The walk back was quiet, but not awkwardly. I would comment on this and that and he would listen, smile, and occasionally comment as well. It was a nice little walk. I asked occasionally if he was alright, carrying most of the grocery bags, but he would just tell me not to worry. We eventually made it back to my house. By the time we did, we were both a bit sweaty from the heat. He began helping me place the groceries in their proper places. About half way through he stopped handing me items. I turned to see what was going on, and I couldn't help but stare momentarily at him.

He was fighting his hoodie off over his head, the shirt underneath sweaty and what I would say was a bit too tight. I felt a light blush cross my face and I spun myself back around to calm myself down. Whoa no. No, no, no, no. I can't react like…this to… him of all people. I took a few breaths and managed to calm down. I turned back to see him still struggling with getting it off. I rolled my eyes at him a bit. I walked over to him, stood on my toes to reach, and pulled it over his head.

"Thanks Kankbro." He said and smiled at me.

I just rolled my eyes again smiling back, but then realized how close I was to him. I was never this aware of being close to him before. I know my expression had to of changed pretty fast due to the confusion I saw on his face. I handed him his hoodie and backed off fast.

"Uh… Kankbro are y-"

"Can you hand me the next thing?" I interrupted, not wanting to be questioned. I didn't even really know what was going on with me.

Moments like that have been happening more often. Every time it happens, I just end up confused by myself. He thankfully didn't press the subject. We finished putting the groceries away after about twenty minutes. We relaxed for a while together, watched a TV show, and chatted a bit. At about four Gamzee said he had to go home and change out of his sweaty clothes. He said he'd be back to pick me up about seven to go to the carnival.

I just rolled my eyes and said whatever. I still wasn't incredibly enthusiastic to go, but I couldn't help the small smile that spread across my lips, taking away the effects of my eye roll. He smiled, gave me a hug, and left. Soon after, Karkat came shuffling in. He had been at his friend Sollux's house. When he came in, I was in the process of getting together a formidable outfit the evening. Not… not that I was trying to look good or impress Gamzee. No, no, I was just… suiting myself properly for the weather. Yeah… I had decided on a long sleeved red T- shirt and black skinny jeans.

Both light weight and comfortable. Covering, but thin so I wouldn't overheat. Dear god, I'm fussing like a teenage girl going on a date… When Karkat came in, I could tell there was something on his mind.

"Oh, hello Karkat, Is everything alright?"

"No it's not all fucking right. I'm bored as fuck and everyone's going to that fucking carnival with someone and I either get to go alone or sit at home." He said with his usual attitude, but a light undertone of something like sadness.

"Why don't you ask someone to go with you…? Oh! What about that crush you mentioned the other day?" I noticed him blush lightly, but he still kept his attitude filled expression.

"I… I did… They're going with someone else… but it's not like I even give a fuck. Whatever. Fuck it." He then stomps off and promptly slams his bedroom door shut.

I continued getting ready, letting him cool down.

((I got two reviews asking for more so here you go ^w^ I hope I did well with Karkat's personality ;^^ Anyway, I hope you enjoy x3))
