Why him? KarkatxReader

“Besides you only have one damned quadrant! I mean come on, how monotone is that!” Karkat snarled.
“Face it KarKitty~~~ you only use that excuse because you know it means you have less opportunities to get with me” you snapped as you swiped at the collar of his sweater, enjoying the outraged hiss he was beginning to produce.
“You’re almost as arrogant as that fu*kass Dave and as stupid as that dork John” the troll bared his teeth with a growl. You scrunched up your nose at the comparison he had made between you and Dave. You puffed out your chest and set your shoulders, there were two things that could set you off quicker than anything else, Karkat’s piss-poor attitude and the act of dissing John. Both had just come into play. In a single swift movement you snatched one of the troll’s horns, pulling him down to your level. This not only caught him off guard but it scared the hell out of him.
“Don’t talk about John like that you piece of shit” you whispered in his ear, making sure to tug on his pathetic excuse for a horn.
“……” Karkat gritted his teeth in anger, trying to suppress the crimson that was rising on his gray cheeks.
“Apologize dip-thong” you spoke in a menacing tone.
“Hell No!” Karkat snorted in attempt to free himself.
“Now” you commanded, tightening your grip as you slid your thumb across the red-banned base of the nubby horn. A sadistic smile crept across your features as you heard him groan. Karkat’s horns may have been sad little nubs but they were more sensitive than most. “I could care less what you say about Dave but don’t you ever call John names in front of me” you brought your fee hand up to pull on his reddening cheek. Karkat’s shoulders straightened as his glare traveled up from the floor to look you directly in the eyes.
“You’re such an obnoxious human” he mumbled through clenched teeth. You flinched as his gray hand wrapped around your wrist that was griping his horn. You pursed your lips as his fingernails dug into the flesh of your forearm.
“Let go” you hissed
“You let go dumbass” The two of you stood there silently for a couple of moments before your phone pinged. It was John’s text alert which made you all the more excited. A smile made itself present as you eyed your phone that was continuing to ping on your bed.
“Whatever” You released Karkat, not giving him a second glance as you turned away to answer your close friend.
“Figures” Karkat mumbled. You strode over to your bed, quickly snatching up your device and were already replying to Egbert’s messages. Karkat sighed obnoxiously before making his way over to the bed, plopping down onto the plush mattress. He gave your cellphone an aggravated scowl before he buried his face in the folded comforter that rested at the foot of your bed. You being preoccupied with texting John weren’t aware of the troll who was beginning to burrow into your neatly folded blankets. Karkat inhaled deeply as he rubbed his forehead against the cool fabric, he sighed faintly, closing his eyes. It smelled like you. This *in his mind* smelt damn good, though he’d never tell you that out loud, let alone anytime soon since you and John had your heads so far up each other’s asses. He clenched his fists, gripping the cotton sheets unconsciously. Karkat’s thoughts were cut off as a sharp pain erupted in his lower torso.
“Hey! Get your nubs off of my bed” you snapped, kicking the troll in the side once more in attempt to push him off.
“OW, STOP TH_!!” you interrupted him again, this time sending him tumbling off the edge….but not before he grabbed your ankle and jerked you down with him. You heard a muffled groan as you scrambled to grab your phone but instead of saving you precious device you only succeeded in popping your wrist.
“Get the hell off!” Karkat yelled, angrily flipping you off of his back he quickly swiped your phone up off the floor.
“Damn you, give it here” you spoke hastily trying to pry it from his hand. Karkat glared down at the locked screen.
“Pfft~ John can wait” he spat, tossing your phone across the room where it landed in the laundry basket. “What’s so special about Egbert?” Karkat glared down at you with an unreadable expression that was slowly making you panic. The angry Alternians frown deepened as he pinned you against the wooden bed post. You looked up at him trying to conceal your embarrassment. You grabbed at his collar in a feeble attempt to throw him off when that didn’t work you tugged at the raven locks by his ears. Karkat pulled your wrist from his hair, biting the base of your thumb, not enough to draw blood but enough to hurt like a bitch. You squealed in pain as your brought your knees up, pushing against his torso trying to free yourself once more.
“Why is John at the top of your give-a-shit list?” The crabby troll mumbled with part of your hand still in his mouth. You furrowed your brows in attempt to hide the creeping blush that was beginning to flood your pale cheeks. You kind of liked John in a sense but you didn’t want to talk to this douche about one of your potential crushes, and the fact that every time he spoke his tongue would brush against the flesh of your palm.
