[Karkat hadn't been feeling well all day.

Since he had made the mistake of getting breakfast, he hasn't been able to get the sweet taste of coconut and chocolate out of his mouth. If there was one thing Karkat hated, it was sweet foods. The taste on his tongue was making his skin crawl, making him feel much warmer than he rightfully should have felt.

Or maybe it was something else. Even the Thief of Heart wasn't quite sure what was disturbing him to the point that his fingers felt like the were tingling. The feeling was moving through his limbs as the day went on and he was strangely alert. Nerves. Had to be nerves. Considering who had just arrived in the Tower, it was no wonder really.

Either way, Karkat began to pick at his own lip with his spider-like fangs, tongue sliding across them in thought as he rounded the corner.]

Comments

[caliginous]

[He makes to walk passed her, nudging his hip against her's as he does so. Karkat turns on his heel rather swiftly and rests his chin on her shoulder, hands still in his pockets for the moment.]

You guess?

[scalemate]

[She leans her head against his, resting her back against his chest.]

Sometimes I get sick of you!

[caliginous]

No you don't. You're soaking up all of this attention.

[His hands finally slide out of his pockets and move instead to slide into the front pockets of her pants, hugging her close to him in order to press a kiss to her cheek.]

You can't hide it from me.

[scalemate]

[Oh. That is... Very close, and she flushes.]

Am not. Since when can you read minds?

[caliginous]

Can't. But I can read hearts. Remember~?

[He rolls his last 'r', which probably feels fairly interesting, considering his chin is still perched on her shoulder, near her neck.]

I can do a lot of things.

[scalemate]

[It tickles, actually, and she tries to squirm away. He's laying it on a little thick here, and she has no idea why.]

Like what?

[caliginous]

[He doesn't let her go. In fact, he tightens his grip a little to make sure she doesn't wiggle away from him. She can't see it, but his grin spreads a little wider and warps in a malicious fashion to reveal all rows of pointed fangs.

The tips of his fingers grow warm -- nothing more than a pleasant flush that spreads through his hands, up his arms, seeking to seep into the nearest warm body which so happens to be Terezi. Where it enters, her discomfort will leave, taken by the Thief holding her captive.]

You want a list? Booooring. I can just show you.

[The discomfort he thieved slows his actions down (thank god for that), but he doesn't pull himself away.]

[scalemate]

[For just a split second, she realizes what he's done, and how wrong this is, but then she relaxes against him again and it doesn't seem to matter.]

Fiiine! So pushy.

[caliginous]

I don't know about pushy...

[Karkat presses his lips to her cheek again, softly this time as he attempts to spin her to face him, leaning backwards to mess with her balance. Of course, his arms are there to catch her should she slip, but he's more interested in worming out a proper reaction from her.]

I just know what I want. And I think you do too.

[scalemate]

[Yup, she definitely slips, grabbing his upper arms instinctively even as he catches her. If it weren't for his stupid Thief powers, she'd definitely be absconding right now. As it is, she's pretty chill with this whole thing. She rolls her eyes at his comment, because it's pretty melodramatic.]

I definitely call this pushy!

[caliginous]

Then maybe you should start pulling to compliment all the push.

[He eases her awkward balance by leaning her back against him and resting their foreheads against one another.]

[scalemate]

[She sighs dramatically, rolling her eyes.]

You're so lame.

[But she smiling, and she stands up on her tiptoes to kiss him.]

[caliginous]

[There it is. Just what he was waiting for.

He returns the kiss without cutting corners. His grip on her migrates north, rewarding her with the subtle clip of long, manicured talons. Of course it was subtle...its not as if this was blackrom or anything.

But if it wasn't blackrom, why were his hands still moving up? Why was he tracing patterns in the skin near her neck, contemplating how easy it would be to simply...pluck a vein or two?

Somewhere between his internal monologue, he had deepened their kiss, though his nails continue to tease near those vital areas he suddenly wanted so desperately to pierce.]

[scalemate]

[This is about the point where Terezi's contentment starts to fade. It's not enough for her to shove him off just yet, but enough for her to try to break the kiss. This is getting creepy, bro.]

[caliginous]

[He allows the kiss to be broken, but he won't let her pull away from him without some effort. All in the blink of an eye, his grip on her turns volatile, nails seeking to bite into flesh around her neck.

Karkat starts laughing. Its an amused chuckle, pleased with both himself and the turn of events.]

Hey hey, what's wrong Pyrope? We're just getting started.

[scalemate]

[That's when the last of the Thief effect fades away, and she realizes that he used his abilities on her. Not to help her, but to manipulate her, and she feels a sudden rush of revulsion as she finally breaks away from him and backs up.]

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[caliginous]

Where do you think you're going?

[Karkat pursues her without hindrance, reaching at his hips for both of his sickles. A manic grin has settled on his face, tongue sliding across his fangs in a predatory fashion.]

C'mon, Pyrope. What're you afraid of? It ain't gonna hurt for long. I'll make it quick.

...maybe. Heheheh.

[scalemate]

[Is this really happening? Really? Are all cerulean bloods this insane? She backs up further, trying to reach her dropped cane. Really, he doesn't have much on her. He's not particularly strong and her role makes her immune to his stupid vision eightfold, and as far as she's aware, he can't steal an emotion unless he's actually touching her.

She hesitates as she finally reaches the cane. It only takes a split second to go through each possibly decision and choice and outcome in her mind. She knows that if she reaches for it, he'll charge her. She won't be fast enough to dodge, or to just grab it and run, but the next decision clicks: If she can grab the cane fast enough and shove him back with it, he'll be thrown off and she can get away. So she leans down, snatching it up.]

[caliginous]

[Karkat indeed pursues her, as she predicted, with the sound of metal scraping metal as both sickles slide against one another. No, he's not at all strong, but he's definitely pretty fast.

So the cerulean will rake both scythes upward to try and cut her throat, or any other piece of skin he can reach.]

[scalemate]

[She brings her cane up to meet the sickles, stepping forward to push him back as hard as she can.]

[caliginous]

[Sure enough, it throws all of his weight way off balance, causing him to stumble backwards against the wall. He catches himself with a low growl, nails scraping along the wall as he chucks a sickle blindly at Terezi, instead attempting to stand and reach for any piece of Terezi he can grab with another delayed charge.

If he can just hold her still, maybe he can focus long enough to hold her in place and kill her.]

[scalemate]

[She knows that's coming, but she's not quite quick enough, and the sickle opens a gash along her cheek. She sucks in a sharp breath, stepping out of the way of his charge at the last second in another attempt to throw him off balance. If she manages that, she'll try to bring the head of her cane down on the back of his skull.]

[caliginous]

[Karkat keeps his balance fairly well, but it doesn't stop Terezi from cracking him in the shoulders. He swears viciously and drops his other weapon, slipping and attempting to snap his hand around her cane if she leaves it too long.]

[scalemate]

[She snatches the cane out of his reach and backs up again, brow furrowed. Unfortunately, he's blocking the stairs. Maybe talking herself out of this will be the better way to go.]

Karkat... You're really scaring me.

[caliginous]

[Karkat grins widely, eyelids lowering in a predatory fashion.]

I can fix that.
