Nepeta X Karkat
*Author’s Note: I recommend listening to Pandora’s “A Drop in The Ocean” radio station while reading.
Nepeta
Nepeta slowly opened her eyes to the bright morning sunlight shining in from the window in the roof of her cave. Karkat lay sleeping peacefully beside her and she marveled at how sweet he looked when he was asleep. She blushed thinking about everything that happened that night and how amazing it had been with him.
*************
She had walked blindly forward slowly letting Karkat’s hand on her back guide her in the right direction.
“Okay, Nepeta, you can look.”
When she had opened her eyes the sight before her was incredible. Her cave was glowing with hundreds of candles everywhere and in the middle of the room was a table covered in the best looking food Nepeta had ever seen. Karkat had been so quiet and nervous, but it was the most wonderful thing Nepeta had ever seen.
After dinner had been even better as they had expressed their love for each other without any words. Karkat promised that he would always take care of and protect her. She couldn’t help feeling as though the entire world had been set right.

“Good morning,” Karkat mumbled pulling Nepeta back on top of him and holding her tightly.
“Good morning,” she sighed contentedly against his chest holding him back.
She couldn’t help the feeling of pure joy and warmth that she felt snuggling with her beautiful matesprit. Out of all the shipping she had done over the years and all of the ones that worked out she knew that this was the only one that really mattered to her; because, he was her everything. She would never need to search for a matesprit again because, she was his, and that made the world a brighter place.
“Nepeta?” Karkat said suddenly interrupting her thoughts and squeezing her a little tighter so, that she was almost uncomfortable.
“Mhmm?” She wondered what he was thinking about that made him so tense all of the sudden.
“I know that the humans are pretty stupid and everything, and I’m not sure how it would work within the quadrants, but I was wondering…”
“Yes?” she questioned confused.
“Would you human marry me?”
Karkat
There he had finally asked. He had wanted to make sure she knew how much he loved her before he asked and that was why he had set up everything last night. He had meant to ask her before they went to bed but everything had gone so well that he couldn’t work up the courage to ruin it if things went badly when he did ask. However, this morning when he had woken up to see her blushing at him with so much happiness he knew that he had to ask her. Now if only she would answer instead of staring at him with her beautiful mouth hanging open like that.
“Fuck Nepeta it would be nice if you could give me an answer one way or the other. I mean I’m obviously hoping that you’ll say yes but, don’t leave me…” And Nepeta cut him off with a kiss. Damn her mouth felt so good against his he wished he never had to stop kissing her. “Is that a yes?” He asked a little breathless from the kiss.
“Yes!” She pounced on him again kissing him until they were both completely out of breath.
