Picking at the cake in front of you, you can feel Karkat's gaze on you as he watches you. "Just fucking eat, (f/n)," he sighs after another minute passes.

"I'm not hungry," you explain, biting your lip at the lie. Truthfully, it's more that you're so nervous that you know for a fact you wouldn't be able to hold down any food you eat.

Karkat's eyes narrow. "Don't even fucking give me that bullshit. You are going to eat that gogdamn cake, and you are going to fucking enjoy it. You're the one who ordered it, and don't tell me you only did it to make me feel better. You want the cake, you're just not letting yourself even think of eating it. Well, you know what? Fuck that. Fuck the people who give you looks. Eat your cake and fucking enjoy it. If it's a piece of shit, we'll search the entire fucking town until we find a good piece. You deserve your cake more than anyone else here at this damn restaurant, okay?"

Perhaps an explanation could be in order. Your name is (f/n) (l/n), as you well know, and you have a large crush on your best friend, Karkat Vantas. So large, in fact, that you're not sure whether it constitutes as love. It's quite out in the open, thanks to an incident that ended up breaking your heart involving your sketchbook, but Karkat has been dating Terezi Pyrope for the last month or so. It's July 3rd today, and Terezi broke up with him on June 30th, so he's clearly suffering some heartache as well.

After your heartbreak, you ended up, essentially, starving yourself. You were never hungry, so what was the point in eating? But Karkat confronted you not too long ago about that, maybe a week ago, and you're starting to look less scarily thin. You're still too thin for his liking, and he's still keeping a close eye on you, but you no longer feel an obligation to eat. Now, you actually want to.

To your great surprise and joy, Karkat agreed to go on a date with you. "Now, no promises on any fucking romantic gestures," he warned, looking at you very seriously. "But why the hell not? I'll give it a shot, can't go any worse than my first date with Pyrope..." He shivered a little bit at the memory, clearly it had gone pretty badly.

Back to now. You take a tentative bite; your eyes widen as the flavor explodes in your mouth, and a smile crosses Karkat's face as you sink back in your chair, blissfully happy. "It's been too long since I've had something this good," you sigh, swallowing the bite and going immediately for another, much larger one.

"Didn't I fucking tell you? You wanted it, (f/n). Isn't it fucking great to just let yourself enjoy it?" The trolls leans forward, taking a bite of the croissant on his plate.

A bubbly little laugh escapes your mouth as you continue to eat, slowly enough to savor the taste but quickly enough to be done with it in a mere minute or so. Karkat is finish up his pastry as well, and you take this moment to tell him something. "You know, there are children here," you scold. "You could refrain from cursing. Or at least tone it down a bit!"

Karkat raises an eyebrow at you. "When have you ever known me to fucking tone down my language? Shit, I think most asshats know better than to even ask. But not you, you special little asshat," he rolls his eyes, but there's a fond smile there too. "You have the daring, and nerve, and sheer, utter stupidity to ask me to fucking tone it down. I think my level of grudging respect has increased just an inkling."

Bowing a little bit, you can't help but laugh. "That's quite a high compliment, Mister Vantas," you smile in return, crossing your arms on the small, circular table and leaning forward, closer to him. The cold metal of the outside makes you shiver, wishing you had thought to bring a jacket.

Karkat frowns, grabbing your arm and standing you up. "Come on," he begins to take you away, which is okay, because you paid before you got your food. Beginning back towards his hive, you smile at how protective he's being. He unlocks the door, literally pushing you inside; you stumble a little, causing you to trip over the shirt left out... in the middle of the living room. The mutant-blooded troll catches you before you can fall, causing a little blush to appear over both your faces as he notices where he caught you.

Placing you upright and quickly moving his hand down to your waist, Karkat says softly, "Don't speak too loudly. Kankri will fucking come out and lecture us both on the improprieties of people our age being left together without supervision. And ruin this date, basically."

You nod with a small laugh, sitting on the couch and snuggling up to him in a way you used to be so comfortable with before you realized you had a crush on him. It's quite nice, being this close to him. Karkat puts an arm around you, warming you up almost instantly, and you ask, "What about a movie?"

"Sure," he nods, pulling himself away from you to go grab one. "I'll put in one of the ones I haven't seen yet-- that way, I can't fucking spoil anything."

"Awesome!" You grin, waiting until he comes back and then cuddling with him again. If you had the guts to look up and see his expression, you would see a mix of grumpy amusement, happiness, and the faintest blush on his cheeks. All you can guess, though, is the grumpy bit.

Your first date with Karkat Vantas, and it is going so much better than you ever could have hoped.
Ugh it's kind of short but I tried okay

It's fluffy and that's what counts :heart:

Not sure how long this will end up being, maybe one or two more chapters?
