Thunder (Karkat x reader)

Chapter 7

big thanks to @LostNeko851 for motivating me to get this chapter written!

(2nd person)

You woke up to a warm glow illuminating the room making the plain white ceiling look a pale yellow. Shifting under the soft blanket, you turned and saw Karkat sleeping. You felt a twinge of Déjà vu when you looked at Karkat's sleeping form, the light made it seem like he was glowing. He looked so peaceful when he slept as apposed to his usual tense seeming self. You found yourself looking at his lips. They were slightly parted and lightly chapped. You felt a strange feeling of longing and quickly turned away. You got off of the bed and padded to the bathroom where you got changed into some day clothes as much as you did want to stay in your pyjamas.

After changing, you made your way downstairs and rummaged through the cupboards for something to eat. You settled on a cereal bar and made yourself comfortable on the sofa. You finally thought about your whole situation, you had nothing apart from your phone as the rest of your things were either burnt to a crisp or in a bag in your car, wherever that may be. Money was another problem, as previously mentioned, you had nothing so that means no money for food, house, clothes. You sighed and rested your head on your hand. You'll have to get a job, that's for sure, but where? It had to be close to wherever you'd be staying but you don't know where that is. Ugh.

After around 10 minutes of going round in circles in your head, another pair of footsteps came down the stairs and joined you on the sofa.

"Your boyfriend is in a bit of a kerfuffle" (f/n) said as she turned the tv on.

"I'll go and help" you stood up and walked to the staircase "wait, boyfriend?"

"yeah, I saw you two cuddling last night, you can't be saying you haven't thought about him being your boyfriend." they flopped their head over the back of the sofa to look at you.

"ugh" you sighed and walked upstairs to find the angry troll.

You struggled to supress a giggle when you got to him, His horns had got caught up in his jumper and in his struggle, he had fallen over and his jumper got snagged on the corner of the bed. He was hanging in shame with his hands above his head muttering various colourful phrases.

"Karkat?"

".mrr..fu... this incompetent buiscitshit.." He muttered within the warm confines of his sweater prison

"Karkaaaaaat"

"..bl...shi...." he continued

You sighed and crouched beside him. You heard him stop muttering a long line of curses. As you looked down at him, you noticed a large area of smooth, grey skin was exposed and you knew immediately what you had to do.

"(y/n)- OH MY SHITSPEWING FUCK GET OFF-" he was cut off by his own laughter as you tickled his sides. "OH MY- GOG- ST- STOP!" he pleaded.

"hmmmmm.... nope!" you continued to torture the angry troll, his laughter and squeals made your heart flutter. Soon you got tired and stopped, Karkat was panting.

"can you actually help me now though?" He said and tried to pull himself free again but failed.

"yeah sure." You got into a sitting position and began to untangle Karkat.

After a while of 'Don't pull my fucking hair' and 'are you sure this is helping?' You pulled the sweater off of Karkat's head. Your eyes met and you felt an electrifying spark run through your entire body. His dark grey eyes gazed into your (e/c) ones. Karkat licked his lips as you found yourself leaning toward him.

(Karkat's P.O.V)

My vision was filled with light as (y/n) took my sweater of over my head. My eyes were graced with an ocean of (e/c) as our eyes locked. My blood pusher beat faster and my fingers and toes tingled. My mouth became dry so I licked my lips and (y/n) began to lean closer until a cough very rudely interrupted us.

(2nd person)

A cough erupted from the doorway and you both shot your gazes toward it. (f/n) was leaning against the doorway looking kinda lost.

"you two may wanna come downstairs, I just got a call and you might want to hear what it said."

After being seated on the sofa by (f/n) you and Karkat were told about the phone call (f/n) had got.

"murder?"
