Description
"Happy fourth of July Karkat!" you yell as you run in the door and pull your boyfriend into a tight hug. You can tell that you surprised him. He hugs you back before pushing you away mumbling something about the heat.

"Lets go see the fireworks!" You say. The best part about the fourth of July are the fireworks. You pull on Karkat's arm a bit, trying to get him out the door and down a couple of blocks to the neighborhood's park.

"What the hell are fireworks. And stop pulling my arm off." He says firmly.

"Well...uh...basically, they are controlled, colorful explosions in the sky." You say wondering about the actual definition of a firework.

"They can't be all that amazing." Karkat says unconvinced. You grab your boyfriend's hand and pull him towards the door.

"Then why don't you prove me wrong."

You walk down the block holding his hand and trying to convince him that fireworks are awesome, excited none the less about watching the fireworks again this year. When you reach the park you look around, trying to find the best seat in the house. Finally you find a good spot near the lake where they are going to launch the fireworks. Sitting down, you pat the ground next to you, telling Karkat to sit.

As soon as he sits down you lean lightly against his shoulder, pulling yourself closer to him. Sitting like this you watch the sun set and the sky darken. Not long after, the first firework is shot off. You feel karkat jump at the bang it makes and you chuckle to yourself. Firework after firework are launched into the sky, exploding in bright greens, yellows, reds and blues.

All too soon the finale started. The whole sky lit up with the bright explosions. You can barely hear yourself think. You can tell you have a stupid grin on your face.

As the fireworks end, you calm down a bit. You can tell that Karkat is trying to hide the fact that he had fun. You smile at him in the near black darkness that had fallen.

"Happy fourth of July." You say. Then you kiss him.
