Characters and Emotions 3

You are KARKAT VANTAS and it has been exactly 17 hours since you hugged John Egbert. It is now 2PM in the veil, and you are still thinking about yesterday. He hugged you back, yeah, and maybe you blushed more then usual, sure, and maybe, JUST MAYBE these flushed feelings you have may be more human, such as this disease you've heard from them called 'love', but that's a major IF. MAJOR.

Moving on, you glad you have alone time. The rest of the team is gone on a planning thing or something else just as stupid so you have time to think. You may like Egderp deeply, but there's nothing quite like being alone.

>>TALK TO YOURSELF

And talking out aloud to yourself.

"STUPID grubbing human internet, why won't you work normally?! Isn't this Google thing supposed to be the greatest of fleshy websites or something? The ultimate place for pages upon pages of useless human nook sucking information? Then WHY the fuck can't you tell me what 'love' is? Explain it to me you stupid SHIT MY GOG- oh hey it opened."

>>EXPLANATION

You are currently searching through roses laptop to find useful information on your possibly more-human-then-troll feelings for John when you discovered that her 'internet' still works. Probably because of her Grimdark magic, but whatever. The main web page is this amazing piece of shit called 'Google' and in the span of a single hour you've been on it, you've learned more about Earth then you could have in a whole day. You decide it's the greatest shit humans created. You also decided at some point to search this 'love' thingy, along with Earth cinema. It's not like you care, it's more like 'why-the-fuck-not'. And you only just got the only website with actual definitions to finally open the hell up.

"Oh my GOG this doesn't make sense.", but you keep reading. You're also so focused on reading that you neglect to hear the door open. Yet you still keep talking out loud.

>>CONTINUE READING OUT LOUD

"Huh. Okay that part about love makes a bit of sense I guess. Am I even pronouncing this thing right? Lll..llllloOoOooovvvehhhh. Loveeeeeeeee. . .Okay so now I sound like an idiot UGH. Pain in your chest, huh? Meaning like, throbbing when you're near them right? That's pretty accurate I think. Oh FUCK THIS. I'm a romantic expert. It's an embarrassment that I'm looking at a grubbing HUMAN WEBSITE in the fucking FIRST PLACE. WHY AM I DOING THIS ITS SO POINTLESS AND ITS MAKING ME TALK TO MYSELF OUT LOUD AND oh it says love can make you do crazy things like that so I guess I'm not to crazy but FUCK I DONT WANT TO BE HUMAN WHY DFOES IT SAY 'ITS ONLY HUMAN' ARGHHHHH!!!", you presume to nail your head to the table multiple times. You also proceed to jump the fuck out of your chair screaming and land face first on the floor when a hand touches your shoulder.

>>HOLY SHIT

You jump up quickly and pull out your sickles, only to see a very sly-faced Rose glaring at you. You then put your sickles away and blush insanely. You swerve your eyes toward the still open computer window and swear under your breathe as you close the FUCKING GOG DAMN UNFORGIVING window screen of Google. You turn back to Rose and cross your arms, hopeful that you blush looks more like rage than embarrassment.

"Uh, hi.", you mutter pathetically, and mentally punch yourself because of it. Rose nods her head.

"Hello Karkat. Is there anything else you needed from my computer that would help you with your study of your feelings for John?"

"Well yes actually- WAIT WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT," you again mentally smack yourself. Rose smirks and sits down in the computer chair, leaning back. She gestures toward her bed. You sigh and sit down on it because well you're already fucked since you got caught. She wheels her chair over and slips out a notebook.

You decide this is most likely what humans refer to as 'living-hell'.

>>DEEP EMOTIONAL talking WITH ROSE HUMAN

"All right then, Mr. Vantas. Presumably, you are very fond of John, correct?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Mr. Vantas."

"YES I AM SO FUCKING FLUSHED ITS NOT EVEN CORRECT TO CALL IT NEON RED COLORED ALL RIGHT FUCKING DAMN LALONDE."

"Moving on."

>>>>FAST FORAWRD 20 MINUTES

"Well I'm proud to say that you are a cross between you're troll quadrant, "Matespriteship' and the human quadrant of 'Love'. Congrats, Karkat."

"FUCK YOU."

"No thank you. Now, do you have any idea how to go about this?"

"DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAD AN IDEA BECAUSE THEN I WOULDNT HAVE BEEN HERE ON YOUR FUCKING COMPUTER YOU STUPID GRUBSUC-"

"I will inform you that John feels the same, if that helps any. He is just to much of a, hm, 'derp' as Dave would say, to do anything about it."

"What?"

"Indeed.  He is guilty because he told you he wasn't a homosexual, but he now realizes he is a bisexual and does actually have feelings for you. But John is worried you will reject him and not want to be around him anymore if he tells you now, so he hasn't and won't do a thing. I've tried to tell him this because it is quite obvious you still like him, but he has yet to take my advice on the matter."

"....Holy shit. Why have you not told me this before?! GOD DAMN IT WHAT DO I DO LALONDE?!"

She smiles happily, closing her notebook.

"Ask Jade. She is more likely to know how to tell John things and make him understand that it is not a joke."

And she leaves.
