Kankri's POV
As we entered John's apartment a ring comes from my bag signaling that I had gotten a text message. I set my bag down as I proceeded to retrieve my phone from the compartment that was holding it. I unlocked the phone and opened said text. It read "Hey! It's _____. Just checking to see if you get this message or not." I smiled at the message as I wrote a reply. "OH MY GOG. HE'S SMILING. ARE YOU SICK OR SOME SHIT? QUICK SOMEONE GRAB A FUCKING CAMERA WE NEED TO FUCKING CAPTURE THIS PHENOMENON SO PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELEVE US WHEN WE SAY THAT THIS ASS HAT FUCKING SMILED" I was about to reply to Karkat's comment when I had gotten another message from ______ so I disregarded his triggering comment, for now at least.
~~~ your POV ~~~~
"Hey! It's _____. Just checking to see if you get this message or not." Is what the text that I just sent Kankri said. I had just entered my home when my phone beeped. "Hell9 ______, I presume y9u had a safe ride h9me?" Giggling a little at the text I replayed "Your presumption would be correct how about you? How was your ride home?" I go to my room, drop my bag on the floor and hop on to my bed. Dad isn't home yet so its pretty quiet. He normally does not get home until around five. Seven if he decides to go to the bar with his friends. A beep took me out of my thoughts. I grabbed my laptop and booted it up while I checked my phone. "Yes I did. 6ut I had t9 have a talk with J9hn a69ut unnecessary sh9uting and h9w triggering it may 6e." Ah yes. He did mention that he was friends with John Egbert. "Oh! I didn't know that you lived near John. Its nice that you have a friend to sit with on the bus with
" Well that is a nice surprise. I logged into my computer and checked my messages on deviantart. "Yes I supp9se it is. Please excuse me 6ut it seems that I must have a chat with my y9unger 6r9ther a69ut going th9u 9ne's 6el9ngings with 9ut permissi9n." After quickly replying to his text I messed around on YouTube. Sometimes dancing or singing along with a song, or watching a movie and acting out some of the scenes.
The front door opened and someone walked in. "______?" It was your father. You quickly exited your room and into the living room where your father would be. "Welcome home dad!" You greeted him with a smile and a hug. He did the same. "It's nice to be home, with my little girl that is."
"Daaaaad! I'm not a little kid anymore!" You protested. He laughed "I know. I know. But you'll always be my little girl no matter what!" He ruffled your hair and you laughed a little. "I know. Just PLEASE don't call me that out side. I don't need to get bullied again."
"Ok sweetheart." Soon after that you went about your daily routine for when your father gets home.

"Hey dad what do you want for dinner?"
"What? Oh no. You are not cooking tonight. Today was the first day of the second semester for you, I'm cooking tonight." You sigh. "Alright, fine." You go sit next to the spot where you dad was as he gets up to prepare the food.
~~~ 15 minutes later~~~
BEEP BEEP BEEP. The smoke detector started to ring. The smell of smoke lingered throughout the house. You sigh for what seemed like for the millionth time today and got up from your comfy spot on the couch to see what your father was doing in the kitchen. As you see the fire spewing out of the pan you grab the fire extinguisher and put it out, as it was getting out of control. You waved at the smoke trying to clear it from your face. "Soooo, pizza?" You suggest, getting rid of the silence. This time it was your fathers turn to sigh. "Pizza sounds terrific." You exit the kitchen grabbing the house phone. You dialed the the number from memory and listened to the phone on the other line ring.
~~~25 minutes later~~~
The door bell rings. You ,being the one who has the money, gets up to answer the door. As you open the door you are greater with a surprisingly familiar face. The person that is now in front of you has blond hair and pointy anime shads. It was the one and only Dirk Strider. He looked the same except for his cloths. Instead of his usual gray tank top and shorts he was wearing a polo with the name of the pizzeria on it and a pair of skinny jeans. "Sup _____. You ordered a pizza?"
"Yeah i did. I didn't know you worked for (pizzeria's name)."
"Yeah. Its a pretty new job, and by pretty new I mean today is my first day."
"Oh cool!" You handed him the money and he handed you the pizza. As you did so the opening to (anime) started to play. "You watch (anime)?"
"Yeah its one of my favorites. Wait how did you know the name of it?"
"I watch it too. Its a pretty good series."
"Huh. I didn't know you liked anime."
"Like? _____, do you even see my shades? We should get together some time and watch anime together."
