CHAPTER 3: Mansion
"GET OFF ME THO ii CAN KiiLL YOU!" Sollux threw a tantrum underneath Eridan. "Only if you wwill be my K-i-m-e-s-i-s~" He sipped his tea while pressing his weight further down on his back. "FUCK NO!" He twisted his feet around to try to kick his tea. "Then no, suck it up you cod sucking-"Sollux managed to kick the tea out of his hands, onto his head. "You thuck it!" Sollux wiggled is way out and ran for the kitchen with Eridan chasing after him.
Nepeta peered out from her room to see a pissed off Eridan cape less, and a honey covered Sollux. Sometime during the scuffle in the kitchen, Eridan dumped honey with some other food products on him. "Guys! You're going to wake up Karkat!" John came in with a mop surveying the mess. "Tell this landwweller, to give me my cape back!" Eridan was rudely cut off with a flying broom to his face. "ii didn't thteal your thtupid cape! So- niice maiid apron John." They all looked at John's get up, with Nepeta squealing with delight. "So cute! Only if Kar- I mean why are you wearing it?"
"Uh well my favorite shirt is missing so went looking for it, only to find this, so I thought it would be good to wear when cleaning." It was a baby blue apron, with his symbol on the front; a white bow was in the back to finish it off. Seems to be one of the many things their fashionable friend has given him. "Wwell I didn't make this mess! He started it!" Edrian pointed a finger at Sollux only to get it bitten. "OWW, you-"
"WOULD YOU DUMBASSES MIND SHUTTING THE FUCK UP?" Karkat stood leaning against the frame of the kitchen looking like he was woken up. Truth is he couldn't sleep after having that dream of his. He was still in his sleep wear but with a blanket on his shoulders. "Hii KK, blame thiith dumb-"Sollux stared at the light blue shirt that was half hidden under the blanket. Karkat noticed this and brought the blanket closer around him.
"Hey Karkat! What are you doing up this early?" John set down the mop and put an arm around his friend. Karkat stared at the apron stuttering his words. "Oh this is what was found instead of my favorite shirt, and so going to use it to clean the house, ahaha..." Karkat nodded and stared at Nepeta. She gave the "Didn't tell anyone Karkitty" Look to reassure him. "Karkat? What's that you're wearing?" Karkat froze and slowly backed into the frame again. "Yeah KK what are you weariing under that?" He glared at Sollux barely noticing John's hands on him. "What the f-"He fell backwards with John on top of him. John set up slowly not noticing he was straddling Karkat's hips. 'No, not here…' the dream slowly crept back into his memory.
"What the fuck Egbert?"
"Karkat? Are you okay, your face is red again."
"You like that don't you."
Karkat stumbled to get up, knocking the boy over, running out of the kitchen. They later heard the bathroom door shut with a slam.
"Fuck, just FUCK." He slammed his hands on the edge of the sink and looked at himself in the mirror. He couldn't stand this for much longer. He noticed his eyes turning red; he cursed under his breath and looked away. His mind already thought of the other as his mate sprit. This was bad; he couldn't let the others know- not yet at least. John always went on about "not being homosexual". He couldn't stand a rejection from someone he... hates to admit, flushed for. He touched his face noting the tears streaming down.
John slowly got up and helped Edrian clean up the mess. Nepeta and Sollux went after Karkat only to hear distress on the other side of the door. Nepeta glanced at Sollux who demanded answers. 'Nya, sorry Karkitty, Sollux is worried about you just as I am.' She led Sollux to an empty room and told him everything.
-Line break—
"WHAT?" Sollux fell back on the chair he was leaning on. "Sollux I told you not to balance on two legs." He brushed himself off and stared at the girl like she was crazy. He suspected Karkat to have feelings towards the human, but not feelings like that. "KK deserveth happiineth even though he can be an as - OW" Nepeta threw a shoe at him. "Aren't you and Eridan supposed to be cleaning the kitchen?" He examined the shoe as if to find it more interesting than the topic about Eridan. "Nya! I need to update the shipping wall!" She crawled under the bed to bring out a book and a box of markers. "Shiippiing agaiin?" Sollux watched her edit her panels. He noticed she shipped him and…"ERIDAN?" She held up the paper and shook her head.
He took the paper and read the words that were under the picture.
"It's a love/hate relationship, hating each other lovingly? Nya, the purrfect couple!" He read the rest to himself and handed the paper back. "Liike that stupiid priick would have feelingth for me; he triied to rape me wiith bucketth!" He started to lean back in the chair again while talking to himself. His phone buzzed almost knocking him out of the chair for the second time. He checked his phone while Nepeta continued to draw countless shipping.
DS: Yo bro, we need you here to set up the mansion, bring the others ok?
SX: Dave not a good- waiit man2iion?
DS: Didn't you know? , well now ya do. Get your asses over here.
SX: Fiine.
DS: Sending the address.
SX: Thank2.
Sollux closed his phone shut after receiving the address. He went to the kitchen to tell the others with Nepeta following behind him.
-Line break—
"WHY THE FUCK ARE WE DOING THE DAMN WORK." Karkat later came out to hear the announcement. They all had to shop for décor while the rest painted and reconstruct parts of the house. Gamzee and Tavros volunteered to help since Karkat made a huge deal of it. He was glad Gamzee was there; his morail could ease his worries. He already knew about his feelings for John, so he always supported him.
They split up after they arrived at the store. Gamzee rode on the back of Tavros's wheelchair down the aisles, while Eridan and Sollux smashed carts into each other when they had to share the same aisle space. Karkat stayed solo and John did the same.
