Karkat
Karkat woke up groggily to his phone vibrating in his hand. The repeating pattern of vibrations told him that someone was calling him and it had to be pretty fucking important or else why would anybody dare calling the 19 year old brunette on the first day of summer break at, God forbid, 1:30 in the afternoon. He slowly put the phone to his ear and spoke calmly, "What the fuck do you want?"
"KK. Fro Yo. Now."
"What are you going on about Sol-" Karkat stopped mid-sentence, hearing the beeping from the empty line. He set the phone down, staring up at the ceiling for a few minutes before finally sitting up and getting out of bed. It couldn't hurt to go out for a bit. Besides, Sollux had gotten him curious by the excited tone in his voice.
The teen looked at his reflection in the small mirror hanging on the door. It wasn't a bad sight: light brown, slightly messy short hair, two brown eyes with a ring of red around the pupil, pale skin with a few freckles here and there. He was wearing light blue, faded jeans and a gray short sleeved t-shirt advertising his favourite band, The Darkness Lifting. They weren't very popular at all, which seemed pretty stupid to him considering how absolutely amazing he thought they were. The shirt he had changed into the night before and decided was clean enough to wear it again. He slid on a red sweatshirt before putting on his gray shoes and stepping out into the cold day. A thick fog settled on the valley, disappearing a few inches off of the ground. It was beautiful, to say the least. What with the bright sun making the mist hanging in the air glisten as he walked through it.
As he walked into the bright walled frozen yogurt shop, Mr. Vantas met eyes with the cutest girl he had ever seen. Her wavy red hair reached down to just below her shoulders and curled up at the tips. There seemed to be way too many freckles on her face than the norm but that just made her cuteness level go up. Her eyes were a bright olive green, almost cat-like. Although the thing about her that really caught his eye were the blue cat ears she was wearing on her head.
"Karkat!" One of his closest friends yelling his name snapped him out of his trance and made him walk over to the blonde hacker and sit down across the booth from him.
"So, Sollux, what caused you to make me get out of bed and walk all the way down here?"
"Oh, God forbid you have to wake up at 1:30 in the afternoon and walk, what, like one block to a frozen yogurt shop!" He said back sarcastically, rolling his eyes behind his 3d glasses. "And anywayth, it hath thomething to do with that band you like tho much." He motioned to Karkat's shirt with the white plastic spoon in his hand.
"Wait, what? What about them?" Karkat perked up a bit at the mention of 'The Darkness Lifting'. Sollux had no interest in them whatsoever which made Karkat wonder why he bring them up in the first place.
"They're having a live performanthe tonight and I bought uth ticketth." Sollux replied, obviously bored out of his mind.
At the same time, in the same swift and quick movements, both the red head girl across the shop and Karkat stood up, hands placed on the table and said, "What?!" as loudly as they could, calling all attention to them. The brunette's face flushed as he looked over at the girl as she ran out the door excitedly with her friend.
