A/N: This struck me in psychology class when we were learning about regression. Hope you enjoy~!

'Beep-Beep-Beep'

A groan came from the pile of covers as a hand escaped and slammed itself down on the alarm clock. Slowly but surely, the sheets began to stir even more before a body lifted itself out. Spiky black hair stuck out in different directions while reddish-brown eyes tiredly opened to scan the room. Curses slipped from his lips as he contemplated moving to go to school today or not. Unfortunately, the decision was made for him when a knock sounded out.

"Karkat? Karkat, I hope you are awake. You are not going to miss school today like you did before. I just will not allow it."

"Ugh, shut up Kankri, I'm getting up okay?"

"Well I do not hear you emerging from the bed nor your room, so I assume you are trying to make me leave and then you will merely lie back down and go back to sleep. I really do not understand why you try so hard to avoid school Karkat. It is essential for your future and you will have to pay it back and-"

Karkat got up and strided to the door, nearly ripping it off its hinges as he glared at his older brother. The other was already dressed in his same day apparel, a bright red sweater and dark jeans with matching sneakers. His arms were crossed and he regarded Karkat with the utmost of annoyance.

"If you say one more fucking word, I will kick your ass all the way to Shangri-bullshit-La and back, understand?"

Kankri merely raised a brow and walked away, leaving his younger brother to mutter threats under his breath before he waltzed into the bathroom.

(Karkat's POV)

I honestly can't stand my fucking brother. He never knows how to shut up when I want him to and always has these long ass lectures that go on and on. Dammit, it's like he never has an off switch. I walked into the bathroom, slamming the door shut and angrily grabbing my toothbrush.

While I brushed my teeth, I looked into the mirror. I honestly can't stand how I look, pale skin and dark ass hair that make my eyes and freckles pop out even more. Like I honestly need anymore attention. Kankri however, learned to embrace it and seems proud with the way he looks. That is literally the only thing I can say I admire about that asshole. After I finished up in the bathroom and left it with a towel around my waist, quickly dashing to my room before Kankri could reach me.

"Alright now what to wear..."

I thought about for a bit but then went 'Screw it' and picked out my usual black sweater with the cancer sign on it and gray jeans. Slipping on my sneakers and grabbing my shit, I walk downstairs where, surprise, surprise, he's waiting for me. I hate that condescending look he always seems to give me whenever I'm around. I mean, I get it since Dad isn't around much cause of his work, Kankri has to take on those duties but still, does that give him a right to be so rude? No, I didn't think so.

"Well you seem to have taken much less time with your morning procedures. That's good, now you can have breakfast-"

"I'm not hungry."

"Are you serious? You need to eat something Karkat. I will not let you skip breakfast."

"I said, I'm not hungry. Just let it be. I'll fucking eat something later in the day okay?"

He opened his mouth to say something but I think the look I gave him made him shut up. Thank god. He sighs and picks his backpack off the countertop, walking off to the front door. I followed soon after. It was pretty quiet for a bit which I was thankful for. But I guess all good things must come to an end or some shit like that because as soon as I took another step, Kankri started to speak. Again. And not only that, this time he's touching me.

"Oh look at that. Your hair is so disheveled, why couldn't you fix it correctly?"

"Oh. My. God. Please-"

"Karkat, your clothes are messy too. Why didn't you iron them-?"

"Shut the fuck up, you maggot infested shit monger!"

"Now Karkat, you know how I feel about your language. You are triggering me with such vulgar words, must I always warn you too-?"

And I proceeded to let out a rage yell that awoke half of the neighborhood. Ugh, it was going to be a long day...

A/N: So yeah, this is the first chapter of my story. Hope it's good enough for a next chapter, I'll try to update every week or so :)
