Tangled and Twisted

meanwhile with John and Derrick.

#1

KARKAT: You have been staying on the couch in this place with your sister. Telling her everything that happened. Including how you lost your wings. You can't say you're ashamed of yourself. You mostly feel bad for getting caught. You contact Karkat and the others and you're relieved to find out they're okay. They're relieved to find out the same from you. But after that you just feel like a bum. It's a little late during the night while you're standing in the bathroom and looking at the burnt up remains of your wings. You are unaware of the crack in the door.

: While Derrick was less pushy than he had been in the past he was still overtly nice to John and flirty. Though he couldn't tell how the angel was taking to what he said. Either he was up late for a drink when he noticed the bathroom light was on along with the mess of curly black hair similar to Jade through the crack. Debating on if it would be creepy to stay and watch John through the crack or not, settling on not if he wasn't caught. Look through the cracked door to admire his psyche , burnt wings or not.

JOHN: He was frowning at himself in the mirror. It hurt to fold the remains of his wings now but it hurt even more to see them. He takes a deep breath and folds his wings before grabbing the tanktop on the bathroom counter and pulling it on. He shakes his head at himself once more before he turns and opens the door, jumping when he see's Derrick. He wasn't expecting him there. "Oh, uh, hello?"

: Fuck, how did he not notice him coming to the door to leave? Well either way he was caught and he had two choices, lie or own up to being a peeping tom. Eh, he was a terrible liar . "Hey,uh, this probably looks terribly creepy. But I was totally looking through the crack of the door because I find you cute, not trying to be a stalker or anything. It was total happenstance." Maybe he should have stuck with the lie, he wasn't as smooth as he'd like to think he was.

JOHN: John just cleared his throat a little. He was fairly awkward himself. "It's fine. I'm just going through a lot right now okay?" He just stands there, he looks tense, but mostly he feels upset.

#2

: "Yeah I noticed. Look I know you don't know and maybe I've come off pretty odd but if you wanna talk about it I'm always here." He offer kindly, for once not being cocky or flirtatious in the way he spoke.

JOHN: John was almost surprised, the flirty attitude was all he saw about this guy so far. He rubs the back of his neck. "Thanks? I don't know, I don't really want to talk about it right now...I mean I don't know if I should feel ashamed for helping my friend or for siding with heaven for almost all of this only to be thrown away and branded as a traitor anyway..." Oh look at that, he's talking without really realizing it. He doesn't feel completely uncomfortable with Derrick. He doesn't really have a reason to.

: "Well look at it this way, ya help ya friend and found out who's loyal to you and who ain't. So now you know who you count on and who ya can't."He smiled. "Besides you'll find that down here on earth we have a lot more fun, silver linins, sometimes you just have to look a little harder for em "

JOHN: John crosses his arms like he's more so uncomfortable with himself right now. "I guess..." He gives Derrick a small smile. "Thanks for trying to cheer me up."

: "No problem." Derrick smile before turning on his heels to go to bed before stopping and turning back to John. "Oh, an' if you ever want to get off that uncomfortable ass couch just come knock on my door." He offered
