Karkat

"How did you even manage to do that?" Karkat asked after they had gotten kicked out of the yogurt shop for yelling and swearing much too loudly. They had gone to the top of one of the hills bordering the small valley and were sitting on a cold bench, watching the cars in the small town from high above, seeing them as ants.

"Do what? Make you yell tho loud that we got kicked out of my favourite and the only yogurt shop in town?" Sollux replied, obviously a bit annoyed at that fact. Karkat did feel a bit bad, he knew how much Sollux liked that shop's honey yogurt. Still, you can't just drop news on someone like that and expect them to act differently. Especially him.

"Shut up about that. I'm sorry, okay?" Karkat punched his friend's shoulder lightly before shoving both of his hands into his pockets and watched the sunset. "Just tell me. They never have a concert and when they do, it's so secret that like nobody ever knows about it."

"I have my connectionth." Answered Sollux as he yawned and stretched, hanging his arms over the back of the metal bench and leaning back. "I met thomeone online who mentioned it. It'th at the old abandoned church not too far from here. You know the one, right? It'th haunted or thomething."

"Well yeah. Who doesn't know about it?" Karkat rolled his eyes before sighing a bit and tilting his head slightly as a chilly breeze passed. The fog from the morning had cleared up a bit and everything seemed so fresh and clean as the orange and pink lights stretched across the valley. "So did you see that girl at the shop?"

"Which one?" Sollux asked, not really curious at all but at least wanted to know who he was talking about. "The one who liked cherrieth way too much or the cat girl?"

"Cat girl." He muttered, slumping down a bit and straightening his head again. "She was cute, right?"

"I gueth. I wasn't very attracted to her but, you know, I do kind of have a girlfriend."

"She doesn't even know."

"She will thoon!"

"Right."

"Shut up!" Sollux shoved Karkat, causing him to fall off the bench onto the muddy ground.

"Damn it Sollux!" He got up and shoved the blonde off of the bench and laugh as he hit the ground.

"That wathn't very nithe, KK." He would sound angry if it weren't for his obvious smile as Karkat helped him up.

"Come on, asshole. Let's go."

It took them a while to actually get to the church. Around midnight was when it started anyways so it wasn't a big deal. He walked over and got some beer for both of them and Sollux made a toast. "To summer. We're finally out of thchool and maybe we will actually get girlfriendth. And do thingth with thothe girlfriendth that we retheive." Karkat almost spit out his drink when Sollux wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Wow." Karkat shook his head and took another sip of the drink. "I cannot believe we're friends." Sollux frowned at that and slapped Karkat's back before glancing across the room and seeing the two giggling girls. He looked back at Karkat and shrugged a bit as the band came on and started playing a song. "Oh, sweet. I love this one." Karkat said as the loud music began and he happened to glance across the building, noticing the girl again. She looked so happy in the single light that was pointing at the band.

On the fifth song, he found himself outside, getting some fresh air away from the crowds. As the time had passed, more people had shown up to the concert and it had gotten much too warm for the young man to handle. After a few moments of swaying to the music, he heard the door open and close along with the footsteps of someone walking over to him and standing next to him. A soft, feminine voice pierced the silence as it spoke to him and he opened his eyes to see the girl. "It's a beautiful night, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I guess."