"Deal. Well talk more about it in school kay?"
"Sure. See ya tomorrow then _____."
"Yeah see ya." Dirk walks back to his car and you close the door with pizza in hand. You head back to the couch and call your father for dinner.
You and your father finished the whole large pizza. He said that he was going to clean up the mess so you decided to take a shower. Soon it became 10 o'clock and you decided to get some sleep. The next couple of weeks went well for you. You and Kankri have grown closer and closer. You started talking to Dirk about anime and swords. Who knew that he was an Otaku AND a Brony! Even though you haven't been hanging out with Ashley as much as you used to, she still remains your best friend and the only person that knows of the crush that you have developed on Kankri. She's always telling you that you should just tell him how you feel. You always give an excuse like "But it's too late to tell him I'll tell him tomorrow" or "If I do and he doesn't feel the same then what?". She just sighs and says "Well he's going to find out sooner or later and if its not from you then he's going to be 'triggered'". You hate having those type of talks with her. It's the weekend now though and your rocking out to some of your favorite songs. Your fathers not home so you're playing you're music loud and proud! Your stomach begins to growl at you so you head to the kitchen to make something to eat. Unfortunately your dad took the rest of the leftovers with him to work so you're left with lunch meat and some bread. Man you need to go food shopping. "Well better to eat now then later" you say to yourself. You make the sandwich and sit down at your computer to watch one of your animes. Afterwards you got ready to go out and shot your dad a text saying where you were going to be.

"Hey hot stuff. Do you have a mirror in your pocket? 'Cause I can see myself in your pants." God dammit! This always seems to happen. You ignore him to the best of your ability. This tactic has worked in the past so you're hoping it works now as well. "Aww com' on babe don't be like that." Damn he's persistent. Aaaaand now his little 'posse' has gathered around. Just perfect. Obviously ignoring them is not going to work this time. You look around the store looking for some place to hide. "Com' on baby if you hang out with us we'll make sure you'll have lots of 'fun'." Ugh you hate those pickup lines with a passion. Then out of the corner of your eye you saw him. It was a miracle. It was the one and only red sweatered troll, Kankri. You made your way out of the small crowd and ran over to Kankri. "Kankri!" You shouted before you made it over to him. Just as he turned and saw you, you hugged him and turned him so his back was facing those creeps. "_____?" He was confused to say the least. Yet he wasn't the only one. Both John and Karkat were there with Kankri. "WHO THE FUCK-" Karkat was interrupted by you not paying attention to him and pleading to Kankri. "I am so so so sorry for this in advance and for probably triggering you beyond belief. Please please please! Forgive me." As the guys that were hitting on you came near, you did what none of them were expecting. You went on your toes and kissed Kankri.
You kissed him. You actually kissed him. You just kissed your crush, Kankri Vantas. As you kissed him you could have swore you heart tile shattering. That sound was Karkat's jaw dropping and braking 10 cinder blocks on its way down. John was trying to hold back a snicker from Karkat's reaction and an 'aww' from you kissing Kankri. The delinquents that followed you only scoffed at your actions. "You're kidding right? You'd actually rather hang out with these freaks than us?" That's it. That was the last straw. Now you're pissed.
Kankri's POV
_____'s is actually kissing me! I don't need to see to know that Karkat's jaw had hit the ground in disbelief and that John is trying to contain a laugh. I was so happy until someone behind me spoke up. "Your kidding right? You'd actually rather hang out with these freaks than us?" Freaks. Now there's a name that I haven't herd in a while. _____ pulled away from me. She had a look of fury and a bit of a violent aura around her. "The people that I hang out with is my choice and mine alone. Besides I would rather hang out with these so called 'freaks' then guys who only think about sex and when they are going to get their next hit. Oh and fyi using sexists pick up lines that degrade women is not the way to pick up a girl, unless, they have the same mental problems as yourself. Now I suggest you leave before I call the cops on your pathetic asses for harassment!" _____'s outburst left me speechless. I guess the guys got the hint or felt the violent aura and left. "Holy crap" Karkat spoke first. For once he wasn't yelling it. _____ turned around to face us. "S-sorry you had to see that." She apologized. She was blushing, probably from embarrassment. "That....was.......AWESOME!" John shouted. "Uhh thanks?" _____ replied back obviously a bit confused by John's excitement. "Soooo what brings you to this store today?" _____ asked. I could tell that she was trying to dismiss the awkwardness that was looming. "Oh well we came here looking for baking supplies. This is the closest store with a wide range of it." _____ sighed. "Let me guess. All the other stores had crocker corp stuff right?"
