-Be Karkat-
The stenches of hair dye filled the bathroom. He was eager to leave the room but he had to be sure that his ivory roots were fully changed to ebony. Fortunately for him, his brother was willing to pick up some dye for him and deliver it to his residence. Unfortunately for him, this meant his brother had to come over. When he did he decided to spend some time there.
"You know Karkat; you shouldn't be ashamed or disgusted by your genetics. Honestly you should embrace it, see it as a blessing! The fact that you're trying to hide it so much is very offensive to us, us being a collective reference to others with albinism, and-"
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SHUT UP KANKRI!" Karkat shouted at his brother through the bathroom door. "Jeez."
Karkat threw open the door and stomped past him, "Besides Kankri, you went to a private school, you don't know what I had to go through."
"Karkat I assure you, I was subjected to the same kind torment as you." His brother argued.
"Yeah, when you came to get me from my school! It isn't the same!"
"That being said I fully understa-"
"No! No you don't! While you were over at fucking Prospit Academy having fun and being accepted I was being bullied! Like all kinds of bullying too! I had no friends and you were out living the good life! So don't tell me you understand Kankri, cause no one does!" Karkat was on the verge of tears but he kept it back.
His brother stood silent, watching the younger one with red eyes. After about a minute or two of just standing there watching him, Kankri finally spoke up, "Okay Karkat, I'm sorry to have triggered you. I just wish you'd accept yourself one day."
Karkat sighed, "Yeah well I don't see that happening anytime soon okay Kankri?" it was a question that wasn't meant to be answered. He felt kind of bad about going off on his brother like that, and he wished he could feel comfortable in his own pale skin like his brother. To his friends, the only flaw he had was that he talked to much, not his oddly colored hair or his bright red eyes, not even his weakness to sunlight against his skin. Karkat desperately wished he could be accepted like his older brother.
"So," Kankri started, breaking the awkward silence between them, "how is school for you brother?"
"It's fine…"
"Any new friends yet? How about any afterschool activities?"
"I've only got like, three friends, no afterschool activities and my classes are fine." Karkat responded quickly, hoping his brother wouldn't inquire any further.
"Hm, okay brother, I'll leave you be if that's what you want. I'm just letting you know now, I'll be back to check on you a lot more since dad is hardly ever here." Kankri walked over to the door, "I've got to work soon anyways, so I'll see you later."
And with that, his gab-happy brother left him alone in the empty apartment. Eventually Karkat ended up pestering John to find out what he had missed in his classes.

CG: YEAH THAT'S COOL I GUESS.
The two continued to talk until John had to go to bed. He might not admit it to anyone but himself but Karkat really enjoyed talking to John and he was glad they had become such good friends.
