nearly scream. "Really?! Which one?!" I heard thumping from the other side as proof she was jumping up and down. "You know what you said the other day?" "OH MY GOG YOUR BROTHER?!" I heard Meulin's distant yell. "IS IT CRONUS?!"
I wanted to hide. There was nowhere to hide. I ducked into my sweater and walked to the door. "You've never been wrong about a ship, Nepeta." With that, Karkat hung up.
I didn't complain as I walked out the door and said man was waiting for me an hour later. "So, chief, vwhen are vwe going to vwork on that project?" I was distracted, still thinking what Karkat did. He snapped his fingers. "Helllloooo? Earth to Kanny." I snapped back to where I was. "Oh. Today after school is fine." I just wanted to stay away from home for a bit. AND NOT TO SPEND TIME WITH CRONUS IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. I AM A CELIBATE.
