  Your name is (f/n l/n) and you have just set off Karkat Vantas. Well he doesn't know it's you, yet.
You've had a bit of a crush on the angry troll for a while now. And by "bit of a crush" you mean "a huge, undeniable crush". So today you decided to do something about it. Subtly anyway, you two were really good friends and you didn't want to mess it up with a confession of "flushed feelings" when he might not reciprocate them. Hell, he didn't even want you in his pale quadrant! You aren't sure what that entails exactly but you are sure it would have gotten you closer to the flushed quadrant, right?
But now Karkat is throwing some kind of fit. You aren't sure why exactly your note is making him angry. Anyone should be flattered to receive an anonymous note revealing flushed feelings. Despite that knowledge, you still feel deflated. It probably means he doesn't have any feelings of that kind for anyone.
As you are loathing in self pity, you see Karkat coming over to you. He's got a scowl on his face and the letter clenched in one hand.
  "CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE THIS?", He yells as he hands you the letter.
  "What is it?" You know full well what it is, you wrote it yourself.
   "SOMEONE HAD THE AUDACITY TO WRITE ME A FAKE "Love Letter" NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THEY TRIED TO FORGE YOUR HANDWRITING ON IT TOO!" Ohhh you get it now, he thinks someone's teasing him. Maybe you should calm him down before starting any actual confessions.
  "Well what if it's not fake? Perhaps someone is truly flushed for you?"
   "(F/n) HAVE YOU EVER FUCKING *MET* ME? IM UNLOVABLE. IM ANGRY, RUDE, I ALWAYS LOOK LIKE A WRECK..."
  "I think you look cute. And your anger is part of your charm.
   "YOU SEE, THAT IS WHY IT MAKES IT WORSE. THEY TRIED TO MAKE ME THINK IT WAS YOU THAT LEFT THIS NOTE!" Damn you thought you'd done a pretty good job of changing your handwriting.
  "What's wrong with that? Worst case scenario would be that it's from me?"
  "NO... NOT AT ALL. WHOEVER LEFT THE NOTE WANTED ME TO MAKE A FOOL OF MYSELF IN FRONT OF YOU. WELL NOT TODAY, FUCKASS. I DIDN'T FALL FOR THEIR PRETENTIOUS RUSE!" Ah the irony in that sentence is enough to make even a Strider bow down in defeat. He's read far too much into this. It's time to come clean. You take a deep breath and summon every ounce of courage before you let it spill out.
  "Karkat? I left you the note." He face falls. One could only describe the next look on his face as anguish. But it reads through his whole body. Anguish. You've seen him get stabbed and he appeared to be in less pain then. What have you done?
"HOW- how could you? I- I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS."
"Karkat, we are!"
"WHY WOULD MY 'FRIEND' TRY TO HURT ME LIKE THAT. I WAS ABOUT READY TO BLAME *DAVE* THAT I HOW LOW THIS IS. PLUS THAT STOIC PRICK IS THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS HOW-"
  "It's not a prank! I wouldn't do that to you or anyone!" He takes a moment to let that sink in, and his whole body changes. A spark sets off in his eyes, and is filled with the most beautiful light.
  "SO YOU REALLY, ARE FLUSHED FOR ME? AND MEANT EVERYTHING YOU SAID IN THE NOTE?" He looks so hopeful, in this moment you feel more confident than ever. So confident that you don't think twice before you quickly lean in and plant your lips against his. Despite his rough appearance his lips are soft and sweet. After a moment of shock, he wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you closer. You pull away after a few more seconds and look into his eyes. "Flushed for you Karkat. Now and forever." He blushes a deep shade of red and whispers in your ear,
"FLUSHED FOR YOU TOO (F/N). NOW AND FOREVER."

A/N I hope you like this Karkat Fluff. Not my best work but I thought it was cute so I wrote it. Please leave comments, requests or suggestions! Thanks for reading!
