Pleeeaase review, it makes me happy!
"Karbro! Solbro!" Gamzee said. "You motherfuckers came!"
"Hi Gamzee." Karkat said. "Hi Tavros."
"Uh, hi. Um, who's he?" Tavros asked, pointing at Sollux.
"I'm Thollux." Sollux held out his hand. Tavros shook it and smiled shyly.
"He's new in town." Gamzee said. "Karbro, did you bring our homework?"
"Yeah, here." Karkat handed them the English work along with two copies of the permission slips.
"Oh, sweet! Field trip!" Gamzee cheered.
"Oh…" Tavros mumbled. Gamzee patted his head.
"Hey, you can still come Tavbro."
"But I can't ski with my legs…"
"Who cares? Come on, you'll be lonely without us." Gamzee grinned, putting his arm around Tavros's shoulders. Tavros blushed and mumbled something.
"Hey, why don't we work on the homework?" Sollux suggested. So Karkat and he sat down and they worked on the homework. It wasn't too difficult and they finished quickly enough. Then Karkat's phone rang.
"Karkat, where are you?" Kanaya asked.
"Oh, I'm visiting Tavros." Karkat said.
"Oh, okay. I was just wondering. Get home in time for dinner. We're having crab cakes; you're favourite."
"Oh, great. Okay, bye."
The next hour was spent talking, Sollux telling stories and Gamzee telling a few jokes. Eventually Karkat had to leave to be home in time for supper. Sollux decided to come with him. So they walked home together.
"So, what was your old town like?" Karkat asked.
"Thmall." Sollux said. "There wath a big park with a river where you could feed duckth and there wath even a beaver."
"Huh. This place must be a big change."
"Well, I lived here for a bit when I wath a kid, tho I remember a few thingth. But it ith pretty different."
Then they got to Karkat's house. Karkat waved bye to Sollux, then walked inside. Kankri was already home from work and supper was just being put on the table.
"Oh, good. I thought you weren't going to arrive." Porrim said. Karkat just grunted as he took his shoes off and dropped his bag in his room. He sat down at the table as Porrim served the crab cakes. Karkat grinned as he ate them. Her crab cakes were always good.
"Did you have a good day at school?" Porrim asked. Karkat nodded.
"Oh, right. Hang on." Karkat got up and ran to his room. He grabbed the permission slip and came back and handed it to Porrim.
"Oh, skiing!" she exclaimed. "That sounds like fun!"
"Oh, that sounds perfect." Kankri said. "This will be a good opportunity for you to socialize a bit more Karkat. I'm sure you're friends are going, but even so you can make new friends during the trip. Or get a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend, which reminds me, I still don't know which you prefer-"
"This conversation is giving me a fucking headache!" Karkat snapped, covering his ears. Kankri looked offended and said something, but Karkat was still covering his ears. Eventually Kankri stopped talking and Karkat finished eating. Then he went to his room and sat down on his bed. After staring at the ceiling for awhile he decided to go on the internet. There wasn't much to do so he just downloaded some more songs on his phone. A few minutes later all the lights went out.
"What the hell?!" Karkat snapped. He got out of his room and looked around. There was light from the windows so it wasn't that dark. Porrim, Kankri and Kanaya were sitting in the living room.
"How'd we lose power?" Kanaya asked. Then Karkat's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey, KK. Did anything happen with the lightth in you're houthe?" Sollux asked.
"Yeah, they fucking shut off, why? Did yours too?"
"Really? Shit, that'th not what I'm trying to do. Hang on."
"Wait, what?! Sollux, what the hell are you doing?!" Karkat walked outside and around the house to the generator-thing, whatever it was called. Sollux was bent over it, fiddling with some wires. "Sollux! What the fuck?!"
"Hang on KK. You can do thith really cool thing with the lightth. Go back inthide tho you can thee."
"What the hell are you even doing here?!"
"I wath bored. Theriouthly, go inthide."
"-Fine." Karkat walked back inside, though neither of them had hung up yet.
"Any idea what's going on?" Kanaya asked.
