Characters: Terezi Pyrope and AU!Karkat Vantas
Setting: Fourth floor
Format: Action
Summary: Karkat has a surprise for Terezi????
Warnings: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE SURPRISE IS


[Terezi has spent the entire day scouring the Tower for her Karkat, but to no avail. She hadn't really expected to find him after she discovered his name was no longer on the plaque outside his room, but she'd still hoped, just a little. She has no idea what happens when people disappear from the Tower if their worlds are really destroyed, and so she's more than a little bit worried.

But the other Karkat has a surprise for her! That should be a good distraction, right?]

Comments

[caliginous]

[When she hits a certain point in his spine, it arches a bit of its own accord before Karkat forcefully corrects the involuntary action and straightens his back while clearing his throat. His head rests back on her shoulder not long after.]

I didn't say you were.

[scalemate]

[She laughs at that, sneaking her hand up towards his hair.]

You were whining.

[caliginous]

[He sees what she's doing there and he's pretty torn between 'do want' and 'do not want'. So rather than answer he just slowly...ducks away...from her hand.]

[scalemate]

[She's wrinkling her nose at him.]

[caliginous]

...what? Don't look at me like that.

[scalemate]

[She smirks.]

How should I look at you?

[caliginous]

With less displeasure, if you can manage it.

[scalemate]

Nope, sorry! I can't.

[caliginous]

Wow.

[scalemate]

Jeeez, you are such a baby. You know how much I swoon every time I'm around you!

[So pretty much not at all.]

[caliginous]

[DEADEYING HER SO HARD RIGHT NOW.]

If I didn't know better, I'd say that was sarcasm.

[scalemate]

I'm teasing! Jegus, relax.

[caliginous]

I am relaxed!

[No he isn't.]

[scalemate]

[She leans forward, kissing him on the forehead.]

Liar.

[caliginous]

[He mumbles.]

Tease.

[scalemate]

[PFFFFFT.]

You're calling me a tease?

[caliginous]

Yes. I am. At least I follow through.

[He puffs out his chest indignantly.]

[scalemate]

What does that mean?

[caliginous]

Nevermind.

[And with that, he picks her up off his lap and sets her beside him instead.]

[scalemate]

[WOOOOW um what just happened????]

Now what did I do?

[caliginous]

Nothing.

[And once she's there he just...lays himself across her lap, face planted into the couch.

Dignity? She already ruined most of that.]

[scalemate]

[WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?]

Karkat!

[caliginous]

[There's a muffled "WHAT" from the couch before he turns his head to look at her with his seven-pupiled eye and tries again.]

What?

[scalemate]

[He is so ridiculous. Why did she agree to be his matesprit again?]

What's wrong?
