A/N: I'm very sorry if this looks rushed, I been busy the last few days, updates are hard to get by. Here's the new chapter, don't forget to review so that I know what is wrong with my stories and what can I do to improve them.
As Nepeta reached her destination known as Kanaya's respiteblock or room on the meteor, walking for hours straight was tiring, Kanaya's respiteblock was further away from the others and hard to navigate through but it was worth the walk. She knocked on Kanaya's doorstep, expecting the jade-blood to answer, a few minutes later a voice came behind the door.
"Who's there?" said Kanaya behind the door.
"It's me Nepeta!" Nepeta replied, Kanaya twisted the doorknob to open the door, Nepeta took note that Kanaya looked very exhausted.
"Why hello there Nepeta, what could I do for you."
"Are you busy at the moment?"
"Actually, I was almost finished making a dress for Vriska, but you are welcomed in despite that," Kanaya looked behind before looking at Nepeta and noticing her expression. "Is something the matter?"
"I need to talk to you about some purrsonal feelings of mine." Nepeta frowned as she said feelings.
"This is about you and Karkat isn't it?"
"Yes, about that."
"Don't worry, come in if you wish to discuss with me on that matter."
Nepeta entered Kanaya's respiteblock, to her surprise Kanaya's room was very messy, clothing and knitting materials all over the floor. Kanaya guided Nepeta to a soft cushion seat while Kanaya went over to get something.
"Would you like some tea?" asked Kanaya holding a tray of teacups and a kettle.
"Oh yes purrfect!" Nepeta accepted holding a teacup in her hands and sipping it, she always loved tea, the smell, the flavour and everything, she looked at Kanaya who went to sitting on a cushion of her own while pouring some tea into her own cup.
Once the two got comfortable, Nepeta started talking.
"Before you ask why I didn't just discuss this with my own moirail, you see Equius he's against me being with Karkat."
"I understand that, Equius can be a fool at times, not knowing that the hemospectrum does not matter to us anymore since we are the last living trolls now."
"I just hate it when he becomes that," Nepeta looked down in distraught "if Karkat and I become matesprits he'll stop me at no cost to break us up."
"Why didn't you speak to him about Aradia? That actually can convince him to stop being obedient to the hemospectrum."
"Actually." Nepeta said "I never thought of that before, he is too obvious to have a crush on Aradia, normally when we speak about her he push it away and tends to change the topic."
"I see. Nevertheless you just need to make him know that it is your choice to be with Karkat, all he needs is a little persuasion."
"I guess so, also about Kark-"
Kanaya cut Nepeta off before she could finish Karkat "If you asking about the gossips lately, it was entirely an accident, I was talking to Equius the other day and remarked about your behaviour around Karkat, I am very sorry for this rumor spreading across the meteor."
"Oh." Nepeta answered "it's okay Kanaya, I forgive you but that's not I wanted to say."
"Alright please continue I won't interrupt."
"Kanaya, have you ever had problems confessing your feelings to a person you loved so much but you couldn't spit it out?"
"Actually I had one." Kanaya smiled.
"Really?" Nepeta was quick to answer, her shipping senses are tingling.
"Would you like to keep this secret from anybody?"
"I purromise."
Kanaya looked around before whispering to Nepeta's ear "It's Vriska."
Nepeta muttered an 'oh' "What happened?"
Kanaya could only give a sad smile "Back before the game I always like to see Vriska day after a day, I regretted that however that I only became moirails so that I can only be close with her, althrough it seems that she does not look at me that way anymore, I can only say she rejected me by the looks of it, other than that she already had her eyes on Tavros."
"That's bad! How did you cope up with it?"
"I moved on, knowing that she will only see me as a friend, I would do the same to be what she wants, as friends."
"That is sad, you don't want anything to be with her?"
"It doesn't matter actually, all I want for her is just to be happy."
Nepeta reconsiders in her thoughts, if Karkat doesn't her, she just only could what she only could do best? Make Karkat happy? Making him be with Terezi the only way to make him truly smile?
"Do you think I have a chance with Karkat?" asked Nepeta.
Kanaya smiled "actually yes you still have a chance with Karkat, but you will need to actually speak to him instead of distancing yourself away from him."
"You mean like actually speaking to him?" There was a look of horror on Nepeta's face.
"Yes, if you wish to get close to him you need to actually speak to him, in trollian or in person you need to confess your feelings to him if you want him very much."
"I don't know if I can I mea-"
"Nepeta, look at me" Nepeta looked at Kanaya "Be confident if you want to confront him, there is a chance he will accept you, but I am not sure, knowing him he will be hard to know whether he will like you or not."
"Should I confess to him after this?"
"That is not the best option at the moment, actually why not invite him to your hive to get him know you better?"
"But what if he doesn't want to know me?"
"It's either that or never Nepeta, sometimes you need accept what he does."
"Alright, all I have to do is invite him to roleplay with me?"
"I guess you could? Although you also need to tone down the roleplay when you approach him, you know how he gets annoyed easily with that."
"I kinda noticed that sadly."
The two green bloods looked at each other, Nepeta took a deep breath and sighed.
"Do you think he will like me if I be myself?"
"No," Kanaya frowned "Unless he himself took a liking to you, I wouldn't know. Believe in yourself that is to say on the matter."
Nepeta gave another sigh, silence took over in, until Kanaya asked her if she wants more tea in her cup, she simply nodded and sipped her cup in silence.
"I think I need to finish Vriska's dress right now," said Kanaya "are you okay with this whole conversation? You can talk to me later if you want."
"You know what Kanaya?" smiled Nepeta with hope in her eyes "I am going to talk to Karkat and invite him. I am sure nothing can go wrong right?"
"It depends, you are making your first move towards him, you need to be careful."
Nepeta stood up. "Thank you Kanaya I hope I can do this."
"It's been my pleasure talking with you, I wish you the best of luck."
With that Nepeta walked out of the room and back towards the meteor base.
Talking to Karkat wouldn't be hard.
Wouldn't it?