“John is sweet, he listens and never complains, and most of all he doesn’t have the temper of a seventy-year-old that’s been on her menopause for the past ten years!” Karkat’s snarl faded into something softer, more understanding than his loathing glare as he released your hand.
“I-I know I’m a jerk and inconsiderate and above all a big sack of shit….. I’m a lousy friend” he grunted, shifting his weight.
“…..Are you trying to apologize?” You looked over at the candy blood in awe, Karkat wasn’t known for handing out apologies of any sort.
“I think so, I mean…it’s obvious that you have a flush crush going for John” he stated plainly, the anger in his tone being replaced with disappointment. Karkat didn’t really see the use in competing with your own species; it was stupid, even if he didn’t want to admit it.
“I never said that!” You defended.
“Yeah, the color on your face says otherwise” He snorted, his voice cracking a little. Karkat leaned forward to stand only to halt as your hands crept up his arms. The male troll looked at you in confusion, not saying a word.
“You always seem so concerned whenever John and I would hang out, now I know it’s because you were jealous, even now you are. So why haven’t you asked me how I feel about you?” you looking up, meeting his tired eyes as you smiled softly.
“Because I can’t deal with the fact that I have red feelings for someone who isn’t interested in the least, especially when they’re attracted to dorks” he frowned, slanting his eyes. You tried not to laugh as you continued to look at him.
“For someone who is obsessed with RomComs you sure are oblivious to the cliché”
“What’s so cliché about this?” He grunted in aggravation.
“Karkat….John and I are good friends, he knows that, I know that, but I don’t think you do” You spoke, getting quieter as you continued. “I hang out with John because we enjoy each other’s company but you always seem annoyed when I’m around and even when I’m not…..you act like a jealous asshole anyway” you sighed. Karkat gave you a surprised look.
“I guess that does make me a bit of an asshole….” He chuckled halfheartedly.
“Just a little” you smirked as you trailed a hand down his shoulder. You could clearly see Karkat’s lip quiver as you pulled him down to face you. His shoulders tensed as you softly kissed him. You were practically shaking as your lips made contact with his, it wasn’t like you at all to make the first move…..but you did. Karkat took a moment to process what was actually happening as you pulled away with a tiny smile of achievement, he however looked like a beet.
“Your face is RED~” you chuckled as he gave you a shy grin, which was odd coming from him *but oh my cod it was adorable!* Karkat was trying to hold back how relieved he was, you had already accepted him before he had realized it himself, he would never tell you but he was practically ecstatic. Your phone was now pinging off the hook, John was blowing up your phone like crazy and other text tones were beginning to sound as well. You looked over trying to spot your phone only to be directed into a full frontal kiss as Karkat pressed his gray lips to your own, your face heated as he brushed his tongue across your bottom lip asking to deepen the kiss. With a slight smirk you opened your mouth for him to enter as you warily tried to avoid his fangs (no need to cut yourself on the first kiss~~).
Karkat started to press down on you further as he slid a hand around your waist, letting your free hand entangle itself in his raven hair. He wrapped his gray fingers around your pale hand, directing you to the opposite side of his head. Taking the hint you placed your thumb on the tip of the nubby horn, smiling as he began to purr. The computer was beginning to go off every other second which was beginning to aggravate the piss out of you when the door to your room suddenly burst open. You and Karkat jumped in unison as Dave kicked down the door with a placid face, but you could tell by the displeased frown he was indeed upset.
“Dave!?” You shouted at the blonde while Karkat remained on top of you as he continued to glare at the strider.
“You two need to cut the shit now before this turns into an all-out porno fest up in here” Dave replied coolly.
“……” You and Karkat looked at each other in confusion. Dave sighed as he put one of his hands in his pocket.
“You two are serving each other a tongue buffet live via internet, some retard left the webcam on and the settings on chat. I couldn’t even listen to my own sick fires because you two ass nuggets were hogging up all the feed like starving third world orphans. Plus I wasn’t enjoying seeing the two of you act like a pair of horny and emotionally deprived animals all trip’n on acid.”
“Oh…..” you looked over at your computer screen and noticed the web cam was steadily flashing a green notification light.
“OH MY COD!” You screeched as you pushed Karkat off of you and ran towards your monitor to turn it off, not even attempting to read the messages that had been sent. Your face turned unbelievably red as you turned towards the Strider boy. “Dave….get the hell out of my room” you stammered, making sure not to look at his face.
“Pfft~ don’t have to tell me twice” the shaded boy turned, leaving you shaking where you stood as Karkat stood up from the floor.
“So….what do we do now?” the troll coughed awkwardly.
“Well….since everyone is now updated on our affairs…. I say we finish what we’ve started.”
