Maybe Dreams do Come True

Oh... That's why...

Karkat POV.

You followed Kanaya and Nepeta outside, walking slowly behind them. She handed you a box full of fireworks.

"We're Going To Set Them Up Here." Kanaya said.

Nepeta nods and smiles, ":33< Are you ready Karkitty?"

"NO!" You immediately yell out.

":??< Why not?"

"FFFFF-- I MEAN I CAN'T...!"

":??< Can't what? Set up fireworks?"

"NO! I MEAN... YES! I MEAN... FUCK!"

":??< What's wrong then?" She grabbed the box of fireworks from your arms.

She looked so fucking innocent! Fuuuuuuuuck!

"IT'S... NOTHING..." You look away.

Nepeta pecks your cheek, ":33< You can tell me anything...!"

You feels yourself blush, "I DON'T.... I'M..."

It just doesn't want to go... It's too embarrassing...

":33< You're what?"

"IT'S FUCKING STUPID..."

":33< Please?"

"NO"

":33< Please...?"

You sigh. She won't stop no matter what you say. You take a deep breath, "I'M SC..." You mumble.

She leans closer, ":33< Hmm?"

"I'M SCARED OF..." You mumble louder.

":33< I can't hear you..."

"I'M SCARED OF FUCKING FIREWORKS, NEPETA!" You end up yelling, making her jump, "THEY FLY INTO THE FUCKING AIR AND EXPLODE!! AND THE SOUND DOESN'T EVEN COME UNTIL AFTER THE SHIT EXPLODES AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN SO IT ENDS UP SCARING THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF YOU!!" You cover your face with your hands.

Nepeta POV.

Oh... That's why...

You hug Karkat, trying to comfort him, ":33< It's okay, Karkitty!"

"NO IT'S NOT OKAY!" He starts yelling again, "NOBODY'S AFRAID OF IT! I'M SCARED OF SOMETHING THAT'S SUPPOST TO BE FUCKING CHEERFUL!!"

":33< Karkitty, it's okay--"

"YOU CAN'T TELL ANYONE! I'M NEVER GOING TO HEAR THE END OF IT IF THIS GOES OUT!"

You stay silent for a few seconds.

":33< Is it because it jump-scares you? Or is it another reason?"

He hesitates and sighs, "NO. IT'S NOT A JUMP-SCARE." He begins, "YOU SEE, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, MY LUSUS THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA TO SHOW ME WHAT FIREWORKS LOOK LIKE. I DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT AT FIRST BUT HE CONVINCED ME TO DO IT ANYWAY..."

You nod, signaling him to keep going.

"THEN CAME NEW SWEEPS EVE AND MY LUSUS HAD EVERYTHING READY. HE SHOT ONE IN THE AIR AND, AS YOU'D EXPECT, IT EXPLODED. I WAS SO... 'HAPPY' AT IT THAT I WANTED MORE! HE LAUNCHED ANOTHER ONE BUT..." His voice started to fade.

":((< But what...?"

"IT FELL OVER AND SHOT IT'S WAY... TOWARDS ME... AND..."

You gasp, ":((< OH NO!" You hug Karkat.

"THANK GOG I DODGED IN TIME, BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SCAR ME ETERNALLY..." He turned away, shivering.

":((< Karkat, it's okay..."

"NO IT'S NOT!!" He yells again, "I WAS CRYING NEPETA! CRYING!! I COULDN'T FUCKING CONTROL MY SCREECHES!!! IT WAS SO FUCKING TERRIFYING, NEPETA!! IT WAS--!!" His voice started to quiver as if he was about to cry. Eventually he let out his tears and hugged you tightly.

After a few minutes of sitting on the grass outside, Karkat finally calmed down enough to talk.

":((< Karkitty... I know what it's like to fear something due to personal experience... It's not fun at all... but if you don't say anything, people won't know what's wrong with you and won't be able to help...!"

Karkat sniffed and rubbed his eyes, "Y-YOUR RIGHT... SORRY..."

":33< If you want to, we don't have to go outside when the fireworks start. We can stay inside and count down together!"

"THANKS... I'D LIKE THAT..."

":33< Come on... Let's go..."
