I probably do not give a fuck.

[ they've lucked out so far that no one has overheard and told them to shut up. once that happens, karkat will probably die, but so far it's fine. ]

You and I, we don't have to be like them
We can make it til the end
Nothing can come between...
You and I!

[ he even points dramatically between the two of them at that last "you and i" part. ]

[explodosafe]

[Who knows, maybe they'll get some fans or at least internet famous for a hot minute...!

Kirishima grins at the cue and delivers his deathblow.]

But you don't know me, you don't know me
you don't know me
at all

But... can... you
go... back...
once
you know~?

You don't know me at all!

[The tones to the lyrics are playful, turning it into friendly teasing paired with a gentle challenge. I'm not who or what you think I am, care to find out how it's for real? I'll return the favor!]

[alienates]

[ he just wanted to fill out a bingo square. and instead ended up with this odd sort of showdown. the more cutter gets into it, including the grinning, the more worked up karkat gets. he's still flushed but he's more determined than anything to beat him. ]


You can paint me any color
And I can be your clown
But you ain't got my number
Yeah you can't pin me down!

[explodosafe]

Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
yeah, the show must go on~

[Okay, he is doing this very freely now, but there's no way he's intoning Clowns or Black Parade.]

[alienates]

[ at that, he makes a face. at least sing it right, you asshole?? if anything though, it also makes karkat pause long enough and stop singing as he wonders in disbelief how the fuck is this happening right now.

he snaps out of it, and hastily goes to do a different verse from a song. ]

It's just what I need, I'm not that easy as a matter of fact
There's no room for lovin' stop that push and shovin' yeah
Don't wanna know about that love thing
Give me what I'm needing you know what I'm dreaming of
Don't wanna know about that love thing...

[explodosafe]

[..and that's the point where Cutter bursts out laughing, shaking his head because he can't get enough air between his giggles to continue with their match.]

One moooment, dude, you're asking for just sex now?! That's way off the beginning mark!

1/2

[alienates]

What? No, you're looking way into the lyrics! It has nothing to do with that, you--

[ ah, wait.

he quickly goes over the song in his head, frowning as he mumbles along to the lyrics of this spice girls classic. ]

[alienates]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK shit no shut the hell up!

[ now he does, in fact, look embarrassed. sometimes you go from love ballads to pop songs about propositioning for one night stands, it happens, leave him alone. ]

That one didn't count.

[explodosafe]

[He waits for Karkat to come to his conclusion with a patient grin although it's obvious he is just waiting to burst out laughing again. When he does he pats Karkat's back energetically.]


Foiled by the melody hiding the topic, huh? But don't worry, you really put up a good fight! I'm in your debt, I didn't have such a good time in a while!

[Sometimes you just need some mindless, shameless fun to chase away your spectors!]

[alienates]

You are acting as if we didn't just hit the top tier level of stupidity. We actually went over the top tier, we've not even on the scale anymore of ridiculousness.

[ now that they're done singing, it's really hitting him how embarrassing that whole show was. he rubs his face, his face red again.

god. they're both stupid. ]

[explodosafe]

Well, we could still try and see if we can nail Promiscious as well? I'm pretty sure you could do the male part really well!

[He grins at him happily, because it seems that Karkat understands. Things like these are about testing out your own limits and it seems like they both went far over what they thought theirs were! The next time they balk at something they can remember this night and use it as ammunition to keep themselves going!]

[alienates]

I can nail any part really well.

[ he says it completely seriously, as if his singing wasn't just god awful. he also won't admit that cutter's was better than his? he can be a child about a lot of things, and admitting when other people did better is one of those things. ]

[explodosafe]

With or without a hammer?

[He wriggles his eyebrows because he's sixteen and you cannot expect him to ignore an opening like that.]

[alienates]

[ he smacks him on the arm? they're at the smacking stage now. even if they weren't, karkat would have done it anyway because he's embarrassed. ]

If one more word comes out of those lips I am going to murder you.

[explodosafe]

Hey! [He dances back just to pop right back into his space and smack him back playfully. Looks like he just found a bro!]

If I'm not allowed to talk, than can I sing?

[alienates]

[ this is the most surreal "bonding" experience karkat has had in his life. he makes a squawking sound when cutter actually smacks him back. ]

No. Singing is the most banned at all. It's a pretty taboo thing around these parts and if I spot you serenading again you have to go to jail and you can't collect $200.

[explodosafe]

Huuuuh, in that case you owe me $400 already!

[He won't point out that Karkat started the whole serenading thing just yet.]

[alienates]

What? Who the fuck carries $400 with then? Rejected. This is your fault.

[ look.

karkat has no defense, but he'll be stubborn about this anyway. ]

[explodosafe]

Well!

I only started singing because you asked me to and then you joined in as well! So it's your fault that both of us sang!

[A+ logic here!]

[alienates]

Okay, yes, but you didn't have to actually go along. I only did it for bingo!

[ that doesn't explain how carried away he got with it. ]

[explodosafe]

That's something I want somebody to either tell the police or write on their gravestone.

Besides, you liked it!

[alienates]

Wanting to win and liking something are two completely different things! My pride was on the line there!

[ it's not that deep. ]

[explodosafe]

[Stupidly competitive, huh? He can't say he dislikes that type.]

Seriously? And I thought we were just fooling around. Going that far for your pride is pretty manly of you.

[alienates]

Manly? Well...

[ he puffs up his chest. ]

Yeah it was pretty manly.

[explodosafe]

Right? We should do it again sometime!

[Oh dear. Looks like you've made a friend.]

My name's Cutter by the way. I mean, not really, it's Alan Sharpe, but it's my nickname y'know? So call me by it! What's yours?
