After texting Karkat the plan (and being mocked for my crush that I TOTALLY DON'T have), I went on with my normal (well as close to normal as you get in my case) school day. Meulin freaked out a few times every time I sat beside Cronus.
After the day ended, I walked with Cronus like it was nothing. Which it was nothing. He put on the same song as the first time I was with him. His smile widened as I started singing along. By the time we made it to his house (which was huge and further from the school than mine), we were both singing along to every song on the disk.
He led me inside to and up to his room. It was quite large and had a slightly darker shade of purple than his eyes as the wall color. A soft, dark-grey carpet covered the floor. Cronus sat on his king-sized bed and pat the spot beside him. I hesitated then sat beside him.
"So, chief, vwhat are vwe going to say?" "Well mostly, I believe we should mention a uniform limit our freedoms. We are in high school. getting ready for the real world. Most of our jobs won't have a uniform unless it is only for a short time. After work, we would go back to regular clothes. And I would like to point out most girls would not appreciate how tight the shirts are, even before being tucked in, and-" Cronus cut me off. He held up a paper that had every word I said. He had been taking notes... "You do talk a lot." I blushed but tried to scowl. That was rude. "I didn't mean it that vway, chief." I saw him blushing. Why is he blushing? Did I hurt his feelings? Trigger him? Embarrass? He spoke again after a semi-awkward silence. "I just found your wvoice cute... Meenah said you talked a lot... I didn't beliewve her..."
My cheeks flushed bright red. "C-Cronus... I... I don't know what to say..." For what felt like the first time in my life, I was lost for words. I looked away, flabbergasted.

I felt Cronus move closer. "Kanny?" I looked over to see he was extremely close. Before I could look away, he planted a kiss on my lips. My eyes grew wide and my face darkened. Don't pull away. I closed my eyes and kissed back. He held my hand.
There was a knock on the door but we brushed it off. "Cro? You'vve been quiet for a wwhile... Dad told me to check- WWHAT THE FUCK?!" Cronus broke the kiss, stood up, and stormed over to his brother in one swift move. He was whispering but I heard him. "Do NOT tell Dad you tvwirp!" His brother smirked. "Or wwhat?" "I'll tell Meenah about your 'little' crush on her sister, Eridan." Eridan gaped like a fish. "Y-You wwouldn't dare!" "I vwould." There was a dangerous glint in his eye. I honestly felt nervous for the younger Ampora.
Heavy footsteps were heard on the stairs. Both boys fell silent. "Eridan. Leavve your brother alone. Vwhy are you evven screamin'?" Their father stood in the doorway. Two scars running down his scold even more terrifying. His eyes fell right on me. "Cro. Vwho is this?" Eridan smirked and Cronus went pale. "Just the guy Cro wwas mackin' on." Cronus looked faint. Their father glared.
"Eridan. Your room. Nowv. Cronus. Take him home." Cronus nodded and grabbed my hand, immediately dropping it as we passed his father. I heard him mumble something about my father. "Simon's boy. Of all the evver fuckin' people."
As soon as we were out the door, Cronus grabbed my hand inhumanly tight. "I'm sorry, chief... I didn't knowv my dad vwas home..." I just nodded. We got in the car in complete silence. "Chief... Talk to me..." I just shook my head. "Please..."
I bit my lip. Tears pricked my eyes. "Y-You kissed me... A-And I kissed b-back... I-I've heard of what you do to girls... A-And one other g-guy... Y-You're just going to use me..." We showed up at my house and I wiped my eyes before getting out and running to the door.
I fumbled with my keys and dropped them before feeling a presence behind me. "Kanny... You're different... I... I actually lowve you..." I looked up at him. I think it's time to stop being a celibate. I tried to kiss his cheek, missing by a few inches. He leaned down and kissed me with so much passion I thought my heart would explode.
The door had opened at some point during that time. We were snapped back to reality by two squealing Leijons. Cronus broke and whispered, "I'll see you tomorrow, Kanny." He walked to his car, driving off and leaving me flushed on my doorstep.
That was when Karkat pulled me inside by my collar.
