I'm glad you're all enjoying the fanfiction. Here's another chapter. Enjoy. :)
Three months later it was summer vacation. Karkat had adapted into his new group of friends quickly enough. He hadn't seen Terezi during that whole time. He'd heard she dropped out of school. He'd see Latula sometimes and she would tell him how Terezi was doing. Latula understood why Karkat wouldn't visit Terezi and never tried to make him. Karkat was glad of that.
Karkat would spend weekends at the gym with Feferi. They would talk while they jogged on the treadmills. Karkat found he really enjoyed talking to her. It was nice to have someone different to talk to from Terezi for a change of pace.
"We're all going to the beach tomorrow." Feferi said. "Do you wanna come?"
"I'm not that into swimming." Karkat said.
"Then come to get a tan." Feferi insisted. Karkat shrugged. "Come on, it'll be fun."
"Okay, sure." Karkat finally agreed.
So the next day Karkat was waiting for his friends to arrive. He wasn't wearing his swimsuit since he wasn't going to be swimming. But he did make sure to put on sunscreen like Kanaya had nagged him to.
"I wanna come too." Nepeta wined.
"You still have a cold." Karkat said, rubbing her head. "When you're all better, I'll take you to the beach, okay?"
"I'm all better right now! Let's go now!" Karkat chuckled and shook his head.
"Sorry Nep." Nepeta pouted and crossed her arms. Kanaya smiled and patted her shoulder.
"Why don't you play with Nepkat?" she said.
"I'm gonna wave bye to Karkitty when he goes off with his furiends." Nepeta said.
"Karkat, your friends are here now." Gary said, walking in.
"'Kay. Thanks." Karkat said. He walked to the door, Nepeta trailing after him.
His friends were all in Vriska's blue van. Feferi leaned out the window and waved to Karkat, grinning. She was wearing a pink swimsuit. Karkat waved back and walked over.
"Hey, no swimsuit?!" Vriska complained.
"I don't feel like swimming." Karkat said, getting in. Vriska sighed and turned the car around. Karkat waved bye to Nepeta, who waved excitedly back. "Get some sleep!" he called to her.
"I will!" Nepeta called back.
On the way to the beach Vriska got them all singing 100 bottles of beer on the wall. It reminded Karkat of he went to the fair with Nepeta and her friends. When they got to the beach they all ran out onto the sand. Feferi and Tavros had brought enough towels for them to sit on and some sunbrellas. They kept Tavros's wheelchair in the car and Vriska carried him on her back. They put the towels and sunbrellas down and Tavros blew up a beachball Sollux had brought. Karkat sat on a towel and watched his friends run off into the water. He didn't mind being left out, the beach was nice and relaxing. He lay down and closed his eyes.
After awhile someone's shadow fell over him and he opened his eyes.
"Aren't you bored?" Feferi asked. Karkat shook his head.
"It's nice and peaceful." he said. Feferi shrugged and lay down next to him.
"It sure is hot though." Karkat nodded.
"It's summer mixed with global warming, what do you expect?"
"True." They lay in silence after that. Eventually Karkat closed his eyes and felt himself slowly drift to sleep.
When Karkat woke up he could feel someone pressed up against him. He opened his eyes and discovered Feferi had also fallen asleep and they'd sort of half-cuddled in their sleep. Karkat felt his face go hot and was pretty sure he was blushing. Feferi had her arm around his waist and he had a hand holding the back of her head. Crap, that was embarrassing! If one of the others saw…
Then a shadow fell over Karkat. He looked up and saw Sollux smirking at him. He opened his mouth to say something but before he could Sollux put a towel over him and Feferi.
"I'm pretty thure she liketh you anyway." he whispered before walking off. Karkat just blinked. Wait, Feferi liked him? Really? He looked at her face. She was actually really pretty. Karkat blushed once he thought that and covered his face with his hands. Yeah, that was embarrassing. Karkat sighed and closed his eyes. The heat made his so tired. After awhile he fell back asleep.
And here is the FefKat shipping. :3
This is why I had to make Feferi and Eridan break up. Otherwise I guess they'd still be dating. But instead there's this! :)
Hope you all liked it. More good stuff's coming.
