You watched the party unfold as you drank the rest of your flat soda. Your good friend, Terezi, was making her way onto the dance floor. Part of you wanted to move to the center of the room and talk to everyone, but you weren't much of a party person. While all the other girls were in dresses, you had opted for skinny jeans and a nice blouse. You grabbed your hoodie, figuring you could sneak out without anyone notici-

"Pretty lame party, huh?" You heard someone say behind you.

You turned around and looked at the all too familiar guy. His hair was a beautiful mess (was that even possible?) and he was wearing his usual black sweater. You loved that sweater.

"Yeah, I was actually planning on leaving now, so I'll see you arou-" You went to go towards the door but the troll stepped in front of you.

"Come on, _____. Don't leave me here alone with all these dumbasses. You're the only partially sane one here besides me." He muttered.

"Listen Vantas, if you hate this party so much then why don't you leave with me instead of forcing me to stay here and listen to this crappy music."

"Fine," He muttered.

You pushed the Cancer out the door and into the cool fall air. You pulled on your sweatshirt, thankful you had brought it.

I don't know where you're going but do you got room for one more troubled soul?

He nudged you. "Wanna see something cool?"

Why did he seem different? He was... quieter. Maybe less angry.

You raised your eyebrows. "Sure."

_______________________________________________________________________

You followed Karkat down the road and then up a nearby hill. On the top were a few large trees. He lead you under the tallest and then lay underneath it. You followed suit.

It was pretty cool. You could see lights from the town below and fireflies dancing around in front of you.
But best of all was the sky. The moon was so big and bright that you were sure you could reach out and touch it. Clusters of twinkling stars surrounded the milky orb.

"It's beautiful, Karkat." You whispered.

"Yeah."

You glanced over at him. He was scowling a little bit.

"What's wrong?" You asked.

"Nothing," he said, his frown deepening.

"Okay." You said, not wanting to push him. You remembered what had happened last time you pushed him too far. It had been about two months ago.


"So, who do you like?"
"No one."
"Come on, you can tell me. We're best friends, remember?"
"Just let it go, _____."
"Who am I going to tell?"
"Did you ever stop to think that it's really none of your fucking business in the first place?" Karkat had snapped at you.
"Sorry, I was just kiddi-"
"Just get out, I've had to deal with you enough today."
You had rushed out of his hive, rubbing your eyes as you went.


A few minutes passed and it was silent. Karkat was the first to break the silence.

"I'm sorry for being such a douche and avoiding you after, you know, our fight." He blurted out.

"I'm sorry for prying into your love life." You followed up quickly.

"I missed you." He muttered.

"I missed you more."

His hand fumbled around in the grass until it found yours. You wrapped your fingers around his and tried to share your warmth with him.

Let's be alone together

You flipped over so that you were facing him.

"Hey."

"Hmm."

"I need to tell you something. Something that I was gonna tell you on the day when we..."

"Flipped shit?" He finished.

"Yeah."

"Well, spit it out." He said.

"Uh, okay. Well, I was just trying to tease you when I was asking you who you liked. I didn't mean to hurt you. In fact," You took a deep breath. "I had wanted to tell you how much I liked you. How I've liked you for a year. How I've actually kind of loved you for a year. And I just want you to know that I really did miss you. I missed you yelling over stupid stuff and me laughing at you. I missed cleaning up the tissues you cried into after watching your stupid romance movies. I missed watching you cook and fail miserably. I missed hearing your voice and your laugh and just, well, you."

You had been focusing on a piece of grass in front of you while you confessed your feelings, but you took the opportunity to look up the troll, who had stayed quiet while you blabbered on.

His eyes were closed and he was... smiling?

We can stay young forever

"What are you smiling about, douchebag?"

He lazily opened his eyes and pulled you closer to him. "I've wanted you since the moment I met you. I just never got the right chance to tell you. And I thought you were going to set me up with someone, since you were asking who I liked and all. I went a little overboard screaming and insisting you leave though, huh?"

"Yeah, you should work on that." You laughed.

He leaned over and pressed his lips against yours quickly.

"You're such a dork." You buried your face in his sweater to hide your blush.

He was glad you couldn't see him because his blush was even darker than yours.

"I love you." You whispered.

"Flush- I mean, I love you too." He kissed the top of your head and pulled you closer, promising to himself that he'd never let go.

Let's be alone together. We can stay young forever. Scream it from the top of your lungs.
