The bell rings, signaling the end of the day. I drop my books off at my locker and head out the building. I pull jacket close and meet Karkat by the front steps.
"I ASSUME YOU DON'T REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT HERE. DID YOU WANT TO TALK AT MY PLACE?" he asks.
I shake my head and grab his hand.
"Let's go to mine. I don't want to talk about this in front of your brother..." I trail off, pleading with my eyes.
He nods and follows me home. I don't know why, but holding his hand is comforting and I don't want to let go. Finally we arrive and I let go of his hand to pull out my keys. I unlock the door and let him in.
"Home sweet home", I mutter.

My eyes go wide when her door opens. Her apartment is huge. I could definitely live here.

(Y
) tosses her bag across the room and jumps on to the couch. And pats the seat next to her. I follow her but take a more polite route.
"SO WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT?" I ask as she grabs my hand again.
"Not Dave, if that's what you're thinking. Thanks for that by the way..." She moves her gaze toward the window and continues "I wanted to talk about what happened after. At your place."
My face flushes as I think about the kiss. I turn away embarrassed.
"I..I like you Karkat. But, I want to take things slow. Is that okay?" (Y/n) asks.
I look back at her now, surprised by her question. She's blushing worse than I was.
{Reader POV}
Anxiety is building up in the pit of my stomach as I wait for his answer. He's taking too long. I shouldn't have said anything. This was a bad idea.
"I'D LIKE THAT."
He smiles and places the hand I'm not holding on my cheek and leans his forehead against mine.
(A/n) sorry it's late guys. I know I promised this on Wednesday but here's a new chapter. Work has been weird lately and I work graves. So I'm going to start updating on Thursdays.
