[Karkat frowns at that. Usually he's good about checking the network and trolling people who ask for romantic advice, but it's been a bad time for him lately.]

The thing is, with Naruto, you HAVE to go the direct route. Nothing short of beating it into his thick pan with all the force of a fucking sledgehammer will make it stick.

[he picks up more trash, debating whether or not to ask, then does it anyway.]

So, how it that going to work? I mean, I get that you're not the same person, but between you working with Neji and her trying to date that dumbass...

[She laughs a little]

[The question makes her drop some of the plates in her hand and her scowls] [She huffs and crouches down, picking up the plate but not making a move to stand again]

[Which hurts. A lot.]

[Life is hard. It's hard and no one understands]

[dungenessmaster]

[hey, this game of bringing up sensitive romantic issues works both ways, Bold.

still, that situation royally sucks.]

That's kind of fucked up that anyone has to step down. There's no way to compromise? Like, Lain gets one day, you get the other, something like that?

[There is something undeniably bitter in her voice]

[dungenessmaster]

Hmm... yeah, you have a point. Shit, this is complicated.

[he focuses on cleaning again.]

Still, it's not like those two don't already see you as two different people, right? I mean, don't get me wrong, I still think that's kind of batshit, but what the hell do I know. Crazier things happen all the time.

Since it involves Neji and Naruto anyway, maybe you should talk it over. The four of you, I mean. Probably they won't understand, but look at it this way. If they don't, you haven't lost anything, because you already decided to give up on Neji. But if they do...

[he shrugs. it's a tough situation from any angle.]

[She stands from her crouch and lazily tosses one of the plastic spoons at him (to change it up from the cups) and grins]

[She's just teasing.

Probably]

[dungenessmaster]

[Karkat reaches up to catch the spoon, but what she says afterward surprises him enough that he completely fumbles.]

Wait, what?

[wiredgod.livejournal.com]

[She smirks and moves forward, grabbing at Karkat's shirt to yank him into a very brief, chaste kiss.

And then she's letting him go, tossing her head back with a bright laugh]

[She calls it over her shoulder as she runs off]

[dungenessmaster]

[Karkat's body language is nothing short of flailing, impotent shock as she kisses him. he doesn't even recover enough to kiss back before she runs off not that he was going to or anything.

he just watches her go, jaw halfway to the floor.

because what the hell was that.]
