You held back the urge to gag as you scrubbed yet another dirty plate with soapy suds, a sponge, and too big rubber gloves. If you hadn't already guessed, you and Karkat were doing the dishes as a results of your late night kitchen adventure the other day. What's more it that you would be stuck on kitchen duty for at least another day or two. Sighing you handed the clean plate to karkat who then dried it off and put in away.

"I don't understand why I have to scrub the nasty dishes." You complained

"BECAUSE WE FLIPPED A FUCKING COIN, THATS WHY. DEAL WITH IT"

You tried to convince Karkat to switch jobs but Karkat - being the stubborn grumpy ass that he is- refused. Each time more rude than the last I might add. And boy, were you pissed. Like seriously, all you wanted to do was switch jobs for a minuet or two, how hard could that be? Taking your soapy sponge you lazily threw it across the room, where it hit Karkat in the back.

"WHAT THE FLIPPING SHITS (Y/N)??"

You shrugged since you didn't really have a reason as to why you just did that. Ya you were mad, pissed even, but you definitely over reacted. Maybe you just felt the urge to throw something. Maybe you just wanted Karkat to turn around and look at you with captivating- wait what? I thought you were mad? You know what? Never mind.

"Did what?" You asked innocently.

"SO YOU WANT TO DO THE WHOLE FUCKING 'YOU THROW THING AT ME I THROW THING BACK AT YOU, IN THE END WE BOTH END UP SUCKING FACE ON THE FLOOR' KIND OF THING. WELL, IT'D BE TERRIBLY FUCKING RUDE OF ME NOT TO COMPLY."

"You want to suck my face on th-?!"

Karkat had interrupted you by throwing the damp wash cloth in your direction which you dodged. You then both stood there awkwardly as there were no more things to throw other than plates, and Karkat and you silently agreed not to throw the plates. When it seemed like the tension in the air couldn't get any thicker especially now since the 'throwing things at each other' thing had ended and the next step was 'to suck each other's faces off on the floor' an idea popped into your head.

"I'll be right back."
------------------------

"LISTEN TO MUSIC."

"Ya while we work to make it more fun, you know? Oh I'm sorry Kitkat that was extremely insensitive of me. I should probably explain to you what fun is," you joked

"SHUT YOUR FUCKING YOUR FOOD CHUTE, I CAN BE FUN," Karkat countered as he stormed to your laptop which was sitting on the counter.

"Ok, ok," you laughed, "since your so fun I'll let you pick a song then."

"I WILL PICK A SONG."

"Ok."

"OK," Karkat huffed as he scrolled through your songs, surprising you as he picked "feel again" by OneRebublic. Cleaning plates to the beat you softly bumped your hip against Karkat's and sang along to the song.

"~It's been a long time coming since I've seen your face. I've been every where and back trying to replace everything that I had till my feet went numb, praying like a fool that's been on the run.

"~HEARTS STILL BEATING BUT ITS NOT WORKING, " Karkat cut in surprising you. His voice was scratchy but smooth, forced but natural. It really did confuse you... But you liked it, "ITS LIKE A MILLION DOLLAR PHONE THAT YOU JUST CANT RING. I REACHED OUT TRYING TO LOVE, BUT I FEEL NOTHING. YEAH MY HEART IS NUMB."

Then you both sang, "but with you, I feel again. Yeah with you, I feel again...Yeah."

Karkat grabbed your left hand then placed his right just below your shoulder blade like you were going to do some fancy waltz or something. You couldn't be more wrong. Together, you and Karkat galloped and spun around the room to the beat. In fact you were having so much fun you hardly registered the music still going "~*whoo-hoo" in the background.

"~ I'm feeling better since you know me"

"~I WAS A LONELY SOUL BUT THATS THE OLD ME"

"~It's been a long time coming since I've seen your face. I've been every where and back trying to replace everything that I had till my feet went numb, praying like a fool just shy of a gun" you sang as you tossed wet plastic plates to Karkat which he rhythmically dried off.

"~HEARTS STILL BEATING BUT ITS NOT WORKING, ITS LIKE A HUNDRED THOUSAND VOICES THAT JUST CANT SING. I REACHED OUT TRYING TO LOVE, BUT I FEEL NOTHING. OH MY HEART IS NUMB"

"~ But with you," you grabbed your sponge and goofily sang into in like it was a microphone.

"~ I FEEL AGAIN," Karkat mimicked your actions but with a serving spoon he was drying instead.

"~yeah with you."

"I CAN FEEL AGAIN."

"~but with you"
"~IM FEELING BETTER SINCE YOU KNOW ME"
"~I feel again"
"~I WAS A LONELY SOUL BUT THATS THE OLD ME"
"~ yeah with you"
"~IM FEELING BETTER SINCE YOU KNOW ME"
"~ I can feel again"
"~ I WAS A LONELY SOUL"

"~*whoo-hoo"

You grabbed Karkats hand and did the wave, then he took over and started twirling you around and dipping you. Then the both of you proceeded to do the robot, the pony, the can-can, and just plain jumping around on the spot. By the time the song ended you were both a heaving mess. The next song came on but you weren't really paying attention. You were to acutely aware of the heat radiating off Karkats body and the big contrast that had with the cool floor.

"You know we will have dished to wash.."

"SHUT UP ASS WIPE. WAIT TO RUIN THE ROMANTIC MOMENT."
