[Still silent she stops in front of her. Noodles cocks its head at the impostor, meows, and jumps off the couch. Vriska stares down at Nepeta through Karkat's eyes and reaches for her wrist.]

[This was becoming stranger by the second. She really wished he would just speak up already. Or at last make some noise. Yell, insult, complain about something, stomp his feet, he didn't even look pissed off which made her sure that something was just about to go bursting out of him worse than anything she had seen before.

Even stranger than that is what she is seeing behind him. Is that Vriska? It certainly looked like her, but so much older. She recalled when they had first talked how unusually bothered Karkat seemed by the fact that Vriska was a sweep older, but it still seemed very odd that she would appear in his thoughts. She had expected...she didn't know. Red. Bright red, dead trolls, and feelings of guilt. She knew how he blamed himself for everything, but Vriska?]

U-um. Erm. Is...is something wrong? You're being pawfully quiet. [That was suppose to come out as teasing but she could here the nervousness in her voice.] Eheh in fact I don't think I've ever heard.

[But then he's in front of her and she loses her voice. When he reaches for her wrist her entire body tenses, and she can't even think of moving.]

[Lifting her hand up to her lips she kissed the back of her palm, eyes still trained on her. What the hell were those glasses for? Never mind that she smiled, sharp teeth exposed under curled black lips.]

Now she saw Vriska again. The 7 sweep old Vriska, and she was doing something she never would have expecting. Crying. For a moment Nepeta is so startled by the image and the feelings of self-loathing that come with it that she actually doesn't pay much mind to Karkat taking ahold of her wrist.

What was going on here?

It wasn't until she felt lips against her hand that her eyes go back to him to another sight just as shocking.

Karkat smiling.

Holy shit. Someone had started playing SGRUB somewhere on this planet. The meteors would be coming any minute and the world would end.

WHAT WAS GOING ON HERE?]

[She knew what she was doing this time. Equius was a failure that she managed to get herself out of, but she wouldn't mess up again now. So she pulls her closer by tugging her arm and wraps her other arm around her waist. It's almost like they're about to dance, faces so close, hands held tightly...]

[moirailcompass]

[Curious as she was about what was going on behind Karkat, it was hard to ignore what was going on right in front of her. She is reminded a bit of when they danced at Homecoming, but this seems much more intimate than that. They are alone now, absolutely nothing prompted had prompted this, and this was much closer than they were before.

The nervousness in her eyes was undeniable and try as she might she could not calm her racing heart. She swallows to clear the knot in her throat, unable to meet his eyes but unable to pull away either.]

K-Karkitty you're making me a little nervous here, eheh. What's going on?

[There's a heavy silence over both of them, excluding the gentle purrs from Noodles. Vriska-Clad-In-Karkat starts to pull Nepeta into a dance, a slow and steady waltz-but-not-really. She leans down further and lightly brushes her lips (his) over the poor Leo's.]

[moirailcompass]

[Her heart began to speed up as he pulled her into the waltz and she found herself tripping over her feet. Coordination seemed a rather difficult task at the moment with the confusion she felt and the sudden inability to retain any semblance of calm.]

O-oh dances, huh? Eheh, yea our dance back at Homecoming was really nice. Thanks for that, Karkitty. I know it wasn't really your sorta thing so I appurciate it. Well I guess purrhaps you changed your mind about that? Since we're dancing now I mean and without any sort of purrompt. Sorry if I step on your feet I haven't really done it since last time and --

[Her rambling was cut short when he began to lean down, and she felt every muscle in her body seize up. He wasn't really going to--was he? The faint brush of his lips against hers was the answer. She reflexively jerked her head back, her entire face and the tips of her ears turning a bright emerald color. She opened and closed her mouth, obviously wanting to say something but that small, but significant motion had effectively shut her up.]

[He had kissed her. Karkat had actually kissed her.]

[Sure it was just a ghost-like brush of his lips, but that was close enough for Nepeta. Close enough to set her face aflame and thrust millions of butterflies in her stomach. To fill her with happiness at the hope that he may actually, after all, return her feelings.

There was so much she wanted to say but she had lost her voice. So she replaced words with action, and slowly, uncertainly began to lean up to give him a kiss in turn.]
