Summary: KARKAT'S GOT SOME 'SPLAININ' TO DO.
Warnings: Yeah I know JENNY STOP POSTING

[As soon as Terezi was done showing Kanaya around the Tower, she made a beeline for Karkat's room. Her anger had dulled a bit, but now, standing in front of his door, it flares up again. For once, she actually knocks, because she needs the time to compose herself so that she doesn't just barge in and punch him in the face.

Hey, maybe Kanaya was wrong. Maybe he hadn't been toying with her.

She doubts it.]

[Surprisingly enough, she actually doesn't pull away. She only glares at him.]

You were doing a good job of acting like you were flushed, too. What were you going to do when I brought it up? Treat me like I was being ridiculous, like you're doing now?

[He stays silent for a moment before he opts for honesty.]

I didn't have that planned out. Like I said, this wasn't really a planned affair.

[First smart thing he's done all night. She steps back, breaking his hold on her.]

You aren't even going to admit you were wrong, are you?

I could, but it wouldn't make you feel any better.

[She narrows her eyes.]

It would be a start.

Alright, alright.

[Pause.]

You never answered me. What prompted this?

[Hey, look at that. He actually admitted it! She never thought he would. She takes another step back, plopping down on one of the beds.]

It doesn't matter.

Yes it does, or I wouldn't have asked.

[He actually looks a little angry, though its impossible to say why.]

[She sighs. She's too tired to even argue anymore.]

Kanaya warned me.

[His knuckles crack as they curl and it takes every ounce of his self control not to walk out the door and charge after Kanaya.

That little rat. He was going to wring her neck.]

Right.

You don't think she should have.

[He straightens himself in a dignified fashion.]

Its none of her business. Like I'm a god damn plague.

She's your moirail, isn't she? That makes it her business, stupid.

I still haven't gotten an apology.

[WHOOPS, TIME TO IGNORE THAT QUESTION.]

It'd be insincere. I can apologize for being a douchebag.

[She scowls, but hey, at least he's being honest.]

Then do it!

Alright, alright. Sorry I'm a douchebag.

Is there anything else you're sorry for?

[LIKE TOTALLY BREAKING HER HEART MAYBE?]

Would you stop that? I already told you I didn't do it maliciously.

[She's silent for a moment, then shrugs, her voice quiet.]

It still hurts.

[There's a long pause of silence where his frustration just builds and builds before he abruptly stands and smacks the door open to get to a computer terminal to type a message.]

[Wow, okay, Karkat. Way to be a douchebag. She doesn't follow of course, just sits on the bed and tries to decide if she should storm off herself.]

[When he returns, he looks considerably calmer, though he can't quite stop the shaking in his hands -- it turns into slight twitching of his fingers.]

[She's silent for a long moment. Part of her is still angry at him, but unfortunately, that doesn't mean she still doesn't care about him.

Siiigh.]

What?

[He looks at her briefly, as if considering being honest, before he simply looks away and strides in the other direction. No, he's too shaken for this.]

Nothing.

[Somehow, that response only irritates her further, and she doesn't respond. She simply stands up and heads for the door.]

[He doesn't stop her -- he's way too focused on trying to keep his cool, considering she's still in the room. He's silently hoping she'll just keep walking before the gasket pops.]

[Yup, she is definitely gone. Way to fuck up, Karkat!]