"You dumbasses act like you're a divorced human couple." Karkat was watching them fight over streamers. Eridan wanted purple and black, but Sollux wanted orange and black. Karkat sighed whenever he didn't get an answer or an insult, walking towards Gamzee's and Tavro's part of the store.
-With Gamzee and Tavros—
"Whoa mother fucker…these lights are so bright and shine so…" Gamzee touched the lights and yanked his hand away from being burned. "So not cool now." He turned his head to Tavros giggling. "Uh Gamzee, I think you're not supposed to touch those lights for so long." "Isn't that the truth… hey Tavros look at this!" Gamzee took from ghost sheet and put it on his head. "Spooky moth-"He tripped on the sheet knocking himself onto Tavros. Tavros couldn't move and his chair was too far from his reach. Gamzee peered out of the sheet smiling. "Boo?" Tavros tried not to smile, but it was contagious. When the laughter seized, Gamzee got a little too close to the other's face. Tavros was frozen when Gamzee kissed him. The only thing he could do was kiss back. He had a secret crush on the other troll, but never really gave any real thought about it until recently.
"So kiss me again, to stop this stu-stu-stuttering~"
"Gamzee wh-what are you..."
"It's been s-such a long time since anyone has touched me, touched me~"
He touched his face and leaned in for another kiss.
"So kiss me again to end my s-suffering~"
Karkat went unnoticed as he watched the scene unfold. Nepeta slowly put her hand on Karkat's shoulder. He turned to her smile and they left the two alone.
"MIRAACLESS!" Gamzee was on the floor with his hands in the air and Tavros was embarrassed that people kept looking at them. The group picked out a bunch of lights that Gamzee thought was the shiniest things. The lights were ordinary lights you would hang on the walls or roof, except a few were of ghosts, a pumpkin, cat and a cauldron. Sollux and Eridan finally agreed on streamers being they would buy them all.
-Later that day-
Karkat had "Leader Control" on one side of the box and the other "DO NOT FUCKING DISTURB, THAT MEANS YOU TOO JOHN." On his head... Apparently everyone pissed him off. Eridan got into a fight with Sollux about the décor again. Gamzee got his horns stuck in the wall after ramming it. Karkat suggested a hammer, but that didn't work out well. Dave remarked he would use them as props if they didn't stop their bickering.
After what seemed to be hours, Karkat came out of the box for lunch. Dave had prepared sushi and some chicken nuggets. Dave couldn't cook so he ordered the fish but managed to not to burn the chicken. "Wwhat is sushi?" Eridan poked at it with his chopsticks. "Try it and see." Dave urged him to eat it, hiding his smirk behind his hand. "It's not that bad…wwhat is it made of?" Everyone stopped eating to stare at Eridan. Dave regretted doing it soon after he told him. "UWWAHHHAAAAHH GET IT AWWAY FROM ME!" His chopsticks flew in the air with his arms flailing around. "Itth your people!" Sollux yelled and earned him a plate full of the food in the face. Eridan made sure Dave got his severing too. Terezi and Vriska high-five at Dave's fail of a prank.
Once things settled down they noticed someone was missing. "Karkles, where is John?" Terezi asked licking his face. Karkat pushed her away, he let her do that to him a lot in the past, but it didn't work out for him later on. "Yeah you should go check up on him, w-what if he's lost?" Tavros chimed in. Gamzee wrapped an arm around his back loosely telling him he was alright. "Fuck, fine, going…"
-Line Break—
John was hanging up spider webs in the corners of the ballroom. The room looked quite spooky. He called Rose over to help him, but she had to leave shortly after wards. The room was painted black and grey. It was a fairly nice ball room, the pillars were decorated with orange and black streamers, and the ceiling was decorated with the purple and black ones. Bats were along the ceiling as well, he also made sure some spiders were lingering.
"Fuckass you here? F- GOGDAMNIT JOHN." Karkat swiped the webs away falling to the ground. "Ha-ha Karkat you look like a cotton candy." He helped his friend up and picked the webs off his hair. He accidently touched his horns earning a gasp from the troll. Karkat backed away and growled. "The hell you doing Egderp?" John was confused, but decided to ask anyways. "Your horns are sensitive aren't they?" Karkat scuffed and traced the designs on the floor, they were swirly. "They are when trolls are grubs, helps them navigate through the caverns… the base stays that way though when they get older. The horns harden with age." John was still curious and reached for his horns again. He didn't expect him to purr, at least what he thought it was.
Karkat's mind told him to get away. But his body told him to stay. He gave in to his body losing control of what he was doing. He pinned him down sitting on his waist. "K-Karkat what are you do-MMMF" Karkat lost complete control, he couldn't resist kissing John. He licked his lips and bit on his bottom lip. His hands unconsciously roamed up his shirt. For a moment Karkat felt John kiss back and move along with Karkat's.
His moment was ruined when he pushed Karkat off of him panting. "Karkat, I'm not homosexual!" John's face was red and his body was acting weird, but he forced himself to fall back on what he said. Karkat was hurt, and surprised by himself at the same time. He sat up and ran out of the ballroom leaving John on the floor staring at the spot he was sitting on.

*Preview:
"You're shitting me Strider…" Oh he got his pay back; he laughed it up at Karkat's face. The room had one bed, and to make things worse he had to share with "EGDERP AND ME?" He grabbed Dave's collar and pushed him against the wall. Dave pushed up his shades and his smile didn't alter. "Eeyup."
