You heard the ringing of keys from outside the door, and then the key turning in the lock, unlocking the door. You smiled and walked out of the kitchen of your small shared apartment, grin plastered on your face.
You'd been waiting for him to come home all day, and you were extremely excited to tell him about the painting you had finished about an hour ago, and then began making his favorite dinner.
"Hey pumpkin! How was wo-" You stopped mid sentence, looking at the scene that was happening right in front of your eyes. There, standing right in front of you, was your boyfriend of two years, and some other troll. Making out, with you standing right there. You stood there shocked for a few a seconds, letting it sink in. How could he do this to you?
"Hey asshole! What the fuck?" You grabbed the other trolls shirt collar, and pulled him away from your so called 'lover', slamming him into the opposite wall. You slapped him as hard as you could, and then walked over to future ex.
"How could you? What the ever loving fuck did I do wrong?!" Your eyes began to well with tears, "I did everything! I pay bills, I cook for you, I clean for you, and I love you the best I can, and you do this?!" You point to the other troll, but your eyes never left his. His mouth was hung open in shock, but he closed it and finally said something.
"[Name], I'm thorry. Thith obviouthly ithnt working out,"
"Noooo, really? Please inform me how this isn't 'working out'? Maybe its the fact that you brought a seadwelling whore home!"
"Hey!" You turned to the purple blooded troll quickly,
"Can it, fish-fuck." You turned back to the other asshole, motioning for him to continue.
"Ath I wath thaying, thith ithnt working out and I think your crathy, and a huge bitch."
"Alright! Thanks for sharing that with me! And also, since I'm such a bitch I guess I'll get my stuff and go then!"
"Fine! Thee if I care!" You stormed to your room, packed your stuff, pushed him out of the way, yanked open the door, and slammed the door behind you. Your glad you didn't bring much when you started living with him, most of your things were still at your morail's house.
"Go to hell!" You yelled through the door, before making your way to your car. You got in, slammed that door, and pulled off, driving to a place where you knew you were safe. A place you knew no one would ever betray you. A place called the Vantas hive.
As soon as you parked, you ran up to his hive door and knocked loudly.
"Karnubs!!! Open up!!" You held in your growing tears the best you could. "Come on Karkat, I know your here, you never leave the house!"
"I'm coming, asshole!" You heard his loud voice, followed by his stomping to the door. Amazing, everything about him is loud, even his feet. The door swung open, and you gave him your best close eyed smile,
"Um, hey Karkles. W-would it be okay if I moved back with you?" Your voice cracked slightly, making his eyes widen. He grabbed your wrist and pulled you into his hive, closing the door behind himself, and pulling you into a hug. Right then, you couldn't hold it in anymore, and the tears that had been burning your eyes were finally released to fall onto your best friend's shoulder. You slowly wrapped your arms around his neck, fists clenching slightly. You felt like you were going to die of heart ache. You sniffled, and mumbled to Karkat.
"I-I ca-n't believe he-he'd do that! Karkat, he-he cheated on m-me with E-Eridan! God dammit, I should've known t-that they'd g-get back together! Fuck, Karkat, it fucking hurts! It hurts so badly, and I don't know what to about it." You sobbed, as Karkat brought his hand to pet your hair, bringing little more comfort to you. You feel so safe, and warm in his arms, its a great feeling. You never felt anything like this with Sollux, that's odd. You felt him tense up, guessing he was pissed at Sollux now.
"Come on." He pulled you up the stairs to his room, with his arm wrapped around your shoulder. He then sat you down on your old bed, that you had slept on when you lived with him. You and him used to share a room, not because there weren't any other rooms to stay in, but because you liked being with each other as much as possible. You smiled sadly at the old memory, making him look at you with a questioning glance.
You giggle before explaining, "Remember when we used to watch your sappy movies and you'd end up crying, and then you'd rant because I laughed?" He chuckled slightly, "Or when we used play Call of Duty, and you always ended up rage quiting, because we'd play death match mode, and I'd always sneak up behind you and shot you in the face when you turned around?" You laughed through your tears, holding your stomach. This brought a smile to Karkat's face, he loves to see you smile.
After you stopped laughing, you wiped away the left over tears, and smiled up at him. "I'm sorry I ever moved out." You paused to brush your hair out of your face, "I just thought I had found 'the one', like in your sappy movies But, apparently that wasn't the case." You folded your arms over your chest, head down.
"You know, sometimes in my movies at least, the main character falls for the wrong person, when he person they belong with was right in front of them." You blinked, and raised your head to look in his eyes, blush beginning to form on your face.
"You mean your-"
"Yeah, [Name]. I'm fucking flushed for you." Your blush deepened, and you tried to say something back, but you couldn't find the words, so your mouth just kept opening and closing, making you look like a fish out water. "Its fucking fine is you don't feel the same about me, and you did just get out of a bad relationship. Dammit, I knew I shouldn't have said anything! I-"
"Karkat, I need to ask you questions." He stopped and gave you yet another questioning glance, "The feeling your talking about, flushing, I think I'm feeling that too. When you see me, do you want to hug me, but run away at the same time? Because that's what it feels like to me. Or, I just want to hug you and be with you all the time. Is that what flushing is like?" He blinked, before pulling you to him, at capturing your lips in his. Your eyes widened, before closing and enjoying the kiss. Sadly, you needed air, so you had to pull away.
"I love you, Karnubs." You grinned up at him, which he returned with his own.
"Flushed for you too, [Name]." And with that, he pulled you into another kiss.
