Listening {Karkat X Reader X Dave}

Karkat and I continued our way to the store, holding hands. His fingers were locked together with mine, and I couldn't help but stare at his face the whole way to the store. His jaw made such a perfect line, his lips were beautifully rounded, and his bright brown eyes radiating joy. My thoughts were brought back to our kiss. I blushed just thinking about it, and pressed a finger to my lips.

My childhood crush just used up my first kiss!

Holy crap! That's like the less intense version of losing your virginity! The realization hit me like a truck, I just freaking kissed a guy!

"Hey, Kar? Does this mean we're... well... a thing now?" I asked nervously, afraid he might just use me up and throw me out.

"Well I don't think I'd do that with someone I wasn't planning on being with, dumbass," he said. He was trying to be grumpy but I saw the smile on his face. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and squeezed his hand.

We finally got into the store. After getting everything we needed, Grandma called and said Karkat's mom wanted him home. He gave me a long, tingling kiss before we split our paths.

"He kissed you!" Grandma yelped as soon as I walked in. I squealed, dropping the bag from the store and stumbled away, falling butt-first onto the ground.

"How'd you know?" I smiled at her. She smirked mischievously at me.

"Since your mom fell for that idiot rich snob, I'm your mother-substitute. I have to know these things," she smirked. I gave her a lop-sided smile and continued to put the groceries on the counter. Soon after that, I fell asleep on the couch watching my favorite anime.

I woke up to my phone buzzing in my pocket. I checked it and saw tons of pesterchum notifications from a turntechGodhead and 2 from Karkat. I read Karkat's first.

*((YC stands for yourChumhandle because Idk what u want it as :P))

CG: I GAVE DAVE YOUR PESTERCHUM. I DON'T FUCKING CARE IF YOU CARE.

CG: HIS CHUMHANDLE IS TURNTECHGODHEAD. STUPID, RIGHT?

YC: I guezz? I mean, I think it zoundz juzt fine tbh. :3

I had developed my own quirk. Lots of kids at my other schools did it, and I used examples from them to make my very own unique quirk: replacing "s" with "z" and ending absolutely every text with an emoji.

CG: WHAT FUCKING EVER. ARE YOU GOING TO SCHOOL TOMORROW?

YC: Haha, unlezz I get zick, yeah. I wonder if anyone mizzed me? :T

CG: I BET SOMEONE MISSED YOU. YOU'RE TOO GREAT TO NOT BE MISSED.

YC: Awww ur zo adorable!!! My lil Kitkat~ CX

CG: ...

CG: <3

YC: <3

I smiled and hugged my phone, blushing even though it was just a compliment over the internet. Remembering Dave's texts, I went to go check what he had said.

TG: whaddup dog

TG: heya frog

TG: whats takin so long

TG: are ya chilling like a cog in a log

TG: on the edge of a bog

TG: wait what the fuck even is a bog

TG: is bog a word

TG: you have my full attention when you decide to show the fuck up

TG: should I feel stood up

TG: thats it ive been stood up

You smiled at Dave's odd humor. Ironically, his ironic irony made you laugh unironically. You found his humour understandable.

YC: How can I ztand you up if I didn't even know we were on a date?? :/

TG: aw you have one of those retarded typing things

YC: It'z a quirk! X]

YC: And minez pretty underztandable. I just put "z"z where "s"z go! :3

TG: man I dont care trying to read a quirk or whatever the fuck is like reading morse

TG: except the morse is in a code where you have to add the first number said that got all up and blinked or whatever with the number right after it

TG: then if the number is higher than 26 you subtract 5 until its under 26

TG: hey wait screenshot that

TG: oh fuck best typo ever

YC: Why zhould I zcreenzhot it?? X3

TG: just do it

TG: because I told you

TG: obey

YC: Okay okay calm down mothertrucker XC

TG: i dont know

YC: Well I have to go, zorry mate. :(

TG: "zee ya zoon ya big baboon"

YC: XD

I looked at the time on my phone and read 10:57. Wow, it was already a lot later than I thought. After running to my room, I plugged my phone into its charger and flopped down on the bed. Then before I knew it, I had fallen asleep again.
