Who: Karkat and Terezi
When: Backdated to right after Valentine's Day
Where: 2235 Stevens Road
What: Make up date!
Warnings: Children kissing?

[After he acted like a complete asshole on Valentine's Day, Karkat really needs to make things right with his hopefully-still-girlfriend. (On the other hand, she totally went for the black kissing just so she could lick his blood, which is a completely nauseating thought, and she made out with at least two other guys. He's trying very hard not to be bothered by either of those things.)

Humans in movies apologize with flowers and normally some red roses would seem like a good idea, but for the time being plant life doesn't seem like the best pic. Instead, he picks up some Valentine candy hearts and spends some time trying to make her a card, going through several drafts until he stumbles on a design terrible enough for her.

With that done, he'll go to her hive and knock.]

All right. I'd like that.

[And he's trying to think through the possibilities in his head-- the fancy human romance place turned out to be a lot of money and not very good food, the movie theater is something probably only he will enjoy...]

Do you want to pick? The human practice with the man deciding seems kind of fucking pointless.

[she grins.]

Let's go to the movie theater! [she steeples her fingers together. she knows Karkat would probably like watching one of the human romance films, and she's aware that a movie theater is basically a room with an enormous screen. an enormous screen filled with color. as Terezi moves on to explain out loud:] It will be like an olfactory feast for me and a soulful emotional touching blubbery religious experience for you.

Oh. You sure?

[He knows she doesn't like his stupid movies, but he thinks it'd be fun to watch one with her even if he knows she won't really be into it the way he is (or maybe she will realize how romantic it is while watching it and decides she likes these movies after all?).]

I know there's a good one playing today, but we can watch something else if you want.

Oh, Karkat, do not pretend as though this idea doesn't set your vascular organ all pitter-patter. Pitters and patters are pretty much spilling out of your ears right now.

I have made my choice, and that choice is to go to the movies.

I'm not denying I like fucking movies, I'm just saying I can watch them on my own!

But fine, we'll go to a movie. It's too late, you can't change your mind.

Wasn't planning to! Excellent. Shall we go?

There should be a decent one starting in a half an hour.

[No, Karkat why do you know the movie times...]

Decent for human rom which isn't as good and kind of confusing. But okay, I guess. Yeah, let's get going.

[k,.....karkat how do you even..... know about the........... you know what don't answer that

i'm going to assume that they get into an argument over whether or not terezi gets to ride them both there on her sweet cherry-red bicycle with streamers and wind up compromising or walking. BUT timeskipping to when they arrive at the theater.]

We will get candy before it starts. That is not a question.

[Getting out his wallet! He isn't crazy about movie theater candy (though he does like popcorn a lot), but he will be a good date and pay.]

I wasn't going to say we can't get candy. Which one do you want?

The red ones.

[what do you mean this isn't a perfectly valid choice...]

There's more than one type of red candy.

[But getting some licorice and popcorn.]

Red all tastes the same. [to Terezi anyway.]

[Like her licking his blood??? Suddenly gross flashbacks but yeah he's just going to...ignore that...

He'll just stare adoringly at this poster of Audrey Hepburn instead.]

[and she will respond by pinching his cheek and jerking his head away from it because she can smell that alluring human woman!!!]

You are not her type anyway!

[No his love for her is pure and innocent, but fine.]

She's just a human actress, I admire her acting. You'll see her in the movie, her acting elevates primitive human cinema to a level where it can be actually enjoyed, that's all.

Wow, I'm gonna be sick! Blah. That was the sound of me being sick. Everywhere.

There's nothing sickening about her!

BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

[exaggerated fake gagging >:[ trying to drag him into the theater now.]

[Fine then it's just going to be an entire movie of her being adorable non-stop!!

Picking out good seats in the theater.]

[turzi will never 4give him.........

once seated she begins gnawing licorice, leaning on him obnoxiously.] How long is this going to be?

I don't know, it always feels shorter than it is. You'll like this one, though, it's really good.

[Yes, he's seen it before...]

It's about the human empress Audrey Hepburn who poses as a commoner in the fictional country of Rome. Gregory Peck is a spy who recognized the empress and is trying to learn her secrets by pretending to court her.

See? That doesn't sound so bad, right?

[oh hey that sounds pretty good actually...]

I guess it sounds okay. So it's a kismesis movie?

Humans don't have kismesis movies. They fall for each other flushed despite their differences.

Lame! But I bet you have no problem with that.

It's a shame that their films are limited to one quadrant. But the flushed romance is really nice in this one even though I sort of think it should be pale.