"Yeah, I think we're supposed to be getting a light show, but it's malfunctioning." All three of them looked confused, but before they could ask the lights suddenly changed colour. They started out red, then orange, then yellow and kept flashing through the colours of the rainbow.
"Did it work?" Sollux asked.
"Yeah, how the heck did you do that?"
"Wireth, free time and I did thith onthe at my houthe."
"That wasn't much of an explanation."
"Karkat, what's going on?" Porrim asked.
"Sollux made a light show." Karkat replied. Kanaya laughed but Kankri looked annoyed.
"This is very triggering. One should at least ask permission before doing something like this. And even if he did ask I wouldn't have allowed it, because it is so triggering. And another triggering fact is that this shouldn't even be possible! The lights shouldn't be able to change colour!"
"Well, they can." Sollux said loudly through Karkat's phone so Kankri would hear him. "I'll thtop now if you like."
"Yes, please do. And while you're at it-" Then the lights returned to normal and Karkat walked back outside.
"So that's what you do when you're bored?" Karkat asked. Sollux grinned.
"Yep, pretty much. What do you do?"
"Uh, I watch TV."
"That'th pretty thuckish KK."
"Shut up, there's nothing else to do in this city!"
"I thort of jutht proved you wrong."
"First of all, I don't know anything about the wires in that and I'd probably make it explode."
"I actually know how to do that."
"Don't you fucking dare!"
"But theriouthly, what elthe ith there to do?"
"You're bored again? Already?!" Sollux nodded. "Okay, fine! See if you can make some paint-bombs and we'll set them off."
"Theriouthly? Thure."
They ran to Sollux's house and went to the garage. Sollux grabbed some supplies and got to work, while Karkat kept a lookout for Sollux's dad. It took about twenty minutes for Sollux to make all seven paint-bombs.
"Great, where should we set them off?" Karkat asked.
"Well, they're harmleth, tho let'th go downtown." Sollux put all the paint-bombs in a bag and they walked downtown, making sure they looked casual and innocent. Sollux snuck the paint-bombs into crevices and at benches. Then they walked off and waited for the timer to tick down.
"Now!" Sollux said. On cue there was yelling and paint being splattered everywhere. Karkat and Sollux laughed as they listened to people shouting and yelling. They walked over to the area and found almost everyone covered in yellow paint. They laughed at the sight of it. It was so ridiculous!
Eventually they went home when the chaos had died down. They went to Karkat's house, still chuckling.
"Tho, that'th what you do when you're bored?" Sollux asked. Karkat grinned.
"I hadn't done that yet. I was waiting for an excuse."
"Being bored ith plenty an excuthe."
"You're back." Kanaya said, coming around the corner. "Hi Sollux. If you're both going inside, sneak through a window. Dad's going to give you both a lecture."
"Okay. Thanks for the warning." Karkat said. He led Sollux around a corner and to his bedroom window. He never locked it so he just opened it and climbed in. Sollux climbed in after him and he shut the window. Sollux sat down in front of Karkat's computer.
"KK, you're computer'th tho old." he said.
"It's not that old, and who cares anyway?!"
"Do any coding?"
"Uh, a bit. But I'm kinda terrible at it."
"Okay, I'll help. I altho like coding when I'm bored." Sollux brought up the code Karkat was working on. "Okay, you methed up on thith bit here, and you mithed a number here…" Sollux typed a bit while Karkat rolled his eyes. So he was just starting coding and was kinda terrible. So what?!
After awhile they got the code finished. Then they just sat around and told random stories. Though it was mostly Sollux who did. Karkat hadn't been very sociable in awhile, so he didn't have really any stories. Then his phone suddenly rang. But before he could pick it up it stopped and the bedroom door opened. Kankri was looking extremely offended.
"Alright, both of you. I'm going to have a talk with you." Karkat groaned and lay on his bed.
"Not now, we want our ears to stay working." he said.
"Karkat, my lectures are not that long, and-"
"You just called them lectures!"
"I did not, I said conversations. Anyway, about you're behaviour today…"
