Bumping his way through the corridors, he double-checks the room they were in before, even though he knows she wouldn't have stayed there. He sniffs the room one more time and shuts the door behind him and sniffs down the hall. There are a couple more doors, and then a turn. She's probably past the turn, down near that broken transportalizer that Kanaya or whoever trashed during all the drama. He moves down the hall slowly and carefully. What would he even say to her when he found her?
Terezi, Karkat said to kiss you so that's what I'm doing.
Terezi, I pity you in a matesprit way.
Hey babe, let's fill some buckets.
You smell like poison hyacinths.
I can't live without you.
Please say yes.
He stops before the bend in the hallway and just stands there, leaning against the wall. This time he can't tell himself he's just being cautious, or trying not to embarrass himself in front of her. This time he's not moving at all.
What would she even say to him? If he got lucky, she would drub him with her cane and make fun of him for the rest of their natural lives. She would tell everyone that he bent down on his knees and begged for her pity, that he was crying, that he threatened to kill himself. She would probably ignore him forever. Everyone would ignore him forever, except Karkat, who would thump him now and then to remind him that he won, he's a little less of a pathetic loser.
He could always crawl into some dusty corner and wait for her to make the first move. Except that wasn't likely to work twice. Maybe if he did threaten, but no, he didn't need a moirail, he never needed one. Besides, he couldn't be like every other dumbfuck loser who let himself get moirail-zoned, no, begged for it even. That's pathetic.
Lost in thought, he smells her coming just a couple of seconds too late to abscond. He takes a few steps back.
She stops. "You know, I never believed Karkat about you," she says. "I always thought you were smarter than you let on."
"Fuck, Terezi," he says, "what did you expect? You can't go and lick someone and expect them not to get a little flustered."
Terezi snorts. "So, you have to be here for a reason. What is it that you want to tell me?"
He shuffles his feet. "That," he says evasively.
"Not to lick you?" He thinks she might be cocking her eyebrow, but he can't quite tell.
"No." He hesitates. "That... that I was flustered."
He hears her moving. "Would it be easier for you if we did this over Trollian chat?" she asks.
He makes a face, but says, "Probably."
Terezi snorts. "You really are a dumbfuck loser."
