Chapter @): Prom

==>Be The Douchey One

It's been a few months now since me and Karkle Sparkles got together. And about ten bruises later after giving him that nickname. Damn the little guy can hit hard.

Ok so the big thing that's going on now is this huge dance all seniors like me and Karkat go to.

This dance is next week, the first Friday of May and I wanna ask my rage filled boyfriend to it.

But the thing is, everyone's doing something so elaborate and dramatic for promposals, and I just don't want to. I don't even know if Karkat wants to go to prom, every time the topics brought up he just looks at me and changes the topic.

I can't tell if that's a 'ask me you dipshit' or 'don't you fucking dare'.

Either way he just glares at me and I just kind of awkwardly shift away from the topic.

Well, I'll just ask him. What's the worst that could happen, him saying no? If that happens I'll just invite him to laser tag instead. Then we could just shoot each other with light beams prom night.

Huh...now I don't wanna go to prom. Dammit why are my ideas always that amazing.

"-ello? Earth to Strider. Are you even listening to me?"

"Hmm? Oh...no I kinda spaced for a moment there Karks. Sorry."

"You're not a fucking space cadet you know that? As I was saying, all of our friends are going to prom. Like literally, even John got Rose's mom-sister to go with him."

"What? I thought he was dating spider bitch?"

"He was, but she was being a literal bitch to him. And then she went off with Feferi's older sister. But that didn't work out between those too, so then Vriska started hanging around Terezi after she broke up with Gamzee finally. But yeah, Johns not with her anymore; he's with Rose's mom-sister now, Roxy I think."

I stared at him for a moment. How the hell does he know so much about our friends relationships?

"Dude, do you like stalk our friends love life or something?"

"Well...no I just...keep up with it? I don't know it just ends up in some conversations and I just happen to listen in on it."

"Ah, so I have a gossip addicted boyfriend. Sweet."

"Oh shut the hell up. I'm not addicted to gossip."

"Right. So about that prom topic, before you started blurting out John's and Vriska's love life, where was that going?"

"I was just saying, we're going to be the only two left out of everyone without a ticket to prom."

"We don't have to be."

Karkat turned his head from homework and looked at me with a brow raised.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, do you wanna go to prom? Well...with me that is." His face went red and he dropped the pen he was holding. I guess I shocked him a bit with the question.

"Well...um I...I guess since you asked. I'll um go with you."

"Great, so tomorrow we'll buy our tickets and...do you have a way to get a tux? I have one already, so I don't have to worry."

"Yeah, I'll be fine. I'll just let Kankri know and we'll find something."

"Ok. Well, I gotta go now. I need to be home to make dinner tonight." He nodded and I left him with a chaste kiss.
