[John can't breathe. This is his chance. They went out to the movies, the two of them and Jade and Karkat and, oddly enough, Equius. It had been a good movie, except the parts where Karkat started screaming at the characters on the screen(horror movies got to him), but the car pools on the way home split both ways. John and Jade were both old enough to drive, being twins, but because they'd been adopted out to different families as child, they lived on different sides of town. Jade had agreed to drive Karkat and Equius home, as they lived on her side, and John... John was alone with Vriska for 20 minutes, with no chance of parents walking in or kids from school overhearing or awkward after time to deal with if she rejected him or anything at all. He thanked whatever gods might exist that her mother had had time to drive her here, but not to drive her back.]
[This was the time. There's a rest stop halfway between her house and the movies, and he forces himself to breathe and pulls over there. If he stopped the car anywhere else passing policemen might have noticed and come over to make sure everything was okay. Hopefully, this will be safe enough.]
Um, hey, Vriska?
[He swallows hard and stares hard at the steering wheel. There's a little salamander keychain hanging from the ignition, a present from Dave, who, coincidentally, had been encouraging him to get the balls to do this for months.]
Can... Can I talk to you about something? It's... kinda important.
