Chapter Text
A young kid stands alone, no, not John fucking Egbert. This cool kid’s name is none other than Dave Strider. His best bro is John who, not ironically, asked him to play this lame game called Sburb. So he ironically excepts the invite to play. He did not think this game would change his life forever. He did not think that this game would destroy his world.
And no, he did not think he would find his Bro dead, stabbed in the chest with a Katana.
Dave looks around the meteor, he hasn’t seen Rose all day. Where is she always going off to anyways…he sighs, she’s kinda the only person he has left right now, Karkat is fun to hang with and everything, but he’s just so uncool sometimes. Like, not even ironically. But Dave had to admit, he was pretty cute sometimes, and it’s fun to tease him. He had to say…he’s pretty sure he has an “interspecies” crush on the little guy. Sure, he was always so angry and hard to deal with, but that’s what made him all the more attractive. Kinda like “playing hard to get”, but in an ironic kinda way. Mainly because he wasn’t really doing that.
Dave smiles to himself a little bit, thinking about going to go see him.
Oh, and there he was now.
==> Dave, go mess with Karkat
You smirk and walk over to the awkward but cutely, short troll. You continuously poke him.
Dave: Hey, hey Karkat. Hey Karkat, Karkles, hey. Wassup bro.
Karkat: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT STRIDER
Dave: I love you.
Karkat: WH-WHAT! DON’T SCREW LIKE THAT WITH ME STRIDER YOU DUMBASS, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! GO BOTHER SOME OTHER TROLL…it’s not like you really like me anyways.
Dave: What? No bro, that ain’t true. I like you, you’re cool, and kinda cute. I wasn’t screwing with you. Calm down dude.
Kakat: So…you were serious?…
Dave: Hell yeah Kar, anyway I gotta go
==> Teasingly kiss Karkat on the cheek
You smirk and lean over and kiss his cheek, you dash away and all you hear in the distance is, “ GOD DAMMIT STRIDER! ”
You laugh to yourself then thoughtfully touch your lower lip with your thumb and continue to walk away.
You see Rose and Kanaya, Rose is surprisingly sober this time and they seem to be having a nice, lesbian, intellectual conversation.
==> Dave, eavesdrop
He shakes his head, nah, that ain’t cool. Gotta give the ladies their privacy.
He walks off again and decides to Explore. He walks down a few empty corridors, after some time he decides to go look for Terezi, see what she’s been doing. He knows Karkat likes Terezi, and he doesn’t mean to make Karkat jealous. He just thinks terezi is a cool chick. He really does like Karkat. And actually it makes him *jealous* that Karkat doesn’t like him that way.
Dave always had a thing for the ladies, but there was something about Karkat that he really liked. But it seems that if he was ever gonna have a relationship with Karkat, it already seemed what quadrant he picked out…he sighs to himself then looks up for a moment from his self-pondering. He sees a figure lying on the ground.
He sees that it is indeed the troll he was looking for. He sees Terezi…he decides to take a closer look at her. She stinks of Faygo, and is passed out in her dragon cape. He sighs as he turns around and goes back to find Karkat.
He passes Rose and Kanaya, who are now making out…he passes Sollux and Aradia who are talking about the afterlife. He finally comes to Karkat sitting around his computer sullenly and quiet.
Dave: Hey, Kar…
Karkat: What now Strider?
Dave: I got something to tell you
Karkat: Dave, if you’re gonna tease me again I swear…
Dave: No, Karkat, this is really important. I think you should listen. You gotta come see something.
Karkat looks at him a bit worried
Karkat: Strider, what are you talking about?
Dave: Terezi is kinda passed out…from Faygo, and a hella lot of it.