"HOW'D YOU KNOW!" She chuckled. "You never change do you John." As John and _____ were talking Karkat came up to me and started whispering. "Alright nook whiffer how the hell did you do it and when did it happen?"
"I have no idea what your going on about, and will you stop using such crude language around me. You know just as much as everyone else how much it triggers me. Furthermore you should not disrespect your own brother. Others may come to believe that you have no respect for others when they talk." Never looking away from _____ I kept my speech short so that i would be able to listen to her voice. Karkat simply replied with "Yeah whatever fuck ass I can see that she has an effect on you." and walked back over to John and _____. I fallowed him just in time for John to introduce Karkat. "_____ as you may be wondering, this guy right here is Karkat Vantas. He's Kankri's younger brother if you haven't guessed that already." She smiled at Karkat before speaking "Its nice to finally meet you Karkat! Ive herd quite a lot about you from Kankri." He rolled his eyes "Yeah I'm sure you have". _____ only giggled at Karkat's sarcasm. "So while we're here why don't we all just shop together? I was running low on food at the house and I probably know the layout of this store better then you guys, so, I can help find the things that you need. And in return the presence of you three will keep all the creeps that try to hit on me away." We all looked at each other before Karkat spoke up. "Yeah, I guess your not that bad of a girl since you stood up for us." _____ smiled in delight. "Great! So where shall we start!"
~~~Time skip~~~
~~~ Your POV~~~
The whole time that we were in the store John and Karkat kept running off somewhere. Well no that's not true. It was more of John finding something that he thought was cool and he would drag Karkat with him to go check it out. Witch ended up leaving Kankri and I alone for a little while. It's nice because we don't really get any time to hang out alone like this in school. "So how do you and John know each other?" Kankri asked me.
"John was in some of my classes in elementary school. He was pretty much friends with everyone back then. He probably is still friends with most of the school. He really hasn't changed at all. I haven't seen him since then so it's nice to talk to him again."
"Forgive me for asking if it triggers you but why haven't you seen him since then?"
"Well shortly after I met John I transferred to a different school district. I came back to this one at the beginning of high school."
"If you were going to attend high school here then why transfer out just to comeback later?" I hesitated for a second.
"I'm sorry to leave you hanging like this but it's a really triggering topic for me to talk about, sorry". I can just feel parts of my body beginning at ache from the memories. "What about you? How do you know John?" He also hesitated from the question. "Well.... It's complicated..." I shook my head. "It's ok you don't have to tell me." I smiled at him then continued to shop. An hour later we had found John and Karkat and left for the checkout. Kankri and I found all of the ingredients that John needed to make his cakes. I said my good byes to he three and began my trek back home. I was only walking for 2minutes until Kankri caught up to me and took some of the bags that I was carrying. "Here let me take some of these." He said as he took some from my arms. I was surprised that he came after me. "Uh, Kankri it's not like I don't mind you being here and everything, but why are you here?" He smiled. "What kind of guy would I be if I let you walk home alone while carrying all these bags?" I felt my cheeks heat up. "T-thanks Kankri." He gave me a warm smile and continued our conversation from the store.
~~~
As we approached my house a car pulled up in front of it. One of my dad's friends from work exited the driver's side. "Hey James what's going on?" James turned and faced me. "Ah _____, perfect timing, do you think you can help me with your dad? He had gotten into a drinking game and lost." I face palmed. "Again? Alright, thanks for looking after him." I turned to face Kankri. "Heeeeeeeey, I'm sorry for having to ask you this but do you think you can take these bags inside for me?" Kankri nodded with a bit of concern on his face as he took the remaining bags of food from my arms. I ran up to the front door and opened it for him. "Feel free to make your self at home, Ill be with you soon." I left Kankri to go help James get my dad inside. Once inside we had managed to get my dad into his room and on the bed. After making sure that he can breath properly I covered him with a blanket and left him to sleep it off. "Thank you for bringing him here and looking after him. I should be able to take care of it from here on out." You told James as he walks to the front door. James chuckled. "I'm sure you will. And this time you have your boyfriend to help with that!" I didn't need a mirror to tell me that my face was as red as a cherry. "He's not my boy friend! We're just friends!" I protested. He chuckled again. "For now." He teases as he closed the door, leaving me a blushing mess with my crush probably somewhere close by.
